FORCE OF HABIT.

A FTER having been faithful devotee
IA of the automobile two years or
more, Mr.. Bragdon suddenly was seized
with a violent fancy for motor boats. "A
beautiful river runs by this town. he
said, "why not have some enjoyment out
of it? In a motor boat you don't have
to dodge policemen and rural con-
stables"
So he bought one, took a days in
struction in the art of managing it and
keeping the machinery in running order,
and started out on his first trip with it
one bright morning in July.
1t was late in the afteronon when he
returned home. He came in by the
back way. His clothes were water
soaked, and he had a generally limp and
bedraggled appearance.
For PHYS sake, Alfred" exclaimed
his wife, what has happened to you?
Did the boat upset?"
mo, Lucy" he answered. Don't say
anything about it, and I'll tell you. The
boats all right, but when | had been out
on the water an hour or two something
went wrong with the motor"
"Well ?"
well, before I-er-knew what | was
doing | was over the side of the boat
and trying to get under it to fix the
thing. Chicago Meas.

PROVING HIMSELF ALIVE.

A N interesting anthology could be made,
IA composed solely of stories about
persons whose deaths we're supposed to
have taken place when they were really
well and alive. In Sankey's Story of
His Own Life" there is an incident of
this kind. On one occasion, on train,
Mr.. Sankey fell into conversation with
a man who shared his seat. After dis
cussing the weather and politics, they
entered upon the subject of religion.
This finally led to the discussion of
Moody and Sankey.
The stranger said that he had never
had the pleasure of hearing either of
them. When | told him | had often
heard Moody preach and Sankey sing,
he seemed much interested, and asked:
what kind of folks are they"
ooh they are jut common folks like
you and me-" l replied.
His daughter, he said, had cabinet
organ, and they were all very fond OF
the Gospel Hymns" and he was sorry
that he had not had the opportunity of
hearing Sankey sing THE Ninety and
Nine" before the author of the hymn
had died.
asked him what proof he had of San
keys death He replied that he had
seen it in the newspapers.
at must be true if you have seen it
in the papers," | said.
By this time we were nearing the
station where my friend was to get out.
Hearing the whistle blow, he looked out
of the window and remarked, 81 have
enjoyed your company very much, but
shall soon have to leave you now"
81 hardly think it is fair that we
should part without telling you that l
am one of the men we have been talking
about" l said.
"Why, who are your"
81 am what is left of Sankey."
At this he reached for his gripsack, and
giving me quizzical look, he said, "You
can't play that on me, old fellow San
key is dead" Then he rushed for the
door, leaving me to continue my journey
alone.

She had flung her arms about him.
Her cheek, soft with all the roundness
of girlhood, was laid against his own,
and he could feel it wet with tears.
He was very nearly losing self-con-
troll and taking her to his heart; but
because he was a man, and ashamed
of the emotion that had swept over him
like an engulfng wave, he pushed her
roughly from him. She lay at his feet
like fallen angel-but he set his teeth
against her bitter cry, and went from
the room.

in upon him.

startled eyes-"she was not well when
she went to bed. She complained of
faintness, and now Oh, my lord,

He followed up the stairs into the bed

sudden spasm of pain had passed, but
her face was white, and her eyes
turned hopelessly toward her be-
trothed.

unusual gentleness as he went up to
her.
"It is death, think" she answered,
weakly.

he kissed her. ut is life, little girl

HEAVEN OR ALelERs-WHIcH?

The late bishop of Rochester, who had
been ailing for some months, decided
TO consult Sir Frederick Treves, the
famous surgeon. After a careful exam

verdict, and added: Your lordship

sort on the Riviera"
"Impossible!" replied the bishop.

with a sigh. "Then I suppose it must
be Algiers."

ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY

Mrs. Malone's patience was much
tried by a servant who had habit OF

IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS
Roosevelt Tells Senate He Approved
Act Of Steel Corporation.

fASS VI 0kCSt vi pOi anvil
Washington, Jan. President
Roosevelt informed the senate in no
uncertain terms that he had given
his approval to the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the United States Steel corporation
and that he had instructed Attorney
General BoDaparte not to respond to
the senate inquiry as to the reason for
his failure to prosecute the steel com
pany. The president concluded his
message with the statement that he
does not conceive it ''to be within the
authority of the senate to give direc-
lions of this character to the head of
an executive department.
The message to the senate was in
response to resolution introduced
by Senator Culberson calling on the
attorney general to state whether he
had brought an action against the
steel company because of it's acquisi-
ton of the Tennessee concern, and if
not, the reason for non-action.

in the little Rattle Rum Methodist
church in Columbus township. With

MADE PUBLIC BY PRESIDENT
Details of TiIIman's Alleged Connec-
ton With "Land Grab"

Washington, Jan. president
Roosevelt has made public the details
of an investigation by postoffice in
spectors and secret service agents Of
Senator Tillman's connection with an
alleged "land grab in Oregon. AS
he presents the evidence to Senator
Hale, in response to the latter's re-
quest to the heads of the various ex.
ecutive departments for a statement
of the operations of the secret service,
the president undertakes to show:
That Mr.. Tillman used his influence
as a senator in an effort to force the
government to compel a railroad cor
poration to relinquish it's control of
land grants from the United States in
order that he and his family and his
secretary, J. B. Knight, might profit
through the purchase of some of the
land.
That the senator used his govern
ment franking privilege in numerous
instances for the conduct of private
business.
The communication to Senator Hale
is nearly 5000 words long, and in adj
| dition there is appended numerous ex-
hibits, including copies of letters writ
ten by Senator Tillman and his agent,
William E. Lee. showing that they
did make an effort to secure several
quarter sections of the Oregon land,
and the reports of the postof1ice in
| spectors who investigated the trans
actions of the land agents, 1t was

alleged interest of Senator Tillman
was brought to light, and, fatefully, it
appears that it was at his instigation
