DIFFERENT, YET ALIKE.

A companion picture to Mr.. Roose-
velt's abandonment of the storm and
stress of public life for seclusion in
savage Africa is presented in the re-
treat of the Hon. John Sharp Williams
into the library of his plantation home
in Yazoo. The same sentiment actu-
ated the two men. The only differ
ence was in tastes. Both were sur
feited with publicity, and their aban-
donment Of the stage can be under
stood and appreciated by many an
other who would like to do the same.
Vanity is the food of little minds. The
small man is satisfied to spend his
life trying to keep in the public eye,"
either for profit or the qualification
of self-love. It is not of the pathos
of life that each one of us loves and
longs for something far different from
that which fate or chance or circum-
stance has forced upon him. Each
mortal has his Carcassonne." Happy

Williams, can realize the dream
