The Roosevelt Idea.

A writer in the London Times says
that Theodore Roosevelt is the hero Of
every schoolboy in the United King
dom. No other American except Lin
coin has ever been looked up to by so
many youths and young men as an
inspiration and as civic model as
Mr.. Roosevelt. He has a genius for
inspiring people to higher ideals, to
cleaner methods. His life story is one
Of the greatest sermons that has been
preached on the American continent since
Lincoln was assassinated. Mr.. Roose-
Welt started out with the stern resolve
that, let come what would, whether he
succeeded or failed, whether he made
friends or enemies, he would keep his
record clean; he would not take
chances with his good name, he would
part with everything else first; he
would never gamble with his reputa-
ton. He has had numerous opportuni-
ties to make great deal Of money dur
ing his public career, through graft and
ali sorts of dishonorable schemes. by
allying himself with crooked, unscrupu-
lous politicians. but even his worst enc
mics can never say of him that he took
from Albany or the White House a
dishonest dollar. He has always re-
fused to be party to any political
jobbery, any underhand business. He
has always fought in the open. has
kept the door Of his heart wide open !;

lean people. He has always preferred
to lose any position he was seeking, If
he must get smirched in getting 1t. He
would not touch an office or preferment
unles it came to him clean, with no
trace of jobbery on it-Success Maya

Not every cook knows that all veg
etables that grow under the ground
should be put to cook In cold water.
This includes potatoes, turnips, carrots
and onions. Those that grow on top
the ground, such as beans, peas, spin
ach and corn, should have boiling
water poured over them. If left IN
covered they will retain their fresh,
green look.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
long-mooted canal across Cape Cod is
now in process of construction, a prop
osition is to be laid before Congress
for the construction of a canal to con-
meet Boston harbor with Narragansett
bay by way of the Taunton river, the
Town river. and the Salisbury plain riv
er. 1t is estimated that the canal, which
will be forty-one miles long between
depths of twenty-five feet in Boston
harbor and Taunton river, and a little
over thirty-eight miles between depths
of fourteen feet at both ends. But the
efficiency of the canal will depend not
upon the depths at the ends but upon
the depth of the shallowest reaches of
the waterway. If this depth is any
less than twelve or fourteen feet, the
canal would hardly be worth while. as
traffic would seek the Cape Cod canal
route or the route around the Cape. 1t
is estimated that it would cost $12,0O0,-

sensational trial occurred in the may
or's court here to-day when John E.
Fawler. c. M. Faircloth, B. H. Crum-
pier. Jere Mathis and Frank Tur-
lington were tried for an assault on
Rev. G. M. Fomby. From the facts
that came out in the trial they were
about as follows: Mrs John E. Lu-
ten, Of Perry, Fla, recently had the
peculiar experience, SO she testified,
OF having won her children from her
husband in divorce suit at her
home and then having Florida JUS
tice OF the peace award their custody
to Rev. G. M. Fomby to take to the
rescue home for fallen women that
he was conducting. Mrs. Luten heard
he was in Clinton and came here to
see about her children. Rev. Fomby
had not arrived. When he came he
was met by large crowd at the de-
pot. and Mrs. Luten demanded to
know where her children were, only
to be told that 1t was none of her
business. She did not take kindly to
that suggestion, and asked Mrs
Fomby where they were. Mrs. Fom-
by called her an insulting name and
said she was not fit to know where
they were, whereupon some of the de-
PENDANTS tried their fists upon the
anatomy of the Rev. Fomby. He
sought refuge under the train and 4
lively scene was the result One oi
the children is said to be sever
months old and the other one sever
years. The Rev. Mr.. Fomby indict
ed the above-named influential citi
zens, and Mrs. Luten, who was &C
companied by her husband retaliate6
by having Mr.. and Mrs. Fomby put
| under thousand dollar justifiet

requisition papers can be gotten here
from Florida and warrant charging
the Fomby's with the abduction. The
| defendants plead guilty and the may
or fined them each five dollars, excep

costs. Fomby admits placing tn,
children in a 'thome" at Meansviie
Ga, and the mayor of that places
wires he has the children there await
ing their parents coming. Rev
Fomby established a rescue home
near Clinton last fall. the reputation
of which has been of two kinds.
