In her petition Mrs McGrew says
that for six months she stood the

instead of becoming less the kisses

She AYERS that while her husband

things have gone to the bad.

The Editor of The New York World
Departs With Sixteen Servants.
Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the
New York World, takes up his per-
manent residence in Berlin. The
Germans welcome him with gusto in
contrast to the fiocking of rich Amer
leans to Paris or London. He goes
to the German capitol with 16 SER
wants and will live in a most fash
ionable part of the town, having
made for himself the most remark
able career of any immigrant from
Prussia into the United States, The
proportions of it are best seen in the
undoubted fact that as unofficial am
bassador from the United States Mr..
Pulitzer may easily do much to keep
serene, substantial relations of har-
mony between the United States and
the great military powers of Europe.
1t is not only possible. 1t is extreme
ly we'll worth keeping in mind.

Upon this basis men are not made normal pupets nor are they forced into agnosticisms or un- belief. They discover their spiP- itual estates and become convinc. ed of the reality of God and im- ortality by their own original drinking.
 Third--God does not act as boss, nor would lie serve in that capacity if elected. He treats hu- manity as a democracy. God Him. se,f is a Democrat and does ask men to bow and scrape to Him nor to keep Him in the public eye as would be the case of a proud, boastful, self-centered be- ing. God lives with us in modest companionship helpful ways just as true father does with his chi.dreni God leaves it with His children to define Him and to build churches on their own mo- tlon out of love for him.
 God is doing wonders in the word but He is doing it by get ting his children to cooperate with Him, and to build republics which reflect the republic of heaven and the democracy of God Himself. God is Modest God is Love.

the race thought that numerous deities ruled the world, some wra thful and some loving, some jealous and hateful and others generous and good. Later this thought was applied to one God, so that He was spoken of as the God of wrath and the God of love the God of justice and the God of mercy. The belief being that there was a conflict between justice and love Under this view God has been looked upon as a king, as a monarch, as a self cen tered being. But I want to say that God is not self-centered. affirm that God is modest and offer the following reasons in support of this contention:
 First-God has placed every thing in the world under a state of growth or under the law of ev olution which means that life is still in the making. This affords humanity the opportunity to take part in the making of ever thing. We are cooperating with God in the physical, intellectual and moral development of the hu- man race as we are ih the per fecting of the material universe. By the arts and sciences man is carrying nature forward to a higher plane. A self centered be- ing would not permit initiative and invention on the part of oth- CTS. God therefore, is not self centered for he delights in the works and achievements of men. God is modest and divides with His children
 Second-God has paced us in situation which make us educate ourse.y yeS. This is what every true teacher does. He seeks to have students do their own thinking and so.ve their own problems An egotist paradeS his know edge and his eXp.ana tions. Not so with God He is modest When we find

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on awhile-after It's inherent
tendency to crack and peel and scale
and blister, etc, has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.
A little knowledge Of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure OF the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou.
BILE, and save the big extra expense Of
re-painting; just as a proper knowl.
edge Of simple health-lT VS., and oh.
servanCe of them, prevents sickness.

Chief Justice That's All.

There are very few people who
know the present designation OF the
man who presides over the supreme
court" said Secretary Of the Senate
Charles G. Bennett. Generally he is
referred to as the chief justice Of the
United States supreme court. In fact
he is the chief justice. That's his Off
cial title. Most Of our presidents In
nominating men for this Office have
fallen into the error of giving him the
long title. When George Washington
nominated Oliver Ellsworth OF Con-
nectfcut for this post he described it
as chief justice Of the supreme court
of the United States. Andrew Jack.
son made the same error in nominal
ing Richard B. fancy. So did Abra-
ham Lincoln when he appointed
Salmon p. Chase. Grover Cleveland
was the first president to give the cor.
rect designation. When he appoint
ed Melville w. Fuller he nominated
him TO be chief justice and nothing
else. Future nominations will be
framed In this fashion"

Water Wass and Peace.

The use of common water ways has
always proven a prolific Of In
ternational wrangling. The joint
navigation OF such waters, the joint
control of water power. the regulation
of fishing rights and the determine.
ton of the use of water In navigable
streams having their rise In n 1ur.
ssdiction and their outflow In another
have led to interminable dispute.
Later inventions, especially tks use
of water power for the development
of electrical energy, have only served
to the possibilities Of disgen-
sion. There has been a continuous
unsettled water ways debate between
the United States and Great Britain
from the time of the colonies. II is
therefore of most happy augury for
the future that a treaty has been sue

RsiNTERREp AT SYCAMORE HILL.
Body of White House Pet 10 Removed
from Washington.

To change the resting place OF some
famous man of bygone days is no I'M
usual occurrence, but it has remained
for President Roosevelt TO introduce q
novelty in the way Of disinterment
and removal. Jack, the b~lack-and-tan
pet of Mrs. Roosevelt, which was
buried in the White House grounds
three years ago., now lies under the
sod at Sycamore Hill, the presidents
summer home at Oyster Bay.
Three years ago the members of the
presidents family gathered about the
large tree that stands near the south
portico of the executive mansion and
witnessed the funeral held over the
remains of Jack.
The body of the dog was laid IN a
special casket, and after it had been
lowered in the grave a small lilac bush
was planted to mark the resting place
of the White House pet. Three iron
pickets were placed about the grave
to keep visitors from walking over it.
Now all these have gone, and the little
casket, containing the remains of
Jack, and the small lilac bush are to
be found at Sycamore Hill, alongside
of the grave of Skip, another Roose-
welt dog.
Jack was slightly larger than the
ordinary black and tan, and was a
most intelligent dog. Kermit and
Archie were Jacks instructors, and
under their tutelage he learned many
parlor tricks. Occasionally the presi-
dent himself would take a hand in the
education of the dog, whose perform
ances were at times most amusing.
He could play dead dog" with the
dramatic effect of a Salvini and come
to life at the word police" as quickly
as any tramp ever impersonated on
the vaudeville stage.

1t might truly have been styled a
military dinner, for, aside from the
host and hostess and three young So
ciety buds, the entire party was made
up OF army officers and their wives.
After the coffee had been served the
stories Of army life began.
Col. Hapgood had told Of the stir
ring times in the memorable cam
paign with Custer; Maj. Hinton, with
his usual %gallantry, had declared what
a blessing III were to a soldiers
life; while ofthe younger division, Lieut..
Savage, true to his branch of the serv-
ice, let out the secret Of how the in
fantry officers had, the year previous,
outwitted their brethren Of the cav
airy at the Christmas ball. Col. Kel-
Ter was one of those o~ld-school officers
who never fiinched when duty called,
whether it was on the field Of battle
or in the social arena; and his sum
mons found him alert to respond.

Point. He arrives on the full tide of
his glory, and is harder to break in
than an Indian pony; although 1 say
that, with a few exceptions, these
same raw recruits, after a couple of
years training, turn out to be good
officers and an honor to the service.
Lieut.. Dorsey-for reasons that will
appear later, l have withheld his real
name-was an exception to the rank
and file of these youngsters, inasmuch
he was both popular and a good
officer from the day he Joined US. He
was also a thorough gentleman, and it
was not a month before he was the
favorite Of the fort; petted by the
ladies, and admired and looked up to
by the men. Strange to say, his head
