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 rs
Mr.. Roosevelt. He has 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. lie has had numerous opportuni-
ties to make great deal Of money dur
ing his public career, through graft and
all sorts Of dishonorable schemes, by
allyng himself with crooked, unscrupu-
lous politicians but even bis worst enc
mics can never say Of him that he tool,
from Albany or the White House n

fused to be party to any political
iobbery, any underhand business. He

meal the latter asked his grace: "Do

to reply, and seeing his hesitation the

without relaxing muscle of his face
he propounded another conundrum.

ESKIMO SUPERIORITY.

~~NO~~oN~~O

Nilhjalmar Stefansson, In writing of
his thirteen months stay among the
Eskimos, tells, in Harper's Magazine,
Of this great kindness to Il guest who
could not pay for his keep, a stranger
whose purpose among them they did
not know.
In an Eskimo home l have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child

are carried on in an orderly way, and
the good behavior of the children is re-

Of the Eskimo; in a few we are his in

superiority the moral value is great.
He has developed individual equality

STOP WASTE OF DAYLIGHT.
What the Proposition Made to the
British Commons Means.

Few movements have spread so rad
idly In a short time as the agitation
In favor of the daylight bill. A select
committee Of the House of Commons
reported in favor Of the measure last
year, and its supporters will make a
supreme effort this session to pass it
into law. The bill aims at preventing
the terrible waste Of daylight" which
goes on at the present time, says Lon
don correspondent of the ST. Louis
obe-Democrat.
According to Mr.. Willett, T. II. 4. s.,
the scheme consists Of putting forward
the fingers of clocks twenty minutes on
each Of four Sundays in April and Of
putting them back twenty minutes on
each Of four Sundays in September
That is to say, 1t proposes to substitute
for eight Sundays of twenty-four hours
each four Sundays in April which shall
be less than twentyfour hours and
four Sundays in September which shall
be more than twenty-four hours. Moth
ing is lost but the gain is substantial
1t means that the man who now leaves
off work at 5 p. m. will take with him
home the light we now have at 3 40 :
he who leaves off at o'clock will take
with him the light we now have at
4 40, and SO on To workingmen who
leave off work on Saturdays the advan-
tage to be gained is most striking
Those whose half-holiday commences at
II or ! or > o'clock will have at their
disposal as much daylight as If it com
menced at 40, II 40 or II 80 re-
spectiyely.
What this means at the end Of the
year is somewhat impressive. 1t means
an annual gain of 2l0 hours of useful
daylight equivalent to twenty one
days OF ten hours EACH every year To
succeeding generations the change IS no
less important. On reaching the age
of % (without counting anything Of
six years of CHILDHOOD u man will
have gained whole year Of daylight.
At so he will have gained two years.

feet OF these additional years of day

The hotel was a three-story frame

at least four jumped to safety into the

after 3 o'clock, Night Clerk Arthur
