SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

providence Journal: Whether 1t is
because of a large infusion of Celtic
and Latin blood, or for some other
reason, the American people as
whole are capable of an emotional
excitability quite at odds with the
Anglo Saxon temper they are as
sumed to represent. Their attitude to
either policies or men is apt to be
capricious. No one will deny the ex-
traordinary popularity at the present
moment of Mr.. Roosevelt. Yet the
question is constantly asked, how long
viii 1t last? There were those who
thought that the journey to the Afri-
can wilderness mean the end of his
political influence. Then it was sug-
gested that the rousing welcome he
received in New York, on his return
from his European triumphs, marked
the climax of his career, Now that
he has set the prairie afire the doubt
is expressed If he can hold the centre
of the stage long enough to realize any
ambitions he may cherish for two
years hence. 1t would be dangerous
of a man who has defied so many
presidents. But there is one feature
of the situation today which might
give him grave concern IL he were
not, as was once said of Gladstone
intoxicated with the exuberance of his
own verbosity. That is the undertone
of distrust, not to say apprehension,
concerning his purposes which is OBJ
vious in many of the comments upon
his utIerances.

WOES OF AMBASSADORS WIVES.

Socially Ambitious COuntrymen De-
sire to Shake Hands with Royalty.
The American ambassadors wife is
usually very patriotic, although | am
aware that many people question 1t,
says a writer in the Delineator. She
is proud of the reputation her country
women have established abroad for
cleverness and beauty, and Is willing
to go out of her way to give as many
of them as possible the eclat and eX-
element of going to court.
But, according to etiquette, she can
at each court and these must be ap-
proved by the court chamberlain, while
there are sometimes a hundred appli-
cants. She cannot present woman
who has been divorced or been in any
way connected with a social scandal.
She cannot present the daughter Of
the most influential politician If she is
socially impossible. A politician who
can stalk through the departments at
Washington In a free and easy way
and make every man from the Presi-
dent down feel his Importance, can
sometimes get nothing for his family
from the ambassadors.
A great deal of trouble comes
through the letters of introduction
which the State Department gives to
such men for their wives and daugh-
ters. The men demand them and the
department is not in . position to re-
fuf4, although it is well understood
between the department and the en-
bassy that the letter means nothing.

Until a few years ago some of the
Governors of the different States kept
printed forms which were filled out
upon application to any respectable
person who applied, recommending
them to the courtesy of our foreign
representatives. But these letters were
SO numerous that they became YER
table nuisance and the State Depart
ment ordered them discontinued.

Capital as Blacl.smith shop.

"The old capitol of the State Of
Franklin at Jonesboro, Tenn, is still
standing,7 said p M. Merrill, Of Knox
willie, Tenn, in the Washington Post.
THE one-time capitol of the State Of
Franklin is merely one-story. small,
tumble-down log cabin In bad state
of dilapidation, but many historical
memories of the hardy North Carolina
and Tennessee pioneers cluster around
it.
Few people outside of the imme-
diate neighborhood of East Tennessee
ever, heard of the State of Franklin.
There is very little about it, even in
the larger histories of the United
States. The State of Franklin was
organized by 300 pioneers from North
Carolina about the time of the Revo-
lutionary War, and actually existed for
about four years. John Sewer, cele-
brated pioneer and once Governor of
Tennessee, was the first and only Gov
ernor of Franklin, for North Carolina
sent troops that suppressed the Frank
lin government and cast Governor Sc
vier into Jail, though he was soon re-
leased.
"This is the only instance 1 eve.
heard of where State was established
in this country and afterward abol-
lshed. The ancient capitol of the
State of Franklin was used the last
time 1 saw 1t for a blacksmith shop"

the beet substitute for the insects a

meat, being free from tuberculosis, is

There are three all-important things
to be weighed by the city man who
wishes to return to the farm. The
first Is his wife. If she is in every
sense Of the word helpmate, loves
the country and can give up what she
has been used to in the city for the
sake of the children and the building
of real home, then the prospects are
fairly favorable to begin with. The
second thing to be considered Is your
years and capacity for work; the
third, what, is your capital? II all
these are favorable. don't lose day
in trying to get suitably located, II
any one of these points is doubtful,
deliberate well and move slowly. II
you have fat, bank account. and
wife tied to the fleshpots of the city
you can do nothing in the country;
but, on the other hand, If your wife
be one with you heart and soul, then
capital might at pinch be forgotten.
AS to the second point-that of years
and capacity for work-this is very
important, because so many Of those
who are earnestly desirous of forsak-
Ing the city to-day are well advanced
In years, who think that the country
would afford them an easy means of
earning a living. There is nothing
easy on the farm.

When much food is to be bought
the aim should be to grow so much
coarse fodder that whatever is bought
will be bought in the shape Of fer
tiIizer. The wisdom of doing this
arises from the less cost of transport
ing concentrates because Of the less
hulk which they contain in proportion
TO their nutriment. The fertilizer may
be very prohtably used in growing the
