Wednesday morning Mr.. Dougherty in
vited John Fisher and two other friends
TO visit Charleston and go hunting with
him. The three Atlantians reached
Charleston on the early morning train
and the party of four at once went into

The shot which injured Dougherty came
from the double-barrel shotgun in the
hands OF John Fisher. Fisher was endeav-
IL 49,
when it suddenly and entirely unexpected

the trigger caught i'm his clothing as he
attempted to raise the gun.
Immediately after the accident all pos
sible haste was made TO remove the in
jured man TO his home, where he could
secure medical attention. The hunters
hailed a wagon, which happened to be
passing the scene of the shooting, and in
this vehicle took Mr.. Dougherty to his

Quiet Roosevelt Is
Shown in This Bust

WASHINGTON, March 10.-A marble
bust of Theodore Roosevelt as vice
president reached Washington today for
installation in a niche in the senate
chamber. The placing Of the bust in
this conspicuous place will necessitate
the removal to one Of the empty inches

when the bust of former Vice President
Fairbanks was received year ago.
The Roosevelt bust is the work OF

Running for Trains.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Two deaths of prominent men in one
day under the wheels of moving trains
ought to carry a warning to every man
or boy who. arriving late at a station,
runs to catch a car. If one is in a hurry
to reach his destination the temptation is
great to take chances if he is behind
time. 1t is dangerous-always dangerous.
The slightest accident, the Slipping of a
foot, and all is over. There are q great
many suburban stations in the neighbor-
hood of Philadelphia, and there are nu-
merous instances every day where per-
sons run to board a train that is Just
moving out. Many a time the foot is
steady, the eye Is sure and the hand
grasp IS secure. but there comes a day
when something goes wrong and the
newspapers record the death of another
victim. The railways take every possible
precautiCn. At the terminals the big iron
gates close upon late passenger and
there is no opportunity tor him to .ace
down the platform. But at suburban
stations such safeguards are not always
practical. Bridges are frequently built
over the rails to prevent any one from
crossing them at grade The roads do
their best to prevent accident in every
way possible But il a passenger once
gains a station platform there is usually
no way to hinder him from running after
a. departing train and boarding it If he
can.

Political Life in Washington.

Mr. Clark of Missouri has been talking
to the home folks about the effect that
Washington life has had on him. He
considers that he Is a better man be-
cause of his experience here. Undoubted-
~. Better. and, he might have added,
brighter He has prof1ted both spiritually
and intellectually.
II stands to reason. In his sixteen
years in Congress he has been associated
intimately with many of the ablest men
in the country. Among senators and rep
resentatives he has met many politicians
and lawyers Of the highest grade in
American affairs. He has conferred with
them, and seen them in action. His own
intellectuals. therefore, have necessarily
been sharpened. The ability he brought
with him has been developed on broad
lines under strong pressure. The Ozark
politician has improved his opportunities
to become a national politician. He has
advanced from an inconspicuous place in
the ranks of his party in the House to
its leader there. A broader and brighter
man he unquestionably is.
He has as necessarily gained spiritu-
ally. Bringing a good character with him.
he has had no trouble to keep 1t; and
having the country's welfare constantly
presented to him in the business of the
House he has grown under the influence
81 big things and of patriotism. The
man who loves the country with but
limited understanding of it's policies and
purposes loves 1t all the more after
studying. as q national lawmaker must
study. its size and possibilities and place
among the nations.
This Is contrary to an opinion loudly
proclaimed, and. to the discredit of the
country. often accepted. There are men
and newspapers given to describing polit-
ical life in Washington as demoralizing
in the extreme, and to be avoided by
those who can find tasks elsewhere. The
town Is described as infested with job
bers and robbers, pushing rascally
schemes Of every kind, and making es-
pecial play for members Of Congress. 1t
takes . very strong man, 1t is asserted. to
resist the temptations. Many succumb.
ana date their downfall from the day
they gave up q good law practice or
profitable business at home to serve

Voting Not All.
From the Providence Bulletin.

A suffragette argues that inasmuch
as it takes only few moments once in
a while to go to the polls and vote there
should be no fear that the ballot
for women will seriously interfere with
domestic occupations. But, manifestly
this is not all of it. The real stress of
participation in public affairs is en-
tirely overlooked, as illustrated in the
circumstance that many men are COM

Considered as a business proposition.
there are two points of view regarding
this matter of royal expenses. On the one
hand, II may be said that the mainte-
nance of a large and lavish establishment
weighs heavily upon the poor. But as
Mr.. Balfour, leader OF the opposition,
said. in supporting the proposals Of the
ministry. the cost of the crown bears an
incomparably small ratio to the wealth
of the nation. The amount that could
be saved by pairing the unnecessary royal
expenses to the limit of rigid need would
not relieve the common people of Eng
land in the least appreciable degree of
their present troubles. 1t is only by
playing the monarchical game according
to the rules that England. while remain

tremendous Notwithstanding change.
