copy of another letter which lie has
written To Judge Simon T. Baldwin,
democratic nominee for governor OF
Connecticut. regarding labor legisla-

man sued the railroad. You presided
In the appellate court and wrote Its
opinion declaring the Norkmen's fed
eral compensation act under which
Hoxie sued, to be unconstitutional, SO
that he was denied the right to be
compensated for his injury
Section 5 Of the act provides that
any contract, rule regulation or de-
vice whatsoever the purpose or intent
Of which shall be to enable any COM
mon carrier to exempt itself from any
liability created BY this act, shall TO
that extent be void IN your decision

"The idea that Roosevelt contem-
plates an attack upon orr judicial
sytem or that that system is In danger
from him or from anyone else is purely
fanciful and devised for campaign pur-
poses only. What gave Roosevelt the
leadership Of the Saratoga convention?
He had no office; he had no patron
age: he had no money; he could
neither punish nor reward anyone,
and the controlling political organiza-
tion of the republican party was
against him. How did II happen that
majority Of the delegates voted with
him and against the organization? The
answer Is that there was an issue be-
fore the convention In which the peo-
pie OF the state are deeply Interested
Roosevelt espoused the right side Of
that issue against the republican or
ganizatlon and, naturally enough. he
furnished the element Of leadership to
the side he was with. 4 majority Of
| the delegates voted with him because
upon that issue the people who elected
them were with him. The issue was
revolt against The tyranny of the
party machines and party machinery.

Pistols and PoIIteness.

Much of the politeness of the old
time southern gentlemen came, and
still comes, from the same hardness
with the pocket pistol. The same
type of politeness existed in England
before the Puritan reformation. Now.
that reformation regarded superb man
ners as an invention Of the devil, and
this belief strongly affected New Eng
land. but had little effect on the SOUTH
which was less affected In manners
and customs by the reformation than
was France, far less than England. 1t
would have been a good thing for the
south and France If each had got more
Of 1t. None can deny that Washing
ton and Stonewall seemed more Puri-
tanical than Cavalier or Gau1ois In

Precious Mexican Relic.

In the chapel Of a monastery at
Puebla, Mexico, is one Of the most pre-
cious relics of the Spanish conquest
Of America. It Is small wooden
statuette of the Virgin Mary with the
infant Jesus in her arms. Battered
and worm-eaten as it is 1t is dressed
in silks and gold and Jewels and placed
upon the high altar for the veneration
Of the faithful. For 1t was given to
fernando Cortez by the Emperor
Charles w.. and the famous conquista-
dor carried It throughout his career.
The relic at one time saved the life
of Cortez during battle. But for It
Me7ico's history would have been diff
ferent.
One hand has been replaced by a
hand Of silver. This hand was shot
away by a bullet that would other
wise have killed Cortez. He gave the
statue to Acxotecatlec. captain of the
republic OF Tlaxcala, who was his ally.
Ever since his days 1t has remained in
the monastery. but there Is now a
movement to take 1t to the National
museum, where the ravages of time
and worms can be checked.

The "Singing Doa."

In Sammy, handsome collie, Lud-
wig Carlson of Montclair, N. j., pos
sesses a self-educated canine tenor
soloist. Every morning when the bell
on st. Johns Episcopal church. near
the dogs house. begins ringing.
Sammy takes up position not far
from the edifice and begins an accom-
paniment that has none of the dis
cordance of the ordinary canine howl.
It is musical voice which Sammy
blends with the deep notes Of the bell,
and 1t has been observed that the dog
is exactly in tune with the metallic
sounds that come from the church
belfry.
At noon the collie makes tracks for
lumber plant operated by his owner.
Here the dog accompanies the whistle,
which is blown at midday, and here,
too, he always achieves perfect har-
mony. The dog also joins his voice
with the town curfew bell at nine
o'clock at night
Persons who have studied the dogs
performances say that in the begin-
ming his voice was harsh and not at
tuned to the bells or the whistles,
but devotion to practice and love of
harmony have made him an accom-
plished canine vocalist.

REASON FOR LIKING BARBER
Customers Remark That Might Be
Called Considerably More Than
Hint.

The barber was trifle more talka-
tive than usual, and the customer,
having come directly from the den
lists chair, was perhaps hardly in an
affable mood The knight of the ra-
zor opened fire in blissful ignorance
of this, however, and passing glibly
from the weather to foreign politics.
the rival barber opposite, the practical
value Of religion, was just begin
ming to explain in detail his views on
current educational topics, when the
customer suddenly growled: Look
here, where's that assistant of yours
the boy with the red hair?"
"Why, he's left me. sir. We parted
Saturday night-on friendly terms
and all that, you know. sir-but-"
"Umph!" groaned the other. Il liked
that fellow. He was one of the most
sensible takers ever met. l was

Old Industry outstripped.

An instance of the young whale
swallowing the old one Is illustrated
in the jute industry of Dundee and
Calcutta. 1t appears that the Dun
dee jute industry dates from 1888. a
parcel Of 40 tons of jute having been
imported by sailing ship captain in
that year, and in 1855 the first spin
ming machinery was sent from Dundee
to Calcutta, and the first Indian jute
mill was established on land that once
belonged to Warren Hastings Now
there are 3S jute spinning companies
in India, and every day the Indian
mills produce about $500 tons, as
against only about one-third of that
quantity produced in Dundee in a day.

outstripped. and the process T.; still.

Tho Tale Of a Swallow.

Extraordinary facts were brought to
light at a Grimsby (Eng) court. in
claim brought by Mrs. Annie Brown
against Alfred Lawrence. Mrs.
Browns story was that some time ago
she gave defendants daughter. who
was a servant in her employ, SOW
ereign to purchase some goods. Re-
turning soon afterwards. the girl said
that, while holding the coin In her
mouth, she swallowed 1t. Efforts
were made to get the money back
again, without success. Then the
girls mother was informed, and she
had her daughter taken to doctor.
who expressed surprise that the SOW
ereign had not reappeared. AS last
resort the girl was put under the K
rays at the hospital, and as no trace
of the coin could be found 1t was
agreed that the girl should make good
the money by working in her (plain-
tiff's) employ. In this way nine shil-
lings was disposed Of. but as the girl
was afterwards taken away she now
claimed the remainder-11 shillings
The Judge ordered the girl to be sent
back to Mrs. Browns employ until all
the money she had swallowed was
made up.

rhe Artists compensatlon.

Save few business concerns, great
concerns, Harrods, the army and
navy stores and the like, what
strange welter is in our whole system
of payment for work-more especially
in the higher branches of work! Art
and literary work are terrible ex-
amples of this confusion and want OF
science. The payments to many Of
the best workers in those barren
fields are so bad that a man is quite
sanguine If he sees not at the end of
his career the madhouse of the pau
per's grave.
II he paint without genius, a paint
er may, by attracting an ignorant pub
lie, make himself secure If he write
without individuality or real force, the
writer may likewise make himself Sc.
cure by driving hard bargains with
those who buy and sell his wares. But
for the most part, good work in these
branches is the work of sensitive men
who are little children in money mat
tiers and who shrink from bargaining.
Politics and public life and business
make much better game than art or

There Is very small girl In this
town who believes in police persecu-
don: that is to say. she believes that
It exists, though she is anything but

Her home is downtown on the East
side and she goes to one of the kin
dergartens on the upper West side.
The young lady's mother has to
work and SO the four-year-old goes to
kindergarten alone. She starts out
with two nickels tightly held in a
small palm and she's just tall enough
to reach up to the elevated ticket Of
nee to secure her transportation. The
ticket chopper is kind enough to de-
posit her ticket for her. Everyu ing
goes well on the uptown trip because
In the crowd she isn't noticed.
But when she starts home shortly
after noon there is trouble. Every po-
liceman that sees her insists that
she's lost 1t is useless for her to ex-
plain that she knows perfectly well
where she's going; she's too small to
be believed, that's all. Two or three
times week she is bundled off to the
station house in spite of her fearful
protestations. There she produces a
much-f1ngered card on which is the
phone number of a saloon near her
home. The saloonkeeper tells the po-
lice that It's all right. explains the
circumstances, and she Is permitted
to go her way. But she Is getting

looked serious. Something ought to

Two young men came along the
