1t is difficult to keep pace with Mr..
Roosevelts triumphs. Each country
which he visits seems to shout little
louder than the last and to multiply its
honors The proud and naughty Mag

tenn, to Col. Roosevelt's visit upon the
famous Hungarian apostle of freedom,
Francis KosSuth, there wasn't dry eye
in the house, so to speak. Mr.. Roose-
welt has done us proud in his behavior.
He has put flowers on all the graves of
dead-and-gone royalty which he should,
and he hasn't forgotten once to turn
his toes out, bow and give the Roose-
welt smile at the psychological moment.
All Americans have had their eye on
him. and he hasn't slipped up once, un-
less the Egyptian speech could be called
la slip. But we are concerned for him
when he makes that Berlin visit, or for
his pocketbook. rather. for on excellent
authority we are told that to press the
pillows of a lace-decked bed in royal
palace for one night even is a very ex-
pensive piece of business. For, be it
known. you can offer no royal servant
any ordinary tip. These high priced
menialS receive such enormous gratui-
ties from royal and imperial guests.
which arc the only kind that ever make
visits in royal palaces, that, in this case
in question, assuming that all Ameri-
cans are millionaires, these servants of
the Kaiser will look for something truly
handsome from our Colonel. When you
think Of the crowds there must be OF
these bedecked, gorgeous creatures
standing around in Williams palace,
too. sympathy for our distinguished
countryman goes down deep. The same
authority tells us that when Alexander
II of Russia terminated a visit of two
days upon King Edward he left $4,000
to be distributed among the servants of
Buckingham Palace, and the tips of
the Kaiser himself and the King of
Italy, who is not inclined to throw away
money, either, when visiting their royal
friends, amount to as much. Thus does
every silver lining have it's cloud.

Those who cry out against vivisection
must be speechless with horror at the
recent experimenting Of the Philadel-
Dhia doctors with the poor little desti-

several of the cases the tuberculin was

which has so affected the sight that il

the children will probably also suffer In

effects of this experimenting. How such

beyond comprehension. 1t was an act
