"MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY"
Bill In Congress to Declare Eugene

Representative Gardner of Massa

Prince. Mr.. Gardner offered joint
resolution declaring him an American
citizen.
George Henry Prince, grandfather of
Eugene and an American, married an
Englishwoman. His fifth child. John
Henry Prince, was born in st. Peters
burg and still resides there as the rep

he cannot be recognized as an Ameri-
can citizen, inasmuch as his father new.

er hand. under the Russian law he can.
not be recognized as a subject Of the
ear. He therefore has no standing
in the eyes OF any government in the
world.

COULDN'T PLEASE Her.
The Woman Whose Husband Never
tlad the Right Change.

A prominent broker remarked the
other day that he thought his wife was
the hardest woman to please in the
wide world. She was always asking
him for money when he was home
John she would say. give NE A
cents. The grocery boy is here with a
bill" 81 can't give you Al cents" he
would reply. but here's half dollar"
"Oh, you're the funniest man: you
never have the right change" A dozen
times day she would ask for a few
ode pennies.
Finally the broker went into the
subtreasury and obtained 500 worth
of bright new pennies. There were
10000 pennies. and he packed them in
a suit case and logged them home
Then be went to q blacksmith shop
and he'd an iron tripod made. and upon
this he hung the suit case filed with
pennies.
The next day the butcher came with
his bill. 1t amounted to $5G7. John,
said the wife. give me $J.G1.' you
will find it on the tripod" he explain
ed. The wife returned in Il moment
in great rage. why, John" she
cried, I'm not going to count out 5Gl
pennies for this man! I'd be ashamed
It's Il wonder you can never have the
right change. New York Herald.

SLEEPERS ARE WELCOME !
AT CAMBRIDGE CHURCH.
Pastor Says They Are Harmless and
Don't Criticise Sermon.

Sleeping men are welcome at Union
Congregational church. Cambridge.
Mass. of which the Rev. Allan 4.
Stockdale is pastor. DR.. Stockdale says:
at isn't because men are afraid they
will go to sleep in church that so many
Of them do not attend. but they hate
to be nudSed by their wives and are
afraid Of the consequences after they
get home.
LET them go to sleep if they want
to. They are harmless when they are
asleep. DO not poke or nudge or pinch
them. Sleeping men in the pews when
l am preaching do not worry me at all.
On the other hand, they often cause me
pleasure. The sleeping man can't find
anything to complain about in my SER
mon or write indignant letters to me
afterward.
There are many reasons why men
go to sleep. Many Of them have been
hustling during the week, and when
they come into warm church and
restful pews they can't avoid sleeping.
Heavy air and heavy sermons are also
responsible. The music is soothing
too. Let the man fall asleep. The
rest will do him good perhaps"

&. A. THAYER HAS A
JOB LIKE SHUSTER'S
Sent TO Nicaragua to Straighten Out
Her Finances.

A step far in advance of anything
that this government has yet under
taken in the way of tinnn"ial SPONSOR
ship has been taken IN the recon-
mendntion by the state department
Nnd the appointment by the Nicara-
guam government of Edwin y. Thayer
of indianapolis. for the last ten years
connected with the Porto Rico customs
service, as collector of internal reve-
nue. in Nicaragua. This has been done
because the Nicaraguan government
has defaulted on the interest of the
$1.5OO,000 temporary loan which was
made by New York bankers to tide
over the interval until the principal
loan of S15,OOOOOO could be arranged
and carried out. The treaty authoriz-
ing these negotiations has not yet been
ratified by the United States senate.
The appointment of Mr. Thayer Is
similar to that of w. Morgan Shuster
to take charge Of the fiscal affairs of
Persia, an arrangement which has re-
suited so disastrously to the prestige
of the United States in near eastern
affairs because of the dissent of Rus
STA and Great Britain. 1t Is not to be
believed that the arrangement put in
operation in Nicaragua will turn ont
so badly. as we have better means OF
commanding respect for our kindly Of
fees in Central America than we have
in the interior of Asia
Mr.. Thayer's appointment follows
that of Colonel Ham of Iowa last sum-
mer to supervise the general customs
service of Nicaragua.

Hicl, Quality Tea.

A verdict in favor of high quality tea
as harmless drink is given by the
London Lancet. 1t is pointed out that
when caffeine and tannin are in state
of combination the harmful astrin
gent qualities of the tannin disappear
and the bitter taste of free caffeine is
not perceptibe. Teas of high quality
yield. as rule, simple infusion of
caffeine tannate. not of caffeine or of
and such teas must be regard
ed as the most desirable from Il phys
biological point of view. Excessive in
fusion. it is stated. will spoil Il good
tea. but even Il short infusion of a
bad tea may be as Objectionable as an
excessive infusion of good tea. On
grounds. therefore. the
consumer of high quality teas runs
less risk of digestive disturbances pro
vided the tea is made properly.

60 VOTES FOR ARBITRATION.
Friendly Senators Predict Majority.
Amendments Likely.

A quiet canvass was made OF the
senate by the friends of the arbitration
treaties. Senator Burton Of Ohio. who
supported the treaties in the original
form and signed Il minority report in
favor of their ratification without
amendment, expressed confidence that
the necessary two-thirds vote would be
secured for their ratification, but adj
mitted that everything pointed to a
long debate He said it would not be
surprising if the debate extended over
two months
The friends of ratification believe
they can see sixty votes already, and
this is safe number in their estima-
ton. 1t is already certain that the
treaties cannot go through unamended.
Democratic members Of the foreign
relations committee other than Senator
Rayner of Maryland. who is in favor of
ratification in the form in which the
treaties were negotiated. believe that
if the treaties are ratified their char
acter will be completely changed.

Colonel Roosevelt now sits behind
the steering wheel Of his automobile.
Residents of Oyster Bay on several
occasions recently have seen him driv-
ing through the town with his hand
on the wheel.
The sight was surprising, because
Colonel Roosevelt's love of the horse
and aversion to automobiles were we'll
known. But he found an automobile
indispensable when he began to make
regular trips between Oyster Bay and
New York. Gradually he picked up
information about the mechanism of
the car, but 1t was only recently that
he began to drive 1t. The colonel still
prefers the horse. however, and when
he is at home takes daily horseback
rides.
AS a concession to the automobile
Colonel Roosevelt recently built a
broad macadam road from his home
on the hill to the public highway.
