PRESIDENT pwELIS ON
SELF-SACRIFICE LESSON

President Tafts address dwelt upon
the lessons OF self-sacri1ce and duty
which may be learned from the death
Of the Names sailorsA He said:
We meet to pay appropriate honor to
the memory Of the first Of the country's
sons who gave up their lives In our war
with Spain. ! do not mean by this TO
charge responsibility to the Spanish gov
ernment for the explosion Of the Maine.
but that the tragedy was part Of the
causes which led up to. the Spanish war
no one familiar with the circumstances
can now doubt. That war every Ameri-
can can feel proud of. because II was
fought without a single selfish instinct
and was prompted by the most aItruistic
motives. Beginning with a self-denying
ordinance with respect to Cuba. We were
forced into the attitude Of taking over
the Philippines, and our course in those
islands has reflected the highest credit
on our purposes and civilization.
These, our honored dead were hurled
into eternity without the inspiration of
anticipated battle or hoped-for victory.
But they were on duty when they went
down; they wore the uniform Of their
beloved country, and they are to be
classed well to the fore in that long list
of naval heroes whose steadfastness and
the high position 1t occupies in history
among the navies OF the world.
Pause to Pay Homage.
'Tt is well that We should halt tie
wheels Of government and stay the hum
- industry to take time to note by ap-
propriate ceremony the debt we owe TO
those who gave up their lives for the
nation. We raised the ship from the mud
bottom OF Havana Harbor and gave her
remains honorable burial In the blue
waves OF the ocean. We now consign TO
the sacred soil OF Arlington the recovered
bones of those who gave the Maine her

Col. Roosevelt Shot.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt was shot
and slightly wounded by a man
apparently insane in Milwaukee.
Wis.,, Monday night as he was leav-
ing the Fitzpatrick hotel for the
Auditorium to make a speech. The
colonel went on to the hall and
began his speech after he had seen
his assailant arrested and taken to
the police station.
Col. Roosevelt's life probably was
saved by manuscript of the speech
which he delivered last night. The
bullet struck the manuscript, which
retarded its force as it passed
through into the flesh.
The would be assassin was John
Schrank, native Of Bavaria, recently
resident of New York city. who had
followed Colonel Roosevelt about the
country to kill him. He is believed
to be insane. The man was quickly
overpowered after the shooting and
was with difficulty saved from being
lynched.
Schrenk admitted firing the shot
declaring that ANY man looking foi
a third term ought to be shot" In
notes found in the mans pockets al
the police station were statements
that the man had been visited in 0
dream by the spirit of William Nc
Kinley, who had said. indicating
Col Roosevelt. This is my muir
derer, avenge my death"
Colonel Roosevelt was taken to a
Chicago hospital Monday night. The
surgeons may not probe for the
bullet for several days On Wednes-
day his condition had improved
The bullet lies. as revealed by the
x-ray, not far from the breastbone on
the right side and probably five
inches below the collarbone The
missile did not get inside the ribs
but ploughed upward and inward
for distance of some five inches
from where it entered.

GRAssHoPPER AND THE ANT
Being the Modern Version Of an Old
Fable That 10 Familiar to
Every Reader.

A Grasshopper had spent her
summer In d merry whirl of gaiety.
and when winter came she was near
~ perishing with cold and hunger.
She went to a community of Ants
who lived near by and asked them
for the loan Of food and shelter to
tide her over until the following
summer.
"What have you been doing all
summerPv asked the Ants, who did
not believe in indiscriminate charity.
II have been singing and dane
ing" she replied.
They were about to send her away
in scorn when the son of one of the
millionaire Ants stepped forward
and said: ssDo you say you have been
singing and dancingp Let's see what
you can do"
Thereupon the Grasshopper, hav-
ing had splendid training, sang mel-
lifiuously and danced divinely.
Good for you, little one," said
the son Of the Millionaire Ant.
Thereupon they eloped to the balmy
sunshine Of the Riviera and lived
unhappily ever after.-Life.
