Paterson, N. j., May 2S. Theodore
Roosevelt delivered here dhis after
noon the first speech in his campaign
for the national delegates from New
Jersey. He said in part:
I'm its essence this is a very sim
pie fight and yet think it is a fight
of more far-reaching Importance 20
the people of our country than any
that has taken place since the days
of Lincoln, for it is a fight to re-
store and strengthen the simple,
healthy idealism which characterized
the men who, century and quar-.
ter ago, made this union, and the
men who, half a century ago, restored
and perpetuated it.
We have against us in this fight
practically every representative and
beneficiary of the old system Of priv
ilege both in politics ana in business
We have against us practically every
representative of the alliance be-
tween crooked business and crooked
politics.
7 advocate the creation of ma
tionaI bureau whose business it shall
be to investigate protected industry
and see that the protection does real
ly benefit the workmen. we believe
fp workmen's compensation laws, in
laws to secure better conditions IN
tenement houses, laws to prevent wo-
men from working over hours, q
children working at all. We believe
in establishing over all big industrial
enterprises engaged in interstate com
merce a supervision S16iIar to thai
which now obtains over all big busi
ness concerns engaged in interstate
transportation and over nationa

HORACE GKEELEr IS ouTDONE
Joaquin Miller ls Believed to Be the
Worlds Champion at IIIegIble
Writing.

Old-time printers are never tired of
telling weird stories OF the unreadable
handwriting of Horace Greeley. in
modern times it has been said that the
copy" of Mr.. William Winter was a
task to worry even the smartest COM
positors, but it is said that the cham
pion ilIegible writer is Joaquin Miller,
the Poet OF the Sierras." 1t is re-
lated that some time ago the secretary
of we'll known club in San Francis
co wrote to Joaquin Miller, asking him
to take part in some celebration. In
response to the aecretary's letter
came four page letter from the poet
but none In the club could decipher
1t.
There was nothing for it but to
write again to Mr.. Miller stating that
1t could not be determined whether
his letter was an acceptance or a re
fusal, and the secretary added, to
make sure: IF you will be present on
the date mentioned, will you kindly
make a cross on the bottom OF this
letter, and return it? If it win be inn
possible for you to appear, kindly
draw circle"
BY return mail the secretary's letter
was returned to him, and at the bot
tom was the sign as he had been re-
quested.
But 1t was absolutely impossible for
anyone to tell whether the sign was
meant to be cross or a circle.

In some "reminiscences of the late

gallantly defended Kimberley for 12d

One day he was approached by q
private, who asked:
Colonel, when do you expect we
are going to get something to eat?"
"Eatl" exclaimed the colonel. Ibid
you join the army merely to get some
thing to eat?" g 3
"Well, that's about the size OF it,"
replied the soldier. ae
Here" said the colonel, calling an
officer, give this man something to
eat, and then have him shot"
The officer understood the Joke and
replied:
"All right, colonel"
The private. however. exhibited no
alarm, and, turning to the ofIicer.
said:
boil me ham, cap'n, stew up
couple of chickens bake two or three
pounds Of potatoes, fetch a gallon O.
beer and load yer gunsI With such
inducements the man who wouldn't be
willing to die is 8 bIithering idiot"
A hearty meal was prepared for
the soldier and the threatened execu-
tion never came off.-Tit-Bits.
