TIE PICTURE,

The smoke rises DER the vallay
In the crisp c,,tober air,
Where the sun DER all Is shining.
And TO me. It's a picture fair.
From my home UP on the hillside
can see a mountain tall
And between are golden woodlands
Where soon the leaves will fall
There are colors bright and glowing.
Subdued by autumn haze.
In this frandly painted picture
That lies beneath my gaze
rhere are red and brown and golden,
Spread by master hand,
And pine tree stands as sentinel
Ger this eoodly, smiling land.
There are herds of contended cattle
Grazing DER the verdant hills,
And there's health and contentment
waiting
For mankind, IL thus he wills.
This sentinel tall and stately
I have loved and watched so lone-
In winter it's whispered Courage"
In summer it's filled with song.
1t stands for a glorious statehood
Within our valley fair;
And our men and women love it,
To stain 1t let no man dare
Oh We men Of the legislature
AS ye meet from day to day
Be wise Of the laws you frame U.s.
Be careful OF things you say.
For the picture I see from my window
Is repeated near and far,
In tho grand old Champiain valley,
And naught it's beauty must mar.

Colonels Grievances ~ Described BY
Himself and His Friends.
The following is a composite statement
of the Roosevelt account Of the causes
Of the trouble, part coming directly
from the colonel himself. a part from one
or other of his friends familiar with the
facts:
Colonel Roosevelt became aware, i'm
mediately after election. that some sort
OF change had taken place In Mr.. Taft's
mind and attitude. From election day on
70 Inauguration all the trouble arose At
FIRST, Of course. the change In Mr. Taft
as discerned by the then president. was
very slight almost insensible. II would
perhaps be unfair TO designate It as a
case Of 'swelled head but II bordered on
that. There was very early what SEEM
ed determination on the part Of the new
president to map out a course for him
self regardless OF the policies or wishes
OF the president who was retiring.
the FIRST tangible causes Of offence
were relatively trivial things. pin pricks

known as the little White House He

time this now political center somewhat
0vershadowed the actual white House In
public attention. Mr.. Roosevelt did not

lance; II was not a cause OF quarrel; but
in his opinion. frankly expressed at the
time TO q few OF his intimatos. 1t was on
Mr.. Taft's part an unnecessary, tactiess,
in considerate procedure.
SOCIAL GOSSIP PLAYS A PART
About this time there came another
pin prick, peculiarly annoying. Mrs
Roosevelt's management of tho social
and domestic affairs of the White House
had generally been regarded as q model.
There had been no criticism Of II. only
praise. Hence the surprise was great
