We had one charming experience
not given many tourists who are do

was an invitation to a real old French

were an American artist and wife who
had lived in Paris about fifteen years.
We were met at the station by a
quaint old peasant and carriage as
quaint and as old as himself. After
driving through several miles of
golden grain studded with brilliant red
peoples and blue corn flowers. we
came to a one-street village winding
around high stone wall and entered
Immediately the atmosphere of the age
of chiyalry. The high stone wall was
more trustful than in by-gone days,
for the heavy iron gate stood always
open. We drove into a garden court
shaded by tall chestnut trees. A great
hall opened with French doors into
the court. Our hosts came out to
greet US and we're such warm-hearted,
charming Americans that they made
these days some of the happiest Of our

A Hold--Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
zion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
If Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which Is 1.-THE most monstrous I'M
position inthe history of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggerstion about this
ItstemenE 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
IA TIE United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent Of Brazil and financed ny it, which COM.
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this Is that the CONSUME
srs Of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States Those taxes
we're denounced IS an imposition upon the people;
rs taxing the pc5r mans breakfast table, and the
ike. The taies were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brszil imposed an export duty upons
.offee up TO Il full amount Of the former customs
aaxes in this country. The revenue which for
nerly went ito the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued TO cost him the
name old lrice.
But this was only the commencement. The
%'valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
Ioses takes all Of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the Market thus
ieeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
r,uch higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest of the world. We are the
hest customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
fiely for tho purpose, to compel American con- :
samers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee

It would be instructive as we'll
as entertaining if statisticians could
tell us about the careers of boys
who ran away to sea. Probably
most boys of fifteen who have read
the novels of Captain Marryat,
James Fenimore Cooper and May
ne Reid, and becomes imbued with
a love of travel and adventure,
have had an overwhelming desire
to leave the comforts of their
homes for what seemed to them
chance to follow in the footsteps
of their favorite hero-Jack Hank
away or Midshipman Easy. One
advantage to the young man who
gets out into the world at an early
age is the acquiring of a proper
perspective of the world and the
true place he occupies in it.
A certain friend of mine made
up his mind to do Europe as he
had read others had done on less

THE recent attack on the life Of
Colonel Roosevelt was not altogeth-
er unexpected. Predictions of such
an occurrence were made from the
beginning of the campaign. The
attempted assassination is nothing
more than the natural sequence of
the animosity stirred up and fostered
by newspapers in their bitter and
unreasonable attacks on him. The
fact that the assassin's bullet failed
in its purpose, is the only thing that
saved many newspaper man and
public speaker from becoming a
murderer.
Without realizing it, perhaps, the
majority of American people have
come to think of Col. Roosevelt as
the type of all We revere in our ma
tional life, and the blow which fell
upon US last week has raised more
intense feeling of personal wrong
than has swept the country since
