Roosevelt Wins Libel Suit.

Theodore Roosevelt has won his vim

drunkard, never has been a drunkard,
never has been even slightly under the
influence Of liquor, and that he is as
abstemious as a man may be and still

against George A. hewitt, Ishpeming,

Then Col Roosevelt, unwilling to as

and declared he had achieved his object,

HIS WELL LAID PLOT
Young Doctor Cures Patient of
HaIIuCinatlon While Win

BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.

Mrs. Susan Roberts was a chronic
invalid She knew it herself. She
had influenced the more impressible
of her friends with the conviction.
AS to her devoted but unfortunate
husband, whatever his opinion he
fully realized that she was making
home life about as wretched and I'M
inviting as il could well be
What had started well and healthy
Mrs. Roberts on the downward road
TO despair and dissolution, was the
visit to the town of a quack. This
irresponsible individual scattered a
pamphlet describing his nostrums and
dwelling gravely upon the dangers of
wasting away" Just at that time
Mrs. Roberts had lost ten pounds 1t
was warm weather that had reduced
her flesh, and when she began to wor.
ry over her fancied ailments she lost
ten more.
Young DR.. Allen was called in. AT
the outset he told his patient that
there was nothing in the world the
matter with her. 1t was of no avail
She adopted all the languor and self
pity OF confirmed invalid. She
mourned over the ultimate bereave
ment Of her husband.
III Lucy Day was only married off,
she was won to say lugubriously,

from a sense of duty done"
Dear Lucy the saving grace OF the

HAD TO RELY ON HIMSELF
None Supported the Young Man Who
Proved He Lacked Self
Reliance.

There was once a young man who
felt that he needed help. When he
was poor in spirit and saw that he
must needs prove himself he COM
forted himself by saying: This is
my own town and here are my neigh
bors and acquaintance. Their good
will must bear me up"
And he leaned on them, but they
were as q broken reed under him.
They did not support him. writes Mar,

my best friend, who is very pow
erful man. Surely he will carry me-
through"
But his best friend gave him only
sympathy and 1t was easy to see that
by the very giving Of that sympathy
doubt was augmented. And the young
man called his best friend a traitor
and left him. for he could not win
his support. And then the young man
said Il will go to those of my own
blood my family, and they will be
my strong stan on which to lean.
Surely they viii not leave me in the

But though his family offered him
much advice and q little money they
did not support him, nor did they en-

think of no one else who would be
likely to help him, he sought out the
Sage Who Never SAUNDERS and told

young man, for he said:

The Wedding Fee.

Wedding fees are graft, says a Chi
cago clergyman, but we hope he did
not really mean il. For the man who
really proposes that wedding fees be
abolished takes very little account of
the self respect of bridegrooms. The
only part of his expense that expresses
the groom's gratitude for what ought
to be the richest gift Of his life is his
little fee to the clergyman who marries
him. i would be wrongiug him to
deny him this opportunity His we'd
ding ought to be about the happiest
event in mans life. 1t is an event
that makes him feel generous, if he
ever has that feeling He knows he is
getting SO much that he can't pay for
that he wants to pay what ne can.
Any man proud of his bride would re
sent being denied the privilege Of max
ing some slight acknowledgment of the
service that is done him by IA man who
has spent years in training for the
position he holds. But the easy custom
of leaving the amount to the groom aft
fords not the slightest cause for objec-
ton, and gives man the opportunity
of saying that great service has been
done him. And the man who doesn t
think so has no business getting mar

Physicians decided that a skin grating

sacrifice which ended in Bowman s
