Repartee.

At a dinner party in London,
at which several distinguished
medical men, including Sir VIM.
Gull, were present, the converse
ton happened to turn upon the
subject ofquackery, and Sir Will
lam expressed his conviction that
certain amount of it was essen
tial to success in practice, ad-
ding: at is an example of the
old saying, 'Populus vult decipi'
people like to be deceived"
"Quite sol" said the host. "Now
can any one present give an Eng
lish equivalent to that?"
Nothing easier!" remarked
the Manchester physician. 1.-THE
public like to be Gulled.''

Looked Suspicious.

A banker in central Kentucky
was in the habit of wearing his
hat a good deal during the bust
ness hours, as in summer the flies
used his bald pate for a parade
ground and in winter the cold
breezes swept over it's polished
surface. A negro workman on
the railroad each week presented
a check and drew his wages, and
one day, as he put his money in
a greasy wallet, the BANKER said:
Look here, Nose, why don't
you let some of that money stay
in the bank and keep an account
with us?"
The darkey leaned toward him,
and, with quizzical look at the
derby the banker wore, answered,
confidentially:
BOSS, Use jes' afeared. You
look Ike you was always ready to
start somewheres."

PardonabIe Curiosity.

The country had never looked
more beautiful. 1t was the hey
day of summer, and the setting
sun glided the roses and glinted
on the tiny panes beneath the old
matched roof.
Little Willie, who was a town
bred boy, and had never before
visited the country, occupied an
old-fashioned stool beside the
farmers wife, marveling at all
around him.
By and by the good lady began
to PLUCK a chicken that was de-
stined for the next days dinner,
and the little boy marveled the
more.
As the feathers came from the
defunct bird and were dropped in
to a basket Willie's attention be-
came more and more fixed, and
his mind began to work freely.
Finally he could stand it no long
er, so he blurted out:
do you take off their clothes
every night, auntie'n

"The people must take the
government out of the hands of
the bosses and the corruption
lists. Public service corporations
must be made of service to the
public. Franchises must not be
given away. The people must
have the right to vote whether
they shall be granted and what
the price shall be-"
AS soon as the doctor came
out as a candidate, his "own
blood" began to campaign with
a roll of money.
The younger Roberts refers to
his fathers candidacy as lone of
the old mans whims!"

Modern Progress.

Kerr Hardie, the English par
Humanitarian, tossed back his
thick white name of hair, strok-
ed his white beard, and said In
broad Scotch accent to a New
York reporter:
The rise in world wages has
been great, but the rise In world
prices has been greater. We
have had progress, but Il has been
progress in the wrong direction.
"A tourist was travelling in
your Far West. AS he inspected
an Indian encampment, he SAID
to his cowboy guide:
And are these Indians pro-
gressing?'
'Betcher life.' the cowboy an
swered, taxing a fresh chew of to-
Ibacco. 'Betcher life they're pro-
crossing. All their medicine men
are patent-medicine men now.''.

The N. Y. Tribune tells of a
man who called on a girl In Fort
Scott recently. The couple talked
soft and low and when the young
man looked at his watch 1t was

From Chicago Evening Post Of June IL.
One year ago today the appeal lay from
an early convention decision of George
Frisbie Hoar, of Massachusetts to Vic
Rosewater of Nebraska. The republican
national convention upheld Rosewater.
Elihu Root was elected temporary chair
man Of the convention by a majority OF
stolen votes. A great historic political
party dishonored itself, and later received
dishonor's reward.
One year ago yesterday Theodore
Roosevelt mad a speech in the audtto-

ago to saw the republican party from
destruction by doing right, and yet right

all of Californ1a's delegates, chosen to
vote for Theodore Roosevelt for the presi-
dency, were entitled to seats In the con
yention. They knew that Washington's
delegation was entitled to place and pref
erence. They knew that other delegates

Wits Versus Convictions.
From the Outlook.

In the first chapter OF his autobiography
Mr.. Roosevelt criticised, very directly, the
almost universal custom of making inter-
collegiate debating a contest of wits Tath-
er than convictions. He said in part:
Personally I have not the slightest SYM
pathy with debating contests In which
each side Is arbitrarily assigned a given
proposition and told to maintain 1t with
out the least reference to whether those
maintaining 1t believe in 1t or not. The
present method of carrying on debates en-
courages precisely the wrong attitude
among those who take part in them. There
ity OF conviction. On the contrary, the
net result is to make the contestants feel
that their convictions have nothing to do
with their arguments. 1 am exceedingly
glad that 1 did not take part In the type
Of debate in which stress is laid, not upon
getting a speaker to think rightly. but on
which he Is assigned, without regard eth
err to what his convictions are or to what
they ought to be-"
This statement has aroused no little dis
cussion in academic circles. The Harvard
Alumni Bulletin somewhat naively in
quires: Us there something in Colonel
Ro%osevelt's contention?" That there cer-
tainly Is a letter published In that journal
| goes far to show. Mr.. Hans Won Kalten-
born writes of his experience as a de-
batter:
| thinking, talking, and believing that fed
eral Incorporation is about the most unsat-
isfactory solution of the trust problem.
I was sent to Princeton to argue for fed
| eral Incorporation. The insincerity INK
artifciality of my speech was as apparent
to the judges as it was to myself, and we
lost the debate largely because my speech
| failed to carry conviction. Moreover, I
have never ceased feeling thoroughly
ashamed for having yielded to the persua-
sion of the debate managers. Throughout
the trials, which extended over a period
of several weeks, and in the course or
which I spoke as / believed, points and
illustrations suggested themselves spon-
~taneously. In reading, my mind grasI>ed
quickly and eagerly everything that bore
on my contentious. Having made the
team for three weeks-the most ar
duous and unpleasant weeks OF my coll
lege career-I struggled to change my be-
lief and to arInor myself against 1T with
an Increasing array Of proof Again and
again the kindly coach, who was giving
up his time to a hopeless cause, shook his
head and suggested that I was not doing
as well as at the trials. 1 knew it and
couldn't help it. When the day came l

dence. 1 came out feeling bitter and SICK
