 My Dear Mir Roosevelt:
 The senator tPlatO thinks that you should come to New York on Wednes day or ThursdaY The senator says that he is going to make one more ef- fort to induce Governor Black to with draw. All these stories that you may have read about the attempted dick CTS with Black by which, as the price Of his withdrawal. he is to be sent to the senate. are falsehoods. No other consideration at any time suggested to him that that he is not the man for this particular occasion
 And now he CPlatO has made up his mind and is ready to take his position. Perhaps since your interview with him is so shortly to take place. it might be well for me to repeat precisely the re- port I made to him of your attitude on my return from Montauk
 ''I told him that YOU said that you would like to he nominated: that You understood perfectly that if YOU were nominated that it would be as a result of his support; that you are not the sort of man to accept anomination di- rectIH out of the hands of the organi- zation without realizing the obligation thereby assumed to sustain the 0r2ani- zation and to promote and uphold it and that you are perfectly prepared to meet the obligation and to discharge it justly: that if you were governor You would not wish to be anything else than governor: that you would not wish. to be a fgurehead or to accept any position before the public or in your own mind which was not in keep ing with the dignity of the office or which would not allow you to discharge your duties in the light of Your judg- ment and conscience. but that you would take the office intending in good faith to act the part of his friend per sonally and politically"

Mistake i'm Auditors Office Renders
Many Receipts Invalid at Elections.

Columbia, Nov. 22.-Citizens of
Richland county who paid their 1915
taxes between October Is and the
time the books were closed by order Of
the comptroller general, must pay the
extra tax Of l mill before their tax
receipts will be honored in elections at
which tax receipts are required. The
condition resulted from the fact that
Richland county property was levied
against on 6-mill instead Of a z
mill basis for State taxation, the mis-
take occurring in the office of the
county auditor.
Those who paid their 1915 taxes
on a basis of mills and do not later
pay the extra 1 mill levy are sub
ject to having their property levied
against by the sheriff, when the
books are turned over % him next
year. This would entail a series of
extra charges. including fees and
costs of collection.

BLOCKADE AGAINST GREECE.
Havas Athens Correspondent Confirms
the Report.

Paris, Nov. 21.-Havas Athens cor
respondent confirms a report that the
Entente Powers have declared COM
mercial blockade of Greece. An an
nouncement issued by the British le-
cation at Athens is given as follows:
Because OF the attitude taken by
the Hellenic government in regard to
certain questions touching closely the
security and liberty OF action to which
allied troops have the right under the
conditions of their disembarkment on
Greek territory. the allied powers
have deemed 1t necessary to take
certain measures which will have the
effect of suspending the economic and
commercial faculties which Greece has
received from them heretofore.
1T Is not the intention Of the allied
powers to constrain Greece to aban-
don her neutrality, to maintain which,
In their eyes. Is the best guaranty of
her interests The allied governments
have been somewhat disturbed by
Certain illusions TO eventual measures
which IL taken by the Hellenic govern
ment would appear to them to be con-
Trajectory to assurances they have re-
ceived.
AS soon as their doubts on that
subject-due, no doubt to misunder-
standing-have been dispelled. the
powers will be happy to remove the
Obstacles now opposed to the arrival
OF merchandise in Greece. and to ac-
cord any facilities which result from
normal relations"

Why We Hang Up Stockings.

The custom of hanging up the stock
ing OH Christmas eve arose from an
incident in the life of the good st.
Nicholas. One day when he was over
taken by q severe storm he took refuge
in a convent, and the next day being
Christmas he preached a sermon to
the nuns which they liked SO much
that they asked him to come the next
year and preach to them again. On his
second visit, which was also on a
Christmas eve, before going TO bed he
asked each of the nuns to lend him a
stocking, and he filed the stockings
with sugar plums.
In the making of mince pies, which
form part of a regular Christmas
feast, mutton was the only meat for
merly used, as a commemoration of the
f1ocks that were watched on the holy
night by the shepherds of Bethlehem.
The spices were supposed to be sugges-
tive of the wise men from the east, the
land of spices.
