At the Jame.tow. Exposition.


White House, April g. 1901.
DEAREST KERMIT:
We really had an enjoyable trip
to jamestown. The guests were
mothers friend. Mrs. johnson. a Nir-
GINA lady who reminds me SO much
of Aunt Annie. my mothers sister,
who throughout my childhood was al
most as much associated in our home
life as my mother herself: Justice
Moody. who was as delightful as he
always is. and with him it was a
real pleasure to again have a chance
to talk: Mr.. and Mrs. Bob Bacon. who
proved the very incest guests OF all
and were companionable and sym
pathetic at every point. Ethel was
as good as gold and took much of OF
mothers shoulders in the way OF TAX
ing care of Quentin. Archie and
Quentin had, of course. a heavenly
time; went everywhere below and
aloft, and ate indifferently at all
hours. both with the officers and en-
listed men. We left here Thursday
afternoon and on Friday morning
passed in review through the foreign
fleet and our own fleet of sixteen
great battleships in addition to cruis-
ers. 1t was an inspiring sight and
one / would not have missed for a
great deal. Then we went in a launch
to the exposition where I had the
usual experience in such cases. made
the usual speech. held the usual re-
ception. went to the usual lunch, etc.
etc.
In the evening mother and got
on the Sylph and went to Norfolk to
dine. When the Sylph landed we were
| at hxy( Nara 90 h.,
house. I was finishing dressing and
mother went out into the cabin and
sat down to receive him. In a minute
or two l came out and began to hunt
for my hat Mother sat very erect
and pretty. looking at my efforts with
tolerance that gradually changed TO
impotence. Finally she arose to get
her own CLOAK. and then 1 found that
she had been sitting gracefully but
firmly on the hat herself-it was a
crush hat and it. had been flsttened
until it looked like a wrinkled pie.
Mother did not see what she had done
so ! speechlessly thrust the hat to-
ward her: but she still did not under
stand and took il as an inexpIica bic
Jest OF mine merely saying, Yes,
dear" and with patient dignity.
turned and went out Of the door with
Gen. Grant.
The next morning We went on the
Sylph up the James River. and on the
return trip visited three OF the dearest
places you can imagine. Shirley. West
over and Brandon. l do not know
whether I loved most the places them
selves or the quaint out-of-the-world
Virginia gentlewomen in them. The
houses. the grounds. the owners. all
were too dear for anything and we
loved them. That night We went back
to the Mayflower and returned here
yesterday. Sunday, afternoon.
Today spring weather seems really
to have begun. and after lunch mother
and 1 sat under the apple tree by the
fountain. A purple finch was singing
in the apple tree overhead, and the
white petals of the blossoms were
silently falling. This afternoon mother
and I are going out riding with
Senator Lodge.

DEAR KERMIT:

country soon and will lecture far

est Proofs of Continued Personal Ex-
istence." Maurice Maeterlinck al
ready is in the country. and as soon
as he sees the first performance in
the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York City, of the opera version of
his Blue Bird" he, too starts out
to lecture on the same subject. The
two men approach this problem of
mans destiny from very different
standpoints: ana NJ. Maeterlinck, in
his first interviews. has been care
full to point out that ne does rot
belong to the Society for Psychical
Research and that he is far from
certain that Sir Oliver Lodge and
Conan Doyle are right in their meth
cd of getting evidence as to the per-
sistence of the personality of man
after what we call death. However
il is not without considerable sig
niflcance that the two men should
be i'm the country at the same time
and on the same GRAND. Europe's
thinkers have. been far more deeply
stirred to reconsideration of this is
sue that have Americas. They have
seen millions OF the flower of their
youth go out Of life. Consequently
they are avid to know where they
are and whether they exist anywhere.
In this country the only prominent
novelist who has turned his art to
depletion Of his yearning Of the null
titude for light has been Basil King.
But England and France have many
writers who are attempting to help
revive the orthodox faith, and this
on grounds quite apart. from the
New Testament narrative as to Je-
sus' resurrection.
One of the more modest and less
generally known members Of the
latest Industrial Commission ap-
pointed by the President to deal with
our labor problems is Richard Hooker,
now the dominating personality Of the
famous Springfield Republican, New
England's outstanding independent"
journal with a national reputation.
He is of the famous Bowles family
that for four generations has defined
the ideals and shaped the policies
of this journal, and that in Samuel
Bowles md, had one of the greatest
journalists the calling has produced
in America. With power thus concen-
trated in the family. and the family's
social and political ideals remaining
high, the successive managing editors
and staff subordinates never have
had to trim their writing to meet the
demand of interests within or with
out the corporation, eager for divi-
dends and Indifferent to methods Of
earning them. With the Bowles fam
lily dominating. editing the paper has
been a question Of right, and not of
profits primarily. America has no
finer illustration to cite Of loyalty
to a journalistic ideal extending over
SO long a time. Mr.. Hooker SUBJ
scribes to the tradition. Yale gave
him his academic training, and the
Republicans office his experience as
a writer To the group of men he
is now serving with. most of them
lawyers and business men, he brings
a point of view as a watcher Of and
maker of public opinion, that will be
valuable on the commission. He is a
liberal, not conservative; and lives
for tomorrow and Got for yesterday.

So the hungry squirrels bought nuts
from the Smart Squirrel, agreeing to
pay two nuts the following autumn
for each nut they got then.
Next autumn all the other squirrels
had to work a bit harder than they
did In former years, for they had
their own supplies to harvest and
they had to pay their debts to Smart
Squirrel.
But Smart Squirrel didn't gather
any nuts that autumn. He was too
busy collecting from his customers.
He stuck around the old hollow
tree. taking toll from the nut
gatherers.
OF course this resulted in the other
squirrels having fewer nuts that win
ter than before. for they had to pay
Smart Squirrel so many.
And along toward spring. when
their smaller stores gave out. they
had to promise Smart Squirrel three
nuts for each they got from his
store. When the nut shortage got
still more acute he soaked 'em for
four and five.
Next fall most OF the squirrels
were kept busy paying back Smart
Squirrel and bad no time to store
nuts for themselves. They began
right away buying nuts from Smart
Squirrel. who had a lot of them. And
that fall there was talk of a nut
shortage right from the start. Old
Smart Squirrel would tell how scarce
nuts were, and they were-for the
other squirrels. Then he'd boost the
price.
