FINANCIAL SUICIDE.

When the hired man goes out to the
barn some morning and finds John
Jones in the hay NOW, swaying and
twisting gently at the end Of long
strong rope, about the first thing he
does after he has cut the body down
is to notify the Coroner. The Coroner,
having viewed the remains and re-
marked that John is as dead as Connie
Mack's chances to win the American
League pennant, calls in bunch of
his cronies who need the money, en-
pannels jury and holds an inquest.
1t is not log until the jury shifts its
chew of tobacco and announces that
John Jones came to his death by his
own hand. The neighbors say: well,
it's a pity John didn't have the nerve
to fight his troubles instead of duck
ing them" and ]. Jones is forgotten.
Not all killing is murder but death
by ones own hand is not only pro-
hibited by law but is regarded almost
universally as the subterfuge of
coward to avoid facing the future.
Killing your own chances in life is
financial suicide. Men who would
scorn to end their lives no matter

COLONEL RO0sEvELTs FIRST
NIGHT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

In writing OF my brother In the
White House various scenes stand out
with special clearness. The first night
he spent there comes back with ten
der aroma of his love for his sisters
and his loyal memory Of his father.
The deed Of the cowardly assassin
had done Its work; William Mckinley
was dead. The young vice-president
had made the hazardous trip from the
heart Of the Adirondack Mountains,
had taken the solemn oath in Buffalo,
had followed the body Of his late chief
to its final resting-place, and had re-
turned to Washington. From Washing
ton he telegraphed to my husband and
myself - with the love and the
thought which he always showed-and
told us that as Mrs. Roosevelt was at
tending to last important matters at
Sycamore Hill she could not be with
him the day he was to move into the
White House, and that he was very
anxious that not only my sister, Mrs.
Cowles, and her husband blu that we
also should dine with him the first
night that he slept in the old mansion.
So we went on to Washington and
shared with him that first meal in the
house for which he had such romantic
attachment because it had sheltered
the hero of his boyhood and his man
hood, Abraham Lincoln. AS we sat
around the table he turned and said
do you realize this is the birthday Of
our father September 90? have real
lied it, as l signed various papers all
day long, and feel that it is a very |
good omen that l should begin my du-
ties in this house on this day. feel
as If my fathers hand were on my |
shoulder, and as if there were a spe-
cial blessing over the life l am to lead
here"
Almost as he finished this sentence |
the coffee was passed to us, and at that
time it was the habit at the White
House to pass, with the coffe, a little
boutonniere to each gentleman. AS the
flowers were passed to the President,
the one given to him was a yellow
saffronia rose for his buttonhole. His
face flushed, and he turned again and
said: as it not strange! This Is the
rose we all connect with my father"

New York, July 8.-Tom Gibbons.
st. Paul light heavyweight probably
will be the next American opponent Of
Georges Carpenter in a bout in this
country. II remains only for the rep
resentatives Of the boxers and Promoter
Tex Richard to get together in a meet
ing to arrange the bout definitely.
Richard is eager to arrange the bout
for Columbus Day, at his arena on
Boyle's Thirty Acres. Jersey City.
Gibbons is reported agreeable to n
meeting with Carpenter and the French
heavyweight is said to be eager to en-
gage in another battle, with the pros
pect of demonstrating his ability In
contest where the physical conditions
would be more nearly equal than they
were in the recent Dempsey contest.
A Carpenter Gibbons clash would be
for the worlds light heavyweight title,
an honor now held by Carpenter.
Francois Descamps, manager Of Car
pentier, yesterday visited Madison
Square Garden and held conference
with Promoter Rickard. At the con
clusion Of the confab Richard declared
that Carpenter would accept a bout
against Gibbons. provided II could be
arranged so as to afford plenty Of time
for recovering from the thumb injury

Manager Descamps, Richard said. de-
clared that Carpenter would not bt
ready for another bout before three
months. He needed this time. Dcscamp'
told Rickard, in order to permit the in.
jured thumb to mend properly, to rest
and to train.
Rickard Is ready to arrange the battl,
without delay. He is convinced sucl
a contest would attract n large crowt
to the spacious arena In the Common

demands of Gibbons are prohibitive, 4
