A little incident which pome-
body about the White House wit-
nessed the other day IB significant
both ai> an illustration of certain
traits in the character of Prei-ident
Roosevelt and as an example for
hie admirers. There has been an
impression among certain ot his
critics lhat he believed -'the stren-
uous life" to consist chiefly in
hunting and killing animal,; but
though a mighty hunter, he is not
merely a Nimrod, as the following
occurrence shows.
It was a rainy, dreary day, soon
alter Mr. Roosevelt's return to
Washington, aid  fter a busy
mo ruing the Pr-sil -nt and hi'
ercreiary >tsr'd out for a walk.
Just outside the do,.r lay a home
less, friendless d-it.  " dose to the
wall as he could t«i. his body
curled up into < >" Mimlleet. possi-
ble hunch to av.id the rain and
possible nhservHtion. A' the two
men emerged from the door he
linked up apprehensively to -ee il
a kiok or a stefn 'he off with you,
now!" would compel him tn beat a
hasty retreat. But nothing of the
sort occurred. Mr. Roosevelt's ex-
pressive face took on a pitying
and kindly look, and bending
down, he stroked the animal's
head and pulled him gently by th
ears.
"Poor doggie, haven't you any
master?" he inquired. Then he
went back into the house, and the
dog, with instinctive understand-
ing of the situation, trotted close
at hiB heels. The President or-
dered that the waif should he
taken to the kitchen and given a
good meal; and it is said that the
dog will he the dog of the White
House during thin administration.
Mr. Roosevelt is not one of those
sportsmen who are satisfied with
popping away at tame pigeons.
When he goes hunting he wants
the excitement of killing a danger
ous wild beast. It will be a good
thing for his boy admirers to re-
number that the man who led the
charge at San Juan Hill was quite
us ready to befHend a homelene
I cur as to hunt cougars or grizzlies.

Sensational Land Suit
It is understood that a suit will
be filed in a few days in the dis-
triot cAurt at Oklahoma City, in-
volving more than one hundred
thousand acres of indemnity school
lands, located in what was former
lv the Kickapoo Indian reservation
just east of Jones City. The
plaintifts in the case will be about
six hundred farmers, who allege
that these school lands which
were selected in lieu of Indian
allotments in various parts of the
Territory, were unlawfully selected
and that by such unlawful select-
ion they who made the run for the
lands are debarred from their
homestead rights. They will ask
that the lands be opened to entry.
The attorney in the case to be is
Dick T. Morgan of El Reno.

Had Read Them All.
They had just met, and conver-
sation was somewhat flitful. Fin-
ally he decided to guide it into
literary channels, where he was
more at home, and, turning to hie
companion, asked:
11 Are you fond of literature?"
"Passionately," Bhe replied. "I
love books dearly."
"Then you muBt admire Sir
Walter Scott," he exclaimed with
sudden animation. "Is not hie
'Lady of the Lake' exquisite in its
flowing grace and poetic imagery?
Is it not"—
"It is perfectly lovely," Bhe as-
sented, clasping her hands in
ecBtaBy. "I Buppose I have read
it a dozen times."
"And Scott's 'Marmion.' he con-
tinued, with itB rugged simplicity
and marvelous description—one
can always smell the heather on
the heath while perusing its Bple
did pages."
"It is perfectly grand," Bhe
murmured.
"And Scott's 'Peveril of the
Peak' and his noble 'Bride of
Lammermoor'—where in the Eng-
lish language will you find any-
thing more heroic than his grand
auld Scottish characters and his
graphic, forceful pictures of feudal
timee and customs? Youlikethem
I am sure."
I just dote upon them," she
replied.
'•And Soott's Emulsion"—he
continued hastily, for a faint sub-
picion was beginning to dawn
upon him.
"I think, she interrupted rashly,
"that it's the beet thing he ever
vrote."—Profitable Advertising.
A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C.
F, Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that

No remedy helped him until he
tried Electric Bittere which effected
such a wonderful change that he
writes he feeU like a new man.

Marriage Was Declared Void
A peculiar judgment was ren-
dered in the District Court at
Paris last week. While it hud the
effect of a divorce decree, the suit
waB brought by the father of the
plaintiff as next friend to annul a
marriage and have it declared
void. The style of the suit was
T. J. Smith, vs. M. V. Roson. The
suit grew out of the child marriage
reported three or four weeks apo.
the groom being 15 and the bride
13 years of age. The father of tlie
bride, who instituted the proceed-
ings to annul, is a blind m n.
The marriage was without his
knowledge or consent. During
the proceedings the father intro-
duced his own marriage certificate
in evidence with the date of the
child's birth written on it by her
mother before she died, showing
her to be only 13. The child wife
in her testimony stated that be-
fore the person who secured the
license went to get it be took one
of her shoes oft and cut the figure
18 in the sole with a knife so that
he could make affidavit that she
waB "over 18." A complaint for
perjury was lodged against the
person making the affidavit and
he is under bond to await the
action of the grand jury.
For Rusty Nail Wounds.
The Scientific American says
that one of the best remedieB that
can lie applied to a wound made
.by a rusty nail, and which is al-
most infallible in its cure, is to
take a quantity of peach leaveB
and beat them to a pulp and then
apply I" 'he wc und. Several per-
sons have tried this remedy when
all others h.ive failed to give re-
lief, and it whs beneficial in its
reHultc.

A Kansas City woman recently
had two offers of marriage from
two gentlemen ill Chicago, and in
answering them, put the answerB
ill the wrong envelopes. She dis-
covered her mistake shortly after
the letters were mailed, and began
a bombardment of the postoftice at
Chicago with letters and telegrams.
The letters were intercepted and
she went at once to identify them.
They were delivered to her and
she tore them to bite, smothered
the clerks with gratitude and
started home saying she would
write the "yes" letter as soon as
she got home, and then wait a
week before sending the "no"
answer.
