learn tbai among "those who refused
to leave their husbands." was Mr .
Straus. The noted New York iuif-
llonalre and philanthropist, during h!a
long years of usefulness, gave much
attention to the charities that espe
daily ameliorated the condition of
the women and children of tho great

characteristics that made this class
of work Mr. Straus greatest ambition
endeared him to all his friends, and
made of tlv'ta such devoted follow-
ers as would oue and all have hap-
pily accompanied hlui to his watery
grave. Is it any wonder, then, that
his wife preferred to go to her death
at his side, rather than see him go
alone?
America la full of Just such heroes
as those strong tuen on the Titanic
who saw to It that "all the women

MERCHANT'S SAY "NOT MUCH."
Next to upholding all that is good

of his bosom, should a business man
uphold the reputation of his business
for stability and progresalveuess.
In order lo avoid the reasonable a*

of his city, he shouldn't be like the
man who, when married, asked the

New York, April 19.—That Theo-
dore Roosevelt was plentifully sup-
plied with money for his primary
fight in New York county recently,
t.nil that George W. Perkins, director
o! the 'harvester trust" and a large
stockholder in the United States
Steel Corporation, was a heavy con-
tributor, was shown when the Roose-
velt managers filed a statement of
expenses with the secretary of state
in Albany.
The Roosevelt managers spent $59,*
126.75 and the republican county |
committee, which was accused by
Mr. Roosevelt of stealing the election,
spent only $5,585.64. This was con-
tributed by the Taft National League. |
The county committee, through its
treasurer, Ogden W. Mills, also filed
a statement in Albany. The corrupt
practices act required that this shall
be done.

Roosevelt would interfere with neith-
