Editor Press:— It was altogether characteristic of President Roosevelt that, when it was represented to him that his prompt protest against the solicita tion of funds for campaign purposes from federal employes by federal ofii cials, had resulted in a serious fall ing off in the receipts of the sinews of war, he should have drawn his personal check for a liberal amount to help in the good work. The President is deeply impressed with the importance of the work which will fall to his party during the next few years and he is con vinced that the welfare of the coun try demands that this work shall continue uninterrupted. lie has never taken any stock in the theory that it would be just as well to let the Democrats win this year and so demonstrate to the country that they were utterly incapable of construc tive legislation. He has felt genu ine anxiety in regard to the out come in New York and Pennsyl vania and has been quoted as referr ing to the possibility of Democratic victory in the latter instance as a "threatened national calamity." The warm personal regard existing between the President and Govern or Odell is well known and, in a measure, the Governor of New York has sought to carry out some of the policies which Mr. Roosevelt him self inaugurated when he was Gov ernor and lie has succeeded ably in so far as the reduction of personal taxes in the state is concerned. Secretary Mood's statement, made at Lawrence, Mass., that the duty on anthracite coal must be re pealed at the first opportunity con linns the predictions made in these letters some time ago, that the Presi dent would advocate such removal. The President believes that it will be possible to alter sucli individual schedules of the tariff as may be im perative without the general revi sion threatened by the Democrats and which would serve to unsettle business throughout the country. A great deal of nonsense has been publishe I by the Democratic press in regard to the recent purchase of bonds authorized by Secretary Shaw including statements which clearly demonstrated that the editors or their correspondent did not know what they were talking about. When the Secretary of the Treasury desires to purchase bonds he must do so on the market at the market price. It would be useless for him to offer par for them or even any price materially less thun the market. They are held by private individuals who would not part with them at a sacri fice and whom he has no way of compelling ti> sell. Secretary Shaw paid 1."17 j for what bonds he pur chased juid the market then and since ha> ranged from from 1117 {' hid to I3s} asked. At the price which the Secretary paid for the 1035, ( per eeut. binds the Government saves $1,U52, more than it could po-sihly earn on liottds of uaclier maturity which could lie purchased for a lower premium Two other objects were M*rv«*J, however, l>v the purchase of till -It bout! . the larger premium paid enabled tint Secrt turv torvleaxea lai'u*r amount of money from the Treasury than would have beeu the case had the purchase consisted of bonds deposi ed as security for bank notes and, therefore, their purchase did not operate to curtail the volume of circulationi First Fork.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1902. Scunt PralNe. The old saying that "praise to the face is open disgrace" Is still lirmly believed by some people. A young woman who was brought up by her New England grandmother, a notable housekeeper and example of thrift, says that the adage was a household guide In her family. One day her grandmother went off to pay a visit, and the ambitious girl of sixteen scrubbed and polished, swept and dusted until it Beemed as if there was nothing left to do. Her heart beat high with the hope of a word of com mendation as she sat In the kitchen doorway waiting for her grandmother's return. When the old lady arrived she looked about her with keen eyes, but there seemed no chance for criticism until, stooping down under the kitchen table which stood near the open door, she saw that the south wind had wafted n bit of fluff from the hen yard. With eyes that would twinkle in »pite of herself she pointed an accus ing finger at this evidence of careless ness and said soberly: "Janet, my dear, I see there's a feather in the kitchen. It's high time I came home!" Mark Twain an a Boirler. When Mark Twain was an editor in Hartford he was considered a formida ble opponent at skittles. Ills favorite resort was a liowling alley In a cellar on State street, not far from the steam boat dock. While the celebrated hu morist was under Major Pond's man agement he was billed as one of the features for an evening's entertainment at the Young Men's Christian associa tion hall at Newark. There was a bowling alley immediately underneath the lecture room. As Mark Twain was on his way upstairs with the major he caught a glimpse of it. "What's going on in there—bowling?" "Yes." replied the major, who knew his weakness, "but never mind that now. You're due on the platform." "Run In somebody else for ten or fif teen minutes," said Mark Twain. "I shall do ever so much l>etter after a little exercise." And he did. Pretty Cold Weather. Two boatmen on the Ohio river were talking about cold weather and of a certain severe winter. "It was Just awful," said one of them. "At Cincin nati the river was froze tight, and the thermometer went down to 20 degrees below Cairo." "Below which?" asked his puzzled companion. "Below Cairo, you blubberhead! You see, when it freezes at Cairo it must be pretty cold, so they say so many degrees below Cairo." But light was bursting in upon the other. "No, they do not," he ex claimed eagerly. "You've got it all wrong. It's so many degrees below Nero. I do not know what It means, but that's what they say when it's Hroflflflll rtold " Tin* Sun 011 Every Side. A Texas citizen, says an exchange, is worried because the sun shines 011 each of the four sides of Ills house at some time of the day. The structure faces due north and south and Is situated on parallel 21>VJ of latitude, or prac tically 6 degrees north of the tropic of Cancer, where the sun is vertical in summer. He is carrying the problem about the country, offering prizes for its solution among school children. "Why," he asks, "should the sun pene trate my front door in the morning, de sert it ror the greater part of the day and again penetrate It in the after noon ?" Stelnltat and Kpntetn. When Stelnitz, the chess player, lived in Vienna, one of his pupils 111 the game was (iustave Epstein, among the rich est bankers of the Austrian capital. One day the teacher puzzled over a position so long that Epstein said im patiently, "Well?" Put soon the banker himself was In a hole and his too pro longed meditations were Interrupted with a disrespectful "Well?" "Sir," don't forget who you are and what I am," said Epstein angrily, but Hteinltz retorted: "On the Itourse you are Ep stein and 1 am Hteinltz; over the board I am Epstein and you are Htcinitz." Tlaaot Corrected. A visitor asked the late James Tissot one day whether ihe picture he was at work on was intended to illustrate the time of Christ. The artist replied in the affirmative. "Then," said the vis itor, "permit me to call your attention to an error. Aloes, such as you have In your picture, did not exist in Mediterranean region till after tin* con quest of Mexico by Spain." TisstV. promptly took his brush and altered nis picture. He Had Seen One. "Hiram," queried Mrs. Meddergrnsa, "did you ever see one o' them air cas ties?" "I 'low I hev, mother," replied the old luan.
