Rainey Would lnvcMigle
His Railroad Bills.
WANTS GOMMITILE TO PMl.
Illinois Representative Introduces a
Resolution Intimating That Roose
velt Was Furnished Trains Free
of Charge When President. I
Washington, Dot-. 'M, Theodore
Roosevelt's bills for transportation
wore brought ollielally to the attention
of the house by Representative Rnlney
of Illinois. Mr. Raluey introducod a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of Ave members
of the house "for the purpose of In
Tcstigatlng the railroad expenses In
curred by Theodore Roosevelt while
president of the United States."
The spec ial committee Is directed by
the resolution to ascertain the total "f
all the transportation expenses Incur
red by Mr. Hoosevelt and what part
of it he paid.
In connection with the resolution Mr.
Ilainey sine out the following state
inent:
"I expucl to press this resolution and
to Insist on a thorough Investigation.
3 remember that when Mr. ltoosevell
was president he frequently made de
mund on the railroads for special
trains fur hunting trips and other jun
kets. The trains always were fur
nished. "The railroads could not afford to
refuse a demand by the president. 1
have reason to believe that the bills
contracted by the president were never
paid. These expenses fell heaviest on
the Pennsylvania Itallroad company.
"There are 45,000 or fiO.000 stock
holders In that company. It hns been
charsed that transportation to the val
ue of at least $100,000 was thus fur
nished to Theodore Hoosevelt by till
company. This bill ought to be paid.
Somebody ought to pay It. The de
mand for these trains and for supplies
were always made by the president In
his olhVkil capacity. If the govern
ment is responsible an appropriation
ought to be made to pay these bill".
"If Mr. Hoosevelt Is responsible for
the unpaid bills he ought to pay them
At any rate, congress ought to have
the facts In order to take such action
as the situation may demand.'

PrineesH Cantaciu.no and Htr
Handsome Sons Visit America.
MM m
rniNCESS GANTACUZENE.
Princess Cautacuzene. who before
the married a Russian prince some
years ago was .lulla Dent Grant,
daughter of General and Mrs. Kred D.
Grant and niece of Mrs. Potter Palm
er. Is visiting in this country. With
her two handsome boys she arrived
from Hussia recently, and it Is her In
tention to show ler boys the famous
battlegrounds where their great-grand
father. General Ulyssus S. Grant, won
his victories during the civil war.
Tho little chaps are keenly interested
in American history, and there is nc
doubt that with their soldier grand
father for a guide they will learn more
of the history of the rebellion than
they ever could from books.
The princess, as may be gleaned
from her picture. Is just as charming
and girlish looking as a matron as she
was as the pretty Miss Julia Grant.
Business Opening,
Girls who want to begin sewing ns o
business can always find demand.):
well made shirt waists.
The fancy blouse and the plain shirt
are an excellent entering wedge lnt
the professional world of dressmaking.
Most young women who have made
their own shirt waists successful .
have at any rate more originality m
the matter of varying the plaits and ol
nice little touches of trimming than
the overbusy dressmaker, who "doesn '
bother with shirts," except to kep a
customer.
There are girls' clubs In almost ev
ery village and city, nnd a card or a
dozen cards 10ft there will usually
bring all the customers a novice will
care to contend with.
Nobody shall say to what height the
beginner may aspire, but certain It is
that she who is willing to commence
in a modest way on Inexpensive mate
rials and with little outstanding inon
ey will the sooner reach a height. She
will never regret the early days when
she was, by a less ostentatious begin
ning, enabled to study the customer
and business detail in general.
It Can Be Made of Odds and Ends.
If you wnnt to be in the swirl of
fashion make yourself n turban nnd
muff set like the one illustrated. You
can easily accomplish the task with
pieces of velvet nnd fur from your
milliner's scrap box. For the muff,
which is of puffed velvet shirred ver
tically, quite a large piece of velvet
TDUIIAN JLHV MUFF HETOl'SIIiK AND VUlt
will be necessary, as the muff Is of, i
generous size. The puffed crown of
the turban Is of tho samo velvet, nnd
both turban and muff are edged with
fur. The set pictured is of berry toned
velvet nnd smoked fox fur, but a
combination of silk nnd velvet would
be almost as effective.
There Is a fad this season for these
fabric and fur muff and turban sets.

Go up to your attic, look tibout
your house and see how many things
are lying round that you can not only
dispense with, but which are also
really in your way, that would brine
a moasuro of comfort and bappiucsR
to others lose fortunate than yourself,
writes Orison Sweet Harden In Suc
cess Mngazlne.
Look over your old clothing und
pick out the articles that you v. ill
never wear again, but which wo'ild
prove a real godsend to- somo poor
girls out of employment or who have
so many depending upon them th t
they cannot afford to buy nc--e '.ry
clothing for themselves. Do not kc;p
thoso things until they become vo
ices, thinking you may need them
sometime. Let them do good now.
while it is possible.
Perhaps you have a number of
protty but useless old Christ.-
presents which you have been koe.)-
ing for years, merely out of a feolins
of sentiment. Why not mnke somo
poor children who, perhaps, never
had had a Christmas present, happy
with those things? They made you
very happy'oncc, and they will do so
again, when you know that they are
making this Christmas brighter and
happier for others.
Look over your books. Pick out
the duplicates, or the paper covered
ones that you have read, , and give
them away where they will bo aprre
ciatcd. There are probably books in
your library, or lying around the
house, which no one has looked l-io
for years, or will read for years to
come, which would bo of inestimablo
value to boys nnd girls who arc try
ing to educate themselves unrer
great difficulties. Pass them on. The
more you give away the more you will
have and enjoy. The habit of stingi
ness strangles happiness; the habit
of giving multiplies it.
Perhaps you have damaged or old
pieces of furniture stowed away In
tho attic which would add greatly
to the comfort and brightness of
bomo poor home. Go over your china
closet and see how many odd or
chipped and discolored dishes are
lying there 'unused which would fill
an embarrassing want in many a poverty-stricken
home.
When the fit of generosity comos
over you as Chrlsumai time ap
proaches, whan you fel your heart
softening with human sympathy, go
about the house nnd pick up every
thing you do not need and send them
nwvy on their mission of love while

selfishness and stinginess try to con
