Proprieites Not Violated. '
There i 8 a disposition in some quar
ters to criticise Mr. Roosevelt for the
sctive interest he is displaying in his
own campaign and for his zeal in pro
moting his political fortunes. This crit
feism began when the recess session of
the Fifty-eighth congress was brought
to a_rather abrupt close. It was then
inttmated that congress adjourned not
%o much of its own volition as at the re
quest of the president, who had urgent
reasons of a political nature for desir
ing the statesmen to go home at the
earliest possible opportunity. It is ap
parent that Mr. Roosevelt, like some of
his predecessors, considers it no viola
tion of the proprieties and in no way
nnbecoming his exalted position to take
g hapd in the management of the con
test which means either his retirement
to private life or his election by the’
majority of his feilow citizens to the
highest office in the gift of the nation..

Beed Not H-:m the Trusts Now.
"1t will be a nice thing for Mr. Knox
to be transferred from the department
of justice to the United States senate.
As attorney general his feelings must
have been lacerated at the times when
he felt 1t his duty to stick pins in the
big cosabines—to draw blood from the
beef trust and the Northern Securities‘
company. In the senate he will not be
called upon to be cruel to the trusts.
He will not have to bring them into
court and denounce them as public en- |
emies. When he becomes senator he|
can regard the combines either withl
friendly indifference or as necessary
developmaents of our modern industrial l
system. At any rate, if he continues to|
hate them it will not be incumbent

fhe Love Affalrs of the Father of Eis
Counutry.
George Wasbingtcn's love affairs be.
€an at a very early age, and he was to
the day of his death “fond of the girls.”
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom be fell in love when
:be was only 34 years of age. This s
| ascertained from an entry in one of his
diaries, where he refers to her as his
“lowland beauty.” Having tired of
Mary, he wrote to a friend that he had
decided to “bury his chaste and troe
blesome passion,” which, having done.
be soon found himself enamored of
Lucy Cary, a sister-in-law of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
Interrupted now and again by his aat
ural Virginla passion of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met
In 1752 his first serious love affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with a certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife, but the fates had destined hlml
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came bnc,kl
to her, but found that she had notl
changed her mind on that score.
His next heartache was caused by a
girl In New York after he had become
‘& colonel. She was the heiress Mary
Phillipse. s business calied Hhin
away from her; but, having finished
this, he returned to New York and pro
posed to her, but was here, as before,
disappointed by her refusal.
In 17358 at Waynes Ferry, whils
travellng to Willlamsburg with dis
patches, he met his future wife, Mra |
Martha Dandridge Custis, the widow
of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty, in
telligent and rich. He had been with
her all of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning.
On his way he stopped at her homei
and then and there told of his love and ‘
asked her to become his mate for life. §
This time, contrary to his previous
proposals, he was accepted.—Chiesgo

Will Ringletse Come Back?®
' The early Victorian fashions are slows
ly returning—the low cut dresses, the
bell sleeves, the fichus, the pelerines,
the hoir drawn over the ears and gath
erd low in the neck. Will ringlets come
back too? Our mothers loved those cu
rious appendages which framed the
face, half hiding, balf revealing it In
the most coquettish manner possible
The poke bonnet, the ringlets which re
quired constant attention, are surely
