DEAN ROGERS FOR WILSON.
Yale Law School Head Hands Hard
Words to RoosevelL
Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the
Yale Law School like former Presi-
dent Elliot of Harvard intends to
support Governor Wilson and regards
Colonel Roosevelt as a man “whose
gluttonous lust for power has so ta-
ken possession of him that he is ready
to go to any lengths if only his sel-
fish ends can be promoted.”
Dean Rogers makes his views
known in the current issue of Zion’s
Herald. He says he intends to support
the Democratic ticket to punish the
Republican party “ as the represent-
ative of the mercenary interests that
have preyed upon the people for a
! generation and to punish it for the
sins of Big Business in partnership
with crooked politics.”
Also he wishes to secure a tariff
for revenue only to maintain the
rights of the States and because he
believes that the Democratic party
will solve more efficiently the trust
probletm. A further reason he gives
for supporting Wilson he states to
be:
Because Woodrow Wilson pos-
sesses the energy the ability the
courage the independence the
respect for the Constitution of
the United States. I believe that
his personal qualities are such
that he will be more successful
in getting things done than
Roosevelt or Taft.
Dean Rogers is against Taft chief-
ly because of the Republican policy
of protection. Regarding Mr. Roose-
velt he has much to say of which
this is part:
Mr. Roosevelt showed while
he was President an unwilling-
ness to submit to the- restraints
which the Constitution imposed
upon the President. I regard him
as the most lawless President
the nation has ever had. As I
believe in a government of laws
and not of men T am opposed to
him. I regard his views of the
powers of a President as abso-
lutely unsound and dangerous.
The alternative of a government
of law is a depotism.
Mr. Roosevelt says Dean Rogers
is as much a protectionists as Mr.
Taft. He calls the Colonel’s action
in Panama as scandal and declares
the idea of his fighting bosses to be
ludicrous in one wrho consorted with
Platt and Woodruff. He says:
He can turn traitor to his par-
ty be Judas Iscariot to his best
friend be Mr.. Facing both ways
'to the colored race break his sol-
emn promise made to all the peo-
ple of the nation that he would
not “under any circumstances”
I’
again be a candidate for the
Presidency or put any man or
woman in the Ananias Club
w-hose veracity it serves his pur-
pose at any time to challenge.
“I am opposed to the election to
ihat high office” writes Dean Rog-
ers in conclusion “of any man I
believe to bp an out-and-out demago-
gue."—New York Sun.

MRS. BRUCE ISMAY AIDS
TITANIC SUFFERERS
American Women Abandon Pleasure
and Entertainment and Personally
Relieve Distress
London Oct. >2.—Since the Titanic
disaster Mrs. Bruce Ismay and her
sister w-ho are the daughters of
George Schieffelin of New York have
abandoned everything like pleasure-
seeking or entertaining. All the time
they have been able to spare from
their own domestic obligations has
been devoted to an investigation of
the needs of those who suffered
through the loss of the ill-fated
steamer.
They were not content with the
knowledge that a huge sum of money
had been subscribed by the philan-
thropic public; they decided to see
C ings with their own eyes and per-
sonally to relieve distress.
A list of everyone in Liverpool
and a district who had suffered in
any way was made out for them and
in cases where they were not able
to call themselves they sent a res-
ponsible representative with suffi-
cient relief to meet immediate needs.
They also sent a special investiga-
tor to Southhampton where the great
bulk of the relatives of the lost sea-
man lives and scores of homes that
could not afford to wait for the of-
ficial distribution of the big London
Mansion House fund were enabled
to weather the crisis. The most com-
mendable feature of their philanth-
ropy is that there has not been a
semblance of ostentation about it.

USHERS CHASE AUDIENCE
Everyone Starts Home After Four*h
Act—Play Ha<J Five.
A five-act play Is such a novelty
!in New York that when the end of
j the fourth act of “Hero and Leander”
; was reached at the German Theatre
(Irving Place and Fourteenth St. last
I night the audience got up and left.
The play is a German classic by
Grillparzer a German love play that
is popular but has not been seen here
j in many years. The fourth act has
two scenes and at the end of the act
the players got nine curtain calls.
Then to the company’s amazement
the audience arose and left.
The manager Dr. M. Baumfield
sent the ushers out into Irving Place
'after the audience and got about a
j quarter of them to return for an-
iother act.—New York Sun.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
If silver is to be stored away for
some time pack it in dry flour; it
will remain untarnished.
To be absolutely sure that a car-
bolic solution will not burn use one
part acid to ‘wenty part water.
Before sealing fish you should dip
them in boiling water for a moment;
they will scale more easily.
If the tip of shoe laces pull off
twist the ends of the string and dip
into glue. They are as good as when
new.
IWhen the cream is too thin to whip
add the unbeaten white of an egg.
You will have no trouble whipping
the cream.
The edge of a silence cloth should
be finished with a buttonhole stitch
not too close. A hem makes a ridge
under the tablecloth.
When filling the gem pans with
batter leave one of the cup? empty
and fill it with water. The gems will
brown nicely without burning.
In heating the oven the draughts
should bo closed when the coal is well
started. In a word to save fuel plan
ahead and then watch the draughts.
Rust can be removed from steel
by covering it with sweet oil for a
day; then rub with a lump of fresh
lime and polish in the ordinary way.
For a creaking door rub the edges
with soap and then with the addi-
tion of a few drops of oil on the hin-
ges the nuisance will be remedied.
Cranberries can he kept fresh in-
definitely if put in a jar and filled
up with cold water. Place a lid on
lightly and change water every day
or two.
Colored stockings should be washed
jin a suds of warm water and soap
j Rinse thoroughly and wring very dry.
jthen hang them in the shade to dry.
j A bruise should be bathed immedi-
ately and freely with very hot wa-
iter. The congestion will then be re-
lieved and no ugly discoloration will
j follow.
>Vindow shades that have been
cracked can be renovated in the fol-
lowing way; Lay the shades flat on
j the floor and paint them with or-
dinary oil paint.
Sprinkle salt on the tablecloth when
■ wine has been spilled. When the
j cloth has been removed pour boiling
water through the stain until it has
disappeared.

PAID TO “THINK AHEAD."
The Part Imagination Plays In the
Business World.
There to a man In an office In New
York whose business It is to think
ahead ou behalf of the community and
prepare for coming events writes T.
Sharper Knowlton in the Century dis-
cussing “The Uses of Imagination Id
Business.” He sits at a big table and
before him to a map of New York with
Its environs by land and sea. The
problem is to determine what shipping
accommodation will be required in the
future and to begin the work of recon-
struction now. During the last centu-
ry the story was one of growth
growth growth and the story Is to be
continued. How? That is the ques-
tion which the man with the map has
to settle. He is not od piecework; he
to paid for thinking. In other words
whatever bis official title may be I
shall call him acting professor of im-
agination to the shipping interests of
New York.
In every progressive bouse of busi-
ness there to or ought to be a similar '
officer. Generally he is the principal
himself. That is one reason why he di- '
vides his business Into departments
and pay» men high salaries to superin- ;
tend them. He wants time to think.
Bnt the farseelng element In imagi-
nation to not the only one. There to
one which concerns itself with details.
If I might say so Imagination 1s tele-
scopic for big things and microscopic i
for small things. Yon can imagine a
billion dollar trust and you can imag- j
ine a new way of pointing a needle.
Probably no man makes a sure ad- '
vance without using both instruments
but the essential work of the imagina- I
tion to always the same. It creates j
the things which are not. Judgment
passes Its verdict and action brings j
realization. j
ANTS IN AUSTRALIA.
They Eat Up Wooden Beams and Even
Dine on Leaden Roofs.
The following extract from an Aus-
tralian diary will give an idea of the
ravages of the ants in that country:
“About noon It got too hot for any-
thing and I took a well earned swim
in a secluded creek amid shoals of
fish large and small who apparently
resented my intrusion from the way
they came and stared at me.
“I found on emerging from the wa-
ter that a host of tdue brown ants bad
taken possession of my clothes and
when they were shaken out they re-
venged themselves by biting my bare
feet in a way which was exceedingly
painful.
“There are thousands of ants every-
where. Some of the ant hills are three
feet high and six feet across but ex-
cept for a sharp nip at the time the
ordinary ant’s bite to not noticeable.
But if a soldier ant or a bull ant or a
greenhead (an ant about one and a half
Inches long with a green head) bites
yon It to not to be forgotten because
they take quite a big piece out
“Then there are the white ants (not
really ants but termites) which cheer-
fully eat the insides out of the beams
of the wooden houses and recently ate
the sheet lead on top of the Sydney
museum. Tbs city fathers thought
this was going a little too far so now
the ants are preserved inside the mu-
seum with samples of the half con-
sumed lead as a warning to all who
wonld allow their appetites to run
away with them.”--London Gentle-
man.
Quick Measurements.
A traveler was detained at a little
country railroad station In England
for half an hour and was chatting with
the station master when the bell rang
sharply half a dozen times. Instantly
the three employees—station master
ticket agent and porter—ranged up In
a line on the platform and stood at at-
tention. A moment later a locomotive
with a single saloon car slowed op.
The solitary occupant of the car re-
garded the men sharply from the win-
dow made harried notes and quicklj
retired.
“Who was that?” the traveler asked
the station master after the man had
gone. “Some prominent officer of tb«
line?"
“Oh no" was the reply. “That was
the railroad company’s tailor measur-
ing us tar new suits.”—Boston Tran-
script

ALWAYS FOUGHT LIKE CATS.
Yot Snarling Ibsen and Bjornson Could
Not Keep Apart.
Edmund Gosse In his “Two Visits
to Denmark" tells of how he heard
through Christian Molbech of the an-
tagonism between Ibsen and Bjornson.
It was In their younger days at Rome
and Ibsen poor and obscure. Indulged
bis naturally sullen temper to the ut-
most Later he became quite a dandy
In appearance but at this time. In the
sixties he wore a long black beard
and possessed but one coat shabby
and green.
He used related Professor Molbech
to keep morosely to himself In the
Scandinavian club at Rome until sup-
per time then emptying his bottle
of wine he would brighten not Into
geniality—for that would have been
impossible—but Into sarcastic loquac-
ity. And let Bjornson appear and a
storm was at hand.
“Oh.” said Molbech “to be in Rome
with Ibsen and Bjornson together my
dear young friend. It was a weary
weary thing! They could not keep
apart They were like two tomcats
parading and snarling and swearing at
each other yet each bored to death If
the other were not present They
collected their adherents behind them.
There were two well defined parties.
“I assure you. If It amused the Nor-
wegians It was death to us easy going
Danes and Swedes. At last Bjornson
took himself off. Oh what a sigh of
relief we gave! And Ibsen came Into
the club glanced around and snarled
and there was no one to snarl back at
him. Then followed the publication of
Brand and money came In and Ibsen
grew to be a celebrated character. So
he smiled and stretched out his legs
and was quiet But agreeable? Oh.
no!
“Let us use words In their true sense.
Ibsen has never been an agreeable
man and be never will be. But he Is
a great genlu9 and a very honest per
son.”
BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
Faulty Living Is the Cause of "the
Malady of Civilization.*
Bright’s disease has been called "the
malady of civilization" and the name
is not unmerited. It is beyond every-
thing else a disease of civilized white
men and it Is due almost entirely to
those habits of life which distinguish
the white man from the savage of the
Jungle. Nine times out of teu It Is the
result more or less direct of disorders
of the digestive tract and nine times
out of ten these disorders are due to
too much eating and drinking too much
bending over desks and too little fresh
air.
The savage lives In the open eats
simple foods knows nothing of whisky
and gets plenty of sleep and exercise.
As a result he has a good digestion a
clear eye and good red blood in his
veins. But the civilized white man
eats rich food made appetizing by
stimulating condiments; braces him-
self with alcohol lives in stuffy houses
in filthy smoky cities and never walks
when he can ride. The result Is that
his stomach fails In Its duties; his kid-
neys inundated by poisons go to pieces
—and he dies from Bright’s disease.
Sometimes the trouble starts In the
kidneys themselves—as for Instance
when they are crippled by alcohol—
and sometimes It starts in the stomach
or elsewhere. But in any case the blame
lies with faulty methods of living and
it is the kidneys that suffer the final
damage. And when they falter or fall
in their business the body fills up with
poisons and death Is not far away.
Bright’s disease In fact may be called
autopoisoning. Its victim dies of poi-
sons generated within his own body.—
The Only Way.
A person of little tact once remarked
to the octogenarian Auber “What a
sad thing It Is this old business!”
"Yes” agreed the old musician ’it
Is sad; but” he added with witty
philosophy “up to the present time no
surer way has been discovered to live
a long time.”
Correcting Him.
Gibbs—Oh. yes Jones is an ass and
all that but you’ll never hear him say
a mean thing about his wife. Dlbbs -
I don't know. He says she made him
what be la!—Boston Transcrln:.
Literal 8urgary.
"Did the surgeon when consulted
write that man he was going to sew up
his heart with gold wire?” "No he
didn't write; he wired him.”—Balti-
more American.
Scull and 8kull.
“Sculls” and "skulls” are really one
word In origin and both at various
times have been spelled capriciously
with a “c” or a “k.” Pepys the dia-
rist. tells bow he went on the Thames
at one time “in a scull” at another In
a “skuller.” The origin of the word la
“skulle” or “sculle” a bowl or goblet.
While the cranium was obviously bow-
II ke In shape a distant resemblance to
a bowl was also detected In the scoop-
ed out blade of a “scull” as opposed to
the flat blade of an oar proper.
A Strike.
Mrs. Nulywed—You dew’t love me
any more. I know you don’t Nuly-
wed—But my dear you’iw very much
mistaken. I adore you. Mrs. Nuly-
wed—No; you don’t No man could
love a woman so badly dressed aa I
am.—Paris litre.
A Snob.
Thackeray designated a snob aa a
being on a ladder who is quite aa ready
to Idas the feet of him who la above
him aa to kick the bead of him who la
below.
Goodness does not consist In great
ness but greatness In goodneaa. -Atho
