"It matters little about me," Colo nel R'jcoevelt told Mr. Reveridge, "but It. matters all about the cause we fight for. If one soldier who happens to carry the flag is stricken, another will take it from his hands and carry Hon "You know that personally I do not want ever to be a candidate for ofilce again," the message from the stricken ex-president continues, "and you know that only the call that came to the men of the 'CO's made me answer It In our day as they did more nobly In their day. "And now, as then, It Is not Import ant whether one leader lives or dies," continues the message. "It is Import ant only that the cause shall live and win. Tell the people not to worry nnout me; far If I go down another will take my place. For always the army- Is there, and always the cause s there, and it Is the cause for which the people care; It Is the people's cause." "Colonel Roosevelt would have put to Mr. Wilson," continued Mr. Bev eridge, "the questions about to fol low, none of which was devised by Colonel Roosevelt, but all of which were written and sent to the colonel bv the headwaiter of a hotel. Here arf the questions: " 'Is It not a fact that the laws ol the state under which a corporation Is organized prescribe its power? " 'Are not all the powers of the Standard Oil and similar monopolies conferred by the laws of New Jersey i " 'Could not these powers be cur tailed by amendments to the New Jer Bey laws? " 'Why has not Mr. Wilson as gov ernor of New Jersey, recommended such amendments?' " "I ask Mr. Wilson," says Colonel Roosevelt's message, "to answer cnte Gorlcally and specifically and not by loose general arguments, Just why It was that, making the recommendation he made In his Inaugural and while Insisting that the trust question was 8 state question and in view of the fact that in New Jersey he had ample pow ei to deal with trusts, he neverthelcst during the entire time he has beer, governor failed to take action of any k;nd, sort or description against the Standard Oil, tobacco, sugar, beef trust or any other trust?"

BULLET IS IN COLONEL'S RIB Ball Much Flattened by Impact, X-Ray Plate Shows. BONE IS BADLY SPLINTERED. No Attempt Will Be Made at Present to Remove Lead Doctors Announce Wound Heals Normally Without In fection No Complications Appear. Chicago, Oct. 17. After a day of leascless vigil, Colonel Roosevelt's physicians could say no more than that his condition was unchanged. In dications, they said, favored the speedy recovery cf the ex-presldent from the effects of the bullet which struck him down in Milwaukee on Monday night. The first X-ray plate which definite ly shows the bullet in Colonel' Rooso- elt's chest was developed. The bul let is shown partly imbedded in the fracture In the fourth rib, about four laches from the sternum. The bullet U much flattened and spread out of thape. It is crushed into the upper edge of the rib. Several small splin ters of bone project near It. The radio graph shows an extraordinary spread and arch of the uninjured ribs, indieat- ng the unsual size of the colonel's lungs and development of his chest. The fact that a rib was fractured added to the feeling of uncertainty. Not before tomorrow, If all goes well, will the physicians be prepared to say that their patient is out of dan ger. The Intervening period will he required to determine whether blood poisoning or other complications are to be feared. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., after a talk with his father and a consultation with the attending surgeons, expressed the fee-ilng of those about the ex presi- dent. "It will be four or five days," he said, "btfore we can breathe easily." Colonel Roosevelt spent a quiet and apparently earefreie day, seemingly the least concerned of all. He was cheered by the appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt, who arrived . from New York and remained with him constant ly. He felt no pain, he said, and moved sbout at will on his bed, read ing, dictating telegrams and talking with members of his family. Description of Wound. A description of the wound was giv en by Dr. W. B. McCauley, the first to be given to the public by the surgeons He said the bullet's path through the muscles of the chest Is lacerated to some extent by the battered lead, but that there was little contusion and no extensive area of bruised and extrava sated surrounding tissue. The bullet did not mushroom, as might have been expected," said Dr. McCauley. "For that reason It cut a comparatively small hole In the skin and did not reduce a large portion ot the nearby tissues to pulp, as Is the case In a soft bullet that mushrooine In animal tissue after It hits a bone 1 think the bundle of papers checked It and the spectacle case for some reason failed to spread the bullet much "The wound Is about big enough to put your finger In at the surface and It does not appear to get very much bigger. I would call It a clean wound. "The skin Is torn at the surface In a ragged way, but not badly, and there Is little bruising. Wound In Good Condition. "There Is not a sign of suppuration In the wound. The flesh is In good condition and seems to be healing without any evidence of complication If there were pus forming deep In the wound we would know It at once by an unusual rise of temperature." Dr. McCauley added that It Is cer tian from the X-ray pictures that the bullet has not entered or touched the pleural cavity, removing a grave pos sibility In the case. He pointed out the normal condition of the patient as Indicated by the otfl clal chart. Dr. McCauley'R statement was giver after leaving the colonel's room and after a consultation with the other sur geons. He confirmed previous an nouncements that no attempt would he made at prcsimt to remove the bullet, which is not expected to hinder the healing of the fractured rib. "This case," he added, "will not he like that of the late President McKIn ley, whose sudden hope less turn took the public by surprise. There Is noth Ing to be ex pected here, but If any thing In the way of dangerous symp toms do develop they will be made public nt once." Taft Closely Guarded. New York, Oct. 17. On his way to the railroad station to take a train for Worcester, Mass., President Taft was closely guarded by secret service men and a squad of police. In ndditlon, a numher of detectives followed him In n automobile.

Milwaukee, Oct. 17. John Schrank would-be slayer of Theodore Roose velt, showed no remorse for his attack nor fear for the consequences. He had a good night's rest In a coll at the county Jail, to wblch he was trans ferred after being arraigned In the district, court. The Democracy o' Death. In the democracy of the de.ul all men nt last ure j u.ti. There is nei ther rank nor htiuliug nor preroga tive lu the icpuliiie of the tlnve. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise, and the sung of the poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his millions and Lazarus his rugs. The jor man is as rich as thejjjeh&t, and the rich man Is as poor as tin1 pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor Is acquitted of bis obligation. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worldling his pler.sures. The invalid needs no physician, and the lnlwver rests from unrequited toll. Here at last Is nature's linal degree- in equity. The wrongs of time are redressed, in justice Is expiated, the irony of fate la refuted, the unequal distribution of wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and opportunity which makes life so cruel and inexplicable ceases in the realm of death. The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest captain suc cumbs to that Invineilile adversary, who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished. John J. lngalls. Beauty Five Centuries Ago. They have dug up an old beauty book In Italy, published Tioo years ago. which laid down the following rules of the game: "To be beautiful," says ):e work, "the women must have the following: Three white things-skin, hands and teeth. Three black things eyes, eye lashes and eyebrows. Three pink things lips, gums and wills. Three long things life, hands and hair. Three short things-teeth, ears and tongue. Three wide things forehead, shoulders and Intelligence. Three nar row things waist, mouth and ankle. Three delicate things fingers, lips and mind. Three round things arm, leg and dowry." Things haven't changed so much In five centuries, hnve they? Or, let us say, that woman's beauty Is Immortal and immutable. Albany Tlnies-l'nlnn. A Thoughtful French Wife. Weary of life, a farmer went out to his barn and hanged himself. A little later his wife, entering the bam to feed some anlmiils, saw her huKbaud swinging from the rafters. Arguing that If, as It was natural to think, her husband intended to commit suicide be would be exasperated by the frustra tion of his Intention, she left the liody as It was and went on with the work of the farm. Several hours later in the evening, when her daughter came back from the fields, the woman told her what had happened. Mother and daughter deliberated for some time as to what ought to be done and finally decided to inform the mayor. When that official came in haste and cut down the body life had been extinct for several hours. Iondon Telegraph. A Bird Performer.
