cratlo votes to some Independent repub
lican. There Is ne member of congress who la
certain to be subjected to all of the
troubles which a waiter can, Inflict on a
person who cats In a fashionable restau
rant. He Is Representative Arthur Phillips
Murphy of the Sixteenth Missouri district.
Every waiter In Washington has the In
dian sign on Mr. Murphy and they 'have
sworn to make hln ! !' miserable every
time ha dines away f: cr.i home. Tho reason
is because Mr. Murphy has sonic decided
views about tho propriety of the great
American public being called upon to pay
toll to the waiters after it has paid a
fancy price to the hotel proprietor.
Mr. Murphy's convictions on this subject
are so deep seated that he has been trying
for years to get a bill through congress
making the practice of tipping unlawful.
Members of the committees to which these
bills have been referred usually have a lot
of fun with them, but they never get within
a thousand miles of being enacted into law.
Mr. Murphy's antagonism to the tipping
system Is said to be due to his knowledge
of the value of each and every penny
which comes Into his possession. He has
reached his present position only because
of a bulldog determination. Ha began life
on a farm and worked as a farmhand
from sunup until sundown. When he had
developed sufficiently to engage In harder
work he - found employment as a section
hand. After working out on the road all
day Murphy atudled telegraphy at night
and finally got a Job as telegraph operator
and filled that place so well that he waa
made train dispatcher.
When he' waa not engaged in plotting
the routing of trains In Missouri he was
studying law and was admitted to prac
tice In 1894. Murphy still finds use for the
fighting qualities which made it possible
for him to desert the railroad for congress,
for his district Is so close that he considers
himself lucky It he geta at majority of
209 or 300. '
cooking It as Hamburg steak, a dish almost
aa palatable aa the best cuts of the more
expensive beet may be obtained. ; In such
cases, however. It la desirable because of
the low percentage of fat to add suet or
butter to tha meat. The reason for this
Is that in tha cooking the water, of the
Juice when unprotected by . fat evaporates
too quickly and leave the meat dry. This
may be prevented by adding egg aa well
as fat, for the albumen of the egg hardons
quickly and tends to keep in the Juices.
The' proportion should be one egg to one
and one-half pounds ot meat.

"If you don't get an early start the best

The Ideal life In religion, politics, busi

only grants peace to the toller, and It only
scores deep enough to preclude effacement
Others may leave shapely foot prints upon
the sands of time, but It leaves them In
the cooling rock which grows more re
tentive as the years die. Dissipated energy

fringing sedges, only succeeds in filling the
district with malaria. Send the waters
down the narrow channel and they are
purified, turn them Into tho flume and they
speed away to minister to the parched low
lands, or dropping into the great turbine
they send belts and wheels flying, beneath
HgTit created by its power. Light and power
take the place of disease germs. The sun
light falling In mellow spray over the
world, begets a flame when focussed. The
air la charged with electricity, but the
world trembles only with the crash of a
thunderbolt. Gunpowder exploded In open
might please a child , with Its flash, but
confined it shatters a granite boulder.
In us there are mightier forces, moral, in
tellectual, spiritual, but they operate ac
cording to similar great laws. Wreckage
strews all the coast line of life since lives
are not compressed, concentrated. Lofty
ambitions are vital in the problem, but
they come to nothing till work pins them
down to. earth.
Exuberant life must be harnessed to some
one calling before the work-a-day world
gets any relief with Us burden.
We feel sorry for the broad-minde'd man
who sees so much good In all forms of re
ligion that he refuses to adopt any. He is
so well disposed toward all that he refuses
to open his shop and see about his business.
There are many good- things about this be

that, ao he permits the Bhole to pass away
as some sort of a collection gathered for
his inspection. Need .he be surprised when
he comes to the end of his years that he
finds himself envious ot tha bigot, who, at
least, accomplished one thing. His ability
may be marked, his knowledge extensive,
his charity world wide, but heart and
hands are empty.
Over against such efforts the heroic life
of Paul stands In perpetual rebuke. ' Where
gained) he the power to mark the ages as
the great lee cap has engravd our counti

did."
Across the vision swings that great Paul

"One thine do." Facts of life, are seers of
God.
Viewed on tha outward side, there never
was such a busy life certainly: ' Born at

visiting cards have undergone a trifling
change and are the merest shade smaller

When Theodore Roosevelt reaches New
Tork next week he will be accorded a
welcome such as has been given to few
moral men. It has been with the greatest
difficulty that the committee has kept
the demonstration within the limits im
posed by the physical conditions of New
York City, the second lartieat town on
earth. Mr. Roosevelt will set foot on the
s.ill of his native land to be grevted by the
cheers of hundreds of thousands of his
fellow-countrymen who desire him to be
come a candidate for piesident in 1912.
Hundreds of thousands who do not desire
him to be a candidate will admit that he
can have the presidency again for the
asking. Other hundreds ot thousands say
he cannot, even if he will.
General U. S. Grant came home from a
trip around the world and waa greeted
with a third-term boom. He was defeated
In tho republican national convention of
1880 In spite of the fact that his followers
were captained by the superb Conkling
and in spite of the fact tliut the "Immortal
306" stood faithful to the end.
Admiral George Dewey came home from
the victorious battle of Manila Hay and
was greeted as few Roman conquerors
were greeted. He listened to the bussing
of the presidential bee and, with the speed
of a Lucifer, fell to a place of comparative
obscurity.
William Jennings Bryan returned from
a trip around the world and was greeted
at New York by the ever enthusiastic
legions of the democratic party with con
fident predictions that ho would be nomi
nated the third time for president and
would be elected. He was nominated,
but not elected. Many democrats believe
that his defeat was due In some measure
to the speech hich he made at Madison
Square garden in acknowledging his home
coming reception. '
William Howard Taft came home from
a trip around the world, undertaken under
orders from President Roosevelt when
Taft already was a candidate for the
presidency. There waa no general popular
reception, but Mr. Taft found upon reach
ing Washington that sappers and miners
had taken advantage of his absence to try
to explode his boom. Mr. Taft made some
very positive Ftatetnents and' did some
very positive things that Sunday. Among
the results may be mentioned the admitted
facts that Mr. Taft is now president of the
United States, and Mr. George B. Cortel
you Is in private life. But the Taft home
coming was not the occasion of a popular
demonstration.
The record of General Grant, Admiral
Dewey and Mr. Bryan goes to prove that
It Is a highly dangerous thing to subject
a presidential boom to the haxards of
travel In foreign lands and then bring It
home to bo the object of a hip-hlp-hurrah
mass meeting at the steamer docks. No
great presidential boom has yet survived
this treatment.
Since it is- given to no Vnan to say what
Is In the mind of Theodore Roosevelt, it
cannot be said what he thinks of his third
term boom. Yet everybody admits that
there Is such a thing and that It has Its
roots in the soli of the whole country.
'Will it survive the herolo experience of a
great homecoming? Or will It go the
way of the booms attached to the trains
of Grant, Dewey and Bryan T
The Grant third-terms boom was
launched in the great enthusiasm of his
welcome home at San Francisco. It was
wrecked on the rock, of precedent George
Washington refused a third term and no
man has been able to overcome the force
ot that declination, Mr. . Roosevelt, If he
is again elected, will have what Is prac
tically a third term, although it will be
what Senator Bourne calls a "second
elective term." '
The Dewey boom was born 1n desperation
of the defeated and divided democratic
party. It died of too much cuddling. The
moment the gallant admiral admitted that
he entertained the notion, that moment the
boom collapsed. WIbb politicians now say
that the only possible way to kill the
Ropsevelt boom Is for the colonel himself
to appear to be over-anxious. There Is
nothing In his past record to Indicate that
Roosevelt is capable of such a gross tac
tical error.
The Bryan third nomination boom was
born the day Alton B. Parker was defeated
for president and reached high-tide when
he was given the third nomination at Den
ver In 1908. His home coming and his Madi
son square garden speech in 1906 affected
rather his chances for election than his
chances for nomination. The explosion of
the Bryan boom is harder to account for
then the others, since Mr. Bryan had ex
pressed his opinion about government

his chances for the presidency. The ex

moment when the whole country wss eager
for some message of power from tho Ne
bruskun caused the political disaster.
Colonel Roosevelt Is nothing If he Is not
a destroyer of precedent. It was a tra
dition supported by history, that a man
elected vice president who succeeded to
the presidency on the death of the presl
dent could not be elected to the chief mag
Ifcracy on his own account. Mr. Tyler,
Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Arthur
had tried it and failed. Mr. Roosevelt tiled
It and did not full. This Is but one of the
thousands of precedents broken by Colonel
Roosevelt, both at home and abroad. He
niHy break other.
When Generwl Grant returned to tho
United States from his long trip, he found
at San Francisco a welcome which, he said,
surpassed In Its heartiness any ovation he
had up to that time received. His progress
around the world was a continuous serins
of ovations. Whether in Asia or in Europe,
he was everywhere greeted by vast throngs
who recognised In him a great war
rior and a late head of one of the earth's
mightiest nations. When ho reached San
Francisco, it was assorted that during hia
lifetime he had seen more human beings
than any other man in the history ot tho
race. During his service In the army, ho
had seen millions of people, and during his
terms In the White House he had seen othmr
millions. No one ever attempted to approxi
mate the aggregate else of the throngs
that had greeted him on his world tour.
The. people of San Francisco stood on the
tiptoe of expectancy while awaiting the
appearance of the steamer City of Toklo
In the harbor of the Goldon Gate, for there
was no wireless In those days to proclaim
the approach of tho distinguished traveler.
Kvery hotel In the city was thionged with
visitors from the east, arid tho shipping la
the harbor was gaily bedecked for the oc
casion, as was also the city itself. When
the ship was sighted his son, U. S. Grant,
jr., went abroad a tug and accompanied
the reception committee down the bay.' He
was the first American to greet the dis
tinguished traveler. General Grant had
taken his son Fred with him, Just as Col
onel Roosevelt had. Kermlt to accompany
him. The nearest approach to big gamo
hunting General Grant made was when
Fred went boar shooting In the wilds ot
India. General Grant was away almost
twice as long as Colonel Roosevelt haa
been.
The return of Admiral Dewey In the fall
of 1899 represents the most spectacular
homecoming America has ever seen. Not
only did New York City outdo Itself, but
It inspired the . whole nation to take up
the refrain. In more than 200 cities can
non boomed a welcome to the victor of
Manila bay. It was estimated that during
the two days of the great celebration vis
itors to the metropolis . spent 126,000,000.
One of the features of the celebration was
the great naval review. Here Admiral
Dewey was in command of the largest
fleet that had ever gathered under tho
American flag. The land parade was mors
than seven miles long. The Dewey tri
umphal arch was modeled after the great
arch of Titus built in Rome to commem
orate the fall of Jerusalem. The figure of
Peace on this arch was a representation of
a blacksmith, and Robert Fltsslmmons,
then In. the heyday of tils career as a
prize fighter, posed for the figure.
Mr. Bryan's trip around the world was
another scries of ovations. Greater honors
were paid to htm 'Jian ever have been
given to any man who has never held high
office. When he returned to New York
his reception, although participated in
mainly by democrats, was the greatest
demonstration ever given In America to m
mere private citizen. General Grant was a
war hero and had been president for two
terms. Colonel Roosevelt stilt Is "Presi
dent Roosevelt" on the tongues of mil
lions. Mr. Bryan mado little reputation
in his short service in congress. He was
a twice defeated candidate for the presi
dency when he was welcomed home from
his great tour; and now he has been de
feated once again.
j The Roosevelt reception will set a new
record in the demonstrations accorded to
private citizens. The Dewey welcome was
In the nature Of a military triumph and Is
not to be compared with the others, Py
lltlcal history will bs enriched no -doubt
by what the colonel has to say upon his
return to his own, his native land.

The Tennis
Girl,
When; with a mild, Inquiring air,
Raising a racket here and there,
Her partner looked at her and said,
'Ah, forty, love?' her cheek grew red.
It seems he must have told some sort
Of truth upon the tennis court,
"When Jared Green, our hired man,
While we're at lunch tries If he can
Play at the game first thing ws know
A tennis ball at Jarod's blow
Breaks through the window, loops the loop,
And lands with splashes In the soup.
Buys Jared, 'Gueea I hadn't ort
To do that on the tennis court,
"When father plays the gamo with me '
It's always on a wager see?
He's surs to, lose, and I'm content
With gloves or candles. When I've spent
My month's allowance I am glad
To play a winning game with Dad.
Who murmurs sadly, 'Well, my rofiAi
Is not upon tho tennis court.' "

Who regards his cigars, drinks and other
