W PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. ;study of the character of Theodore Urtoeevelt in his devotion to public af­ fairs will be found interesting and pro­ fitable to any one who undertakes it. Mr. Roosevelt has accepted offices of different degrees of prominence and im­ portance not for the mere sake of hold­ ing office nor for its glamour or the no­ toriety it affords, but with keen enjoy­ ment because of the opportu-ities it has afforded him for carrying into effect some of his ideas of what the individual may accomplish in public affairs and for the public weal who has taken the pains to educate and train himself for that pur­ pose. While at college, and immediately following that period Mr. Roosevelt de­ voted himself to acquiring information which would best fit him for usefulness in applying himself to public affairs. Not necessarily as a public official, but through any means that he might be able to employ to make his influence felt in public affairs. With his school days scarcely over he became a writer on topics pertaining to public affairs of snch force that his writings immediately Attracted attention and it was not long until the man began to get the same re­ cognition that his writings had received. The most sterling honesty, the most in­ tense love and admiration for his coun­ try; doubtless were in-bred traits of the young Roosevelt, but he developed them , rather than permit them to diminish in any degree. There is no falsity about Theodore Roosevelt; no scheming or trickery. His is an open character that will deceive no one, applied as it may be either in pri- . vate or public affairs, and it is not sur prising that a man of his acquirements and ability, possessing snch a character, should attract the attention of his fellows and that he should be entrusted with the management of affaiis in which they held common interest. He has : been willing to accept the distinction of public life; doubtless it has been a grati­ fication to him and, in a measure he may have courted it, but office has sought Theodore Roosevelt more than he has sought office. Up to the point where he became president it was not by chance or accident that he attained the important public positions he had held. They came to him because of his especial fitness to fill them anl because of the faith which those had in him who were instrumental in bestowing office upon him. It was through a deplorable event which yet wrings the hearts of a whole nation that Mr. Roosevelt became pres­ ident, but in the lamentable emergency the people are glad and proud that the high honor has descended upon suc^ a man. Almost with certainty it flfiiy bc^ said that in the natural order of events Mr. Roosevelt would have be­ come the next president of the United States. To that high office he will de­ vote his best energies, his rugged hon­ esty and his assiduous labor. It affords him the greatest possible opportunity to work out the ideals he has conceived and for which he has been in training since his youth --devotion to his country through the means of a public career. It is exalted ambition, but it will be ex- ercised by Theodore Roosevelt without disappointment to his fellow country­ men.--State Journal. THERE is ho eternal truth more CLEAR than this, that the world owes most to the |nan who is able by his brain and brawn to honestly wrest the most from it He deserves most not only because he can win it but because he can also best take care of it He who denies this is an incompetant weakling ex­ pecting society to do for him what he does not deserve to have done--expect­ ing others to do for him what he does not do for others or for himself.-- Cleveland world. PROBATE NEWS THE CUBANS NOW GRATEFUL. The Cuban convention, which has Jpcen engaged in creating a form of government for the island, has com­ pleted its work and announces its readi­ ness for dissolution. A constitution hits been framed alike acceptable to the Cubans and to the American authori ties. Probably from inexperience as to the inconveniences, expenses and gener­ al undesirableness of too frequent elec­ tions the convention made constitution at provision for six general elections annually, but this was readily remedied When defeat was pointed out to the members of the convention. They ac­ cepted the advice given them without ^Contention and with apparent apprecia­ te. • There was a time when the Cubans ' Appeared to be affected by some of the gratuitous admonitions of the self- Styled "anti-imperialists" and "anti- OZpansionists" in this country, and their suspicions were arronsed that they were jn danger of being outraged by the American government, but, fortunately Wider the wise, friendly and skillful guidance of President McK^nley, ably hacked by those in authority friendly to his excellent administration, the deceived Cnbans were taught who were their true friends. Their confidence Was secured and, in turn, they imposed A 'frilbnfidence in the United States govern­ ment, and now with • that government for their model and protection, they are teady to launch one of their own. Prom .' that government they will be accorded - all desired advice and assistance in the of conducting one off their own, and A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kid­ neys. His back got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions. No remedy helped him until he tried Elec­ tric Bitters which effected such a won­ derful change that he writes he feels like a new man. This marvelous medi­ cine cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies the blood and builds up your health. Only 50c at Julia A. Story's Drug Store.* BABBEVILtE. Thos.

This store is sitnated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and' about twenty-five miles from the near­ est town. Mr. > Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within A radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than four­ teen haye been absoutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley.
