He did not deem himself the sole reliance of the Republic. The spirit of a Caesar or a Cromwell was not within him. No greed for despotism led him astray. He raised no Irreverent hand against the altar of the National sanctuary. Its Constitution and tts courts. He aroused no mad confusion or chaos. He was an architect of con cord, not discord.

An Interesting and potentially Impor tant study Is announced by the depart ment of Industrial research of the fnl vcrsity of Pittsburg. a study of the moke problem from the broadest point of view, with recognition of all Its relations, technical, economic and legal. The chief lines of Investigation so far laid out. each to be carried on by one or more specialists, are the engineering spects of smoke production and smoke prevention: the effects of smoke on health, plant life and buildlncs: In creased cost of living due to damage and dirt, and the legal questions aris ing out of the conditions of smoke pro. iluttion. By co-ordtnaiton these va rious researches It Is hoped to fix the status of the problem In Its various phases on a scientific basis. The dis position of engineers probably has been to underestimate the seriousness of the waste caused bv smoke because of Its relative Insignificance from the point nf Tlew of power generation. It Is the effects experienced by the community, rather than by the smoke producer, fiat are Important how Important. It remains for this research effort to es tablish.

AS I was about to board a car last Saturday for quick transit to the ball game, awaiting said car at the corner of Tenth and Washington, I was tapped on the off shoulder with a gentle touch that micht almost be called a caress. Turning around. I Kaxed Into the soulful eyes of the widow, the widow from Pippin street, the Jolly widow who resides. . lives, domiciles and resides on Pippin street. Now the widow Is an old friend of mine, an old and valued friend. Do not understand from that the widow Is old! Oh. dear, no. The widow will never be old. tf course she Is older ur rather not so young as she was when I first met with and wooed her some few odd years agone. more or leu. But she doea not look It. fhe looked younger Saturday than she did the first day I met her. for with a mir ror before her and the make-up box with Its cosmetlnues t never common cosmetics), she, the widow, la a won der. lie kaiana Her Age. AVhen I met her first she "fcsed up to l years, to H Sprints and Is Sum mer.". I old not question her about the Winters, but perhaps she would. If pressed, have acknowledged the Win ters also or some of them. Of course I know Just how old. or rather how youn? she really Is. even knowing the year and day of her birth. And to make matters worse, for the widow, she knows that 1 know, and furthermore, she knows that 1 know she knows. On Saturday the "widow, as Is her custom, was dressed In the most styl ish and fashionable apparel. My first glance took In one of those wonderful hats that has a brim large enough to shield a cock of hay from the rain and yet she held In her hand a parasol so dainty that It would not protect a mosquito from the dew. From the rim of her modish plum-colored dress I mean gown, peeped out a delicate pink satin shoe, and In the shoe. In addition to her tootsy wootsy foot, there was a silk hose of the same delicate pink I guessed. As a wrap she had one of those bnth towel arranged coats or do they call them by such a common rameT Anyhow It seemed to be wrapped around her form like a drapery, and win fastened with one pearl button about the sixe of a saucer. But the widow can be seen on Wash ington street on any fine afternoon, so why take up time and space by fur ther elucidstion? Widow la Cualdrit. We boarded the car and In due course were at the ball park, arriving Just In time to see the ball thrown by Old Bill Kapps miscue- at first, and a moment later two of the Oakland bunch came romping and cavorting over the home rubber. It was pain ful to me, painful and heartrending to a thousand other fans, but the widow never batted an eye. (She said It was all In the day's .chances and we would win sure, sure. And she offered to wa ger me a plate of Icecream against a half dozen pairs of kid gloves that wa would. I did not take the bet. know ing that I would have to pay for the l.ecream even if 1 won. 1 have bet with the widow before. Just then 1 happened to glance at the wldow"s hair. At least I suppose It ia hers. Anyhow she has possession of It. And it was. perhnpa still Is red! Not exactly red; aort of Schenec tady color, which, as everybody knows. Is Just beyond Auburn. Now during my long acquaintance with the widow I had never before known her to wear red hair. I have known her to ap pear in auburn, chestnut, bay, black and Great Jewhillikins! Here Is that fel low llowley slamming at the ball like a demon and sending It cavorting, sail ire;, flying over towards the pipe works, clean and clear out of the lot for a homer! "Hurrah," yelled the wid ow, "hurrah for llowley, hurrah for the Beavers!" And then she remarked that Mr. Howley was the very image of her first husband. I did not dispute It. although 1 knew her first husband never drew any prises in beauty shows. However, here comes Howley marching home with a man ahead of him and the score Is tied! "If we can tie we con win." quoth 1. "Win," replied the widow, "win? W"e have already won." Surprises la Seventh. Then came three innings of nothing doing on the score board, but In the seventh there were bumps and sur prises enough to Inst the ordinary fan a whole season. In our half we made two runs, and when the first two Oak landers up were disposed of the widow remarked. "It is too easy!" And then she confided to me that Gllllgan. who was pitching such fine ball, was the perfect Image of her second husband. As I never met No. I. I made no re sponse. And had I wished to 1 had no time, for here go marching to first base, and the other bases, one, two, three-and finally four, forcing; a man home when something happened to the Image of No. two. and he was rele gated to the barn. L'p came Stciger to take his place. "Now," said the widow, "now you will see some pitching, for here comes a wonder. My third husband played on the same team with Mr. Stelger and has him doped out as one of the com ing big leaguers." What happened to Stelger by then and there delivering four wide ones Is known to history. But he pitched only four, four and no more but four were sufficient to tie the score. And the widow was silent, moreover, she was mad. And perhaps others shared her feelings. In goes Temple to save the day, and he stopped the run-getting then and there but the score was again tied. In the Beavers" half this Mr. Temple was the first man up, and say! What he did to the first ball pitched to him was a sin and a shame, for he sent It clear over to North Tortland. where. If reports are correct. It broke a pane of glass put of the office of the stock yards, and we were again In the lead with Temple the hero of the day. the widow remarking that Mr., Temple In many, ways reminded her of her fourth husband, who was not a ball player, but a great lover of the game. I won dered If she meant a game called "Mar ry In i the Widow." but said nothing, only wondering if I had any resem blance to No. 6. With the score tied Mr. MeCredie'a boys held the Oaks runless In the ninth, and hen our boys went In to win or die! And they won on a beautiful slam by Old Bill Rapps. As the ball went salllrg out Into the left dooryard the widow asked me If I knew Mr. Rapps. if I knew whether he is married, sin gle or on the bias.

CARNEGIE CHEERFUL AT 76 Hiohs, with J-Jlatton, tne iropmes , on His Wall.. New York Sun. - Andrew Carnegie felt good. It was his 76th birthday, and he trotted re porters around his library his home library and pointed out the trophies on Its walls. One of them was verses given him at an authors' dinner a few years ago. "When I went over to Skibo." said Mr. Carnegie, "I was Just aching for a chance to recite those verses to King Kdward. My chance came when the King called at Skibo. I asked him if he wanted to hear the greatest poem of modem days, and then I started reading: "Hall, fat King Ned." "He started and said. 'That's me." I laughed and said. 'That's you. Listen: '"Hail, fighting Ted.' " 'That's Roosevelt,' said King Ed ward. Then I read on: But I'd rather twist Carnegie's wrist. The open hand In this hard lis'. Than hake hands with you all. "The King agreed that It was a great poem," said Mr. Carnegie. The trust problem, Mr. Carnegie said, is very simple. There must be an in dustrial court to fix maximum prices. Just as the Interstate Commerce Com mission fixes maximum rates for rail roads, subject to change as conditions change. Until the court Is established nothing has been accomplished. "The country needs to take the bull by the horns. The present court pro ceedings are fuss and feathers." added the birthday celebrant. He said he and Colonel Roosevelt were agreed about an Industrial com mission. "But the contributing edi tor's articles are confused. He splurges. I tell him to his face, 'Mr. Roosevelt, you're a great man, but you splurge. Say what you mean once and let it go at that.'" Mr. Carnegie Is "dead sure" President Taft will be re-elected and that it will be a disgrace to the country if he Isn't. Talk of Colonel Roosevelt running Is absurd, yi Mr. Carnegie's opinion. Mr. Carnegie advised his interviewers to marry young. On 25 a week? That s prinfcely! . . "Although," he said, "I m glad 1 waited and got the chief priae of all the women of earth." He let it be known that his motto Is "All Is well since all grows better," which ho composed himself. Ho went on: "Man was born with wretched pas sions and he is growing more angelic Man, I say. As for woman, I feel like the boy in Sunday school who was asked what was necessary before one could be forgiven. 'Why, to sin," re plied the boy. That applies to the women I know.
