The former president,' in the mis

comments upon the characteristics
Suid personalities of kings, emperors
ind other eminent personages wun
jn'hom he came in contact," and -in the
J'Pening- paragraph requested that it
should not be made public "until long
after all of us who are now alive are
Jead." Trevelyan, in authorizing its
publication, said: "I do not hesitate

ould be much the richer for it. The
times are such that the human inter
est and solid value of this wonderful

J The colonel drew an intimate pic
lure of British rule in Egypt, praised
It on the whole and declared that the
Jask of "superimposing the 20th cen
tury upon the seventh" was a mighty

It is a high and honorable thing to

Jind the reason Roosevelt was not pre
sented to Pope Piux X. A certain
Methodist clergyman in Rome had
keen conducting an attack upon the
Jiead of the Catholic church and when
Vice-President Fairbanks, some time
jbefore, visited the holy city the su
preme pontiff stipulated that he would
Jiot receive him in audience if he ad
Jlressed Methodist gatherings. Roose
volt took the same attitude as Fair
banks, that he "must decline to submit
to any conditions which in any way
Jimit my freedom of conduct.'
" The colonel said in his letter to Sir
George that one' of his volunteer sec
retaries at that time was "anxious to
prevent the Vatican from committing
what he felt wouW be a great blun
fler," and while the colonel was at
Naples went to Rome to see the then
papal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val. The stipulation by the
Ipope was not withdrawn and Cplonel
Roosevelt adhered to his resolution
f making no agreement to refrain
from speaking before Methodist meet
ings. "Accordingly," he wrote, "I
.was not presented at the Vatican."
Rulrra Generally Likeable.
In a public statement at the time
the colonel declared trrat "the respect
and regard those of my fellow
Americans who are Catholics are as
'dear to me as the respect and regard
;of those who are Protestants," and he
.expressed the hope that the incident
Jwould be treated as a merely personal
matter without rancor or bitterness,
j! While in Rome the colonel visited
'King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
'-.Helena of Italy, whom ho described
'as "faithful, conscientious and wise"
as well as a lovable couple. Later

PITTSBURG, Feb. 7. Sprouting nat
ural gas at the rate of almost 100,000,
OOofcubic feet a day, the Snake Hollow
field not yet four months old, has
already made a large number of per
sons comfortably rich, while some
thousands - of others are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of -their sub
terranean gamble in more than 200
wells where the drills are kept going
day and night.
The development, which became ap
parent when a strong flow of gas
blew off the top of a derrick on Sep
tember 22. last, covers no more than
100 acres of town lots in the outskirts
of the thriving little cjty of McKees-
port, 16 miles from Pittsburg. Efforts
are being made by important oil and
gas interests to extend the field. If
these test wells, now being drilled.

to the gas producing territory of Al
legheny county will have been found.
If they are "dusters," geologists say,
it will not be long until Snake Hollow
will be a thing of the past, and
dreams of wealth be nothing more
than a memory.

tural gas at the well, was 1600 pounds
to the square inch when the first well
came in. This pressure, experts say,
has now been reduced to 500 pounds.

beginning to decline. However, there
are some 20 good wells in the field
and every well which reaches the

founri. comes in a gusher good for
5,000.000 to 10,000,000 cubic feet. This
cannot last for the wells are drilled so
closo together that the pool will be
exhausted very soon unless it is found
to extend over a much wider area
than that now producing.
But while it lasts Snake Hollow is
taking on all the features of a boom
district where fortunes are made
over night. Steep hillside lots which
six months ago could have been
bought for a song have sold for $10,
000 and leases covering spaces not big
enough to hold a drilling equipment
have brought half that sum. Churches
have ' leased their back yards, and
schools have given over their play
grounds to the driller for a consider
ation. In one instance the township
board of education leased a school
property, getting J5000 down and 30
per cent of what the drill might find.
The lease of an amusement park was
sold for $160,000. A year ago the I
land, surface and all that might be
under it, could have been bought for
$300 an acre.
The amount of money already in
vested in the field is placed by bank
ers at $20,000,000. This is due to the
high cost of everything, from drilling
which reaches about $20,000 a well to

HELSINGFORS, Feb. 7. If it be
comes possible for the United States to
feed the people of Petrograd this win
ter. Captain John C. Miller of the
United States army medical corps ex
pects to be the man on the job. He is
the representative at Reval of the
American relief administration and
for some time has been in charge of
the children's relief work now being
conducted in Finland and the Baltic
region.
When General Judenitch'B army
seemed about to capture the besieged
city Captain Miller had planned to
proceed to Petrograd as soon as the
city fell and to receive there the food
to be shipped in from Viborg and
Revel and arrange for its immediate
distribution.
Lieutenant I. W. Wahren of Boston,
who also was engaged in the work of
feeding 90.000 young Finnish bene
ficiaries of the American mission, also
was ready to go to Petrograd. He
planned to go by motor from Viborg,
which is pearly 60 miles distant.
American relief supplies were load
ed on barges ready to start for the
Russian port. Movement of these
supplies by water to Petrograd might
prove a hazardous undertaking, owing
to the large number of mines still in
the gulf, particularly in the narrow
neck-like approach to Petrograd. Be
yond Bjorko, where a large fleet of
British warships is protected from
submarines and drifting mines by
net, the channel Is believed to be full
of explosives, Russian and Esthonian,
supplemented by those the bolshevlsts
have placed.
i ne J- inns nave swept their own
coast of mines, but their trawlers
were unable to clear the deep waters.
A number of vessels have been sunk
with considerable loss of life. Near
v iborg 20 persons were killed recent
ly. ne mine wnicn was washed up
on ivipper Rock, near . Vivorg, com
pletely wrecked the lighthouse there.
Finnish seafaring men tell a
strange' tale of the Russian mines,
which, they say. differ from all others
in that as soon as one is cut another
rises to take its place .and still
other after the second is removed. It
is believed that only a few of these
Russian mines have been destroyed
and that probably not even the bol
shevlsts themselves have- discovered
the secret of their location.

A WOMAN'S HEALTH
Ever' woman's health is peculiarly
dependent upon the condition of her
blood. How many women suffer from
headache, pain in the back, poor ap
petite, weak digestion, a constant
feeling of weariness, palpitation of
the heart, shortness of breath, pallor
and nervousness? If you have any of
these symptoms, do not despair of
getting better, but begin now, today,
to build up your blood with Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills. See how the nerv
ous energy of the body is restored as
the blood becomes pure and red and
the entire system is strengthened to
meet every demand upon it.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are useful
for all women, but they are particu
larly valuable to girls of school age
who show symptoms of going into a
decline, who become pale, nervous and
languid. These pills aid in securing
perfect development and health by
strengthening the system and purify
ing and Duiiaing up tne blood. Thin
blood during the growing years of a
girl's life usually means a flat-chested
and hollow-cheeked womanhood. There
can be neither health nor beauty
without red blood, which gives bright
ness to the eyes and color to cheeks
and lips.
A booklet, "Building Up the Blood."
which tells all about this treatment,

' FALL' RIVER. Mass!, Feb.. 7. (Spe
cial.) Guy L. Spiker.'who is to marry
Emily Knowles, mother of'Lfeutenant
Perley A. Spiker's tour-months baby,
arrived here unexpectedly today from
Baltimore. He got as far as Provi
dence last night by the express from
Washington, but not in time to make
connections for this city.
-He immediately called -at .'the city
hall and talked with Joseph F.'Dele
hanty, assistant city clerk, who filled
out Spiker's application for a mar
riage license Thursday night, when an
unsuccessful effort was made to have
the five-day limit, law waived in order
that the marriage might take place
at once. ,
Under the law the marriage license
will be issued to Spiker tomorrow
morning. Probably he will be mar
ried directly after that, although he
said today that no hour had been set,
nor a clergyman engaged to perform
the ceremony. He said he expected
to leave for New York City Sunday
night with his wife and that he would
go directly to Baltimore, where he
would set up housekeeping apart
from his brother and wife.
