Chicago, Dec 20. "As far as I know, Colonel Roosevelt Is not a candidate for president' said Medlll McCormlck, progressive leader, ar riving here today from tbe east, where he had conferred with the bull moose leader. At the same time, be denied that the Florentine room at the Congress hotel bad been reserved by him as a rally place for the col onel and his cohorts, lie reserved, however, 20 rooms for Colonel Fred erick, Hale, Maine's republican com mitteeman. "In three states Roosevelt has re fused to allow his name to be present ed to the primaries," said McCor mlck. "I do not think it possible that anybody will stampede the O. O. P. convention." . Congressman Johnson of Washing ton commented: ' "Most Roosevelt followers were so opposod to big business in 1912 that they were willing to see the demo crats go into office and destroy not only big but little business as well. None can say how the bull moosers will view the sight of Roosevelt at a conference with steel barons (the Gary dinner)." , Chicago, Dec. 20. Belief, that Colonel Roosevelt will participate In the forthcoming presidential cam paign gained ground today when it was admitted that bis friends had taken an option on tha Florentine room of the Congress hotel for the period of the republican national convention here next June. It was believed here that rallies will be held previously. Tho option expires tomorrow. Meantime Medlll McCormlck Is speeding westward af ter a conference with Roosevelt According to a politician who has seen Roosevelt within a month, his position Is: , He is not a candidate hlniBclf un der any circumstances. If the republicans nominate a man connected with the "theft fn Chi cago" which resulted In the forma tion of the bull moose faction, the colonel will fight that candidate and the party. He will support a man of the "Cummins type" if nominated by the republicans. He will strongly oppose President Wilson under all circumstances. . ; "I do not think that Burton, Root jor Weeks will satisfy him," said the .politician. "Possibly Borah would, though. I do not xpect Roosevelt to make a publlo statement for sever al m on the." I ,Giv".r7 Cue Credit. ' "Willie.

One may be a speckled trout In the country and a codfish iu tbe city, ac cording to an observer, who believes that many country boys would do well to stay at home. "A farmer," be said, "ouoo caught a 'One speckled trout which he decided to present to bis aunt in the city. Ac cordingly, be wrapped It in green leaves and placed It iu a basket In tbe body of the wugou. As be stopped for refreshment at a roadside tavern some mischievous boys took a codfish from a nearby grocery stall and substituted It for the finny beauty. .Arriving lit the city, be presented the fish to his aunt 'What do you mean 7 she cried. This Isn't a trout; It'a a codfish. "Rather crestfallen, be ,100k it back, but on the road tbe boys again made a substitution, and when be showed the fish to his wife It was a speckled trout She llstenod to his tale with an amused smile.-'Yes.v she said finally. It's like you-a speckled trout la tbe country and a codfish in town.' '.'-Ex change,.1' ,- ' ' v . ; ,, ' .

Is this bit of sea description: v "Tbe sea is not a lovable monster. And monster it is. It is beautiful, tbe sea, always beautiful in one way or another, but it Is cruel and unmindful of tbe life tbat is In It and upon it It was cruel Inst evening in tbe lurid low sunset that made it glow, dally, to tbe cold. ioockIu, ragged moonrlse that made it look like death. Tbe waves positively beckoned wben they rose and pitched toward our boat la boring In the trough. And all tbe long night It seemed to me tbat 1 beard voices through tbe planking, talking, talking, endlessly., monotonously, quer ulously, and I couldn't make out whether It was tbe oc-eun calling from tbe outside or tbe ship herself mutter ing gropingly, finding herself. If tbe voices are of tbe chip they will soon cease, for sbe must find herself. But If tbey are the voices of tbe sea they must be sad siren tbat cry. restless, questioiilun. unxattsUed quaint home less little sirens " ; Beautiful Fish. Japanese maidens are almost like a 4art of the bouse. The people Uve in gardens far more than most Ameri cans da Iu almost every garden is found a pond with goldfish in it Tbe golden carp Is a kind of goldfish which, was brought from China to Ja pan. and tbe siK-cles tin anil rnnchu Is greatly admired. It bus a tall made of three or four fanilke fin tbat open and close. Wben (touting about In the water and looked tit from above it ap pears like one of tbe old Japanese gold coins called tbe koban. It is supposed to look like a lion, wben cue gazes straight into its face. Tbe Japan Mag azine tells us of these fish and says that tbe Japanese are fond of giving fancy names to their favorites, such as "dancing butterfly" and "'double cher ry blossom.' Sometimes the fish take their names' from appearance and sometimes from habits. Austria's Historic Crown. The crown donned by the monarch of Austria, which was made originally for Stephen of Hungary some eight centuries ago. has been stolen, lost or pawned. . . One one occasion It was pilfered by a queen wbo fled across the froxen Danube with it. and there, being in need of ready rash, she pawned it for 2.80O ducats. When it was finally traced and recovered it was placed in a fortress in Hungary and guarded night and day. , At tbe time of tbe revolution it was burled In a forest to prevent its being annexed by the Austrlans, and it re mained under the soil for nearly a hun dred years. Tbe crown is adorned with fifty-three, fine sapphires, fifty good sited rubles, one emerald and 338 pearls. The gems are sunken in a mass of pure gold, und the crown weighs al together about fourteen pounds. Ex change t The Common People. Coronets, miters, military display, the pomp of war. wide colonics and a huge empire ure. In my view, all tri fles, light as air and not worth consid ering, unless with tbem you can have a fair share of comfort, contentment and happiness among tbe great body of tbe people. Palaces, baronial cas tles, great balls, stately mansions, do not make a nation. ' Tbe nation in ev ery country dwells In tbe cottage, and unless tbe light of your constitution can shine there, unless the beauty of your legislation and the excellence of your statesmanship are impressed there on tbe feelings and condition of the people, rely upon it you have yet to learn the duties of government John Bright Beating Off a Dog. . , If a dog springs for a man the latter should guard bis face with his arm snd try to meet the animal with his' forearm."
