President Roosevelt landed at st Louis at 9; i? a. in. today, marking the first stop in his voyage down the Mis- sissippi river from Kaokuk, 1a., to” Memphis, Tenn. where he will attend the Dukes to the Gulf Deep Waterways Adiociatlon convention Friday. 5 ’ The cruise is the president's res- .ponsc ‘to an invitation from the gov- ernors of the states along the Missis- isippi ricer, given in the belief that he will be ‘eo impressed with the each mous waste of freight‘carrylng energy that he will exert powerful influence in favor of committing the government to act with larger spirit toward deep suing the great inland channels for navigation by ocean- going craft. The entrance of the steamer Missis- sippi, bearing the president into the harbor of St. Louis, was announced by the blowing of whistles. Tens of thou- sans of persons lined both shores of the river. and across Eads Bridge, the main view point stretched a chain humanity, solidly packed from the linols to the Missouri side. The escorting steamboats halted at tbs foot of Olive street. The Mlssis ipi steamed on down to the end of the course and then returned up stream to effect a landing. As Presi- dent Roosevelt stepped ashore he was welcomed by fifteen governors from various states, congressmen and city dignitaries, The morning had dawned bright and clear, but by 9 o’clock, clouds began to gather. Efforts were made to hurry the program because of the threaten- ing Weather. The line of the proces- sion was quickly formed for the drive to the Jai Alai building in the western portion of the city, five miles from the river, where the president was to de- liver his s each. By the hue the procession had pro- ceeded eight blocks the skies opened and the president and his welcoming host were instantly drenched The horses were whipped up and regard- less of the processionai formation the president was hurried to the Jai Aiai building. 7 Notwithstanding that President Roosevelt was caught in the rain as he stood in the open carriage bowing to the multitude, he proceeded straight to the Jai Alai building and went through the program in his wet clothes. Governor Folk of Missouri, present- ed President Roosevelt. At the first mention of President Roosevelt‘s name ten thousand people sprang to their feet and began waving flags us they shouted their greeting The ova- tion continued for fully three minutes. The moment President Roosevelt be- gan to talk the cheering again rose. With a beaming smile President Rooseevlt waited a moment until quiet had been restored. and then beganthe delivery of his address. STAPLE FOOD SUPPLY LIMITED. in an article entitled “Poison Foods,” in McClure’s for September. Dr. Woods Hutchinson says: , "Certain great food staples have proved themselves within the agevlong experience of humanity to possess a larger amount of nutritive value, di- gestibility, and other good qualities, and a smaller proportion of undesiru ble properties than any others. hese through an exceedingly sic and gradual process of the survival of the fittest, have come to form the staples of food in common use by the human race all over the world. It is really astonishing how comparatively few there are of them, when we come to consider them broadly: the flesh and the milk of three or four domesticat ed animals, the flesh of three or four. and the eggs of one species of domes- ticated birds, three great grains,~—— wheat, rice, and maize.——and a half dozen smaller, and much less frequent. ones. 100 hundred or so species of fishes and shellfish, two sugars, a dozen or so starch-containing roots and tubers, only two .ofewhlch» potato and the manioc~are of ill international importance, 20 or 30 fruits, 40 or 50 vegetables make up two thirds of the food supply of the inhabitants of the world. "instead of wondering at the vari- ety and profuscness of the human food supply, the biologist is rather in- clined to ejaculate with the London footman immortalized by John Leech, who. when told by the cook that there would be mutton chops for dinner and roast beef for supper, exclaimed.

Into a battle royal comes the shrewdest sides of: the railroadmhe legal and claims departments and a class of the legal fraternity as clever ind as able as it frequently isunscrupulcus and dis- honest. Not that all,damags claims, made against the transportation com- panies are fraudulent, by any means. But it has‘been shown repeatedly and beyond doubt that a large class of these claims are dishonest from the outset, that a good many persons throughout the'country have made a profession of this sort of business, a form of crime that until a short time ago offered/the richest pecuniary re- sults, with the least chance of detec- tion, of any “big work." Within a very few years able detective work by some of the big Eastern street railroad companies has placed a quietus on some of these folks, and stone cells at the disposal of a number of others of them. Two trolley cars collide in the mid die of a down-town street in a busy city. As the first sequence to the collision come the police and the hos- pital calls. Upon the heels of the pa. trol wagons and the ambulances the reporters of the city daily papers ar- rive. Shrewd folk, who are under- studies for those who hays made “fake'” claims their profession and Carried it to line lengths, and who have been fortunate in being passen- gers in the wrecked cars, and more fortunate in escaping real injury, are developing wendrous aches and pains and givmg their names to the report- ers or the police as proofs for the fu- ture issue. The small fry lawyers—- "ambulance chosen.” they are called -ars early on the scene. They culti- vate the friendship of the police re porters. and use that friendship to the best advantage at such times as these in case. though, they do not get at the scene of the smash in time there are the telephone and other devices that can be brought quickly into play. Lit tie time is lost in advising the “vic- tim” of the opportunity of large re- turns that wait him if he place a sizv‘ able claim against the transportation company without delay The railroad company has not been asleep all this time Motorman or conductor or inspector has rushed to the nearest drug store telephone, and the superintendent of the road does not know of the accident before its thief claims agent. While the first of these men is busy getting tower wag- ms and wrecking crown to the scene. the second has iouted out his cos- :ncks. like firemen for a foul alarm blaze. They are on the scene as soon is the "ambulance chasers,” ready and willing to settle all valid claims on ‘he spot without further ado. A clcv or lot of young men these. and capable if being worth much more than their salaries to the companies that em )iOy them But they need every bit )f ability that they can summon to *heir aid. for they are pitted against nuny an unscrupulous man or woman who stoops to this meanest form of graft. it is not alone the dishonest slnlmant who stands facing him. but the aiiouioy who is that claimant's colleague also has a club in hand for him. Some of the sharpest lawyers find that they make their best living from this very class of cases. Some times they take their first training in the law odlces of the railroad so as to observe the methods of their future tniagonists. Once they have a work- log knowledge of this sort as a good part of their stock in trade they turn In cold blood upon their corporation employer, and set out to harass and annoy him until the end of his days.»- Edward Hungerford in Harper‘ s Week- WHICH IS YOUR BHORTEST HOUR? “What is your shortest hour in the day?" asked a business man of an ac- quaintance. "Don't say you have none. YOu have, although you may not know it. Everybody has. Of course, reckoned by actual measurement, each hour is composed of sixty minutes, yet not- withstanding that chronological exact- ness the hours vary in length. My shortest hour is from 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I find upOn inquiry that this is the fleotest period for many people. in my case so swiftly do those sixty minutes hurry by that i try to crowd into them as many of the disagreeable yet inevitable, things if life as l possibly can. if i have to interview a bore, i see him then: if i have to visit the dentist, i do it then. That hour is bound to aiip away quickly, no matter what happens; therefore the agony of dlsg ceahle scenes seems of shorter duru ion."- New York 31111. DILIOATELY PUT. "A footmnn.” said a bunker.
