A Hint to Colonel Roosevelt. T ATLANTA jonel LS 3£™ Roosevelt said he would run for the presidency in 1912 if he felt that he could carry a single Southern State. There is one way to do it. Run on the Democratic ticket. What do Marse Wat- terson, of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier- Journal, and Deacon Hemphill, of the Rich- mond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, and Colonel Howell, of the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, have to say on this subject? From Our English Cousin. My Dear Young Fellow: Allow who am seventy next year, to offer you through my editor (who also means well) a veteran sage’s compliments and best wishes on your twenty-ninth birthday.

JupGE would suggest as a subject the little word “tyes.’’ The speaker might say to advantage, ‘‘Teach the girls to say * when they are young.’’ If they don’t say it then, ‘His Honor’? is very much afraid that they will never say it. men. Altruism. ALTRUISM is the spirit or mental atti- tude or meddlesomeness which causes you to do something for somebody else, in order to make yourself feel better. A great many activities are grouped under this head. For instance, you might sell a man some mining stock, on the theory that some one would get his money, any- way, and that what you sell him would not be so bad as what the other man would sell him. It is preferable, but not indispensable, that what you do for the other fellow in a spirit of al- truism is something he wants done; whether he does or not, your is always clear. If ‘our altruism, but, own conscience he does not appreciate y so much the worse for him; and that is your chance to heave a sigh for man’s ingratitude to man and rm solve that you will never do anything again for such an ingrate.

The true altruist gives it freely to the just and the un- just. The highest type of altruist, for instance, is the politician who is afraid we will make a mistake in our voting. He travels around the country, paying railroad fare and hall rent, because he loves us and because it makes him feel good to love us. Other types Will read- ily suggest themselves to students who desire to go deeper into the matter. The life of an altruist is ideal but often it is inconvenient to the victims. comicbooks:éom
