See Sion GROCERIES AND GRCCERYMEN, WO items of the news of yesterday bore such relation to one another as to make a combination that not only touches the pockets but cheers the hopes of 7 men. According to one item, the high price of butter is due solely to excessive profits exacted by the retailer. According to the other, the grocers rookiyn are organizing a great co-operative union to enable them to furnish all sorts of groceries more cheaply to their patrons. | A wholesale dealer is quoted as saying that butter that sold last | week at from 24 to 26 cents a pound was retailed at from 38 to 45 cents. That seems a heavy profit on a staple article that doesn’t have to be carried long in stock, but it may be the retailer is not wholly | to blame. At any rate it is to be hoped the grocere’ co-operative movement will be fully and fairly tried. Even if it does not give all the relief desired, it can hardy fail to achieve certain economies | that will lessen the cost of living to the poor, provided they are al- lowed to profit by them. WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE. ~ | NDREW CARNEGIE, addressing the National Civic | Federation, said: “I believe that here on this earth | people will live.who have attained perfection.” | On the self-same evening James Coletti, an Ital- ian schoolboy, eleven years of age, won the gold! medal of the Barnard Literary Society by a declama- | tion upon “The Message of Tolstoy,” in the course of which he credited | the great Russian with saying: “Strike death blows at poverty if ignorance; make this earth a fit abode for man.” It is pleasant to have this evidence that the gray-haired vetera' and the shining schoolboy share the same high hopes of America and of Russia. But even as they were speaking news was coming from Berlin that 800 persons who had been refused admission at this Russia refused to receive them and Germany would not permit them to cross her border! Some day there will be no poverty and no ignorance; some day the it is doubtful if there will ever be a welcome on it for the penniless man, x escalates THE OLD ROOSEVELT AGAIN. HAT Theodore Roosevelt has publicly charged Con- gressman Butler Ames with uttering “a deliberate and outrageous falsehood” is evidence that he has recovered from the despondency that followed defeat and is getting back to his normal exuberance. No v, longer does he protest he has nothing to say. His interest in politics has revived. It will be noted, however, that while in this instance the lie is given with the old time swiftness it lacks the old time force. It no longer staggers an opponent. Public opinion does not now count a man out because Roosevelt charges him with falsehood. Mr. Ames, in fact, meets the attack with the serene response: “I am neither surprised nor disturbed.” The issue of veracity goes over for investigation. Decision will depend upon the testimony of third parties. Meantime the country will regret that Mr. Roosevelt has learned nothing from popular dis. approval of his charges last fall, and that the man whose veracity is #0 heavily discounted by public opinion is an ex-President of the United States. a WHITE HOUSE HOSPITALITY.

And such dancing! Not the mere tripping of the light fantastic toe of youth, but good, old-fashioned dancing of the Ohio Valley kind, in which President Taft and Speaker Cannon not only take part, but shine! No wonder Washington rejoices. Such hospitalities and such joys give the White House a glow that perhaps justifies the honest pride of the nation.

A Chy and Ite Enemy. iT} §§ That Changed | f By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1911, by The Prose Publishing Co, (The New York World), No. 22—A Kettle of Hot Potatoes That Saved a City. HOUSEWIFE of Geneva sat up late one December night in 1602 dotling potatoes in a huge kettle. It was an ordinary, even humble task; but it led to the saving of her native town and to the changing of Switzerland's history. Géneva was foremost among Swiss cities. Its commerce was world- wide, and it was a mighty centre of education. Strong in Its wealth, in its brave citizens and its high walls, it annexed nearby villages and called iteelf & republic. It also held out a warm welcome to religious refugees from other parts of Europe. Thither flocked students, merchants, wise men and throngs of the oppressed. The clty-repubdlic, standing thus for independence, quarrelled of course with more than one of its neighbors. Geneva’s chief foe was the powerful Dachy of Savoy. In creed, in politics, in a dozen other respects, the Ge- nevans and the Savoyards wore at variance. Louls, Duke of Savoy, quarrelled with his son. The latter, fleeing from the ducal wrath, found safe haven in Geneva. Louls, In revenge, caused his ally and son-in-law, the King of France, to turn away from Geneva much of the French trade and to leave the Swiss city almost impoverished. ; ‘The Genevans retaliated as best they could, and the con- filct grew hot. One event after another added fuel to the flame. There would sometimes be an era of peace; but always the ill-fecling would break out afresh, The climax came tn 1602. ‘ In December of that year Charles Emmanuel, Duke of Savoy, secretly raised an army 8,000 strong and arranged @ night attack upon Geneva. He planned to ‘strike one eudden blow that should destroy forever the stubborn Httle republic. He knew the Genevans were not expecting such a move and that the walls would be tM-guarded. By meang of ecaling ladders the Duke hoped to get his men into the city under cover of darkness. ‘Once inside the gates the 8,000 could readily burn the town and massacre tts @leep-dazed inhabitants. ‘Thus the religious, educational, commercial and political centre of Switzer- land would be wholly blotted out of existence. A petty, amusing “if” wrecked the well-laid plot. ‘The Gavoyards approached the city in silence. The night was dark. No sentry gave word of the oncoming foe. The army, undiscovered, reached the foot of the city walls, If any stray Genevan—poldier or civilian—chanced to meet them during the journcy, he was slain before he could spread the news. Arriving outside the gates the Savoyards set up scaling ladders, preparing to mount the walls at various points and (at a given signal) to besin the attack from a dozen different sections of the city. One of the ladders was reared against the wall at a epot where e little house jutted out near the ramparts. In this house @ woman was at work stirring a kettle of boiling potatoes. The woman, working there in the etiliness of her kitchen heard a faint sound outelde, She was fright- ened and ran to the window to look out. There, just below the gill, she saw one end of a ladder; and as she gazed a helmeted head suddenly appeared at the ladder’s top. Then ehe understood. The dreaded Savoyards were attacking Geneva. ‘There was no time to go to the nearest guaadlouse and In another half minute the ladder-climbers would be swarming ive the alarm. through the kitchen and so out Into the unprotected streets. The woinan, scared as she was, thought quickly. Running to the fireplace she lifted the heavy kettle of potatoes, staggered across the room with it and hurled it—kettle, potatoes, boll- ing water and all—out of the window. The great kettle crashed down upon the helmet of the foremost man.
