March 7, 1903

PRESS COMMENT

Boston Transcript: This week has started running the sap of the maple; also, that of spring poetry.

Atchison Globe: Some young men think they are so sweet that they expect a girl to hold their hands all the time.

Denver News: After all, Mr. Carnegie is liable to die poor — that is, if the physicians' bills are paid before his death.

St Louis Globe-Democrat: With the advent of spring the Rock Island railroad is putting out some new shoots.

San Antonio Express: The get-rich- quick schemes appear to be about as great failures as Mr. Carnegie's get-poor plans.

Cincinnati Enquirer: "Old Bill Sewell," the Maine guide, got away from Washington without having a cabinet position thrust upon him.

Denver Post: President Roosevelt's expressed belief in large families may or may not exert considerable influence on Utah's presidential Vote in 1904.

New York Press: When a man gets the grip he can drink a quart of whiskey to cure it, but all a woman can do is to cry because blowing her nose makes it red.

Washington Post: King Edward is aboard the St. Louis exposition band wagon all right. It's a graceful recognition of the service rendered by the Missouri mule in South Africa.

St. Paul Globe: Let's see — It's too early for the Kansas wheat crop to be destroyed by drought, and too late for the Florida orange crop to be ruined by frost. What is there to complain of at the present time?

Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune: Astronomer Sir John Mitchell of Greenwich estimates that the tail of the biggest comet of them all doesn't weigh a pound. This may be taken as evidence of the weighwardness of scientific men.

Oklahoma State Capital: It is not announced why the Kansas woman who is being sued for divorce only kissed her husband three times in thirteen months. It may have been because they were the only times she found him in a joint boozeless condition.
