I am prompted to those reflectious by the gridiron dinner in New York which I attended last night, together with six hundred other geests, chiefly politicians, financiers, and pro- fessional men. It was called the " Amen Dinner," beccuse it was arranged under the auspices of an organisation, chielly political, but partly social, caffed the Amen Corner." Mr. Affairs, a personal friend of President Roosevelt, was the guest of honour, and Mr. Root, despite the fun, songs, jokes, hita, and stories at his foibles, nevertheless sujoyed himself, as he assur- ed me subsequently, immensely. It is the thin skinned men, apparently, who do not appreciate this latest American fuvention, and American public fo speedily eliminates that class from its
