President Polk on Absentee,sm

A Washington special says that
the following is an extract from a
letter written by James X. Polk on
Feb. IL, 1916, when he was presi-
dent. elect, offering James Buchanan
the position of Secretary of st IT. :.
Mr.. Polk wrote:
81 disapprOve the practice which
has sometimes prevailed of Cabinet
officers absenting themselves for
long periods of time from the seat
of government, and leaving the
management of their departments
to chief clerks, or less responsible
persons than themselves. l expect
myself to remain constantly at
Washington. unless it may be that
no public duty demands my pres
ence, when | may be occasionally
absent, but then only for IA short
time. 1t is by conforming to this
rule that the President and his Cab
met can have any assurance that
absenteeism will be prevented, and
that the subordinate executive Off
GERS connected with them respect
lively will faithfully perform their
duty"
Now that President Arthur and
all of his Cabinet and great many
of their subOrdinateS are absent
from Washington, the reproduction
of tho above comes in very pat.

Arkansaw Traveller.

Several weeks ago, by special en-
actment of the legislature, the gov
ernor offered a reward of two hun
dred dollars for an Arkansaw man
who is not a judge, colonel, major
nor captain. The next day, a plain,
unassuming gentleman called on
the governor and said
II have the honor, sir. to claim
the reward you offered for a man
who is neither a judge, colonel, ma
jor nor captain. am neither OF
these.'

The Raifroad UP PIke's Peak.
Springfield Republican.

The railway to Pixies Peak is
progressing. The route is not fully
decided upon, and surveyors are
still working busily. The road
will be narrOW-guage, the length
from twenty-five to thirty miles.
Trains of three cars will be run,
each carrying forty persons. The
officers are making point of rum
ming the road where the finest views
can be obtained, views which will
be new to the tourist, not seen from
any of the old trails. The first
twelve miles of the route will be of
surprising beauty, New camping
grounds will be opened high up
among the mountains, where PEG
pie can live in tents, enjoying the
pure air and the wild grandeur Of
the Rockies, S, nding down by rail
every day for the luxuries Of civil
iZatinn, and even getting their dali
ly papers regularly. Some large
summer hotels and sanitariums will
probably be ere C; ed on the line of
the road. The Pixies Peak rail
way will be looked upon us one of
the greatest triumphs of engineer
ing skill in America. No road, in
America or abroad, has ever been
laid through such wonderful and
beautiful scenery.

Alabama Hard TO Seat.

Any one who doubts that the
South is on the high road to pros
perity and getting its pay as it goes
along, should consider the cOndi-
ton of the State of Alabama. Be
fore the war Alabama raised Il great
deal OF cotton and not much of any
thing else; now she produces much
corn, beats some Northern States in
the production of oats, finds profit
in pork and woodland has "a pleas
ing assortment of mines and mills.
In spite of all this, however, she
raises about % per cect. more of
cotton than she did ten years ago.
Better still, she has doubled the
number of her farms, which may
mean either that her large planta-
tions are being divided and better
cultivated than before, or that much
unimproved land-of which Alaba-
ma has great deal-has been put
under cultivation. Ii any of the
older States can show n better rec
ord, the Herald would be glad to
hear of it and to inform the pub
lie rs to the facts,

A Father Hubbard
ArkanSaW Traveller.

The other day when old Major

The old man went out into the

an imitation of pantaloons. When
he returned, his wife uttered a loud

A HUNGRY little girl was begging
i'll Des Moines. A man dropped a
five cent piece INTO her hand. A
tramp came along, told the child
he had eaten nothing in week
and so impressed her with his grea-

and gave him the coin. Then he
went to the nearest groggery and
bought glass OF whiskey. The
climax of the story is a tremendous
whipping, given to the tramp by
the original donor of the nickle.

Set the beautiful gates ajar.'

Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and her touch sufficed

Letters have recently reached the
American Bible Society from their
Agent in Japan, conveying the in
telligence of the conversion of two
Coreans, one OF whom, named Ri
jutei, is a person of high rank in
his own land. He is an intimate
personal friend of the present king
of COrea. When the rebellion oc-
Cured in that country a year ago,
Rijutei saved the life of the queen,
and the king offered as a reward to
give him any rank or hOnourS he
desired. His reply was, 81 only
ask to be permitted to go to Japan
in order that Imay study and see
the civilization of other lands. "
He came not as an official, but to
study in private.
Following the advice of Il former
ambassador from Corea, he called
upon Christian japanese to learn
about Christianity. He was deeply
impressed with the truth, and was
very soon converted and baptised.
Rijutei's great desire is to give the
Bible TO his people, and he was filled
with JOY when he learned what the
American Bible Society had done
for other lands and was also ready
to do for Corea. He has entered
upon the work OF preparing Chino
COrean version, with great zeal.
Having been recently urged to re-
turn home he replied, 81 have a
very important work to do here |
have found something that is better
for me and our people than railroads
or telegraphs, or steamboats,"

making is the failure TO wash and
