"That's MISS Frsnkiep exclaimed
one of the pretty viii 'e.cspped cham
bsrmsids Of the White House the
other day to woman friend who was
''nosipg about" thegreat mansion. She
referred to an imperial photo raph I
Miss frankie Folsom OF Buffalo, n.
Y which occupied a prominent posi-
ton on the Presidents dressing-case.
From the fact that this was the only
portrait of woman On the dresser,
and also flom the fact that 1t was 80
placed that the President could not

ing into those mute eyes of the photo
graph. it was inferred that the big
bachelor was "gone." HE is all
broken up over her." whispered the
domestic, "and receives three letters q

The President hes been going all over

many personal letters from ladies and
others, and is disposing OF little gifts
which must s)me tine or other be ex-

This, as you see, is the Presidents
bed-chamber, and it is being reno
waited and fitted up as if for the ieCep-
ton of a bride.

tinued the chambe rmaid. She opened
three large drawers and brought to

The recent International Convention
of Commissioners and Experts in
Patents held at Rome was marked by
the absence OF any representatives
fiom the United S stes Government.
Several months ago the State Depart
ment communicated to the Interior
Department a notice of the then forth
coming event, and an invitation to
our Government to send delegates.
The Commissioners Of Patents there
upon selected two experts in the
Patent Office to ect rs our representa-
tive, but their departure was delayed
by the fact that there was no apPro-
priation to cover the expenses Of the
delegation, and finally the matter was
allowed to drop. Peop'e interested ia
the subjsct Of patents say that while
the Unite States system is the most
perfect and expensive in the
world, yet we should have
been represented at the Rome
convention TO keep pace with the prog
fess OF ideas and methods. But every
thing waits for Congressional action,
and Congress moves slowly. Hon. X.
Tapshashi, the Japanese Commission
er of Patents, spent the winter months
in Was hipgton studying our system Of
patents. He proceeded to Rome later
on and was in attendance at the con-
vention. Our Commissioner Of Patents
treated Mr.. Tapahashi With great court
esy, and donated TO Japan carload
CT books from the Pat MT Office.
Albert w. Critics of Nebraska, the
newly appointed Chief of the Division
Of Captured and Abandoned Property
of the Treasury Department, is we'll
received by his associates. Mr.. Critics
finds there are dead loads OF old bat
tered silver watches, jewelry and other
articles of value slowed away down in
the treasury vaults awaiting claim
ants. These articles found their way
to the Treasury Department during
the war, and 80 many years have
flown since their capture that it is diff
icult for the owners to identify their
lost goods.
