Haunt the dim stairs. The cautious zephyr

Each gusty door, like some dead hand, then

With ghostly lips among the attic rlooms.

At each faint fall to hesitate To leap.

pointment by Harrison, and is said to
be good collector. But not long after
he took charge of the office 1t was dis
covered he was cashier Of national
bank. Secretary Window asked for his
resignation. He was thrifty yankee
who knows a good thing and how to
hold it, so he quietly pigeonholed

Then Window died, and when Mr..
Foster became secretary of the treas
ury he wrote letter asking for Pew's
resignation. 1t was stuck away in
