SECRETARY GAGE was the man who
was credited last year with saying
that no changes should be made in his
department solely because OF politics.
Thers have been numerous changes on
account Of politics in his department,
but Mr.. Gage has always been able TO
escape responsibility by saying that
he approved the changes because they
were approved by his subordinates as
being ''for the good Of the service. q"
Now, he has shown the cloven foot by
making a change for politics himself,
in forcing the resignation Of Worth
ington G. Ford, chief Of the bureau Of
statistics, and giving the place to G. p.
Austin, an attache OF the Republican
national committee, who had been

SENATOR JONES, OF Arkansas, who is
a member of the finance committee,
Indignantly denies the statement per-
slstently made by Republicans that
the Democrats on that committee have
delayed the reporting Of the war reve-
nue. bill, which has been before the
committee for week. He shows who
is responsible for the delay by calling
attention to the fact that the time of
the committee since it has had the bill
has practically all been spent in con
sidering amendments proposed by Re
publican senators.

Philippine islands are bigger prize

He Learned the Lesson.

A country sohoolmaster was coach
ing his pupils for the yearly examina-

class in geography, he asked, Can any
little girl tell me the shape of the
earth?" To this there was no answer.

any little boy or girl tell what is the

extended, every head thrown back and
every eye flashed with excitement. One
little fellow was singled out with a

MADAM HICKORY.

Fit theme for sonr. the sylvan maid
Who, IL she knew not fauns or satyrs,
Had conjured oft in messy shade
Visions Of savage paleface hatersl
trow she dined on pork and maize
In cabin single roomed and sooted,
Quite innocent OF frills AL stays,
Warm hearted and barefc4ted.
Her beauty surely brought her note.
Perchance tie franlxness of her manners
Gossip DER racy tales did gloat
To prove her scruples not Diana's,
But when the hero husband came
He crushed the scandal pests like vermin.
A terror hedged the hero's name,
And she was white as ermine.
Thenceforth, matron fair and fat,
She shared the doting hero's station.
That's with Alexander sat
And heard the plaudits of a nation.
What though small souls, with furtive leer,
Revived old rumors of dishonor2
The hero held her yet more dear
And stainless as Madonna.
Weary of fortunes smile and frown,
She died without the White House portal,
But never wife wore richer crown,
A hero's troth and love immortal.
That love had made queen of her
Whom naughty danes turned prudish
backs on,
And history smiles, but has no slur
For Mistress Andrew jackson.

Lincoln and Jeff Davis.

Malcolm Townsend has pointed out
condolences of events in the lives of
Lincoln and jeff Davis. Both were born
in Kentucky-Lincoln in 1909, Davis
in 1908. Both removed from their ma
tive state in childhood, Davis going to
the southwest, Lincoln to the north
west. In the Black Hawk war Davis
was a second lieutenant of regulars,
Lincoln captain Of volunteers. Both
began their political career at the same
period, 1914, Davis being a presidential
eleotor for Henry Clay. Both were
elected to congress at about the same
time, Davis in 1916, Lincoln in 1916.
Lastly, in the same year and almost the
same day, they were called on to pre-.
side over the destinies of their respective
governments, Davis as president of the
Confederate states, Feb. 8, 1861, and
Lincoln as president of the United
States, March a, 1861.-New York
