gestion was that as this is diplomatic day
at the department OF state, the President
might nave gone over 10 the state depart
ment to attain a secret conference with
the representatives of friendly European
powers.
Secretary Long was greatly amused
when Informed of the conservation the
presidential walk had occasioned and when
he had recovered from his merriment he
gave the following account Of the mystic
rious walk:
About noon Secretary Long went over
to the White House 70 present to the
President for his signature several requi-
sitions for the purchase of some ordnance
and naval supplies. That business being
transacted, the President walked toward
an open window and remarked that il was
a beautiful day and proposed a short
stroll in the direction of the Washington
monument. 10 drink in a little fresh air
and enjoy the first glimpse Of spring. Sec
rotary Long being a consistent pedestrian,
cheerfully accepted the invitation and a
few minutes later the President and the
Secretary of Navy might have been seen
picking their way through the white lot by
way of the west gate ins the direction of
the government fish pond and the Wash
ington monument. The ground was soft
from last nights storm and the distin-
SulSneu StroiIerS were in danger more than
once OF getting stuck in the mud Their
soiled shoes disclosed that fact. When
nearing the monument a party of tourists
recognized the President. and one Of the
party-a lady, who said she was from Day
ton, O.,--insisted on speaking to the Presi-
dent. Immediately an informal reception
was held in The shadow of the monument,
and all of the members of the party were
presented by name to the President and
Secretary Long.
Continuing their walk the President sug-
gesied that they make a call on Secretary
Wilson at the agricultural department.
Naturally the employees of that department
were astonished and delighted by the dis
tinguished visitation and Secretary Will
son gave his chief and his associate a cor
dial welcome and rendered them a goodly
supply of garden seed as a further mark
of esteem. He also volunteered to convey
the President back to the White House
stating that he was about to proceed up
town to luncheon. Secretary Long would
have preferred to continued to walk but
the President had on his overcoat and was
quite warm in consequence, besides the
sun was shining with all the force of a
middle of May day, hence he was glad to
accept Secretary Wilson's transportation
back to the executive mansion. Thus end
ed an exciting incident which Secretary
Long laughingly remarked was "llled with
warlike significance"

of cabin passengers. Hitherto saloon pas
sengers have not been carried by the car
go and cattle steamers of the White Star
Line. But 1t has seemed 20 the managers
that in the very large vessels which are
gradually superseding the earlier steam
ers in the trade there Is ample space for
passengers without interfering with or
being interfered with by, the accommoda-
ton required for cargo and other purposes.
And TO those passengers who desire not so
much the extreme speed of high-powered
steamers as comfort and good accommoda-
ton the Cymric should prove attractive as
means OF making an easy and pleasant
trip across the Atlantic.

A "time-expired" man came to tho

GENERAL GORDoNs FEAR.
One of EnsIand's Greatest Heroes
Prayed 10 he Kept Humble.
From the sunday Magazlne.

From the Sunday Magazine.
The Bishop of Tasmania, in one of his
recent sermons, told story which brings
out the character of a man whom All the
world learned to respect-for a wonder be-
fore he died. The bishop was indebted for
the story to clergyman who had spent
some years In GAIA, Palestine.
one night this clergyman was coming
home late, and in the dusk of the evening
when objects were not very distinct, he saw
what looked like man kneeling on the
ground by the side of his horse The
place was not safe one. Arabs might
easily surprise the kneeling traveller
Il must go and warn that man." thought
the clergyman. 1T will never do 10 let
him remain there. He does not know that
he may get into trouble"
As he came nearer, to put his resolution
into practice, he was stopped by words
that were not addressed to himself. A mo-
ments listening convinced him il was the
voice OF prayer 10 which he listened.
90 my God, take me away out of my
self, lest l fail; make me to look unto
Thee, that / may humble myself and be
like Thee" said the voice of the kneeling
man.
The clergyman hesitated to interrupt the
strangers devouons, but he could not per-
suade himself TO leave him in danger Ar
Asi WttHluB LOT tlfnt ne dppfOaEnCQ,
saying as no did so, Sir, beg your par
don, but you are In danger here"
The man rose, and the clergyman's sur
prise was great when he found himself
standing face to face with Gen Gordon.
What are you doing out here in this
dangerous placer he asked, not yet re-
covered from his establishment.
This morning / received a telegram
from England, asking me to undertake a
mission which ! had longed to undertake
all my life" replied the General "rt filled
me with such elation that / felt ! might
get into trouble through pride and 1
thought l would just get upon my horse
and GO away by myself to humble my
self before God"
II was thus that the noble sbeart of Cor
don met one Of the great trials OF char
acter-the honor of being chosen to lead
In an important enterprise
Il believe" said the bishop. that the
mission Of which he spoke was the one in
which he was employed when death met
him"

the salary question.


At the Iowa Dairy meeting j. Morck
discussed the matter OF he salary co be
paid the secretary anl man eor Of the
Cooperative Creamery. Among other
things be said:
Let Is see, first, what is required Of
an up to-date creamery secretary and
manager. 1t %isreqnired of him that he
be q first-class butter-maker, SO that he
can tell why and wherefore when the
b1tter grades below extras. He must
understand the Babcock test. SO that he
can detect those small globules of gold
the careless butter-maker leaves in the
skim-milk; he must know how to buy
supplies and dispose Of the butter to the
best ADVANTAGE; should understand feed
ing and breeding, SO that he can give the
patrons pointers on same; and III order 10
Keep the books properly, he must be a
good scholar. Ii he is not able to fulfill
these requirements, he had better not
undertake to fill the place. as the cream
cry business, just as much as any other
business, is a failure il not properly
managed.
The average wages paid a butter
mixer is, I think, ahont, $4,000 month
ard from him is only required that he
make extras and keeps the machinery in
good running order, while the manager
must understand the business in every
detail, 80 his salary surely onght not to

If the co operative creamery cannot
afford to hirea competent man to man
age the hnsiness and do not want TO
trust everything to tilr huttcr-makar.
| a see no reason why three or fonr
neighholing crpamaries cannot club to.
gather and hire a man to fill the place
of secretary and manager (for all OF
them); a competent man can surrey be
had for $4,000 per month, making only
OF four companys, $25 90 per month fer
each one. Then a manager would he
able to lave a uniform grade of butter
from those four factories. who otherwise
would be putting on the market four
different grades, and would be able

vantage; he could save money by buy

deemed necessary he can do the testing.
Now thot production of butter is So
