refusal to sign the bill to restore the
United States bank, which Jackson mad
killed. The accusation was absurd, of
course, because the wings, who elected
harrison and Tyler, had made no dec
laratlOn on the bank question IN the
campaign of 1910, or on any other is
sue. The quarrel between the president
and cabinet put the country against
their party in the congressional cleo
lions of 1912 and helped to defeat them
in the presidential election of 1914.
Stick was the laconic message of
Charles Sumner to Edwin M. stanton,

Stanton stuck" and the wrangle be-
tween them was one of the causes OF
the impeachment proceedings against
Johnson. The Blaine-Conk-ing feud
when Blaine, in 1881, was secretary OF
state, in the cabinet of President Gar
field, split the republican party in the
state of New York, weakened it in ev-

1882 and the presidential election OF

The Wound in Her Heart.
If Leone had been wiser after that
one evening, she would have avoided
Lord Chandos as she would have
Stunned flames of fire. That one
evening showed her that she stood on
the edge of a precipice. Looking IN
her own heart, she knew by it's pas
sionate anguish and passionate pain
that the love in her had never been
conquered. She said to herself, Wien
the evening was over and she drove
away, leaving them together, that she
would never expose herself to that
pain again.
1t was so strange, SO unnatural for
her-she who believed herself his wife,
who spent so many evenings with him
to go away and leave him with this
beautiful woman who was really his
wife. She looked up at the silent stars
as she drove home; surely their pale,
golden eyes must shine down in dear
est pity on her. She clinched her

she looked positively dreadful. Her
hat was on sideways and her boomers
we're all wrinkled out of shape. Mr..
Newfangle met her at the door and re-
monstrated with her, whereupon she.
slapped his face. In self-defense he
ran into the kitchen, but she followed
him, calling him dreadful names. Then
he picked up biscuit he had just
baked and hit her on the forehead,
knocking her down. She'll be disfg-

PLACES THAT BRING TROUBLE.
Few Cabinet Officers Have Found
Their Positions Sinecures.

Secretary Alger is far from being the
first cabinet officer who has found the
position embarrassing. Jefferson, in his
diary, referring to the controversies be-
tween himself, as secretary of state IN
the cabinet of Washington, and Alex
ander Hamilton, as secretary of treas
ury, remarked that eve were pitted
against each other like two fighting
cocks This condition soon con-
strained Jefferson to resign, and Ham
| ilton did not remain long after him.
Some of the scenes between the first
President Adams on the one side and
Timothy Pickering, secretary of state;
Oliver Wolcott, secretary of the treas
ury, and James McHenry, secretary of
war, on the other, one Of which is
given to the world in letter by Nc
Henry, were picturesque in their tenn
pestuousness and led to the retirement
of all three of them.
Everybody remembers the story Of
[ how Jackson, in 1882. said he would
hang Calhoun, then vice president,
higher that Hannah, if South Carolina S
notification in that year carried her
into rebellion. There were several
men in Jackson's cabinet around the
same time for whom Jackson. for a
much smaller offense than Calhoun's,
had about the same sort of feeling.
One of these was William J. Duane,
secretary of the treasury, who refused
to obey Jackson's request to remove
the government deposits out of the
United States bank, which Jackson was
fighting at that time, and who was him
self removed by Jackson in conse-
quence. Others were Samuel J. Ing
ham, an earlier secretary of the treas
ury than Duane; John Branch, secre-
tary of the navy, and John Mop. Ber-
rien, attorney general. The wives of
these three, like Calhoun's wife, re-
fused to ''recognize' Mrs. Eaton, the
wife of the secretary of war, who was
a particularly close friend of Jackson's
Martin Van Buren,, the secretary of
state, had no wife-he was widower-
and consequently was free to extend
social attentions to Mrs. Eaton, which
lie UIu Will HIS dCCuSCO11Su 81 dCO dud
delicacy, and thus won the everlasting
friendship of Jackson. He was substi-
tuted for Calhoun as Jackson's political
heir, and went to the presidency on
Jackson's retirement. Ingram, Branch
and Berrien were sent out of the cabi
net and went over to the wings. The
affair got into politics for the time and
the democratic partey was shaken to
it's center. This episode, which was
one of the most absurd incidents" in
American politics, was called by the
wags of the day the Peggy O'Neill
war;" O'Neill having been Mrs. EatOn's
maiden name.
All of President Tyler's cabinet ex-
cept the secretary of state, Daniel Web
ster, resigned in 1841 because Tyler, as
they said, betrayed his party" by his
