will hardly aid them in discharging
There is before them large, economic.
social and political question arising
out of the value of the estate.
The honesty and purely business
ability Of the trustees cannot be
doubted. They Will administer the
affairs of the Estate well. But, be-
yond this business administration, the
real difficulties lie
Looking at the matter from the
higher standpoint, they are entitled TO
the sympathy and political support of
all those who appreciate the power for
good or evil which is in their hands.
The trustees should obtain the best
wisdom of the world in adopting a
policy regarding the management of
the Estate. They need the aid of the
student and the scholar, the aid Of men
who have the leisure and the ability
to think out difficult problems of this
kind.
VIM. Cunningham in a recent article
on English Imperialism, said that it
was not a hand-to-mouth expedient.
but an academic movement and large

business man. 1t was Sir John Seeley.

paths. The business men had little
time to study his writings, but the

and followed his directions when
squaring away with the unknown
ocean of commercial expansion.
In the general advancement of

the Dutchman's verdict upon each wal

titmouse sits on its gas pipe perch and

WHITE HOUSE CHINA.
A New Set Made and Marked for Each
Administration.

Administration.
The white house china is manufac-
tured and decorated especially for the
presidents house, says the New York
Mail and Express. When a new ad-
ministration comes in, new set of
china is made and marked with the
name of the president OF course the
old china is kept, the new being only
of sufficient quantity to make up for
the breakage and loss during the last
administration. The decoration of the
china consists of dark blue border,
with gold tracings in shape of corn
stalks and ears, while in the center of
the white plate is the coat-of-arms of
the United States in colors. The best
of artists are employed to paint these
plates. and. as each one is marked with
the name of the administration, each
has a value. 1t Is often quite an in
teresting part of a white house dinner
for the guests while waiting for the
courses to turn their plates to see to
what administration they belonged
The china of the white house is In the
special charge of the steward, and he
is responsible to the government for l.
1t Is rare that any of 1t gets out of the
white house, and therefore the appear.

room last week caused comment. The
price paid for them ga apiece was

their value to collectors.

VOTED FOR JACKSON.
And Proposed to His Present Wife OF
the Same Day.

And Proposed TO Ills Present "he on
the Same Day.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Harvey John
son of Union. n. j., celebrated their
SEVENTEEN anniversary last week. The
present partner Of the centenarian's
10y Is not his first wife, since he was
a widower with one child when in 1928
he sailed out one day In November
with two errands to do. One was to
vote for Andrew Jackson for president
a task most congenial to so ardent q
democrat; the other was to propose to
the girl on whom he had cast his eye
as the second mother to his 2-year-old
child. From that same eve, when she
softly whispered yes, their life has
been one long, uninterrupted sue
cession Of quiet pleasure. Few can
boast OF a second wife to have a sew
entieth anniversary with. Eleven
stalwart sons gathered around the
wedding board, all in good situations,
married and happy. The old gentle
man himself still farms a forty-acre
plot, and is as clipper as a young
chipmunk. He reads up every case OF
old age that he can find, and is conf
dent that man may live to be $50.

Odd Furniture.

Perhaps the oldest suit OF furniture
in the world is owned by Joseph Der

many years he has made 1t his bust
ness to collect the match boxes from
factories of various countries. IIii
collection aggregates 1000 boxes. He
ordered a skilled cabinetmaker to lutE
room with furniture made of these
boxes The outfit consists of a writing
table with smoking apparatus, a Arc
screen. a cabinet, chair. and other
smaller articles. Though the boxes
are empty, they are adjusted so in,
geniously that the pieces are fully al
strong as the ordinary furniture.
