SHORT OFFICIAL LIVES.

Apropos OF General Ayers retire
ment, it is curious fact that the
secretary of war has never held Of
fee as long as secretaries of other de-
partments have held it. twenty-five
presidents of the United States have
had f1fty-two war secretaries, while
the number of secretaries at the heads
of other departments have been much
less. Washington had three secre-
taries CT war, Knox holding during his
first term, and being followed by
Pickering and McHenry before the
second term was out. John Adams
had two secretaries, and Madison had
five of them in his two terms. Mon
roe got along with two. John
Quincy Adams was obliged to make
two appointments. Jackson in his
two terms had three secretaries of
war. Van Buren,, who seems to have
been able to get along very well with
his cabinet, had only one secretary of
war during his term. Tyler conferred
with four different secretaries for the
war department. Taylor, Fillmore,
Lincoln and Buchanan each had two
secretaries of war Johnson HID
three of them. Grant had six during
two terms. Harrison had two.-New

THINGS WOMEN TALK ABOUT.


1T is always safe she said in that
confident tone so noticeable when
married women begin to discuss the
fai,ings of the opposite sex, Ito as
sumo that when a man thinks he is
showing remarkable evidences of re-
/ sourcefulness and wisdom. when he is
especially satisfied with himself and
what he is doing, he is making an
everlasting fool of himself"
What has your husband been doing
now" asked her summer resort ac-
quaintance, who, being also a woman
and married, knew at once to whom
the remark applied.
why, I wrote to him last week to
get a tonic that my little boy needs
and send it to me by express" ex-
planned the young matron. Il told
him he would find the number of the
prescription on a bottle that I left on
the sideboard in our fiat when l came
here for the summer, and which he,
now learn, threw away shortly after
I left because he happened to notice
that it was empty. He rather prided
himself on his thoughtfulness in
throwing the bottle away at this time,
and l have no doubt he intended to
read me a lecture on the habit of let
ting old and useless things accumu-
late. In his wise, masculine way I
lima CINE he swelled UP with conscious
pride at this evidence of his nsatness
and tidiness, making a fool of himself
as usual when he was moz,t pleased
with what he was doing.
But that wasn't the worst of it, In
stead of writing to me that die had
thrown the battle away, he hunted up
the druggist and asked him if he
couldn't help him out, and the drug
gist, being a man, was naturally just
foolish enough to think he could. He
said he remembered something about
the prescription, and asked if certain
doctor hadn't made it out My husband
recognized the name of the family ply
sician and said he had. Why he didn't
go to the doctor and get the prescrip-
ton duplicated is one of those mys-
teries that no one but married man
ever can explain; but he didn't. How
ever, the mention of the doctors name
gave him IN idea. He recalled that he
had had a tonic prescription filled for
me two or three times, and that he
had once jotted the number down on
the back of an envelope. So, while
the druggist was hunting through his
prescription book, my wise lord and
master went to his Office and ram
sacked his desk for that envelope. He
found it. In Imagination I can hear
lin shout 'Eurekai' as he came across
it. 1t is safe to say he was The proud
est man IN the whole state. Indeed,
he practically admits as much N his
letter. His resourcefulness, his wis
dom, his gong-headedness saved theei
Cay. He was doubly sure of tha1, be-
cause the number he found CORE
sponded with that on the prescription
the druggist located in his book. He
had It put up and sent 70 ME by ex
press, and then he wrote 10 me ex-
planning how he had overcome the
obstacles that threatened to make it |
to get :ha prescription |
