In the November st. Nicholas is a
letter from a girl of fourteen, giving
a list of her favorise books. She
writes:
My mother and 1 live in two
rooms, so there Is not much extra
space. l have two shelves of the
smaller bookcase for my books, and
l have 30 put some in d back row. l
always hate to put any books but
school books in a back row; l feel as
if 1T hurt their feelings and made
them so sorry they we're mt nicer.
l have only about one hundred
books of my own, and L arrange
them according 10 slz5s; they r 20

Miscellaneous
A NEW CABINET OFFICE

Inc data of various kinds com
sDrised in the report of the Industrial
Commission will be peculiarly peril
nent in view of the proposition to
create a new ctbinet portfolio of
commerce and industry. 1t is un-
derstood that President koOsevelt
will recommend the creation OF such
a department.. The relation of the
government to commerce and indus,
try is already vast and intricate /;
and the history of the early future
of the United States is destined more
than ever before TO be a history q
industry and trade. Every great
mod4rn government exists in large
part for the sake of safeguarding
and developing the economic activi
ties of the people. The government
of England, espe 'ially, is CONNER cial
in it's motive. The pending question
of tariff reciprocity in this country,
for example, is not nj that concerns
primarily the national exchequer-
that il to say, is not essentially a
question of public finAnoe; but If is
rather a question of trade policy
affecting labor and capital In like
manner the pending question of
steamship subsidies is one that does
not primarily any of the
ext ting executive deOartments.
TIE oversight of the countrY's trade
d. es not belong in the nature of the
oase to tie Safe Department or the
Treasury Department; but it would
afford very important functions for
u apartment of commerce. If great
corporations and combinations of
capital are in the future to be brought
under national supervision, whether
With OF without a cOnstitutiCnAl
amendment, such oversight must be
exercised through executive officers /;
and the interests involved are of
suOh magnitude that it would hardly
seem feasible to daal with them
through Il bureau OF a permanent
9 rmmissiOn attached either to the
Treasury or the Interior Depart
ment. A hundred considerations, in
short, point toward the advisabi ity

headed by an off er of cabinet rank

would seem as if the creation OF suoh
H department, and the appointment
)f an energetic AMI able man at the
head of it, with assistants possessing
scientific knowledge and adm ni7tra

necessary point Of departure for a

sEwED UP FOR THE WINTER.

This Is true story, and it was told
to the reporter by a prominent worker
in one of the east side settlements. The
other day woman living in Rivington
street brought her little boy to the set
Element house and expressed a desire to
have him enter the kindergarten. The
child had bright face, but 1t was Woe
fully dirty, and one of the settlement
rules is that all pupils must present at
least a clean exterior.
So the teacher looked at the little boy
and said: "Why, certainly he can come
to the kindergarten, but we want all
the children to be clean. Give him a
good bath tonight and send him to us
in the morning."
BATH" gasped the mother How
can battle him? I've sewed him up for
the winter. NEW York Mail and Elk

AUDITORIUM SCHEME
LAUNCHED In DENVER

Denver, July 7.-The articles Of incor-
poration of the Auditorium association
which is to erect an auditorium build
ing will be filed tomorrow with the Sec
retary of state. The company is capi-
talized at $4,000 diyeded into shares
of SO each. This amount fully paid
up, will purchase the site for the
building Ht La Veta place and erect a
$500, 900 building on the property.
The full block between South -Four.
teenth and South Fifteenth streets on
Colfax and $50 feet deep is the ground
on South Fourteenth street with the
/ left MS it Is and will ultimately be sold
by the auditorium committee IL it is
not needed for the main building.
The scheme of building an auditoxi-
um originated with the Elks a few
weesk ago. The Chamber Of Com.
| merce and the Real Estate Exchange
which co-operated In selecting an audi
torium committee of Thirteen. eight
from the order Of Elks, three from the
Chamber of Commerce and two from
the Real Estate Exchange. .s .,,.
The men undertaktng the 6nterpftse
receive neither money nor stock Tor
their services, and intend that the pay
roll shall not go beyond the necessary
clerical expenses incident to tbeTesters
prise. The Elks viii raise : all " the
money possible in their own ranks Dy

the proceeds ofswfifch VIM be applied
to the purchase of stock. Other organ
izations, fraternal or otherwise. have
been invited to raise funds to purchase

The first move Of the company for
the raising OF funds will be to give
concerts during August nt Arlington

band engaged formed the nucleus for
the auditorium fund in Omaha, where

A New York dairyman makes the
suggestion that farmers who are sup
plying city markets should name their
places, and so establish a sort of trade
mark for their products. Lookout
Farm" for instance. would stick in the
memory OF customers, and If the name
were stamped on superior articles only,
1t would not be long before the Look
out Farm butter. cheese and eggs would
command the best prices. The dairy
man adds that those who are look
ing for country places will give more
for those that have an established
name and reputation. In short, it
would pay the farmer 10 advertise ju-
diciously. as it pays any other busi-
ness man.

counterfeitinE Decreased.

The annual report of Chief Wilkie OF
the secret service division, submitted to
Secretary Gage states that during the
twelve months ending June 10, 1901
there were placed in circulation but
four new counterfeit notes, against an
average of about ten for each year dur
ing the preceding ten years. Only one
of these new notes was dangerous, the
others being the product of unskilled
Workmanship.
The total amount of counterfeit cur
rency which came into the possession
of the division during the year amount
ed to S30.O56, while $1S,117 in coun-
terfeit coin was contiscated. Coin
counterfeiting decreased all over the
country, except in New York and yicin-
ity, where there has been n gradual
increase in this class of crime, particu-
larIy of cases in which genuine silver
forms the basis of the limitations. The
arrests for twelve months show a total
of 594
OF these 40 We're for making, pass
ing and having in possession counter
felt coin. There We're ninety arrests
for altering United States obligations.
OF those persons arrested 262 were
convicted, JAG are awaiting the action
of the courts. one is fugitive from
justice, one committed suicide while
awaiting trial, and tifty-five were ac-
quilted. New York state leads the
list with GO cases. Illinois is second
with "a, Pennsylvania 81, Missouri A,
Indiana "A, Alabama %.
There We're two cases in Cuba. OF
the prisoners 80 were Italians, "a were
Germans and 8 Swedes. Four hun
dred and thirty-two were born In the
United States. Ir =
The contraband property captured in
cluded 2T2 sets of molds, Of which "a
were metal and DAG plaster Of paris.
There were 45 metal dies for the strik-
ing of coin. and 2O2 plates Of various
characters for the pEinting of the cur
rency Of this and foreign countries
Eighty-one plates for the printing Of
forbidden advertising material were
also confiscated. A large amount OF
work work was performed for the 9th.
