They give one a rest between laughs, as
it were. They give the face a chance
to put on it's calmer and more placid
aspect. and prevent il, perhaps, from con-
torting into a perpetual grin. But this is
speculative. The point L wanted to make
was that this method of varying the
things on the stage, shifting the scenes and
appealing to the mysterious and many-sid-
ed riddle. the public. from many stand
points, pleasing one element with this and
another with that, has gone far toward
simplifying the work OF the men and

ton; on the other side stand the hosts of
labor which have coaleSced in obedience
TO the primal instinct.
The majority of the American people are
in neither camp The farmers. the mer-
chants, the clerks and the professional
men Of the country cannot. in the very
their dearest interests may suffer through
this lack of cohesion.
Now. it must be remembered that these
millions, armed with the ballot. NAV find
life uncomfortable because of the warfare
between the trusts and the labor unions.
Events have taken this very turn in the
metropolis of the Nation. TIL coal barons
and the miners have fought a duel to the
death, oblivious OF the fact that great pop
ulations were reduced TO straits which are
to be endured only by the garrison of a
beleagured city.
What is TO b. the epilogue of this tre-
mendous drama? What is to happen when
the suffering mill ons themselves shall re-
solve to invoke the utmost vigor of lex
talionis? Evidently most far-reaching
changes in our governmental structure
must occur, since the deSpiSed noncombat-
ants can make and unmaSe courts and leg
islatures whea once they determine to pour
the old wire into new bottles. The story of
the civil war teaches that Americans will
break any number Of eggs IL firmly con-
WINGED that a great omelet must be made.
Extremists of both schools should, there
fore, pause before they take the final leap.
All capital is menaced by the wild words
OF autocrats like Mr.. Bae- who dream that
oligarchies are possible to-day, as they
were in the bygone centuries; the dearest
interests OF labor are imperiled by short
sighted agitatcrs who act upon the idea
that public opinion may be dubbed into
silence.
1t needs no prophet to foreteil that a
few years of oppression will convert the
victims to the absolutist creed. If so, the
strong arm of the federal power will be
made to wicld perfectly new and perfectly
effective weapons. The Inherited fear of
a huge standing army will vanish because
the no less logical fear OF standing mobs-
half capitalistic. half proletarian-wiu
leave TO other loophole OF escape. Thus
the two millstones will cease to grind be-
cause both will be shattered TO a thousand
pieces by the colossal hammer which never
strikes in van.

HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
George B. Cortelyou, Private Secre-
tary to the President.
His Success Should BE an Inspiration
to Ambitious Young Americans
May Become IL Cabinet
Member.

The intimation has come from WASH
ington that George Il. Cortely you may
become a member of the presidents
cabinet. Those who know the man
best believe that he is worthy Of such
an honor, and capable of filing such
position. In the United States to-
day there are few more interesting
men than George b. COrtelyou, the
secretary to the president. lntellec-
tual, energetic, dignitied, and court
eous, this man seemed endowed by ma
ture and fitted by training to perform
the duties and meet the emergencies
OF his particular work.
The position of secretary to the pres
ident of the United States is an arduOus
one. In the rendering of its multi
tudinous services, it calls for the busi-
ness qualifications of Il methodical and
systematic clerk, in the performance
of the daily routine of official work,
and the finesse of a practical diplomat
in meeting and satisfactorily adjust
ing situations between the president
and an assorted public, each individual
of which believes himself entitled to
a portion of the time and interest of
the chief executive.
Mr.. Cortelyou worked his way to his
present high position through sheer
ability and determination. lie is still
a young man, 40 years of age, and his
success may be regarded as an indica-
tion of still more progressive and
brilliant career in the future. lie be-
gan as a stenographer, and, as a court
reporter, was considered one of the
most rapid and accurate in the coun-
try. In 1891 he became private secre-
tary to the fourth assistant post
master general. Toward the close of
the Cleveland administration he was
transferred to the white house. He

LINCOLN AND THE CLERG YMEN
One Instance in Which the Genial
President Lost His HabituaI
Good HumOr.

Clergymen were always welcome by.
Mr.. Lincoln at the white house with
the respectful courtesy due to the
sacred calling. During the prog
ress of the war, and especially
in its earliest stages, he was
visited almost daily by reverend gem
tlemen, sometimes as single visitors,
but more frequently as delegations,
says Col. Ward IL. Bamon, in he Phil
adelphia Times. He was patient
listener to the words of congratula-
ton, counsel, admontion, exhorta-
tion and sometimes reproOf which
fell from the lips of his pious callers,
and generally these interviews were
entertaining and agreeable on both
sides. 1t not infrequently happened,
however, that these visits were pain
fully embarrassing to the president.
One delegation, for example, would
urge with importunate zeal a strict
observance of the Sabbath day by the

was for several months a stenographer
to the president, and was then APP
pointed executive clerk, which posi-
tion he held until the beginning of Mr..
McKnIcy's second term, when he was
made private secretary.
While in Washington Mr.. CorteIyou
improved his spare time in the study
of the law, and, in 1895, was graduated
from the Georgetown University Law
school. The following year he took
postgraduate course in the Columbian
university.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in New y ork
city July 20, 1862. He was educated
in public and private schools, and is
graduate of the Hampstead o.. H. in
stitute, and of the state normal school
at Westfield. Mass. He holds the de-
gree of Ii. Il. from Georgetown uni
versity, and the degree of LII. NJ. from
Columbia university. lie was for
while a law reporter in New York, and
then was principal Of preparatory
schools in the same city from 1885 to
1889. In the latter part of 1889 he be-
gan his career as a private secretary,
having served in this capacity with the
post office inspector at New York, the
surveyor of the port of New York, and
the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral. In November, 1895, he was ap-
pointed stenographer to the presi-
dent; in February, 1896, executive
clerk; in July, 1895, assistant secretary,
and in April, 1900 upon the resigna-
ton of John Addison Porter, OH ac-
count of ill-hcalth, Mr.. Cortelyou was
made full secretary.
This is modest and thoroughly
American career. Having had not
more than an average preparation for
his life's work, Mr.. Cortclyou has in
variably done the small things that he
found to do so well that he mas been
called to do greater things.
During the four and half years that
Cortelyou served the late President
Mckinley, first as assistant private
secretary and later as private secre-
tary, he developed remarkable trait
OF memory.
As assistant secretary il was part of
Mr.. Cortelyou's duty when the prcsi-
dent was travelling to see the reporters
from the various newspapers and To
furnish them the particulars of the
chief executives plans ana movements
Hundreds of reporters throughout the
country thus became personally ac-
quaiuted with MIR, Cortclyou, who not
only remembered their faces in CON
uectiou with the newspapers which
they represented, but in the great ma
jority OF vases remembered the per-
suuul names Of the iutcryicwers them-
selves.
