this place for twenty years, during
which time he has managed to accu-
mulate about the largest stock of big
words o~btainable. Some time ago a
representative. of the Associated Press
called to see the secretary. Arthur had
forgotten him and therefore interrogat-
ed the caller as to his mission within.
In reply the newspaper nan stated
that he was from the Associated Press,
t~whereupon Arthur's face frightened
up as he calculated:
ooh, yes, sir; 1 remembers now. I
reads de Associated Press every morn
ing and thinks it de finest paper in de
United States. Jais' walk right in"
Recently Arthur was discussing the
negro labor problem in South Carolina.
in the course Of which he stated that
the colored population were able to
hold their own against "dem Eyetal-
ians and Scandewegians," because. they
were able to live cheaper. Upbraiding
one of the messengers whom he caught
laughing at him, he said, "Wha' for

Improvement of Market Milk.
A pamphlet has been issued from the
F., department Of agriculture entitled
Market Milk-A Plan For Its Improve
ment," compiled by r. A. Pearson, M.
S., assistant chief of b dairy division.
The article describes a plan that might
easily be adopted in any city or town
by which the public would be kept in
formed of the names of the best dali
ries.
Under the plan proposed d milk COM
mission would be formed by a few re-
sponsible but disinterested persons.
The commission would issue a state
ment briefly mentioning all of the con-
ditions which should be found upon a
farm where sanitary milk is produced.
Special certificates would be issued to
dairymen who are found to conduct
their dairies in the manner prescribed,
and the names OF these dairymen
would be published from time to time
in the daily papers. Thus persons who
choose to keep posted may easily know
if they are getting milk from a dairy
that is approved by the commission,
and if they are there need be 10 fear

A Committee of Governors.
Five ~eX-governors of states are in
cluded in the membership Of the senate
committee OF interstate N No
other committee can boast such a gal
aXy of former executives. Senator Gull
lon was governor of Illinois from 1877
to 1888, when he was elected to sue
coed David Davis. Senator Foraker
has twice been governor of Ohio, Sc
curing two victories out of four en-
deavors. Senator Tillman, as every
one knows, went from his pillow to
the governors mansion, being nominal
ed and elected as the farmers candi-
date after a most exciting campaign.
The governorship was the first political
office he ever held. Senator McLaurin
was governor Of Mississippi from 1895
to 1899. He went from the senate to
the governors chair and then came
back again to the senate. Senator FoS~
ter was governor Of Louisiana from
1892 to 1899, being first elected on the

Will get home. There are fences to be
repaired in nearly every congressional
district, and b representatives are
anxious to set to work at once. Conse-
iQuently a man who is known to be a
prophet in the matter of adjournment
is listened to with great respect.
Such a man is Representative Jones
of Virginia. Two years ago he won a
wager by naming the date when on
gress would adjourn, although he fixed
the time a month later than anybody
! else. The other day Judge De Almond
Of Missouri came ito him with a query.
"Jones," said the Missouri man, you
seem to be able to guess the time of
adjournment better than any n I
know. When is this session going to
end?'
about the 10Th of lex July" was
Mr.. Jones confident answer, "and If
you ask me whether it will be before
or after the 18th I should say it would
be after"
