The gradual reconstruction of
Mr.. Roosevrli's cabinet leads a
direct and timely interest to an
article which the Hon. Charles E.
Smith has just written for the
Saturday Evening Post Of Phila-
delphiA-
Cabinets and Cabinet Making
tells how presidents choose their
ofhcial advisers; how nice political
considerations influence their
choice and reduce TO lowest terms
the Rumber of available candidate
One Of the most important con-
eiasi0us reached by Mr.. Smith ia
that most presidents have follow
ed one of two methods in forming
their onicial families: that Lincoln
and his predecessors, who sur.
rounded themselves with party
leaders and former presidential
candidates, and that Of Mckinley,
who appointed strong, broad
gagged men. regardless Of previ-
Gus political pre- eminence.
This article will appear in an
early issue Of the Saturday even
ing Post.

Garry your wealth with YOU

The greatest riches-iu fact, all
the wealth that is of real value
must center in yourself. You
must be rich within, not outside
OF yourself, rich in the things that
financial panics, fluctuations OF
trade, accidents by food or fire.
dishonesty Of business associates,
or errors Of Judgment, cannot rob
you of. Your greatest investment
must be self-in vestmen;; invest
ment in health. in courage. in kind
linees, in nobility Of manhood or
womauhood.
whoever you come in contact
With should be conscious of your
wealth; Its influence should radiare
from every pore; il should look
out Of your eyes; it should exhale
fragrance in yoar speech; il should
manifest itself in your deeds; it
should shed warmth. light and
comfort within ITS radius; il should
be like the wealth of the roee,
which filings out its beauty and
to every paseer-by.
There Is no s'rnting of its hvors.
no reserve of selfishness; all it has
gives. This is true weaIth.-O.
