 1t is related that a newspaper man, not more than 1000 miles from Hen nessey, recently received a letter from a large distilling firm asking for a list of names of citizens who might be in- terested in the literature of a new brand of wniskey and promising him a commission on all sales. The news paper man being somewhat of joker himself, sat down aud made out a list of the prominent nrohibitionists of the place and forwarded it. He forgot all about the matter until few weeks later, when it was called to his atten- tion by letter from the distiller in- closing at draft for $4e.50, with thanks for the. list, which had been found pe- culiarly rena1nerative.

The case of Miss Todd. the young woman postmistress in Delaware who was fired" by Postmaster General Payne for no other reason on earth than tfat she was obnoxious to the Addicks faction of the republican party in that state Is causing much unfavoralble comment in Washington, says our correspondent, and likewise causing some high republican officials q few bad half hours. The statement Of Postmaster General Payne that President Roosevelt was fully aware of the deal that had been made for the division of the spoiis of office in Dela- ware is rather tough on a civil service reforriner such as the president pro- fesses to be. 1t rio doubt. also, is espe- cially disheartendhg to those ,republt- cans who were hopeful that their party and their administration would not be disgraced by cofaplicity in the attempt Addicksize the State Of Delaware, and assist him in the purchase of the United States senatorship from that state. It was expected and anticipated that Payne would give Addicks his share Of the political spoils, being a machine politician himself. but 1t was d shock to the lovers of decent govern tnent that the president should have acquiesced it the Addicks game. Miss Todd had committed no offense for which her dismissal should have been requested. There was no work against Her personal or official conduct, no peti- ton from the patrons of the office for her removal She simply was against Addicks and that was crim.s enough i1 the eyes of a machine politician like the postmaster general. What will Roosevelt do? viii he reinstate Miss Todd or stand by the action of the postmaster general? He may do a lot of talking, But, as he says, words are good only when backed by deeds..'

speakf1g of the ingenuity of boys when given J chance. a writer in Out look says that in point of fact there is a distinctly practical trend about many modern children's amusements hssrd the other day of child in the west whose father has the control Of q small stream that crosses his prop erty. The boy has inattated the sort of thing he has seen going on about him on a larger scale, and has built him self a dam across the small stream. Boys have been building dams since first there were boys. But this lad has gone further than merely to check the water and make fall. He has constructed system of irrigation, on the same plan as that pursued by the farmers Of the country side, and the water that he controls is turned into ditches and directed upon his own es- pecial garden plot. Such a play as that IS more than ptaastdme and rises to the dignity of course of educa- tion.

AMERICAN ANCESTRAL HOMES
Uur Shrewder Mfifionair@a Pr6p0ss to Build Them in Their
 Own Country.

Now that tfis American millionaires have had time to look about them and have contracted the habit of visiting Europe, where they are received by royalty, it is not surprising that they should be taken with desire for an- cestral homes, says the Philadelphia Record. In the first impulse several of them have bought up the ancestral homes of impoverished English aris- tocrats and attempted to enjoy the emo- t1ons which are commonly ascribed to the man who inherits baronial halls, oil portraits, tombs and vast game pre- serves 1t has been noted, however, that after very brief experience most of them have turned up again in the neighborhood of Wall street, where their most exciting and happiest days have been spent. The fact is that life in the foreign ancestral home Is too like pioneer existence to please the Amer ican millionaire. for long. To equip the place with electric lights or even with gas; to install hard coal furnace and hot air pipes, and all such modern irn- provements as hot and cold water dumb walters, electric bells. swfft-footed young servants, telephones, soft car pets and whatever makes living com fortabfe-the things for which the mill lionaire labored in his most active days would be ridiculous. No man can ex- psrtence or pretend to experiences tho state of mind Of a born aristocrat in his ancestral home without submitting to ancient conditions.
 The shrewder, American n1il1ionaires propose. to build their own ancestral homes in their own country within easy reach of the busy cities and where no traditions bind them to the life of priva- ton which Is the lot of the foreign aris- tocracy.

THE LATERAL PALACE.
t.s. W.s as.s Pope Plus X. Proposes to Make II
 His Summer Home.
It Has Figured In History as one of the Residences of the Popes Gen. turies Ago-Hnlf a Million
 for Repairs.

Pope Plus X. has taken Rome and all Italy by the ears by asking for estimates of the cost of repairing the Lateran palace in order to render it habitable for the papal court This move of the new pope has caused unceasing com- ment, as 1t shows his evident intention to escape at last from the prison of the vatican and venture again through the streets of Rome, notwithstanding the Italian occupation. No large gardens iadjoin the palace of the Lateran, so if Plus X. decides to take up his residence there he will of necessity be obliged to take his walks and drives in or around Rome. At the present time Lateran palace is in rather dilapidated condition, and it will take at least half d million dollars to make it q fit residence for the pope.
 Centuries ago this palace was used as one of the residences of the popes Con- stantine, having given it to Pope sylves- tier, for his palace. This magnificent Building and the property adjoining had belonged to Plautius Lateranus, and the very name is therefore of pagan source AI 5SSMS CudJ l1dCeTauuS was LuS lSduSI of the first and unsuccessful conspiracy against Nero and his extensive posses isioris were confiscated. The Latsran palace continued to enjoy the occupancy of the popes until 1877, when Gregory xI,, on the return Of the popes from Avigon, transferred the trone to the vatican. The palace was burned in the reign of Clement ", but was rebuilt by sixtus ". from designs furnished by Fontana. Innocent XII made it a hos- pital it 1893, and Gregory XVI. con verted 1t in 1S43 into museum, to which purpose it is still devoted. Besides coi- lections of paintings and statues, 1t has a department of Christian antiquities, some of the most interesting of which are from the catacombs. A portion Of
