NV Dear Sir: The President directs
me to send you herewith for your infor-
nation copies of two letters sent to Sec
retary Cortelyou with reference to the
government printing office, which de-
fine the attitude of the administration in
connection with the subject discussed.
They are sent to you for your information
and guidance, as they indicate the policy
of the President in this matter.
The letters to Secretary Cortelysu were
written on July 19 and IA. The salient
sentence of the first letter was: "There
is no objection to the employees of the
government printing Office constituting
themselves into aunion ii they so desire,
but 20 rules or resolutions Of that union
can be permitted to override the laws ofthe
United States, which it is my sworn duty
to enforce"
In the letter of the 14th the President
quoted the finding of the anthracite strike
commission regarding the employment Of
labor, as follows: at is adjudged and
awarded that no person shall be refused
employment, orin any way Disseminated
against. on account of membership or
nonmembership in any labor orgsuiza
ton, and that there shall bs no discrimi-
nation, against, or interference with, any
employe who is not member Of any la
Dor organization by members of such Or
ganization."
Concerning this principle the Presi-
dent wrote at is, Of course, mere ele-
mentary decency to require that all the
government departments shall be han
died in accordance with the eprincipal thus
clearly and fearlessly enunciated. "

THE PRESIDENT AND LABOR
UNIONS.

Advices from Oyster Bay are to the
effect that President Roosevelt has made
applicable 10 all departments of the gov
ernment service the principle he enun-
ciated at the time he reinstated William
A. Miller to the position in the gov
erument printing Office from which
Miller bad been dismissed because
of q disagreement with the book
binders union. The President has
plainly stated to the members of his
cabinet that the principle Is to indicate
the policy of the President in similar
cases. Last night the President author
lied the publication of letter which
was sent to each member of his cabinet
on the ed of July. The letter was
signed by Mr.. Barnes, the acting secre-
tary 10 the President, and is as follows !:

It is said by some authorities that
the honeymoon, or month after mar
riage, takes Its sweet sounding title
from practice of the ancient Teutons,
who drank honey wine QiydromeD for
thirty days inter n wedding.
A far more simple and direct dcriva-
ton is found in associations common
to many times and people. The words
month and moon have come to us from
one source, the Anplo-Saxon NOM.
which is formed from an old root, ma,
to measure. The moon thus measures
time, and Dryden links 1t with its
kindred month when he speaks of zone
revolving MOON" Honey is an obvious
equivalent for anything enjoyable and
sweet, and Shakespeare attaches 1t
closely to the tender passion when he
says, "honeying and making love-"
Anthony Trollope has used honey
moon as a verb" Some decent sort Of
body to honeymoon along with me-"
and in an old volume of the London
Taller there is an interesting sentence
which clinches the connection between
moon and month-"Sometimes the par
ties fly nsundcr even in the midst of
courtship and sometimes grow cool IN
the very honey month"

Curiou. Mathematical Fact

There is certain popular young
lawyer in Atlanta who when In college
was known ms the best mathematician
In his class. He is still much interest
ed in knotty questions of figures. and
he propounded n query on the street
yesterday that none of a dozen men
could answer.
"Take any two consecutive num-
bers," he said, "say four and FIVE;
square them and subtract the lesser
result from the greater, and the num-
Der you have is the same as the sum
of the numbers you started within
this case four and five. their sum being
nine.
"This will work out every time. NO
matter what two consecutive numbers
you take. The rule is well known, but
1 have never been able to find IN ex
PLANTATION Of It, Why is this alwayf
true, and can any one explain 1t tt

His hearers figured long, but none
was able to tell why the sum of the
two consecutive numbers is equal tc
the difference of their squares. Allan

THE BABY OYSTER.

of the Deep.
The oyster is most interesting during
babyhood, says Charles Frederick
Stansbury in Outing Its manner of

fidence of childhood. 1t prefers to ad-
here to odd objects, and Its childish
taste in this direction often encom
passes its destruction. II an old boot,
waterlogged box, brick. u lump Of
coal or piece Of discarded and frac-
tured crockery lies upon the bed of the
ocean where set is in progress, the
young oysters or eggs will cluster thick

cided preference as against the sur

Of lovely woman entirely covered with
q set of young oysters. Thus does Ma
ture pay her tribute to Art.
A favorite foundation for life adopt
ed by sensible young oysters is upon
the shells OF their ancestors long since
defunct and for this reason many
planters strcw the bottom Of their
holdings with such CLUTCH in the
hope that the wandering ova will stop
and there adopt n local habitation.
Lying thus upon the floor of the
deep, the young oyster begins to grow,
and in doing so invariably points his
little bill" heavenward, an attitude
that he maintains throughout life If
undisturbed. AS he grows older his
shell is often used by the forn Of the
sea us an anchorage, and thus he is apt
to be found enveloped in the foliage of
the curious oyster sponge, coraline, red
and green sea lettuce and other quaint
species of algn and sea grasses. The

twinkle, are very fond Of attaching
their eggs to the shell of the oyster.

Mr.. Sewall saw her off few days
later with rather curious sensat1Qps.
There had been terrible struggle In
bis masterful mind as to whether he
should not force upon this wlllfll girl
the money she had so lately refused,
but pride had held him back. He had
also perhaps suspicion that he might
not succeed. He watched her serene
departure with a mixture Of Impotence
and admiration. but found himself alb.
surdly relieved when he got brief
note few days Inter announcing her
safe arrival
The house seemed lonely enough
without her. Josiah Sewall was q stole
at heart, but he caught himself during
these days imagining nervously all
sorts of predicaments into which Pau
lines penniless condition might betray
her. and there were sometimes mo-
ments Of unaccustomed doubt as to
whether he had acted always for the
best toward this second wife Of his,
who In spite of everything, Ind
brought SO much peace and happiness
into his life. The thought of her boast
ing words never failed to bring con-
temptuous smile to his face, but in his
heart of hearts he did not now believe
she had married him for his money.

through lids nearly closed. His face
was white and set. but 1t was not bit

himself against well matched oppo-

Pauline stared ut him curiously, with
parted lips, startled out of herself. 'T'll
remember that" she said, but mechan-
ically, and then she went past him out
Of the room. Yet by the time she had
reached her chamber she had once
more that self control, had said what
she did not mean, had made fool Of
herself. Zig
Pauline suffered for many days. Mr..
Sewall treated her with distant cold
ness. There were no more drives, no
more conversations. The poor girl felt
with q bitter sense of injustice that she
had lost the precious results Of all
these long months for the sake Of a
~ hpox, do CHI
make him give her his money us her

Should she go In her brougham. in her
well made clothes, with all the EVIL

port? Why, indeed, did she want the
money now ut all, excepting for poor
Johns sake? To gain her end would
| be barren victory If she could not
win with 1t the love and respect Of this
stern old man whom she had married.
! And SO Pauline set to work to storm
her husbands stern heart through the
twinkle in his eye, to bring about her
rights with a Jest, which is the only
way they will ever be gained while
men are men, and women are wise.
One day Mr.. Sewall was surprised by
