Secretary Moody is q bachelor and
lives on * street with General Crozier,
chief of ordnance of the army, and
Representative Gillette of Massachu-
sets. They share expenses and have
a good time. Like other cabinet Off
GERS, Mr.. Moody is constantly annoyed
by people coming to his house on Off
cial business. They think they can
catch him at leisure instead of going
to his office, and he has given orders
to his butler not to admit strangers
without sending in their cards.
One evening after dinner President
Roosevelt concluded to go over and see
his secretary of the navy, and walked
leisurely from the White house to 1923
X street, a distance Of three or four
blocks. The butler, who answered the
door, mindful of his instructions, would
not admit the caller. He had never
seen the president and treated him as
he would have treated any other Wis
itor.
Mr.. Moody is SICK" he explained,

The late Rev. Joseph Parker was a
truly good man and never wearied Of
doing all in his power for the benefit of
his fellow mortals. He was willing to
admit, however, that as a missionary
he would have proved a failure, and to
sustain this opinion once told the fol-
lowing story:
The criminal" he said, whom l first
tried my youthful hand upon was ac-
cused of the murder of a woman. The
case against him seemed a good one
and the future of the poor fellow looked
black.
This man, when I visited his cell,
welcomed me and my Instructions in a
flattering manner He could not talk
with me enough upon spiritual matters.
He asked to see me daily, and it did
heart good to note how sedulously
he studied the little black bible that l
gave to him.
All through his trial his piety con-
tinued to be fervent and deep. In the
end he was acquitted, and I shall never
forget my last visit to him in his cell, Il
few moments before his release and de-
parture.
"On my entry he looked up from his
packing, and, recognizing me, he eX-
tended the bible which had been my
gift and which he had so carefully pc
rused during his peril.
"'Here, sir he said, allow me to re-
turn this book to you. l hope never to
have use for it again."

Portugal's jovial monarch, King Car

TO England King Edward VII. laugh
ingly said to his guest one morning:
You are not aware that your second
self exists here in London. / often see

and is the very image OF you"
King Carlos looked most interested
and expressed a desire to have a look
at his most amiable double. His po-
sition Is a lofty one" said King Ed
ward, smiling. He is a cab driver,
and drives one of the smartest ham
SONS in London. I'll show him to you
before you return to our country"
When King Carlos did see the cabby
he confessed at once that the likeness
was marvellous. Il suppose" said the
monarch, with a merry smile, you are
often chaffed about your likeness to
me, are you not? Now, how do your
friends address you, az a rule? What
name do you go by among them?"
We'll" replied the cabby, respect

VOTE ON STATEHOOD.
Believed One Will Be Secured in SEN
ate This Week.


Washington, Feb. 10.-All Indications
point to the conclusion of the debate oni
the statehood bill during the present
week. If the plans Of leaders who OPP
pose the bill are put into effect the
committee on territories will bring in a
substitute bill providing for the con
solidati1n and the admission of two
states. This will probably not be done,
however, unless assurance can be Sc
cured that the full republican vote can
be obtained for the consolidation. If
this plan does not take shape Senator
Quay is likely to press his statehood
amendment on the agricultural appro-
priation bill, and a test of strength
would ensue.
The vote on his amendment will be
very close, If taken, and while the
omnibus bill advocates feel that they
have a majority, they realize that it
will not be so large as it will be on a
direct vote or the statehood bill alone
and by itself.
There is now some ak of admitting
only Oklahoma, but if this should be
undertaken it will be only as a last re-
sort, and will be postponed until
towards the close of the session. All
senator's are becoming very restless
under the present conditions, and it is
evident that they cannot long continue.
