made a cabinet minister out of McKin-

had planned for him.
Since Mckinley became president

a turn at amateur photography
and then dropped it for some
later diversion and pastime, but
not so with Mrs. La Verne w. Noyes,
who, for nine years, has carried her
camera wherever she has gone, and
taken pictures Of every variety and
description and in almost every quar-
ter of the globe. Her home is a veri-
table gallery of the choicest photo
graphs, and the library shelves bear
many albums that faithfully tell the
story of her travels.
Mrs. Moves at first developed her
own plates, and printed and mounted
the pictures, but so faithful and per-
sistent was she in the taking of pic
lures that she was obliged to turn the
processes after the pressing of the
button over to other hands. An artist
by nature and skilled in the use of the
brush, she nevertheless is loyal and
devoted to the camera, for says she:
when one is travelling fast it is sim
ply impossible to sit under a white
umbrella She keeps careful notes
of every picture she takes, and each
album and picture bears its memo
randa which is like story book OF
her travels and outings. And she is
not selfish in her pleasure, for she has
a delightful way of turning the cam
era to pleasure and profit of her
friends. This is the way she does it,
as told in her own words:
when my friends visit me | make
up for them a little book of photo
graphs containing a picture story or
record of the visit. start out with as
nice a portrait of the particular visitor
or visitors as I can secure. | continue
with pictures of the cottage, pictures
of the visitors in the fields, pictures of
the visitors at work, at play, walking,
riding, going to and from the railway
station. I close, sometimes, with a pic
ture of the kodak fiend.' Then l have
the pictures nicely mounted in books
or albums, write a line beneath each
one. and-send the collection to the
one it most intimately concerns. The
little books are usually liked and APP
preciated. and I greatly enjoy pTepar-
ing them"

stolen had combined to form a temp
tation too strong to be resisted. This
class are seldom prosecuted When
caught they are forced to return the
stolen property, admonished never to
enter the store again, and turned out
onto the street
But the professional shoplifter is
not easily caught She is gowned, as
a rule. in the best of materials made
up in the latest styles, but has a ten
dency to wear flowing garments, and
her nimble fingers slide small bits into
these so deity that it is seldom noticed
by employees, though every store keeps
a force of trained detectives on the
lookout for them.
No store will accuse woman of
shoplifting unless caught in the act
by an employee. They never take a
customers word for it. The matter
of charging a woman with such an act
is too serious a matter to be done
without being sure that it can be con-
clusively proven in court Otherwise
damage suit might be the result,
which would be disastrous to the mer-
chant. Store employees will watch sus-
pected people, but they are never ar
rested until the proof is absolute, and
there is no means OF escape.

chasing officials standing in with deal
ers. 1t was learned, for one thing, that
the District had been paying more than
double the price for typewriter ribbons
paid by departments which invited bids,
and that there was similar extravaganza
all along the line.
TO be sure there mas been no develop
ment as yet of actual dishonesty, but it
is not the fault of the system that there
has not been thieving, and it may turn
out that such is the case. In the mean
time Commissioner West is determined
that there shall be no further temptation
and he has ordered that hereafter all sup
plies for the District be bought only after
competitive bidding. The reform is GER
tain to save the District thousands of
dollars year.
The astonishing thing is that such lax
ness should have gone on for so many
years before any high official caught on
TO it; but the people of Washington have
become so accustomed to hear about the
perfection of their District government
that they accepted it as matter of
course.

Of all the secretaries of agriculture
Wilson has been by far the most eff

him, and he has devoted himself en-
Enthusiastically to the development of the

Everything else connected with the gov
eminent is of secondary interest to him.
He had rather father the discovery Of the

bacco over the American product than he

United States produce the best of every
thing on its own soil He will not admit
that there is anything inherently impos-
sible in producing the best of every
product of the temperate zone right here,
and he has scientists at work for him
who have devoted their lives to special
branches of that inquiry.
He is subject to disappointment some
times, however He had one not long
ago. The department had in its employ
the only man in the world who had made
profound study of the secret of raising
tobacco He was on the search for the
germ which made the flavor of Havana
tobacco superior to that of Connecticut
which gave the value to the weed. The
department was paying him $4,000 year.
japan came along with an offer of $12,0 900
year and he was lost to us. There is not
an expert in the department who has not
received fiattering offers from other gov
ernments, but most of them remain loyal,
in spite of all temptation.

him the making of a reform executive
as he is demonstrating to-day.
When he went into the District gov
eminent all the wheels seemed to be
running smoothly. 1t was the habit to
talk about the District of Columbia as
the best governed municipality in the
world. The government had the repu-
tation of being clean, efficient and alto
gether above reproach. Then all of a
sudden came the discovery that trusted
employe had been stealing the District
money for years and that he had made
away with over $4,000 of it before he
was caught. West was as startled as
everybody else.
He was only one of three commission
ers, but he went to work without min
ute's delay to investigate the system
which would permit such defalcation,
and it was not long before he had I'M
earthed a laxness of administration
which was simply appalling. Men who
had been officers of the District for al
most q generation handling the taxes
and disbursements were found not to be
bonded properly, 30 that any deficiency
in their departments must have been a
complete loss to the taxpayers. 1t was
discovered that the accounts of some of
Abe disbursIng officials had not been
audited in Is years and that there was
actually no way to find out whether there
had been misdoing or not.
