know much about the Philippines to
breakfast with him at the Arlington

talk about the archipelago. The sec
rotary was absent-minded when he
came down stairs and he went to the
dining room and breakfasted alone.
Then he came out into the lobby and
found his two friends waiting.
why, good morning" said the sec
rotary. Come right along to the office
and we can talk matters over"
The two men thought this meant
that the secretary wanted to have
short talk with them before breakfast
and they went along without protest.
When they reached the Office they sat
down and talked until 2 o'clock. Then
the secretary thanked them and babe
them good-by Five minutes later two
hungry men dashed madly into the
nearest restaurant and ordered nearly
everything in sight. Next day Secre-
tar Root remembered and spent half
the forenoon hunting up his friends
and apologizing profusely.

then retired to his shop, from which
