DELAYS TAKING OATH.
to Qualify for His New Cab
met Position.

Washington, Feb. IS. - Secretary
Cortelyou will not qualify as the head
of the new department. of commerce
for day or two, possibly not until
Friday morning. He desires that two
or three intimate friends, who reside
in other cities, be present when he
takes the oath of Office, and the cere-
mony will await their arrival in Wash
ington. One of them, Gen. Maxwell,
whom Mr.. Cortelyou served as conf
Dental clerk when he was fourth as
sistant postmaster general in Presi-
dent Cleveland's last administra ton,
arrived Tuesday.
The oath probably will be admins
tered to Secretary Cortelyou at the
white house by one of the justices of
the United States supreme court. CO.
incidentally with the qualifica ton of
Mr.. Cortelyou as cabinet officer, Will
liam Loeb, Jr., now assistant secretary
to the president, will take the oath as
secretary to the president. The prob
ability is that Mr.. Cortelyou will sit
in his first cabinet meeting on Friday.
II VIII Hol pe Announced LOT several
days what plans Secretary Cortelyou
has matured as to the new department..
Temporary quarters for the secretary,
commissioner of corporations and 9TH
er officials who from time to time NAV
be designated, will be obtained, but
their location has not been made pub
lie. 1t is quite probable that the bu-
reaus already'in existence in other de-
partments will not be removed from
their present quarters for consider
able time.

coins which he possessed. 1t was
sharp experience, and while Rossiter
was not one of the sort to cherish .
grudge, he had reason ia bear the
man before him small goodwill.
His Rpst impulse, born of the keen
recollection of the suffering of that
night, was to assail Dawson there
and then, and have revenge in some
sort, if he might, fer tho Contempt
BILE theft and desertion. He con-
.rolledl himself, however,, and made
no effort to rise, hoping not to be
recognized: But tho working of his
lips and his very apparent emotion
did not escape the notice of the man
in the road. He leaned up the bank,
and, not Knowing what to expect,
Resstter felt compelled to get upon
his feet. So in the fence-corner they
faced each other, the one curious,
aggressive, bulky, and brutal; the
other tense with restrained passion,
alert, and sinewy.

Jack Parmelee had named number
of times that afternoon, as he
groaned over lifting an obstinate
pole, and told himself that he did
not believe he should make such a
to-do.
He walked on several PAGES, medi-
tating the while. Pole-pulling was
much harder work. doubtless, than
picking hops, but then the pay was
more. If he were going to turn his
back upon his old ways, he might as
well begin Fundamentally. He
wheeled swiftly towards the two
men seated in the door of the hon
kiln. They ceased speaking as he
drew near, and realizing that his
mood might change if he beat about
the bush Rossiter went straight to
the point.
81 overheard you say" he began,
'as was passing just now, that you
are going to be short of a pole-puller.
I'd like to have chance at the job,
if you'll let me.'

leaning forward to scan Rossiter's
face more closely, whats your

Parmelee looked Rossiter up and
down. Then he rose and felt of his
arm.

with one of his gruff chuckles. "TIl

"Thank you,' said Rossiter, turn
ing away.
"Obliged to you,' answered Parme=
lee. "Glad you spoke about it. Helps
me out considerable.
Rossiter walked from the farm
yard with sense of elation. His
blood seemed suddenly. to pulse more
swiftly, and mounted to his head
like wine. He paused an instant
at the gate, wondering if Joe Becraft
had returned, thinking to tell him Of
the step he had taken, but Joe was
not among those who were lettering
there. He glanced up and down the
road, debating which way he should
stroll, not caring to join his gossip
ing fellow-pickers. One addressed
him, but he replied briefly and moved
to the right in the direction oppo-
site from that which he and Becraft
had taken the evening before.
"Ruln Teller, that" said one of
those at the gate.

WELL FOR WOMEN TO KNOW.

Never light lamp with paper, for
fragments of it are sure to drop off in>
to the burner.
A little borax Ia. the last rinsing.
water will make handkerchiefs easier
to iron and look better when done.
Wash chamois leather in lukewarm
soap suds and finally rinse in slightly
soapy water of the same temperature.
for washing leather in clear water
causes it to harden. Dry in the air and
not near fire.
Boiled starch is much improved by,
the addition of a little salt or dissolved
gum arabic. A useful thug to remem-
Der is that the iron will not stick to,
the clothes if the starch used has been
mixed with soapy water.
Mice dislike camphor and advan.
tage should be taken of this fact, for.
few pennies spent on camphor will
soon rid the cupboards Of house OF
the destructive little intruders. The
method is simply to scatter camphoE
