Short Name Is an ADVANTAGE
OF Very Great Practical Value You Should Happen to
Be Presidential Cabinet Oh6cer-Abbrevations
Generally Used in Signing Official Documents

The present cabinet is made up of
men with shorter names than any set
of cabinet officials in many years. Five
of the nine advisers of the President
bear names of only one syllable each.
These are Secretaries Hay, Root,
Shaw, Postmaster General Payne and
Attorney General Knox. Secretary
Moody has not long name; neither
has Secretary Wilson. Secretary
Hitchcock has nine letters and two
syllables in his name. Secretary Cor
telyou has nine letters and three syl-
tables. His is the hardest of all the
cabinet names to pronounce. All the
others are plain. The predecessors of
these men, however, did not have long
names, and if the letters of all the
men who Immediately preceded them
were put together the results would be
almost the same as at present-in
fact, just one letters difference. Sec
rotary Hay succeeded Secretary Day,
the same number of letters. Secre-
tary Root succeeded Secretary Alger,
a gain of one letter. Secretary Shaw
took the place Of Secretary Gage, the
same number of letters. Mr.. Payne
came into the cabinet when Charles
Emory Smith went out, the sam num-

Der of letters. Attorney General Knox
took the place of John w. Griggs, a
gain of two letters, and Secretary
Moody followed John D. Long, a loss
OF one letter. The five men named
have two letters less in their names
than the five men who preceded
them.
The value of short name in de-
partmental work is appreciated by
heads of departments and their as.
sistants. The thousands Of documents
to be signed daily make it laborious
and tedious work to repeat long sig
nature so often. In fact, hundreds of
men have wished that they could have
attained equal fame and importance
under shorter names. It is nearly al.
ways the case that when a new cabi.
net officer takes charge he will begin
by signing his name in full, like ben.
jamin B. Smith," but he will not keep
this up long, and in a month will have
reached the conclusion that "B. B.
Smith" is good enough for all official
papers. In some especial document
he may sign his name in the full style,
but he reserves that as a sort Of spe-
cial affair, like q Sunday suit OF

Remarkable Career Of Capt Ford tie Pioneer Plate Gss

This city is the cradle of the plate
glass industry Of the United States,
says an Albany (Ind.) special to the
Indianapolis Sentinel. The first pol
ished plate-glass manufactured in the
country is still in use in the front
window of a New Albany clothing
store. There are two plates, each
about 6x14. Capt. John B. Ford, who
erected here the first factory in the
United States for the manufacture of
polished plate-glass and whose name
Is household word throughout South
ern Indiana, is still living at 81 years
Of age, at Tarentum, Pa.
He came originally from Kentucky.
and located at Greenville, near here.
He was a natural born" inventor and
invented and manufactured a machine
for chopping straw. He soon moved
to New Albany, where he built steam
boats. His attention was attracted by
little factory at Lenox, Mass, which
was manufacturing a crude form of
rough plate-glass for skylights. He
set his wits to work and designed the
first machinery for the manufacture
OF polished 'plate-glass. This machin-
cry was made at New Albany foun-
dries. He interested his cousin, Wash
ington c. De PAW, a man of large
means, and they operated the first
plate-glass mandatory, which was a
huge success, but they could not agree
as to business policy, and Ford sold
his interest to De PAW. Ford then
established factories at Louisville and
Jeffersonville, which failed.
Capt. Ford's history from this time
furnishes the most remarkable in
stance on record of man building up
an immense fortune in his old age.
He was 78 years old when he started
for New York, but was smooth-shaved

SURVIVAL OF THE UNFlTTEST.

Instances In Nature Where Good Gives
Way to Seeming Evil. !;
A matter that has attracted the at
tention Of all outdoor students for
ages, and which still remains unset
tied, is the fact that, although the
farmer wages constant warfare on
weeds in order that his crops may
grow, the food-bearing plants often
fail to seed fruition. but the weeds
never. The more noxious the
plant the more certain it is
to flourish, says a New England
writer. What is true of the plant
world is true of bird and mammal life.
The English sparrows, which nearly
every one hates. increase at the rate
of millions yearly, in spite Of rigid
winters and bounty laws, while the
birds which add the beauty of color
and song to outdoor life are tending to-
ward extinction. The frost that i'm
prisons the grouse, by forming crust
over the snowbank where he has
sought shelter, at the same time pro-
tects the field mouse pest from his
natural enemies. The same crust bears
up the wolf, while it practically i'm
prisons the deer. Insect parasites kill
the game birds, while the owl seems
to enjoy their companlonship and
cares not how thickly,. they swarm
within the cover of his plumage. The
crows fly over morning and evening
from roosting to feeding place and re-
turn in: flocks as great as those OF a
century ago The ducks and geese re-
turn from the south spring after spring
with constantly thinning ranks. II AS
the eastern writer puts 1t, the chances
are that q hundred years hence, in the
dearth Of game, the leading sportsmen
will be wrangling over the merits Of
their skunk dogs and Dragging Of
their bags Of crows and sparrows.

CHAPTER TX.

Bombay at last!
"Oh, the terrible strain Of those
nights and days since the garrison of
Rawal Pindi had hidden the newly
married pair God speed" and that
journey had begun which should have
been one all-too-swiftly-p assing stream
of happiness, and held nothing but the
long-drawn-out agony of tortured
hours-hours spent together in closest
companionship, yet in which they were
kept apart by the widest CULTS.
Don thought there could well be
nothing bitterer than that stage of the
journey which was over. The forced
inaction on board the trains, the fierce
satisfaction of arranging every little
detail for his wife's comfort, always
with the knowledge that that right to
do so would all too soon cease to be
his; the constant strain to keep up ap-
pearances before servants and officials.
the utter inability to break down the
barrier of pain when they were alone.
Sometimes he told himself it had
been better to speak that last goodby
at Bombay and prolong the agony no.
longer; but as drowning man clings
to the rope of succor, he had note the
courage to be the one to cut the cord
which bound them. She had consented
he should take her home, and he would
go through with it to the bitter end.
His thoughts never went beyond that
end. After their farewell had been
spoken, what .mattered it wither he
went?
And now they were on board the big
steamer at last, and the May day was
dying in a golden haze over land and
sea. The pilot had long since gone
ashore in the tug steamer, and the
great Indian land of glory and death
was sinking fast astern into the world
of waters.
Lille stood on the poop and looked
her last upon it with bursting heart.
She had come hither a gay and happy
girl, she was going hence a broken
hearted woman, wife in name alone.
Don was below, comforting with the
steward anent their luggage and cab
ms. She was free to let fall those salt
tears she hid from him with proud;
Spartanlike fortitude. If she suffered,
she suffered in silence, and perhaps
Don never guessed how deep that suf-
fering was. He came up by and by,
and found her still standing by the
taffrail alone. She had checked her
tears and recovered her habitual calm;
but though she had drawn her veil
down, through it's thin texture Don saw
how pale and worn her lovely face
looked.
You are tired" he said, compassion
ately. "Shall you go below at once?"
II would rather stay here a while.
am not in the least sleepy"
