Short Name Is an Advantage,
OF Very Great Practical Value if You Should Happen to
Be Presidential Cabinet OMccr-Abbrevladons
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.

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 a 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 a long sig

men have wished that they could have
attained equal fame and importance
under shorter names. 1t is nearly al

a little factory at LenoN, Mass. which

organization enabled him to interest

and put in operation two immense
plate-slass factories-one at Taren-

Later he founded Ford City, sixty
miles east of Pittsburg, establishing
there a factory employing and intro

The Might Of a Lie
Task of Overtakine Ultruh Has Well Been Described
a Hopeless onc-How Fabrication Wrecked
Political Career of John G. Carlisle,

Probably the most impossible,
hopeless task on earth is to overtake
a lie. The other day ex-Speaker John
G. Carlisle, now a successful lawyer
for great corporations, with an old
fashioned home in North Washing
ton square, passed along Pine street
with the easy gait of a plow horse.
Two citizens saluted him and when
he had passed on one remarked:
There used to be the making of a
president in that man. The entire
country looked up to him. If it had
not been for his Cynthiana speech the
northern democracy would have been
solid for him, and. of course, he
owned the southern wing. The speech
ruined him. He retired from politics
with a broken heart and settled in
New York to make little money"
Here is an extract from that IA
nous, heart-rending speech:

has destroyed sovereign states and
oppressed nine millions of people in
