A BUSY Secretary.

A Democratic member of congress
for whom President Roosevelt has a
high regard called at the White House
the other day about a war department
matter. The question involved was
one which the secretary of war
has discretionary powers, but those
temporarily i'll charge Of the depart.

Democratic representative views of
the situation.
''Mr. President" he exclaimed, 81

ter personally to the secretary of war
he would see it right. When will he
return?
The president leaned toward his
caller, and his face became tense with
seeming earnestness and feeling.

man uses when he wants each word
to find a lodging place, ''the secretary

Flowers for Rent.

Flowers ere now rented in New
York for all sorts Of occasions. One
bouquet may be made to do duty for
several brides in the course Of a day,
and funeral wreath may express
various phases Of grief at a number
Of funerals. The ''lessor' prepares
his first bouquet from the freshest
buds obtainable, and by buds is meant
the small rose that is several days
from bursting" Carefully, with the
utmost care, each bud is gone over and
the outer petals opened out, to give the
exact appearance Of a blown flower.
When the bouquet has done service
and been returned by the "renter"
these outside pedals are removed and
all the flowers placed in the icebox to
await the next order. Time and again
these buds do duty, until their USE
fulness has gone for such purposes.
The stems are wound with fine wire,
and, with the addition Of a few pieces
Of smilax, the Greek flower peddlers
go forth to sell them for few pennies

N Honexmoons in Oklahoma.

"The honeymoon, as the term usual
ly implies" says the Enterprise, Of
Mutual, o. T., lis about as scarce in
this section as snowballs in August.
We do not mean to convey that our
people never get married, for weddings
are getting of such common occurrence
that the boys forget to serenade the
contracting parties any longer.
; when one Of our young couples
gets married, they do not spend a
month honeymooning, like it is the
custom in the east, but they settle
down to the routine of life with the
one harmonious purpose of building
up comforta BILE and happy home. In
stead of 'spooning' around over the
country attracting the attention Of
everybody, looking sickening lOvable,
and calling each other all kinds Of
sweet little 'chestnuts,' the newly mar
ried may be found at work the next
day following the nuptials. 1t may
be the bride may put out big wash
ing, while the other half will be
found blowing corn and carrying
water simultaneously"

Death Dealing Wire Fences.

Since the use of wire fences has be-
come so extensive the number Of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insurance
companies have investigated the mat
ter, and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields, where,
in many instances, there was not even
tree to attract the electric fluid. AS
many dead cattle were found near
wire fences, this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing a severe storm cattle are liable to
run until stopped by fence. Here
they stand huddled together ready for
the bolt. A remedy is suggested in
running a ground wire every ten rods
several feet into the earth.

Couldn't Hurt TiIlman.

In Columbia, s. c., Senator Tillman
is not so popular as he is in other
parts of the Palmetto state. A few
days ago young Columbian entered
The outer Office of the leading dentist.
Coming out to meet his patient, the
dentist whispered excitedly:
Whom do you s'pose I've got inside
here? Old one-eyed Ben Tillman! And
If don't make him squeal nobody can.
I won't do g. thing to- him-oh, myw
And the dental surgeon brandished his
forceps gleefully and returned to the
pleasure of torturing the senator.
Next day the same young man came
again.
"Well, did you succeed in making
Tfllman yell?" he asked.
The dentist shook his head sadly.
"No'' he replied in disappointed
tone, Il couldn't make him finch. He
didn't make a sound. and, dye know,
when he got out of the chair he turned
to me with a smile and said:
Say, doctor, 1 didn't know before
that you ran a painless dental shop

Strategy of Senator Cullom.

In the campaign of 1900 Senator Gull
lom was called on to face a large au-
dience in his home city of Springfield.
He saw in the audience a fellow
townsman who formerly had been an
influential Republican, but who had
joined the opposing army.
This man arose from his seat and
apparently was ready to begin a series
of ''catch questions" Before this in
tentiOn could be put into execution
Senator Cullom paused in his speech
and in a conversational tone called
out:
"John Simpson, you're too old a man
to stand up in any audience that l
talk to; just come right up here and
hold down this chair next to NINE"
The invitation was accepted, and at
the close of the mass meeting the man
announced that he was "back in the
fold" and had ''come to stay."-Chi-
cago Journal.

A Child's Conn ent.

John d. Rockefeller, ST., Il attended
church one Sunday morning in a
quaint little wooden Westinghouse
where the pews were pine boards.
'"The minister was a good, sincere,
really eloquent man, but he had con-
tracted an unfortunate habit Of bel
lowing like a bull. His voice shook
the rafters. The sound overwhelmed
the sense, and it was often impossi-

mans meaning.
'He was especially loud during the
prayer. 1 never heard such an up
roar as filled the little building while
this minister prayed. After he was

minicked Dog Which Lost the Uss
of Ona po.,

Of One Paw
There are limitations every
where, but the dog whose doiNes
are recorded in Popula Science
News was possibly one Of Che best
canine mimics on record Ills
name was Scott and he was Il
puppy newly introduced into t
certain family circle. In the
neighboring house lived Rab, Il
dog that had grown to an old age
Of dignity and responsibility. At
first the older dog ignored the
puppy which inappearance was al
most an exact picture of himself.
Then the two became firm friends.
Scott was an attendant on Rab's
every movement. They ate to
gether, slept together and hunted
together.
They were also as one in bark
ing at passing teams Now bark
ing at teams was forbidden and
brought many whippings, but the
temptation was strong and the
master and mistress were not al.
ways present. The sight of the
hose-cart whirling past, one day,
with rattle and clatter, was a chat
lenge no high-spirited dog could
resist. 1t gave Rab an opportuni-
ty to show to his young friend
how close to flying hose.cart it
is possible to run with impunity.
Alas for pridel He ran an inch
too near, or the cart swerved
slightly, and the wheel passed
over one Of Rab's paws. Although
the injury was scientifically treat
ed Rab was ever after forced to 90
on three legs and hold the injured
paw suspended.
Scott noticed Rab's changed
method of locomOtion. and, like
the thorough cOurtier he was, inn
mediately adopted the new gait
He was so clever in, his imitation
that it was difficult to tell which
dog went lame from necessity and
which limped because he thought
it was desirable and graceful.
Close observation, however.
showed that Scott's shapely paw
lacked the helpless hang of the
older dogs wounded member
and that the saucy cock Of his
ears was at variance with
the mOurnful hang of Rab's.
Scott was a consistent cheat, al
ways holding up the same paw
that Rab did and never forgetting
this voluntary lameness except on
occasions of great excitement,
when he was in too great hurry,
having four legs, to cOnfine him.
