Refuse to Be Put Back.

Keep trying. That is the very best
one can do. He is surely beaten who
does not try. Perseverance is sure to
carry one ahead. 1t has been said of the
British in warfare that they never know
when they are beaten. Willful ignorance
of that same kind has won some splendid
victories in battles with encouragement
and hard conditions. Never know your
self as beaten. You may be headed off
in one direction; just try another.
There's way up and way out of him
ORANGES for him who keeps on climbing.
Find a way or make one. Refuse to be
put back. You may not get just where
you think you ought to be, but really you
are succeeding all the while you are
trying, because you are doing your best.

preached her with a halter she plunged
and reared, raced madly round and
round the paddock Presently she
quoted down and the trainer got near
enough to slip Moose around her right

doing so got her left leg entangled in
it. She was thrown forward on her front
legs in a kneeling position, and then
with gentle push sent rolling on her
side. Her four legs were then bound
with ropes until she was utterly help
less. For an hour she was left in this
plight, then the ropes were removed
from her feet and she got up meek
and submissive creature.
She stood still while bit was placed
in her mouth and a saddle strapped to
her back. Capt. Hayes climbed into the

you dare not do it, exclaimed the
boys.
Now Jack was not what you would
call hero, but he was a meddlesone,
tricky boy.
WELL" he shouted, "I'm going to
have some fun, anyway" And as none
of the other boys would join him, he
unhitched the horse and jumped in.
No sooner did old Charlie feel the
strange hand on the lines than he
wheeled short around and headed for
home.
Get up!" cried Jack, as he grinncd
at his playmates. And Charlie did
"get up" He almost forgot that he
was no longer a colt. Faster and
faster he went, until Jack thought
it was time to slow down and turn
around.
Charlie thought otherwise. He had
the bit we'll in his mouth, and had his
mind fully set upon going home. 1t

man without force and tact could have
shown the organizing ability which Cor
telyou has shown both in the executive
offices and in the department of COM
merce and labor When Cortelyou went
to the white house from the post office
department in Cleveland's second adj
ministration he was known to the presi-
dent only as capable shorthand writer
and republican at that. He hadn't been
in his new place fortnight before he
began to systematic the white house
work and to organize the clerical force.
Where before there had been haphazard
confusion, there appeared an orderly
method of doing business and the be-
ginning Of system which, elaborated
under Mckinley, has developed marvel
ously.
Nobody who frequented the white
house under the administrations preced-
ing Cleveland's second term and who
had not since been in Washington would
recognize the executive Offices. They
have become to all intents and pur-
poses new and admirably conducted
department of the government; and the
work was practically begun and COM
pleted by Cortelyou.
He perfected also the system under
which a president can transact the bust
ness of his Office as quickly and satisfac-
torily 5000 miles away from Washing
ton as he can in the white house itself.
The journeys of Mckinley and Roose-
welt would have been impossible had
1t not been for Cortelyou's organizing
ability-an organizing ability that would
have been invaluable to any business
concern.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1904-08-10

new department than in any other de-
partment of the government during the
past IL months.
For an example, the chief clerk OF
the department, Frank Hitchcock, may
be taken. Young Hitchcock when he
was selected for his present position
was at the head of the division of for
eign markets in the agricultural de-
partment. He was put in charge OF
new department last spring and from
that day to this he has been tied to
his desk practically every waking hour.
The only time he has been away was
when he went home to vote last fall
Sundays and holidays have been in
distinguishable for him; but, more
than that, he has doubled the hours
of labor every day, working almost in
variably till midnight, so that the
Waterman of the building began to
keep track of him and found by actual
count that in the course of the month
he gave to the government % extra
days Of labor, counting by the regular
department scale.
That is one of the hard features of
department life. Hitchcock, have no
doubt, toiled as he did, not altogether
from love for the work, but partly be-
cause he felt that he, was earning the
recognition of his superiors. But now
the one man who knows what he has
done and how much it has meant takes
his departure and there is nothing to
do but run the chances with a. new
secretary who, whatever his inten-
lions, can never understand all that
has been gone through. Yet that is in
way what happens every time there
is change of administration here anc
a new lot of officers come in unfamiliar
with what they have to undertake.

climbed into DR.. Aliens buggy
and called: Get up" Charlie knew
that it was not his master who was
Jerking unlindly at the lines Char
lie also knew the shortest way home,
and he remembered that the Doctors
drives often lasted all day. Had he
felt as frisky as he once did, and es
pecially had he known that Jack Myers,
the boy who was always playing tricks,
was now trying one of them on the
doctor and his good horse, there is no
telling what might have happened.
Of course, the other boys were some
what to blame. They had all seen
the doctor tie his horse to the gate and
pass up the long walk by the evergreen
hedge to the big house, almost hidden
by the trees. Jack had remarked what

About six months ago couple of
employees who were about to be dis
charged thought to clear themselves by
bringing charges against the secretary
of irregularity in Office. An investiga-
ton was ordered. Moseley did not wait
to 30 asked to give up the keys to
his Office and his desks with all his pa

the entire establishment over to the
Investigators He gave them access not
only to the papers at the commission,
but to all his private papers, his safety
deposit boxes and his correspondence.
1t is doubtful whether the public and
private business of any man was ever
more closely scrutinized. The secret
service agents were put to work and
his life for 20 years was laid bare.
The result of the investigation was
made public day or two ago. 1t was
complete exoneration. 1t could not
be found that thing was out of the
way in Moseley's conduct from begin
ming to end. The commission has
made report to that effect and the
president, who carefully examined all
the papers himself, showed his appre-
citation of a faithful officer by himself
adding his approval and directing that
the vindication be given the fullest
publicity.

Atfirst neither Mike, the good-natured

Long before the boy had walked the
tedious four miles back, he had fully
made up his mind to tell his father,
and also the doctor, the whole story.
Another thing he had resolved was
that he would never again play mean
and meddlesome trick.
He was nearly home when he met

Jack thanked him, and then walked

SECRETARY ootte'ou' that it may seem q
waste of words to say anything about it
again, but there are some features OF his
extraordinary career which will bear
REPETITION now in connection with his
latest assignment to duty. because they
bear especially on the question OF his
his qualification for the position. In the
FIRST place Cortelyou is not novice in
politics nor inexperienced in the ways
of national committees. The secretary
to president must, as matter Of course,
come constantly in contact with every
political phase and become acquainted
with every man of political consequence.
Cortelyou was with Mckinley for five
years, and he has been with Roosevelt
for nearly three, first as secretary, then
as a member of the cabinet. There is
no other man in the United States who,
from the nature of his experience, has so
wide an acquaintance among public
men.
During the campaign of 1900 he was in
hourly communication with Chairman
Hanna and with the other officials of
the national committee, and there was
little about the machinery of the cam
paign with which he did not become ia
miliar. He will represent in the new
committee, if he becomes chairman, all
the latest sentiment for the martyred
president which is still so strong force
in the republican party. In addition he
will represent all the new sentiment
which may have come to the party dur
jng the incumbency of President Roose-
welt.
