a~bstainer, the finest vintage wines are
always offered to such guests as dine
at the palace.
The recent visit of the Shah of Persia
to England recalls a former call of his
upon Queen Victoria, when London
was startled at the Oriental methods
employed by this picturesque Eastern
potentate. Thousands of dollars worth
of damage was done in the famous
Buckingham Palace by the nochalant
orders of the Shah. The sheep which
provided his mutton were brought into
the palace rooms, which had been
placed at his royal disposal, and
slaughtered upon the magnificent and
costly rugs and other such ~extrayagant
practices were the order of the day.
While the meat which the Shah eats is
always supposed to be slaughtered be-
fore his eyes, it was believed at the time
that these performances were simply
the carrying out of an Eastern regal
fancy, to show Western barbarians
what the Orient was accustomed to.
The Queens maids of honor have
very little to do. They live at home,
and when the Queen is in London they
are conveyed to Buckingham Palace
after luncheon in royal carriages, and
remain in a suite of charming salons
until required to accompany the Queen
and her unmarried daughter out
driving. They must dress very well
and not appear in the same clothes too
often, and, above all, study the wishes
of Her Majesty in regard to colors and
modes. The millinery embargo, that is,
not to wear a picture hat, must be fol
lowed to the letter. With a salary Of
81. 500 and the attachment of Honor
able" to their names, the fair maids-of-
honor manage to worry along until
they marry,

COUNTING UNCLE SAN'S CASH.
Occurs Every Time a New Treasurer
Is Appointed.

Owing to the recent change In the
Office of Treasurer of IA UAted
States, a task of no small magnitude Is
going on in the Treasury Building
Every time one Treasurer gives way 10
another the cash must be ceuHtea ana
verified before the new official becsnes
responsible for the money under MS
care.
AS soon as a change is made the
Secretary of the Treasury appsints a
Committee of Three to select a fierce to
count the cash. This committee picks
out a number of clerks in the various
offices of the Department, and they are
set at work to count the millions. Fer
haps there may be forty men selected
to perform this huge count; maybe
fifty or eighty. 1t is always considered
an honor to be one of these counters.
The total sum counted by these men
is somewhere in the n~eighborhood or
five hundred and thirty millions IN
money, bonds. notes and everything
else. One vault alone contains over a
hundred millions in silver dollars. An
other has u heavy amount of silver
fractional currency, and many tons or
nickel five-cent pieces and pennies.
The working cash is handled first,
and in order to give it a chance to do
regular duty 1t is counted at night.
Most of the money is counted In bulk
and stored away in bags, each contain
ing a certain sum. These are weighed,
and if there is even n dollar short,
there is instant detection of the wrong
count. As each bag is filled by a clerk,

discrepancy in the number OF coins or
any coin missing from the sack is

to check any tendency toward dis
honesty, but also to cause each counter

The SAYING OF OREGON.
HOW DIR. WHITMAN BRAVED
BILLIARDS. and DEATH.
Determined to Save Country From
British = Daniel Webster Opposed
to Retaining Territory.

A bloody trophy in possession of the
government at Washington is an In
dian hatchet. The tomahawk reeks
with red and horid association. 1t is
the weapon with which DR.. Marcus
Whitman, the Indian missionary and
his wife were slain in 1917 and with
which the first blow of the tearsome
Whitman masaere was begun-an en-
ormous crime which nearly Obliterated
the white American settlers in the Ore
gon country, sent a thrill of horror
and Indignation throughout the Amer-
lean republic and saved to the Amer
lean people the great northwest coun-
try out of which Oregon, Washington
and other states We're created. It Is
one of the very cruel chapters in his
tory-a chapter embracing eight years
of war between settlers and sayages
the result of which was that the Hud-
sons Bay Company aud the British
crown were compelled to relinguish
their claim to the territory. Another
result was the virtual humiliation OF
the GaYuse tribe of Indians. So much
tragic history centers about this rusty
hatehet that it is ole of the rarest rel,
les of the government. \ government

There was nothing original In Gov.
Folks address at Chautauqua, n. Y,
recently, but the well-known truth he
enunciated took on greater weight for
his Endorsement. He is no closet phil
osopher, giving to the public the re-
suits Of reading and speculation, but
a man of affairs who has done things
and noted the consequences. He was
elected District Attorney in st. Louis
in the expectation that he would ignore
the laws and let those who were VIC
lating them continue to flourish on
their iniquities. Instead of that, he
enforced the laws and saw conditions
all around him rapidly improve. When
therefore, such a man tells us that a
cure for many of the Ills we are endur-
ing as a people is the simple execution
of the laws, he has the strongest pos
sible claim upon our attention, and his
advice is worth following. Laws are
of little use unless their enforcement
is demanded and backed up by public
sentiment.

gress allowing the railroad companies
to construct this station, provision
was made to drive a tunnel directly
beneath the Capitol building, with ele-
vators running Immediately from the
Senate Chamber and the House Cham
Der into private Congressional stations.
This would have enabled the United
States Senator from Oregon, for in
stance, to pass out of the Senate and
walk directly aboard his Pullman

western home. A great convenience
this, doubtless. TO delicate legislators ;

The World Moves Quickly.

How the thought of the world passes
from one thing to another. and then
forgets. Attention for months was
conferred upon Port Arthur, and then
it was transferred to the movements
of the naval fleets, the meeting of
which was so disastrous to Russian
hopes. 1t will be remembered that
when Rojestyensky entered the China
Sea he wired to the Gar: If | am
victorious | shall inform you. If am
yauguished, Togo will inform you"
To the public Port Arthur is no more
than one of the countless red
splotches that disigure history, and
the naval battle of all history is
already relegated to dry discussions as
TO what branch of service was most
disastrous to ship and lives.

The Unemployed in Germany.

1t seems from consular reports that
there are none. Colonies for the so
called unemployed" take tnem out OF
this class Immediately and make pau
perism unknown. Each city supports
large Offices where hunters for work
go and register. They get a bath, have
their clothing disinfected, and if the
unions which support these institutions
have no work for them in cities, they
are sent to the farm colonies in the
country, where they can work at farm
ing, land reclamation, and in other pro-
ductive capacities. The system of
these unions is said to be very com
~prehensiye; they are open to all, and
besides providing opportunities for
workers, have systems of old age pen
sions, insurance against accidents, and
other benefits.

house and asked for medicine. As
the missionary turned to his medicine
chest the savage buried his toma-
hawk in the good mans brain. Mrs.
Whitman was killed a minute later
by the same savage with the same
weapon. The murder of the mission
airy was the signal for the wholesale
slaughter to begin. The butchery COM

firearms. the groaHs of the dying,
scream of women, yells of the painted
demons filled the air. The Indians

children of the settlers sank under
