THE PRESIDENTS ADVISERS.
Personal Characteristics of the Men
on Whom He Relies

Whom He Relies.
Wilson and Hitchcock are the chuma
of the cabinet. They often go away
from the cabinet meetings together.
Hitchcock is the most aristocratic-ap-
pearing of the secretaries, with a hand
some face, though a strong one, which
is well set off by his white hair and
mustache. Wilson never smokes and
often carries his hands in his coat peck
cts. Hitchcock generally lights a cigar
as they start out, and they talk quietly
and seemingly without animation, though
evidently interesting each the other i'm
mensely.
Moody is a little shorter than the
President, stocky, looks the athlete, has
a well-knit form, a rudy face, and
walks well. He rides with joy and sits
on his horse as if he grew in the sad
die. He is the only bachelor in the
cabinet.
Root, slender, intense, with keen, in
tellectual face and eyes that sometimes
smolder, sometimes flame, was not popu-
lar when he began as Secretary of War,
but as Secretary of State he nov knows
better how to get along with the CORE
spondents and every one else.
Cortelyou, black-eyed handsome, neat,
reserved, but never discourteous, will
always seem the accomplished chief
clerk to some of the old-timers of Wash
ington. He has only one dissipation
music.
Bonaparte always dresses in black
His big head rolls from side to side
when he walks, and the Bonaparte smile
who hasn't read of it?-is always in
evidence. His walk is long and swing
ing and he seems to be nervous when
he sits. He doesn't look like a French
MANN fact, the blood he has inherit
ed from the Bonapartes isn't French at
all, but Corsican. He doesn't often talk
of his royal ancestor, and is said to be
glad he doesn't resemble him.
Metcalf is so quiet that he is known
as the modest Secretary. He is a good
looking chap with grazing hair and
mustache.

To a sensitive nature encouragement
is what sunlight is to a flower, the
one thing without which it cannot ar
rive at perfection.
Naturally a man turns to his wife
for encouragement. She knows him
better than anyone else; she, while
realizing his limitations, can best
measure his strength; she, he argues,
will have unbounded faith in him and
the desire to justify that faith will be
his strongest incentive to effort.
There are dozens of occasions when
a man inevitably turns to his wife for
sympathy and encouragement, and woe
be to both if she be not able to give
them.
The best way to help a man is to
believe in him-indeed, sometimes it
is the only way.

How to BE Slender.

How to become slender! Let the
maiden inclined to embonpoint follow
this advice, and her form should be-
come as willowy as she could wish:
Rise early and take a cold bath, rub
bing vigorously afterward with a
coarse towel or flesh brush. Take a
cupful of water before breakfast. Take
one small cup of tea at breakfast,
some dry toast, boiled fish or a small
outlet and a baked apple or a little
fruit. At dinner, which should be at
midday, take white fish or meat, dry
toast or stale bread, vegetables or
fruit, either fresh or stewed; for sup
Per, toast, salad, fruit and six ounces
OF wine or water Hot water with
lemon juice in it is also good for sup
per. When you have followed all these
rules and find yourself fairy-like in
proportion, then you may begin to con-
template smart clothes such as only
the slender can wear.

WHERE BRITISH SOLDIERS MET

In All Their Military Finery Among
New Hampshire Hills.
There is probably not to be found in
all New England more unique mon
ument than that which occupies COM
handing position on the main high
way between Durham and Hollis, n.
FL. 1t Is unique, not only that it stands
in lonely position at some distance
from human habitation, but also in
what it commentaries, says the Eos
ton Herald.
The attention of the tourist is at
tracted first at the sight of monu-
ment in SO singular a position. He
instinctively pauses to learn what
great event or victory it celebrates,
and is amazed to read the following
Inscription:
AFTER the surrender of Burgoyne
at Saratoga in 1777 certain British of,
ficers, prisoners of war quartered N
this vicinity, but released upon parole,
were permitted to enjoy, in all their
military finery, trysting place at this
spot"
1t has long been the custom to com.
memorate great events and victories
by monuments, but seldom indeed has
such a circumstance as this been SO
cOmmemorated.
Those were strenuous days in which
Burgoyne met Gates and defeat, as
descendants of the sturdy ''boys of
'76" will tell you, and only events of
more than ordinary interest and ex.
element were noticed.
Just who these officers were who
were Quartered here, or what occu~.
rences warranted the erection of this
monument, is not known. The region
is replete with interesting traditions of
those exciting days that have come
down through generations of storytell-
ers. Whether these traditions be found.
ed on fact or not, one thing is GER
tain, those in whose charge these pris-
oners of war were placed were true
Americans, honoring the foe even in
his defeat.
Every kindness seems to have been
shown them, every possible courtesy
granted them. Notwithstanding the
repugnance with which the New Eng
lander looked upon the red coat of
the British officer, they were permitted
to wear it and to enjoy trysting place
under the branches of this old tree,
whose branches have sheltered gener-
ations of sturdy sons and daughters
Of this land of freedom.
The monument is a plain, well-pol-
ished granite slab and stands on a lit
tie eminence commanding a view of
the main highway. 1t occupies such
position that the passers by cannot fail
to get full view of this interesting
and historical spot

How Pa Rests.

When pa comes home at night ma says
Nov, children, you must quiet be;
Poor pa is tired most to death
And III be quick and get his tea"
Then pa comes in and claps his hands,
And says. "Hurrah for little TIM!
And right away We children know
That we shall have some fun with
him.
The baby in her high chair crows,
And stretches out her arms to him;
And soon he takes her on one knee,
And on the other handles Jim.
And Juliet and Kate and me
We hang upon his rocking chair,
And every breath we talk to him,
And pat his face and smooth his hair.
And ma she gets the supper on
And says, ''Do, children, let him be!
Poor pa don't get a minutes rest;
Now let him come and have his tea. f"
And then we hold him fast and tight,
Until he pulls and breaks away,
And then we chase him round the
room
Pa is the greatest one for play!
And then ma smiles and says, Dear me!
You're wilder than the children, Ned!
Now quiet down and come and eat,
And then I'll put them straight to
bed"
And ma, she means it, truly, true;
But pa, he looks at Kate and me,
And then he looks like that we know
ThereIl ,e a frolic after tea.

PLENTY MAKES A CANINE
Railroads Cannot Handle Amount
of Traffic Offered Them.

Railroads Cannot Handle Amount
of Traffic offered Them.
The present situation of the railroad
business is comparable to the case of
farmer who has raised big crops but
who has to take them to market in a
wbHelbarrow instead of in wagons drawn
by horses. Such are the results of the
car famine. One western railroad with
headquarters at Chicago reports that
there is not a moment nowadays when
it could not use a thousand more cars
than it has, if it possessed them. The
managers say that they have given up
trying to handle the business that is Of
fered them.
Normally, there is the problem Of the
return freight to be dealt with in the
matter. A million cars, all going east
with cargOes Of grain. but returning
empty, would not afford profit to the
railroad except at high rate. But just
now not a car goes empty either way.
There is business enough for all.
Though the congestion is decidedly
inconvenient and is driving shippers and
railroad men frantic it has its very re-
assuring side. 1t is the immediate ex-
preston of an abundance which will
soon make itself felt in every home
The shout for "more cars" which follows
the traffic managers over the telephone
to their very beds is really PAGAN Of
prosperity.

1.-THE SIMPLE LIFE"
Is 1t Really Worth While to Live
and Achieve NOthingf

anu Achieve
1t is a question, after all, as to
whether the greater conveniences of
the life of to-day are not far more in
the line of necessities than of luxuries !;
whether the pressing modern life is not
so great as to absolutely demand d
range of special appliances for its gen.
eral conduct, observes a writer in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. For
instance, the latter-day undergraduate
at college usually has his suite of
study, bedroom and bath, if not more;
electric lighted, earth radiator heat,
telephones and every modern conven-
lences-a striking contrast to the one
room, often without heat, save by the
primitive stove, the light furnished only
by a lamp, and without running water,
which, in former generations furnished
the equipment of living. But what
would have been luxury a century ago
is a necessity Of to-day. The intensity
of latter-day life demands every posi-
BILE time-saving convenience. 1t is as
necessary as it is to have railroads to
cross the continent in five days. in
stead of travelling in camp wagons for
six months. The charge that life is sor-
did and material simply because it
is invested with conveniences and ap-
planes and labor-saying and time-sav-
ing devices, Is, perhaps, very unjust
one. There has been a great deal of
talk about the simple" life-not as
the source of simplicity and earnest
ness and truth-not in the sense of the
simple and straightforward life, men
tally and morally, but in the sense of
limitations and privations, so far as
we could discover; its most vociferous
advocates, indeed, being chose who
least illustrated the alleged virtue for
which they clamored. The Chinese
have proverb that it is not worth
while to cut off ones feet to save buy
ing shoes, and the simple" life as
advocated by those (who on no ac-
count would practice it,, was limiteS
TO the cutting off the feet, so to speak,
in order to save buying the shoes. AS
a matter of fact, it is better to buy
the shoes and then-achieve something
by means of having them. Instead of
taking the negative side of virtues,
why not choose the positive side. and
proceed to accomplish something?

Ideal Wnmnnhnnh-

Above all other things a woman
who would be charming must possess
true and noble heart, full of love
and sympathy for her fellow beings,
and an intelligent mind capable of
seeing matters from more than one
standpoint. Any fair one thus endow-
ed by nature undeniably has within
herself the possibilities for ideal wom-

Bran BAGS.

A most refreshing addition to ones
bath is a bran or oatmeal bag. The
bags can be made of cheesecloth about
the size of an ordinary bean-bag. The
mixture for filing the bags is made as
follows: Three pounds of oatmeal;
one-half pound of almond meal, one
half pound of orris root, and little
powdered CASTLE soap. If you have any
little pieces of CASTLE soap left at any
time in your soap dish save them.
They can be used in place of TIE pow
dered CASTLE soap. You can put them
in the bags whole or scrape them
down This mixture is more effective
when the meal is boiled for fifteen min
utes and then put into the bags.
Squeeze the bags now and then to get
the best results.

The Value of systematfc Accounts

VI
Too few housewives recognize the
importance of accurate account keep
ing, yet by such means alone can the
current expenses be noted, so as to
keep them within the family income
The price of all purchases, what
money has already been spent how
much there is in hand, whether there
has been undue extravaganza in any
one branch and where retrenchment
may most effectually be made are all
taught by the account book.
Regular daily entries are necessary
to insure accuracy. If entries are de-
ferred day or two the exact details
are forgotten, and either many things
are entered as sundries or a trifie is
added here and there to make the to-
tails balance. and so all the accounts
are worthless.
In order that a house mistress may
plan her expenditure wisely she should
lave a regular allowance, paid week
ly or monthly. The amount is some
times proportioned to the number of
