The authorship of this ri1ne has never
been discovered. All that is definitely
known is that an elderly actor repeated

who, in turn, recited them to the head of
his department. The latter, part of
whose duties consisted in the invention
of designs for framed mottos, with an
eye to new suggestions, seized upon the

fusely illustrated decoration. The Wis
dom of his judgment soon justified itself
in the sale of twenty-five thousand copies

When Max Ehrman the Indiana au-

was later much dissatisfied On his
recovery to health, he discarded the
manuscript, but a friend rescued it from
the waste-basket, just as Mrs. Kipling
is said to have saved the Recessional''
She made a hand-illuminated copy of
the prayer, using old English type, and
presenting this to the author, impressed
its merit upon him. This copy afterward
found its way to the publisher, who at
once appreciated the value of the lines
and offered to publish them The

sacrilege that plumber should be prac-

contradiction that a person who could
admire such a sentiment should also be
capable of theft.

Former Secretary of War Elihu

Root spent last evening at the White

to accept the Craftsmanship of the

to Mr.. Root that the need of the stu,
alton is a man who could take the alb,

sponsible only to the president. In the
hands of such a man the president
was willing to place ample power. The

made subservient to the will Of the
