 But do you think 1t safe7" asked MT. Morton
 "6afew exclaimed his secretary. Why. don't know what you mean"
 T can bet good round sum you don't" replied the naval chief. "But you step across the hall and tell the assistant secretary of the navy to come around Then get the judge ad- vocate of this department, and if you should see any admirals or bureau chiefs bring them hither'
 The secretary was astonished.
 "I mean every word," MT. Morton persisted, solemn as an owl. If I sign those papers I may go to jail. I suppose must take some risks in the line of my duty, but I intend to secure all the advice on the subject that can be procured in this depart ment won't be rash anyway"
 The papers related to the transpor- tation of supplies for the Mare Island navy yard across the continent to Cal ifornia, and only after humorous consultation for half an hour with va rious officials did Mir. Morton sign the papers and hand them to the waiting messenger of the chief clerk All this time messengers, clerks and others who had heard of the affair were waiting amazed for the termina- ton of such remarkable proceeding
 Mir. Morton has been essentially a business man and has never, it is said, run to fads or foibles While he has maintained modest stable, he is in no sense horseman; neither has he been prominently identified with yacht ing or golfng. He Is a man of simple tastes and strenuous accomplishments. Even in his younger days in Chicago

BoyieA praals heok h ths slxt1su usariy dpprassd t3 unltsd eatss q | futurs cabinst mlnistur and tha Equitable Of ts Asw head. ons day Joy Morton. elder brother of Paul, started to ''play doctor" and 'got square" with tho world for some blt. ter doses that had been poured down his boyish throat. He chose Paul fot his patient. produced . bottle from the family medicine kit, donned hia fathers hat and spectacles and en. tered the room where the patient had been put to bed. After this profss. sional visit Paul was discovered to be unconscious. When Joy wss ques. toned about the days doings, 1t trans pired that he had given his brother lRudanum, and only through the real family doctors heroic work was Paul's life saved.
 Vigorous In Mind and Brimful of Energy.
 Paul attended school until he was nearly sixteen. and then, in 1872, he became an office boy in the Burlington and Missouri River railroads land of. flee at Burlington. Ia.. at S18 month. Vigorous in mind and body and brim- ful of energy, he achieved his career by combination of industry and na- tive keenness. This advancement was steady and rapid in western railroad work, and in 1896 he was installed as vice president of the Santa Fe railroad system and took charge of it's entire traffic.. This position he held until he became secretary of the navy last June.
 Always edger. alert and intelligent, Morton never lost 9 business oppor- tunity for himself or the corpora tions which he served. In this con- nection a characteristic story is re- lated of the manner in which he be- came general freight agent of the Bur lington road. At that time he was a bureau chief in the general offices of the company, and, together with other bureau chiefs, he was summoned one day into the general managers office and informed that the general freight agent had resigned Sugges- tions as to the choice of a successor were asked for by the general man. ager.

TO ESCAPE INSECTS.
Rotation of Crops Effects Much Good in Kidding Farm of Destrue-
 tive Life.

On a farm of good size the beat way to keep the destructive insects down is to rotate crops. find that in that way I can generally escape the wort of the insect pests. says . Michigan farmer in the Farmers Review. Where the same crop is planted on the same field year after year the insects have a chance to establish themselves fn colonies. In the case of the plant lice on corn roots there is little danger the first year because the ants are the real mischief-makers. If the field has been in oats the previous year we may ex- pect 10 find no ants there. for lice do not feed on the roots of the oat plant Not till corn has been on the sams land for several years will the ant in. vssion become serious. and without ths apt invasion ve have nothing to fear from the lice.
 The Hessian fly Is quite easily stamp cd out by taking away his food supply for one year. but ve must do that by depriving this insect of all of his unfn- stays in feeding-wheat. rye and bar. ley Not only must we put the lana into something else than shose crops. but ve must be careful that In shs field planted to corn or potatoo ns volunteer wheat. rye or bariey is pu1 mitted to grow.

The suggestion was accepted, and Morton was appointed to the position. @
 Energetic AS A YouuS Man.

IDe suggestion was dCcepteu, duu Morton was appointed to the position. Energetic as a Young Man.
 Mir. Morton's energy as youth is de- pIcted by the following story:
 With only a common school educa- tion. Paul at the age of sixteen was booming western real estate as land agent for the Burlington railway sys- tenn. He was working on salary and commission.
 How much did you make this month";" his father asked him one day.
 Young Morton took out an account book and added some figures. About s400." he replied.
 T didn't know what to say" his fa- ther used to remark in telling the story T didn't know whether 10 be proud of such a boy or ashamed of a man who would let such youngster get ahead of him and make more money than he did"
 Scorn for obstacles is one of the most noticeable characteristics about Paul Morton. A story is told about a gate through a railway that fenced off part of an office in which Mr. Morton worked at one time. This gate had uysterious patent fastener that would rot work unless one knew the right spot and touched it. Preoccup;ed with business matters. Morton bumped against that gate day after day. Finally in one of his swinging strides he broke the lock and was evidently pleased. Yet he was not satisfied. so thereafter ec daily used his foot and played foot ball with the gate until its hinges were broken. and the janitor was ordered to carry it away
