Stlck to a Good JOE.

A weary little public school teacher,
worried into a state of hysteria by a
long year with class of unruly slum
children, threw up her position, and,
misled by the success OF a friend, un-

had just the qualities that make good

She remembered that her friend had

the three months had come a position
at $5 per week with eight hours Of un-
interrupted typewriting each day, after
which, in order to make headway to-

Cost a Small Fortune.

Senator Martin of Virginia is out OF
pocket $11,5 500 in expenditures to se-
cure a denomination to the United
States Senate. This is more than one
third of the salary he would receive
during the whole six years of his new
term. The expenditure, 1t seems, was
necessary. The Senator had a popular
opponent who set a hot pace and kept
it up to the end. There was nothing
for Mr.. Martin to do but to canvass
the State from end to end and this,
with other necessary expenses, ran the
total high. This fight of Senator Mar
tin for denomination and the neces-
sary large expenditure, which is looked
upon as entirely legitimate and free
from any corruption, has aroused con-
siderable comment among politicians
and prominent men at Washington, as
being an exceptional clear cut ex-
ample of present political methods and
necessities.

When this marvellous production of
Persian artists and weavers was
spread out before his majesty at
Buckingham Palace he must have
been reminded of some of the scenes
depicted in the arabian Nights"
1t had been known for some days
past that a special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon
the King, and there was some specula-
tion as to the object of his mission.
The secret was well kept, and 1t was
not until the arrival of the ambassador
at the palace that any information
could be gained as to the contents OF
the great packing case over. which he
kept vigilalt guard.
For more than two years quite a
little army of designers and weavers
has been constantly at work upon
the carpet and the result has been the
production of what even in Persia
must be considered royal master
piece.

The fact is, M. Witte began his act
of humility while in this country. He
referred to the Car at all times as his
august master and while crossing the
Atlantic ocean, when accorded deserved
honor for his diplomacy, was quick to
disavow being worthy of the least

There Is pathos in the attitude of the
great Russian statesman, M. Witte,
largely to whose diplomacy the Car
owes the favorable conclusion Of the
war with Japan, in his presentation in
person to his majesty, of report on
the details of whose historic meetings
at Portsmouth which were so managed
as to "save the face" of Russia, as
they say in the far East. 1t is difficult
for an American to understand the ma
ture OF this meeting between Czar and
subject, and although we as a people
cannot admire M. Whites braggadocio,
we must in fact feel sorry for man
who returns to his country after ac-
complishing so much in her behalf and
finds it at once necessary to plan an
intrigue in order to prevent effacement.

Petersburg can imagine the conditions
influencing this interview between the
Czar and his representative who has

continent and furnish pie to every
man, woman and child in the United
! States.
The story of the actual performance
of the pie machine is truly wonderful.
In fact two machines are necessary.
In the first the crust Is produced.
| Instead of pie pans, molds like waffle
| irons are used to form the crust. as
the molds pass along on an endless
chain, they move q lever at one end
which permits the pie dough to enter
the pans, shaped something like waffle
irons, and they then pass between two
sets of burners which take the place OF
the oven. OF course before the dough
is released the irons are heated to the
proper temperature. The dough is con-
tanned in a huge tank above the ma
chine, a feed pipe running down, and
by means of a piston, just enough
dough is forced down to fill one of the
molds as it passes under the pipe.
The strokes of the piston are SO regu-
lated as to be timed with the arrival
of each pan under the pipe. As soon as
the crust is baked they are removed
by an attendant who stands at one end
of the machine. These crusts are then
arranged on a large pan which is taken
up by another attendant who places
the crusts in the second machine.
Filling by the Ton.
This is also Of the endless chain type,
with two vast watts at one end, one of
which cont9' IS the lemon filling and
the other the meringue. BY carefully
regulated ratchets the filling and the
meringue are fed alternately. The
pies then pass on to an overhead
burner which gives the top of the
meringue a rich brown. The pie, thus
completed, is passed out from under
the baker and is ready for disposal by
the American pie eater.

Expectations That he Would Fail.


The return Of M. Witte to st. Pc
tersburg also has a special interest
because. as is fully understood in the
inner circles of the Diplomatic Corps
ait Washington, his appointment as a
peace commissioner to represent the
Car was given him not for his benefit
but was brought about by his enemies
who expected that his failure to effect
a successful peace negotiation would
be his permanent political undoing. 1t
was M. Witte who opposed the war and
favored its conclusion long before peace
was arranged. He was detested by the
military party, and the intrigues OF the
Russian court placed him in an un-
comfortable position before the Car.
1t was argued that il he could be sent
on the impossible mission of making
peace when the entire court was con-
vinced that the attitude of Japan would
make the peace conference failure, he
would return discredited and forced for
the first time in his career to approve
the continuance of the war, which was
desired by certain of the court digni-
taries up to the time peace was de-
clared. p

artful diplomacy of NJ. Witte have con.
