center of Az acres of beautiful
grounds, with thousands of roses and
other fragrant flowers to beautify the
surroundings.
7th-Eight hundred feet of wide YER
andas surround the hotel, giving to

making it impossible to return them,

er's name. Even live animals-a Shet-
land pony, Scotch collie, an Arabian
stallion-reach the White House. For
humane reasons Loeb orders these
anonymous living gifts fed until they
can be transferred to the national zoo.
Only a "Park Rider"
Besides all this, Loeb has been oblig
ed to decline at least twenty offers OF
automobiles from different manufac-
turers who sought thus to advertise
their machines. Loeb also receives in
Vulnerable offers of presents for him
self personally. Like the president. he
declines all excepting the least costly
from his intimate friends. And as for
automobiles. Loeb no more than his
chief will have anything to do with
them. He owns one of the Seth Bull
lock horses that were sold In Washing
ton and rides whenever he can. At a
jack rabbit hunt in Texas last spring
Loeb was in at the death every time.
The range riders, surprised at his rid
ing, complimented him, but Loeb mod
estly maintained that he was only a
park rider"
Like his official predecessor. Loeb is
a self made man. He is not college
bred. He's a plain public school boy.
AT twelve years of age he became
breadwinner. While learning short
hand he acted as secretary for Bishop
Doane and thus first became self sup
porting. AS a law reporter he became
actively interested in practical politics,
serving as secretary Of the Republican
county committee and as vice president
of the Unconditional Republican club,
all this in his native Albany. When
Roosevelt became governor of New
York Loeb was appointed one of the Of
fetal stenographers for the executive.
His ability to do things without specific
instructions on every point and his IA
miliarity with public men and affairs
attracted Roosevelt's notice. and Loeb
became the governors private secre-
tary. AS Roosevelt rose, then. so did
Loeb. When Roosevelt went to the
White House Loeb went with him and
in time succeeded Cortelyou as secre-
tary- Thus the man who began life as
stenographer became a presidents
second self. gibson WILLETS.

Hereafter 1t will be bad form, If not
seditious, for any member of the Ore
gon Development league or the Oregon
Press association to use the term
'Webfoot State" as applied to Oregon
or to refer to native Oregmians by
their long endured nickname of web
footers," says special dispatch from
Portland, Ore, to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. AT the closing session of their
joint convention, held in the parlors of
the Commercial club, at Portland, the
two organizations went on record
against the use of all nicknames which
reflect on Oregon's climate or cast
slur on the character of her citizens,
including not only the ones mentioned,
but 'mOsSback," "cow counties, etc,
and at the session of the press associa-
ton in the afternoon the action taken
at the joint meeting was clinched by
the adoption of q resolution that the
beaver, Oregon's original emblem, be
adopted and that the nickname Of
Beavers" appropriate and historically
correct, be applied to the industrious
citizens Of the commonwealth by those
who must use some sobriquet.
The action in joint convention was
taken on motion Of Tom Richardson,
secretary OF the Development league,
who said that serious harm had been
done by. the indiscrimnate use of the
terms ''Webfoot" and "Webfooter;;"
that thousands of dollars had been di-
verted from investment In Oregon by
the application of nickname intended
to convey the idea that Oregon's eli
mate was perpetually damp and disa-
greeable. whereas, in fact, the annual
rainfall of the state was less than that
of many other states of the Union.

The Most Ancient Specimens known

Throughout the early parts of Scrip
ture as well as through the poems Of
Homer not single passage occurs
from which can be inferred the exist
ence Of stamped money of any descrip-
tion. 1t is agreed that the Egyptians
had no coined money. Herodotus is
authority for the statement that the
Lydians were the first people who coin
ed gold and silver. The Pairan Chron-
icle, however, ascribes the first coin
age of copper and silver money to
Pheidon, king of Argos, S95 B. c., in
Aegina, which Aelian corroborates. and
the best numismatic antiquaries agree
in considering the coins of Aegina from
their archaic form and appearance the
most ancient known. They are of sill
yer and bear on the upper side the fig
ure of turtle and on the under an in
dented mark. Coins are among the
most certain evidences of history. In
the later part of the Greek series they
illustrate the chronology of reigns. In
the Roman series they fix the dates
and succession of events. Gibbon OBJ
serves that, If all our historians were

monuments would be sufficient to re-
cord the travels of Hadrian. The reign
of Probus might be written from his

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, Off

pairs of hands, feet, ears and
eyes and a second voice. The
presidents alter ego is William Loeb.
IJr., secretary to the president
Since the president entered the
White House the only occasions on
which he has been just his one self
include the periods of Loeb's brief
annual vacations and single day last
November, when Loeb was i'll for the
first and only time. Otherwise, night
and day, in Washington or in western
gwilds. the presidents other self has
been with him. One Christmas Loeb
set out to visit his parents in Albany,
N. Y. AS he boarded the train he was
handed a message calling him to the
White House. He abandoned his trip
forthwith, with his usual sunny smile.

When first he brought his charming
bride to Washington-she was Kathe-
rine Dorr of Buffalo-he lived at the
Hotel Richmond. The hotel I'm conse-
quence became known as the white
House annex" One evening Loeb
started from the ''annex" with his
bride for the theater. Just then came
a telephone summons from the White
House. Two nights later he again

letters which Loeb would like the pres
ident to see, but even such letters are
swamped i'll the mass of demands for
office and for pensions, notes of warn
ing and advice and requests for chari-
ty. In a single fortnight Loeb has
opened letters containing requests for
pecuniary aid to an amount exceeding
that of the presidents salary for a
year.
The labor at the White House is i'm
mense, and great part of that labor
falls upon Loeb. For the president
there is ceaseiess worry and harassing
anxiety. 1t is the duty of the presi-
dents second self to minimize that
worry and anxiety. To accomplish this
Loeb shoulders all details He is the
presidents memory and his timekeep-
or, his files, his records and his work
shop. No papers go to the presidents
desk except the papers Loeb himself
puts there. Then always the presidents
travelling engagements must be consid-
cred. All papers relating to matters to
be taken up on trip are kept in a
folder. SO that when the president
leaves the White House Loeb has all
the matters needing the executives at
tention on that journey all ready In
compact form in his grip.
Loeb's Call Box.
The president summons Loeb to his
private Office by means of an electric
device in a box close to Loeb's desk
When the president pushes button q
short, sharp, snappy sound is produced
in the box. One day an old gentleman
came to see Mr.. Roosevelt. Loeb said
he would arrange the matter and left
the room. The old gentleman sat close
to Loeb's call box. Suddenly there was
n short, sharp, snappy sound, and the
visitor jumped up affrighted.
That's only a call from the presi-
dent for Mr.. Loeb" explained Assist
ant Secretary Barnes.
But, goodness mer' exclaimed the
old man. Does the president always
shoot off a revolver when he wants Mr.

In addition to the huge mail, there
come to the White House huge stacks
of express packages. these being gifts
of every conceivable character, from
live guinea pigs to suspenders. "At
last feel can afford two pairs of sus-
penders," said the president to Loeb
when he first saw the suspenders. Yet

NOSE CHANGES.
They Are Gradual and Imperceptfble,
but Continuous,

but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape of your
baby's nose If 1t Is q snub nor be sure If
it pleases you by its regularity that it
will be the nose that will grow up with
it, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose increases so
much faster than its breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve long,
even hooked nose. This change in the
shape of noses is gradual and imper-
ceptible, generally more expeditions in
the male than in the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
as intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, often more
convex, so that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nose, SO that
one need never despair of possessing
satisfactory nose at some period of his
life If he only lives long enough. But.
like SO many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind of q nose may
arrive too late to affect ones fortunes
or happiness.

started for the theater, for the play
was one his wife especially wished to
see. At the door Of the playhouse
secret service man whispered in his
ear. Loeb escorted his wife back to
the "annex" and then fastened to the
White House. A third time, on the
last night Of the play, he started for
the theater.~ A third time the president
intervened. Loeb never saw that
.'show."
That's what it means to be a pres
ident's Indispensable second self.
That's what it means for a secretary
to have the complete confidence of the
chief executive. That Loeb knows the
president and his characteristics better
than any other man in the White
House or in public life is certain, for
daily and hourly Loeb is in effect
Roosevelt
His Very "No" Made Friends.
"Stonewalr' Loeb he is called. He
stands between the president and the
busybodies, the Office seekers and the
cranks- He guards the president more
closely than do the secret service men.
He has all the tact essential for his
position. With him / went for a visit
to a friend at the Willard hotel. in
Washington AS we passed through
the corridors Loeb was buttonholed by
men who wanted his ear-that is. the
presidents ear. 1t was interesting
then to watch Loeb. One office seeker
after another he turned down. denying
each an appointment with the presi-
dent, but denying in such a way that
each supplicant felt that favor had
been rendered him. Loeb handled the
Office hungry crowd in a spirit so kind
ly that his very mo" made friends of
them.
"The way to have a friend is to be
n friend" he said. And he practices
this always, for whenever he saves the
presidents time, as he did In the hotel
corridor that night, he is being friend
to the president. Only one man In that
crowd had legitimate business with
Mr.. Roosevelt, and to that one the sec
retary said: "Come tomorrow at II.

to tell the president about Loeb at
tends to himself. The superintendent
of great New York publishing house
came to see the executive about a
hitch in the postal service that seri-
ously affected the publishing house.
Inside of two minutes Loeb saw that
a misunderstanding existed in the post
Office department. 'It won't be neceS-
sary to see the president" he said.
And forthwith he rang up one of the
assistant postmasters general. and in
ten telephone words the matter was
adjusted and the superintendent made
happy. Thus Loeb disposes of most of
the White House visitors without dis
turbing the executive.
The Presidents Taskmaster.
Loeb is the personification of the
business system of the White House.
He is the presidents taskmaster. All
mail passes through his hands. and he
permits only letters of the first i'm
portance TO reach The president. The
mail is stupendous. After Inauguration
day in 1905 fully 1900 letters day
reached LOeb's desk. The White House
mail at any time Is so enormous that
the president cannot read one letter in
ten and sometimes not one in hun
dred Loeb himself can read only
fraction OF the mail. Often there are
