HOW TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.

A great many people, like Mrs. Nor.
ris, have difficulty in obtaining an
audience with President Roosevelt. If
they are so fortunate as to get past
the White House door they are almost
instantly fired out again by some hired
man, and the president doesn't even
know that they called. Now, it Is easy
enough to get to the president if you
go about 1t the right way. There are
several right ways, but perhaps the best
is to rig out as cowboy, ride your
broncho into the White House hall, and
proceed to shoot up the place. If you
call In the evening, shoot out the lights.
When the hired man appears make him
dance few steps in the familiar
fashion, and then remark: "Now you
hustle into Bad Lands Teddy and tell
him Bobcat Bill wants to see him rea4
partickler." But the chances are that
the president will come running out as
soon as the shooting begins. He knows
better than anyone else the music of
the wh1rling, cylinder. Another and less
strenuous method Of gaining an audi
ence is to disguise yourself as a guide.
A leather coat and a coon-skin cap
will suffice for makeup, and the merest
hint to the hired man that you arc
Allygash Ike, or Penobscot Pete, will
produce immediate results, even if
cabinet meeting is in progress. Still
another method, and one which ladies
might employ, is to disguise ones self
as a stork. A warm welcome is as
sured, and one may enter by any door
or window. Personally we like best
the cowboy entrance, and we think that
the president too prefers it.-Puck

SIX YEAR-OLD WHISKY.

Assuming lIdC SlX.year-OlQ whisky is
an article that is blessing to mankind,
officers of the internal revenue bureau
of the treasury department are willing
to say that the destruction of the Over
holt bonded warehouse at Broadford,
Pa, amounted to a national calamity.
They have not yet received a report
from Collector Heiner at Pittsburg, but
they know in a general way that there
was a large quantity Of six-year-
stuff in the warehouse. They also
know that six-year-old whisky is very
scarce. There Is not enough of the
stuff in the country to provide every
ian who would like it a good sized
drink. That is why the fire that de-
stroyed the warehouse is regarded as
such serious thing. According to the
preliminary report Of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Yerkes, issued some time
ago, the consumption of whisky is in
creasing so fast that in a few years
it will be practically impossible to get
liquor more than two years old. The
bottling of the liquor instead of its
sale in gallon measures, it is believed,
partly accounts for the rapid increase
Another factor is the general practice
of having whisky in the home for use
in medicinal quantities.. Instead Of this
home with whisky in it being the ex-
ception, as it was few years ago, 1t
is the rule now, according to the be-
lief of revenue officers. Toddy drink
ing by women requires an immense
amount Of whisky. Taken in that way,
many doctors approve Of the use of it
by women with weak stomachs. The
fn16xy 1rin1SinO has e11t
serves of all distilleries. They make
great quantities Of stuff, but the de-
mand is SO great that by the time the
product is two years old, it must b..
taken out Of the warehouses and put
upon the market. Five-year- old whfs-
ky these days is the top-notch article.
There is no law requiring honesty in
the labelling of whisky, therefore it
is still possible to get great quantities
of liquor said to be eight and ten years
old

LINCOLN VS.. STANTON.

AS an illustration of the obstinacy
of Edwin McMasters Stanton, whom
President Lincoln appointed Secretary
of War in 1862, the following story is
told.

ton of chaplain in the American army
during Lincoln's Administration, and
the following correspondence ensued
between the president and Stanton:

KING EDWARD ADOPTS
SOME YANKEE METHODS
Has Completely Revolutionized
Business System Of His
Court Since Ascendancy.
Card Filing System Is Used.
American Typewriters Find
Their Way to Windsor.

King Edward is one of the largest
users In England of American business
conveniences and labor saving devices,
says London letter to the Chicago
Tribune. Quite recently he adopted the
American card index and letter filing
system in dealing with his vast daily
correspondence, besides having speak
ing tubes of American make installed
in Buckingham palace. American
typewriters, roll top desks and office
furniture are used extensively not only
at the royal residence in London, but
at Windsor castle and Sandringham
house, the Kings country seat in Nor
folk. The ypewriter-American make
has long been at home with King
Edward. During the days of Queen
Victoria machine correspondence was
little used, but when the King took
charge battery of machines was in
stalled, and they have done strenuous
duty ever since and have been increas-
ed largely Of late Even letters OF
what would seem a private character
are typed by one of the kings secre-
taries, and only the signature or a line
or two give them that personal char
acter which Identifies them as his own.
In order to save the time which would
be spent in copying the letters carbons
are made of each, for nothing leaves
the palace business office"-even the
most unimportant line-unless a record
is first made of it. All the, desks at
Buckingham palace are of the typical
roll top variety, and the King carries
in his pocket a small master key
which will open any of them. The
same key fits the desks at his othex
seats-Windsor etc. Another time saw
ing scheme introduced by the King in
to his work is the use of colored. paper
for certain kinds of business, and color
all kinds of work coming under special
heads. Considering all the Kings pet
time saving ideas-which work with
the utmost efficiency-it might truly
be said that he is one of the most
methodical and rapid workers in the
world today. Equipped with all the
lightning devices of the twentieth cent
ury,- he is enabled to dispatch volume

when one considers the business he
transacts each day, to say nothing Of
the various and often boring functions
which he must attend in person; each
one of which requires a special dress

AN EMPTY theatre BOX

One of those incidents that shine
like good deed in this naught,
world" and encourages the Pickering
hopes Of those who thing it isn't such
a bad place to live in after all, is re-
corded in the New $York Press. A
hright-eyed ~newsbo,s;r- with pii11lehed
cheeks and patched clothes, forced his
way to the private office Of the man.
ager of a big theatre, only to find the
entrance barred by their personal repre-
sentative. To him the lad said: Il
want to get tickets for Granny and my
self. She isn't feeling we'll, and sine,
mother died she's been lonely. So
want to surprise her. I've got the
money to buy the best seat in the house
for her, and guess seat in the gallery
will do for me- Here's So, but the man
in the box office says want the tickets
for speculator and he won't sell them
to me-" With that the youngster hello
up heap Of change. But the manager,
who never fails to hear everything 60
ing on, was instantly at hand. Look
sharply and briefly: You and Granny
shall have the best box in the house
all alone. Fix it up, George" The
VI Auo1 AOI lAe OOA was NdHueu 10 the
youngster, and he heurried away After
the curtain had gone up last night and
when the manager was sauntering
through the lobby, he asked if Jimmy"
had turned up. The box was empty,
and the manager laughingly said:
Guess we were easy" Just then, how
ever, rough envelope was handed nim
Taking out a scrap of brown paper, he
read: Cant use pass. Granny died
tonight Jimmy" Don't sell Jimmy's
box tonight" And so there was an
empty box at that theatre that night.

sTELzLE'S SERMON TO
Tributes of Great Men to Jesus
Christ Napoleon Said Christ
p Was more Than Man.
No Legislator Man in Au-
thority would Dare Put Him.
self in Opposition to Christ.

Nineteen centuries ago Plate looked
into the pale face of Galilean and
asked: art thou a king, then?'
Today there is not ruler in the CIV
ilized world but what would answer
for Christ: "Yea, he is a king"
If any ruler should deliberately at
tempt to dishopPr Christ's name, or
prohibit the homage which men uni
versally accord Him, there would be
instant rebellion in his domain. Neither
courts nor armies could suppress the
insurrection which would inevitably
follow such action.
No legislator, no ma 4 in authority
in any capacity would dare put himself
in open hostility to the rule of Christ.
To what must this marvellous power
be attributed? Napoleon has given us
a cue. Exiled at st. Helena he one day
turned to, General Bertrand and said ::
II know men, and I tell you that Jesus
is not a mere man. Between Him and
whoever else lin all the world there are
no possible terms of comparison. AL
exander. Caesar, Charlmeagne and my
self founded empires, but upon what
did we rest the success of our genius?
Upon force. Jesus Christ alone found
ed his empire upon love, and at this
hour millions Of men would die for
him."
1t is peculiar that Jesus appeals td
men of all nations. Moses was a He
brewf1 Socrates an Athenian Confuc-
ius, .Chinaman, Buddha, a Hindu,
Mohammed an Arab, Luther a Germa n,
not only in blood but in spirit.
But Jesus belongs as much to the
African as he does to the American.
He is loved by the Chinese as he is by
the Choctaw Indian. To the Welshman,
Christ seems to have been a Welshman.
TO the Arabian Christ seems to have
been an Arabian. No matter what a
mans nationality he feels at home with
Jesus.
Christ appeals to all conditions of
men, Rich and poor, learned and ig-
norant,. capitalist and laborer-all have
looked to Christ and found in Him that
which satisfies. To have such a. man
as a friend, means a great deal to any
one, For workingmen to have Him
with His unlimited power-as their
special representative, should inspire
them with hope and courage for the
causeoof such a leader is certain OF
victory. 3sz z5ss s.z =.

WANTS Of LABOR ARE
EXPRESSED IN CONGRESS
Declaration of Union Labor Men
Appear Before Judiciary.
Committee of the House.
Anti Injunction Bill Is Main
Topic of Discussion-Labor
Strong for It's Passage. T.

Washington, D. c., March s.-The
labor people of the country had an op-
portunity to tell the judiciary COM
mittee of the House what they want in
the way of legislation today. The day
was devoted to hearings on half dozen
bills that embrace the legislative de-
mands Of organized labor. Some of
these measures are Of vital concern to
the vested interests and large employ
ers of labor and they will be represent
ed before the committee also
Chief among the bills which labor is
pressing for adoption now is the one
introduced by Representative Gilbert
of Indiana, to regulate the granting of
restraining orders. 1t provides that in
the event of strikes, or other labor
troubles, no injunction or temporary re-
straining order shall be except upon
due notice to the opposite party by the
court in term. A measure of this char
acter has been hanging fire before con-
gress for a. number of years, but it has
never accumulated enough backing to
insure it's passage.
Another Bill.
Another bill.that is closely related to
the anti-inj junction bill is drawn for the
purpose of limiting the meaning of the
word conspiracy" Representative Lit
tlefeld of Maine, fathered bill of. this
character for some years but now it
has been taken up by Mr.. Little of Ar
kansas. In brief: the bill declares that
no act for the furtherance of any trade
disputes between employers and en-
mir yhoy, hxr fx1yo
sons, shall be deemed criminal or in
one person.
Organized labor seeks to secure fav-
orable action also on measure known
as the employers liability law. 1t is
intended to apply primarily to railroads
and makes them responsible for damag-
es in all cases of death or injury on the
IT, Of employees resulting from
negligence or mismanagement of any

CHICAGO TRADE UNION
BANK IS NOW ASSURED
Union Workingmen Perfect
Plans to Handle Their Own
Financial Affairs.
New Labor Bank Will Begin
Business Next Month Under
Favorable Auspices.

Chicago, March, 8.-The Common
wealth Trust and Savings Bank, or the
First Union Labor bank, will open it's
doors for the transaction of business
about April Is, with temporary Offices
at 80 Lasalle street The capital is
$4,000, 900, divided into shares of $5
each, par value, and is to be sold only
to trade unionists, salaried people,
farmers; small dealers and professional
people. The charter provides for elev-
en- directors who are to be trade union
lists, and being controlled by wage
earners the bank will not engage in
frenzied financial transactions, neither
is there to be watered stock, nor pro-
moter's stock so that dividends will be
drawn only on the stock issued to bona
fde purchasers. 1t is expected to draw
all or nearly all the business of trades
unions and their membership, because
it will be conducted by and cater to
that class of citizens. The plans have
been approved by bankers Of we'll
known institutions and there seems to
be no reason why it should not be q
success The idea of such an insti-
tuition was brought out by the rumored
financial support given by the bankers
to the Manufacturers association in the
teamsters' strike last summer, when a
vigorous protest was made against
using money belonging to trade unions
to defeat the union element. Two print
ers are on the board of directors, A. B.
Adair, foreman of the Daily News, is
chairman of the board, and John c.

THE SACREDNESS
Of PUBLIC PROPERTY
Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow Tells
of Indiffe ference of Man To.
wards Public Rights.
Our Most Artistic Thieves Are
Those Who Steal Franchis-
es From the People.

In his Mark Fagin article, Mr.. Lin
coin stterfens sent his lance to the core
Of our social sore. He said: "All men
know that private property is sacred.
For centuries that sense has been borne
in upon us till even thieves know it
is wrong to steal private property from
timber lands to city streets, that is pri-
vate graft.
Those councilmen who were prose-
cuted by Governor Folk-what had they
done? They had stolen. But what had
they stolen? They had not stolen pri-
vate property. They had assisted GER
tain individuals to steal public prop
erty
Found i'm the Streets.
A promoter went to ST.. Louis and in
duced the council to give him a street
railway franchise. The inducement
consisted OF bribe Of $250.0o0 distrib-
uted among the members of the coun-
Gil. He did not lay a rail. He did not
string a wire., He did not operate
car. H went straightway to WALL street
and sold the franchise for $1,250,000.
Now what did Wall street buy? 1t
bought certain legal privileges in the
streets of st. Louis. These privileges
were worth a million and a quarter
probably much more. They belonged to
the city of st. Louis. They were pub
lie property. The promoter and the
councilmen found this public property
in the, streets of the city, took it, and
sold it, and put the money in their
own pockets.
Our Most Artistic Thieves.
If a bank robbery had been COM
mitted in the city and a, million and
quarter of the banks funds taken, so
that the bank had been ruined, and
many people had lost their savings
That would have been the talk of the
nation and those thieves would have
been hunted down and sent to the nene-
tentiary if possible. But when a. mil
lion and quarter is stolen from no
one in particular, but from everyone in
general, few take enough interest to
go to the city hail to see the thing
done, and those who get the plunder
usually remain as before the most re-
spected citizens: of sthe town.
Our richest citizens not, frequently
are our most successful ,beggars if not
our most ARTISTIC thieyes.Ss2
