CABINET CHANCE PROBABLE
Washington Rumor Says Pinchot
May Succeed Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson.

WashinAton.-Gifford Pinchot, at
present chief of forestry service, is
slated for the position at the head
of the department of agriculture to
succeed Secretary Wilson, according
10 reports.
President Roosevelt is said to be-
lieve that the conditions disclosed in
the packing business at Chicago re-
feet seriously on the department OF
agriculture, which has also been un-
der fire because of the cotton leak
scandal. 1t is said he is convinced
that a change in the head of the de-
partment is imperative. Mr.. Pinchot
stands high in the presidents favor,
and the fact that he has been taking
an active part in shaping the new
meat inspection law is pointed TO as
evidence that he is getting in touch
with the agriculture department af.
fairs with a view TO assuming full
charge al an early date.

GREAT FEAT or RUNNER.
Covered Six Hundred Miles in Five
Days Over the Roughest Kind
Of Country.

The Tarahumares, a great tribe Of
the northern Sierra Madre, are the
greatest unners on eayth, not in re-
gard to speed but in endurance. They
have been known to average 10 miles
PER day: there is an absolute record
that is indisputable of a Tarahumare
e with an important government
document that necessitated an imme-
date answer covering the distance
there and back, 600-mile jaunt, in five
days, or an average of 120 miles o v
cred In each "a hours, not counting
the time lost while the answer was
being prepared, and 1t must be re-
membered that this feat was not per-
formed upon a fair road or on an UNI
dniating plain. II was over the wild
est country that the Sierra Madre af-
forcs: up and down paths that the
very deer would hardly esteem a trial;
the only level ground encountered was
the crossing Of a deep river. Also, the
journey was done on "pinole,' a
species Of popcorn ground down and
mixed with water, and the runner car
ried his camp equipment, a native
woven white wool blanket.

FEE WORTH WAITING FOR.
Thousands Instead of Hundreds Paid
David B. Henderson by His
Grateful Clients.

David B. Henderson's early profess
sional experiences were not material
ly different from those of most young
lawyers. Finally he was retained in
an. estate case which involved large
interests. The future speaker was
mighty hard up, and he was seriously
thinking of asking the heirs to pay
his bill, which he had never rendered.
He was m%editating whether to charge
them 5000 or $500, when one of the
heirs, representing them all, stepped
briskly into his office and, taking out
a roll of $500 bills, said; "Mr. Hem
derson, | want to pay your BILL" and
commenced laying down these $500
bills until he had $500 before the
astonished young lawyer. Looking up
at Mr.. Henderson, the heir said: as
that enough?" And the lawyer, with
that self-possession which subsequent
ly made him famous, calmly said:
peel off another I'M and we viii call
it square. '-Harper's Weekly.

LIKE a BUTTERFLY NET.
Queer contrivanee Used hy the Fill
Pine When rs ssts Out 70 Cap
ture a Ness Of E.sh.

An odd sort q Ssh catching con-
~trivance used IN The Philippine islands
may be seen at the New York aqua
rum. II is an open work. dome shaped
thing about two feet In height and two
feet across in its widest part, at the
bottom, made Of thin strips OF a native
wood. The upper ends Of these strips
are brought closely together around a
circle OF wood at the top. while from
there they spread out uniformly wider
and wider apart like the wires In the
top part of a round top bird cage Up
under these strips, about six inches
below the top, is set a wooden hoop,
TO which each OF the Stats is bound,
and over this hoop the Stats are strung
with a slight curve, to be held in shape
and at Uniform distances apart by a tie
run around a couple of inches above
their bottom ends. So that this is an
open dome shaped contrivance made of
slender curving vertical ribs; and In
its construction 1t shows nice work
manship. The island fisherman uses
this fish catcher in catching fish much
as a boy uses his hat in catching but
te%rfies; he claps 1t down over such
comparatively sluggish and bottom
feeding fish as he can get near enough
to for that purpose, and through an
opening in the top of the catcher be
reaches down inside of it to seize the
fishes thus caught.
