the State of New Jersey wants to put

But, keep it ever in mind, when the
appointment comes it will be fair and

Lady ChurchilFs Devotion

Ut is generally believed, says a Lon
4 don correspondent, that Lady Ran
= dolph Churchill is far more devoted
to her clever son, Winston Churchill,
than to her still more youthful second
husband, CORVALLIS West. At all
events it is in furthering the former s
interests that she finds her chief occupa-
ton. She spends much time in the
British museum looking up historical
facts and data for her son, to enable
him to carry on his literary labors while
still attending closely to politics. She
is convinced that Winston has sufficient
ability and ambition to make him prime
minister some day and in that view she
is supported by the more dispassionate
Judgment Of John Morley. g Honest
John" is himself frequent visitor to
the British Museum library and on
more than one occasion has assisted
Lady Randolph Churchill when in diff Ell
culties with regard to the selection of
the right author for reference pur-

has made the pleasing discovery that
the political prominence which he has
achieved has greatly advanced the
value of his literary products. Only a
few weeks ago he was offered $3.50 fol-

the idea verbatim.
The table was square, with a
square lace thing in the center and

At the corners of the table stood
the hors d'oeuvre dishes, all of them
square and having square edibles on
them. There were little radishes cut
square, squares of cheese, ct cetera. The
soup could not be shaped, but they got
over that difficulty by putting it in
little bowls which fitted snugly into
little square paper boxes, which came
to table with their lids on. The custard
sippets which accompanied the con-
somme were perfect squares.
Then we had an entree Of fish
halibut outlets cut in squares and fried
with cream dressing. The potatoes that
went with this course were diced to
give the required shape. Then, indi

square, with sweet potato croquettes
