Mr. Lyon-We would ike for the

President Harrison S Secretary.

New York Sun.
Hardly less capable as a diplomatic
handler Of difficult White House vlsl-
tors was Elizah-'Lije'' e''-Halford,
Harrison s secretary.
He was swooped upon in his office
one day by a middle aged man Of nat
urally violent temper who had recent
lv been dismissed from one Of the
government departments for. what
used to be called pernicious activity
in politics. The man had got by the
doorkeepers by exercising the crafty
GOODNESS which in the old days enabled
many Of the most impossible visitors
to make their way almost to the door
Of the president s office.
As he stormed into Mr.. Halford's
office the typhoon of wrath that was
raging within. him over what he re-
garded as his unjust dismissal broke
forth.
"You re Halford, amt you-the
fellow Lie that We read so much
abouta' he opened UP upon the ex-
ceedingly mild hammered secretary,
who beanaed upon him from his desk
chair with great cordiality.
Me-me-that lightweight:e'' was
the secretary's instant disclaimer.
"Me Halford? Where did you get
that idea? Ny names Spinks, and

that way again. I don't like it. -

itor. II came here to tell him what |
think of him. He's the scoundrel
who's been laying hold OF all the pa
pers in my case that ] We been sending
the president, 50 that the president
has never seen one Of them.'
THAT so?' said the secretary lnno-
Gently. ::Well, that's Halford, for
you. He's doing that all the time.
Lot of complaint about it. Thinks
he's the whole works. Makes spe-
cialty of holding things back from the
president that the president ought to

your troubles. You come back when

him have it good: I'd like to be by
when you give it to him. He and [
don't get along little bit. Meantime
tell me about your papers, and I'll
look them up. and write to You about
'em.''
The violent man quickly settled
down. and "Spinks'' made few
notes on his blotting pad, and the Wis
itor departed appeased. Mr.. Harrison
looked into his secretary's office a
couple of minutes later and there was
q smile on his face.

SOME cOGENT ARGUMENTS IN

and see how It works: Buy or him

"And, again, Mr.. Consumer, we
would ask: What guaranty have you

have you that errors and shortages
will be easily and speedily rectifed?
These are incidents of the mail pur-

into consideration.
Another deplorable phase OF the
