Early in the sixties foreign inventor
offered the secret of a new explosive that
he had discovered to the British govern
ment, relates writer in London Truth.
He asked for it an insignificant price,
something under 5000. After he had
been kept waiting three months, and
had made repeated applications for de-
cision, he was informed that his offer
was declined with thanks, as neither the
war office nor the board of trade saw
anything in his invention. The foreigner
was Swede, by name Alfred Nobsl. His
invention was dynamite. My frieI.l has
only too good cause to remember the
incident, for Nobel had offered Elm a
half share in the profits if he would
finance him 70 the extent of 500 kroner.
Unfortunately for him, my friend was
young, and still cherished illusions in
regard to the wisdom of governments
and their officials, and the consequence
was that when he learned the views Of
the British experts he also declined the
offer with thanks. But for his simple
faith he would to-day be a millionaire

At one time Horace Greeley lived N a
pleasant estate on the Hudson river. II
was approached by narrow lane from
the street, says writer in the Spring
field Republican, and was four miles out
from the city hall on the Harlem road.
The ground from the house on one side
slipped down to the river; op the other
was garden which bore fruit, accessi-
bic to boys. On Sunday their day Of
freedom as well as Mr.. Greeleys. the boys
sought the orchard.
Mr.. Greeley never saw or heard them.
But Mrs. Greeley always saw them, and
from her place on the piazza she would
call to Mr.. Greeley to put on his hat and
deal with them"
Mr.. Greeley would never have dis
turbed them, but he always complied
with his wife's wish-in his own time
and way. AS he slowly reached for his
lat, he shouted:

And who should be If you are

tone that pierced the detectives ears
like a thunderbolt. There were stimuli

auditors.
For several seconds after his wife
had delivered herself of this terrible
taunt Thornton Stackhouse seemed
yainly endeavoring to articulate.
Then with a sudden movement he
seized MS hat and turned to the door.
The voice which now came to him was
so unlike his natural tones that Lamm
would not have recognized it had the

There was an interval of silence, and

CHAPTER IY.-CoNr1n1lrn


The name burst from Marion's lips
like the accusation of an avenging an.
gel II is probable that stackhouse
staggered under the force of the blow.
Ar. Lamm, who, without an instant's
delay, turned his attention to putting
that CORRESPONDING name upon paper
CMarie Moyso' he wrote it), did not
see him again for brief space; and in
that time he may have slightly recov-
cred from the first violence of his be-
trayed emotions. He was still agitated
enough in all conscience. This man
Thornton Stackhouse, whom Lamm
well knew to be in his ordinary walk
OF life no more collaborating than the
polished surface of mirror, had been
so affected and overwhelmed by what
his wife had said to him that he was
weaker than q child. He tried to
shake off his growing terrors. He en-
deavored to smile, to laugh, to pass
over thu affair as joke, but the effort
was a CHASTITY failure.
''Marionl" he murnured. Marion!
Who has told you? What scoundrel
has maligned me to my own wife?"
Silence, sirl l am not your wife.
This was my fathers house. Either

Marion! Calm yourself, beseech
you! Think OF the effect, the occasion,
the time. Who knows what people
would say?"
Il do not care, sir. If you do, you
should have thought Of it before. 1t is
too late now"
He turned his white face towards
her. Lamm marked plainly in the am
pie light how his lips trembled, how
his eyes CLEANED.

tone, "are you enough mistress of

who calls on the head of a department
fails to realize how he trenches on the
latter's time. After transacting his
business he is liable to engage in a
general conversation with the cabinet
officer. The manner in which Mr..
Cortelyou gets rid of this class of call
ers Was clearly shown the other day. A
citizen from out west was introduced
by his congressman and after transact
ing the business they had come upon
this western gentleman began a gen
eral conversation.
The postmaster general moved IN
easily in his chair as The man went on
from one more or less interesting tonic
to another, but the visitor did not take
the hint. Pressing a button and Civ
ing certain number of rings, the full
import of which is understood in The
outer office, Mr.. Cortelyou secured re-
lief. George Pitts, the efficient mes
senger who has been with Mr.. Cortel-
you in various positions for years,
softly entered the room, looked around
and stepped out again. He went to the
y
Weaver, and gathered up big hurdle
of papers. With these he hurried into
the postmaster generals room and ad-
vanced to where the western citizen
was occupying the officials time.
These cases are from the president
and have just come in" Mr.. Postmas-
ter General" said the messenger, land
they are urgent"
Postmaster General Cortelyou rose
quickly and looked at his visitor with
an expression that plainly said: you
see how very busy am and you must
really excuse me, much as l am enjoy
ing your conversation"
After the congressman and his con-
stituent had left the room the bundle
of papers were taken back to Secretary

positions 1t has had to deal with
some big propositions, the largest
since its creation being the Louisiana
Purchase exposition St St. Louis last
year. Then it had charge of the na-
tional legislation needed in connection
with the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland, Oregon, this year. and
now il is beginning ID consider mat
ters connected with the next big expo
sition which is to be held in Virginia
in 1907 to celebrate the founding of the
town of jamestown.
Some statesmen are of the opinion
that the exposition business is being
carried too far The government is
asked to make loans Of money and ex-
hibits from various departments and is
put to a good deal of expense, although
it always gets back any funds that are
advanced. The opinion has prevailed
that the people are getting tired Of ex-
positions, but that Is disprOVen at st.
Louis last year and at Portland this
year. EX-COngressman Charles JOY, OF
st. Louis, had a good deal to do with
the big eXpositions in that city. and

healthy children and how the young
ones should be brought up to make
strong men and women, Mr.. Gilbert
said to a group of his colleagues the
other day: "Well-tO-do mothers,

checked. Those who are not mothers
have frequently commented on the fact
that the children whose parents have
to work hard to make both ends meet
are so rugged and healthy, while the
little ones of well-to-do parents are
puny and sickly. The cause Of this
condition is easy to explain.
THE mothers of large families dc
not have time to be always looking
after the little ones, who are thus free
to play in the back yards and roll
around in the dirt. Once a week is
about as often as they get a scrub. But
the little pet of the well-to-do woman
cannot play and roll around in the
dirt, and the bath is administered
about twice a day. Thus nature suf.

troversy with the coordinate branch Of
the government up on Capitol hill.
This does not mean that the president
is not insisting upon his ideas and
policies, for he is most emphatically,
but he i5 proving that he is a diplomat
as well as a constructive statesman.
The president has learned the lesson
that all presidents have learned in the
past that congress is Just as powerful
as the executive, and the purposes and
policies of the latter can be completely
thwarted If the president works at
cross purposes with congress. Mr.
Roosevelt has set out to accomplish
certain things, and he recognizes the
necessity of having congress with him
to accomplish these purposes. This is
true In railroad rate legislation, but
he worked up such a tremendous popu-
lar sentiment that he has brought con-
gres5 around to his way of thinking
by 5ne influence of that sentiment, and
now he and the majority in both
houses are working harmoniously to the
same end where two years ago there
was scarcely a corporaPs guard in
congress that would have stood for the
present administration policy.

Mr.. Sulzer is strong man in his dis
trict and has represented 1t for over
ten years. It is Republican normally
and, except I'm congressional elections,
gives a Republican majority, but Mr..
Sulzer carries It usually by big majori-
ties, running as high as IL 600 in some
years. In state elections and city-elec-
tons the Republicans carry It, but
when sulzer is up for reelection he
carries the people with him.
Mr.. Sulzer is now dean of the New

the house longer, continuously, than
any other Democrat north of Mason
and Dixon's line. There are only seven
other Democrats in the house who
have served longer than he has.
The New York statesman is indepen-
dent in his thought and action. and
when a Republican policy appeals to
him he does not hesitate to support it.
He is heart and soul with the pregf-
