MRS. ROOT SANITARY EXPERT.
Wife of Secretary of State Has Very
Pronounced Views.

Mrs. Root, wife of the secretary
of state, who will be the next chate-
laine Of the Morton house, is known
as the most ardent germicide in the
higher social set of Washington.
Mrs. Root has made study of germs,
and it is her knowledge on these
points which has made her such a diff
ficult person to please when 1t comes
to choosing a residence. She has
likewise reputation of moving more
than any other official hostess.
Her home must be absolutely and
thoroughly sanitary, and before TAX
ing possession of any house, or room
in a hotel for that matter, she makes
test of pipes, etc. Like all believers
in hygienic principles, Mrs. Root re-
lies on air and sunshine, and the Sc
lection Of the Morton home was be-
cause the entire house sits on high
terrace at the juncture of four streets.
Mrs. Root, under the guidance of the
surgeon general of the army, has stud
led the standard works relating to
the destruction Of germs, bugs and
bacteria, and she therefore puts her
hobby into force under scientific direc-

Senator'S Who Rise Early.

People who have an idea that sena-
tors do not work like common people
should observe some of them going to
the capitol early in the morning. A
few days ago Senator McCumber, of
North Dakota, went into the building
and to the rooms of the committee on
pensions, of which he is chairman, be-
fore $3.50 o'clock. Very few depart
mental employees were at their desks
at the time he began looking over his
correspondence.
Senator Knute Nelson, of Mime.
sofa, is probably one of the earliest
risers, as he is one of the earliest men
in the senate to get down to work. 1t
is not unusual for him to be at his
committee room before eight o'clock,
and sometimes he reaches the capitol
before the elevators begin running.
Some of the members of the supreme
court of the United States are early
workers. More than one of them finds
that his thinking machine when deal
ing with knotty problems Of the law
works more readily in the early dawn
and rises in order to get in the best
work at that hour.

House for New Cabinet Member.

Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar S. Straus, two OF
the new cabinet hosts, have taken a
house for this season just to get used
to things by the time they are called
upon for official duties. They will, of
course, have no part in the executive
family this season, other than making
friends, but they are indeed wise to
get forecast of things, thus saving
much embarrassment and worry. Their
house is large and splendid If some

Henderson Castle, somewhat remote

for Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Henderson,
Jr. The son of the Henderson house
got political bee in his bonnet after
living for time upon his beautiful
estate in Virginia and a discussion of
his name-it hardly amounted to more
induced him to remain in the old
Dominion for some years yet.

Reeds UnruIy Tenant.

There used to live in Portland Joseph
Reed, an uncle of the late Speaker
Reed. He was very large man, and
was never known to lose his temper
He had an office on Exchange street,
up one flight of stairs.
One day he sent one of his tenants,
who was behind in his rent, a five
days notice to move, which made his
tenant very mad. He called on Mr..
Reed boiling over with rage, using
some very profane language.
Mr.. Reed was sitting and writing at
a desk. He replied in his quiet, easy
voice: "Mr. Stevens, you are mad,
aud you must not come UP here when
you are mad"
Mr.. Stevens kept right on, only
worse if anything, when Mr.. Reed
started to get up, saying in the same
easy tone of voice: mfr. Stevens, you
must go right down stairs, or I will
have to cuff you"
Mr.. Stevens went quietly down
stairs.

"cuide" Branches Out.

J. H. Williams, an old and we'll
known city guide, whose headquarters
are around the White. House, some
time ago came to the conclusion that
the word guide was too common and
vulgar, and now he wears a badge
bearing the inscription, "City Delinea-
tor, No. l." All the other guides are
green with envy, while Mr.. Williams
is having his hands full of business.
81 have been asked time and again
whether delineator is good word as
applying to my business said De-
lineator Williams, land / have an
swered that it is better than any other
word that can be used. The diction.
airy gives the word delineator as mean
ing to describe so as to present a pic
tuTe to the mind; to set forth in lively
manner That is what we try to do.
Besides, there are SO many men who
wear badges bearing the word guide
that it has gotten to be common, and
I don't like it."
White House and other guides of
Washington are not required to wear
official badges, and are really under no
restrictions as to their manner of do
ing business.

How Bob Cousins Came to Be Dubbed

"a each coy corner of the cloak
room, members of congress gather to
relate new lot of stories; for what
ever distinction a congressman may
win III legislative circles, IL he is a
good Etory teller, he will certainly add
lustre to his glory-in the cloak room
at least.
It is said that Congressman Bob
Cousins, claims he has attained the
dignity of a knight of the Garter. It
happened this way. He was invited
to Shanney's, a fashionable place in
New York, and as he stepped out on
the pavement, all ready for the fray,
the glare of Broadway reflected the
radiance Of his evening broadcloth,
his spotless linen and evening neck
tie. When he reached his destination,
there was wide stretch of red car

was discovered that behind his patent
leather there trailed long "some-
thing white!" The Mortified con-
gresham turned to look upon his re-
calcitrant garter, while the fashion
able guests hid their faces in their
napkins. With all the solemnity be-
fitting so dreadful an occurrence, the
congressman remarked:
'Well, I'll be darned! I never knew
my carriers were so long"
He bowed in silent majesty to the
smiling guests, and since then has
been dubbed the Knight of the Gar
ter"
When 1 heard the story told, I
laughed, of course; but one old crusty
congressman who hailed from Mis-
souri,, said, That's nothing! How
would you feel if you ventured to be
gallant and tell a lady that she was
trailing three yards Of tape up Broad

pened to step upon it, and she turned
around and crushed you for your i'm.
