A New Luxury For the President.

The new Union Railroad Station at
Washington will be supplied with a
unique featurG-a special entrance
and reception room for the President
of the United States. The Presidents
entrance is an arChWay of marble
thirty feet in width, says Rene Bache,
in the course Of an interesting article
in Harpcr's Weekly. "On alghtinS
from his carriage beneath it, the fore
most citizen OF the nation will step
into vestibulc of noble proportions
of the same width as the archWay,
and twenty feet III depth. In this ves-
tibule the persons who accompany
him will be waited upon by trained
attendants, while the President him
self will seek privacy in a room set
right hand adjoining. The Presi-
dents Room, as it is called, will be
most beautifully and luXuriously fur
nished. Costly Oriental rugs will
cover the floor; the ceiling will be
done in gold and color, and the walls
will be paneled in blue silk. In the
middle will be a table suitable for
writing, provided with solid silver
inkstand and other appurtenances to
match-this and all the articles of
furniture being of mahogany. All
of this luxury will not cost the Chief
Executive a penny, but will be paid
for out of the pockets of the railroad
companies.

years ago when Abraham Bartlett

a priva,c interview with a little

climb on my knee, take off my hat

HEI,E>I'S NEST,

Helen was u dear little girl that
lived in the country. About her
house there were many line trees
where the birds came every year 10

TO watch the birds, butterflies ana
bees doing their work.
We'll. one day Mr. and Mrs. Oriole
came to look at the big elm tree.
They soon decided to build nest
there, and each few off in different
direction to find building material.

"All right, little girl" answered
her father
Helen had helped birds before by
putting bits OF string aud worsted
and straws on the ground ans near
by bushes.
Suddenly cho clappol her hands,
eyclaiming, ON, i'n GoinG to label

So she carefully wrote her name
on q tag Of paper, putting a long
niece OF white string through the end
of the Tag. On some other tags she
wrote the day and mcuth, May 2S."
Then they were left in plain sight,
and Helen scamper2l away.
Tho birds did not seem TO notice
the strings ut first, but later every

The Best They Could Get.

William jennings Bryan tells a
good story, at his own expense, of a
time when he was not as we'll known
as he is now.
A widely admired campaign speaker
in Nebraska, who had been billed to
make the principal address at polit-
ical gathering at Lincoln, was obliged,
at the last moment, on account of ILL
ness, to send word that he could not
keep the appointment. 1t CHANGED
that Mr.. Bryan was selected to fill
his place. Naturally, Mr.. Bryan felt
some nervousness, knowing that he
was to act as a substitute for an
older and much better known
speaker, and his apprehension was
not lessened when he heard himself
thus announced by the chairman:
"Feller citizens, this here's the sub
stitute for our gallant an admired
leader, unfortunately sick. I don't
know what this gent can do; but time
was short an we had to take what we
could git, success Magazine,

The Cardinals Wife.

Cardinal Gibbons, the venerable
head of the Catholic Church In
America, is one of the most demo-
cratic men in the country. He also
enjoys a good joke, even when told
at his own expense. He once related
how a Baltimore newspaper man who
may have been more jealous in jour-
nalism than learned in religion called
at the cardinals house one day to ask
his eminence for information con-
cerning some church matter.
"TEe cardinal is out of the city,"
said Father Fletcher, who received
the caller.
Then may l see Mrs. Gibbons?"

Watterson, in an address to a con-
vention Of journalists, "but quite the
most interesting and oldest of these
was an ad that ! chanced upon in
London. 1t was printed in the staid

something like this:

days the party reached Boise. Idaho,
where they constructed raft and

Revising Cuban Laws.

Provisional Governor Magoon, of Cuba, has, at
last signed the decree appointing a commission
to revise the laws of the island. The commission
will submit to him the draft Of an electoral law,
new provincial and municipal laws law defining
the organization and functions of the judiciary,
a civil service law, and, also laws on such other
subjects of great interest may be referred to it

headed by Col. E. H. Crowder, of the Judge ad-

meeting was held on Thursday of last week. This
action means that long steps are to be taken to-

Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-01-10

The opening of the New Year was notable be-
cause OF the number of important laws which
then became effective. One OF these con-
sisted of certain features of the insurance
law, which gives the death blow to the abuse
of deferred payments AS the law stands
now, all new business written must be on a basis
OF an annual opportunity for poicyholders to
get the benefit of any profits which may have
Ycrued, and to decide for themselves in what form
sAey will accept the benefit of these profits. The
anti-pass feature of the railroad rate law went
into effect, although efforts may be made by the
present congress to modify its provisions. The
Pure Food Law, designed to make labels tell the
truth, has put the grocers and druggists, particu
larly, IN a state of mind. There are some commod-
tiles OF which they do not know the constituent
parts, and they do not know just what labels to
adopt. Denatured alcohol went on the free list
and light and power, thanks to this reform, should
henceforth be considerably cheaper
