CorteIrou,s Secretary.

No Cabinet officers private secretary
seems TO hold as close and confidential
relations with his chief as does George
B. Cortelyou's-Henry o. Weaver. To
his chief Weaver is a veTitable hdus
Achates He has been with Mr.. Cortel-
you ever since the latter has been
member Of the Cabinet, first as Secre-
tary Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, then as Postmaster General and
now as Secretary Of the Treasury. When
Mr. Cortelyou resigned temporarily from
the Cabinet 70 manage the campaign for
the President, Mr.. Weaver resigned, too,
and went 10 Republican headquarters as
private secretary Of the committees
chairman. He accompanies his chief
everywhere. even going about this city
with him. Usually they lunch together,
and frequently al lunch the private sec
retary is seen 20 take out his note book
and scribble upon II as his chief talks
IN a low tone Il is believed that Mr.
Cortelyou took from President Mckinley
the hint OF the val'le OF having his pri-
vate secretary always in easy reach.
When MF. CortelyOu was secretary TO
Mr.. Mckinley. the President had a habit
Of talking 10 him al leisure moments on
subjects upon which the Chief Magis-
trate was preparing a speech or message,
and by this method the work Of prepara-
ton was mao less burdensome to both.
Secretary Cortelyou works all the time.

on Weaver. who is the frazier looking Of

Frank Rockefeller is the good fellow"
OF his opulent tribe 4 brother of the
mighty John D, he has not had much to
do with the head of the family or other
members Of It for several years. He has
been a fancy livestock breeder in Kansas
for decade or more. and prefers life out
there to the life led by his brothers. John
d. and William. He was associated with
them at Cleveland when the foundation of
the familys gigantic fortune was laid. and
parted company with them when his share
of the profits reached a few millions.
Some OF this he invested in his Kansas
stock farm, and the rest he put in what
he considered gilt-edged securities, which
appear to have turned out differently, for
in a lawsuit IN St. Louis the other day
he stated that he was busted The suit
was to recover $265, ,000 which Mr. Rookie
feller had invested in a zinc mine in
Southwest Missouri. Presumably. about
all that he now has left is MS stock farm
in Kansas. Westerners who know the
man speak in high praise Of him. They
say there is nothing of the mean money
grubber about him. He Is a good neighbor
and an all-around good fellow.

Hi. nrotl.er.s noop.

Secretary Taft's brother. Charles p.
Cincinnati editor and a former Congress
man from that city, makes a trip to
Washington every week or two now. His
.comings and his goings are unheraided,
as he does not stop at hotel here. He
goes from the railroad station direct 10
the Seeretary's residence, and with that
hospitable abode as a base Of operations
he circulates quietly among the great Of
the land here assembled. When Congress
was in session he rarely took advantage
Of bis privilege as an ex-member TO go
on the floor of the House. But he met
and talked with Republican Congressman
by the score. To few Of them did he even
broaeh the subject Of the next campaign.
lie permitted them to do the talking on
that subject, and he merely listened
Naturally. the majority OF them who dis
cussed the theme in his presence spoke in
praise of his brother Naturally OF
course. Mr. Taft put his own interpreta-
ton upon their utterances before report
ing them to the Secretary. AS he acted
with Congressman, so he Is acting with
sther public men. It is a new sort Of
Presidential booming, but 1t Is believed
10 be proving effective. over in New
York there is another Taft brother
Henry W.-who Is doing the same sort Of
work. In Connecticut there is still an
other quietly. modestly. persistently feel
ing the public pulse. This brother Is a
school teacher, and until recently was a
Democrat. Thus it Is shown that at least
three intelligent and loyal bomers are in
the field for the Secretary Of War, and
all the returns are not yet In.

Loyalty That Is Real.
From Success Magazine.


What is more sacred in this world than
our friendships? One OF the most touch
ing things l know of is the Office OF a real
friend to one who is not friend to him
self-one who has lost his sef-respeCt. his
self-control and fallen to the level OF the
brute! All! this Is friendship indeed.
which will stand by US when we will not
stand by ourselves! L know man who
thus stood by friend who had become
such u slave to drink and all sorts Of vice
that even his family had turned him out
of doors. When his father and mother
and wife and children had forsaken him
his friend remained loyal. He would fol-
low him nights In his debauches and many
time saved him from freezing to death
when he was so inebriated that he could
not stand Scores of times this friend
would leave his home and hunt in the
slums for him to keep him from the hands
of policeman and TO shield him from the
cold when every one else had forsaicn
him; and this great love and devotion
finally redeemed the fallen man and sent
him back to decency and to his home
Can any money measure the value Of such
devotion?

Imagination as q Cure.
FROM the Dundee Advertiser.


1t is conceded by scientists that imagna-
ton has much power a curative agent.
A concrete example occurred in tn" ex-
perlence of Sir Humphry Davy. A man suf-
fering from paralysis went to him to be
treated by electricity
When the patient had seated himself
Dayy as preliminary. placed a small
glass thermometer beneath his tongue to
take his temperature. The sick man thought
that this was the instrument for curing
him and declared that he felt it run through
all his system. Davy, curious to see what
lasting effect the imagination would exert.
did not undeceive the man, but sent him
away, telling him to return daily to have
the treatment repeated.
The man did as he was told and daily sat
in a chair with the end of little Their
mometer tucked beneath his tongue. In a
few days the paralysis was completely
cured by the patients own imagination.
