WASHINGTON, April 24.-So wide

Department chiefs have been sought

which Col. Hughes states his case has
given him a formidable bulge.
According to appointment Col. A
I'M Hughes talked over his case this
afternoon with Postmaster General
Mover and First Assistant Hitchcock,
m, Hughes recounted the positions OF
trust he had held under Republican ad'
ministration and pointed to the fact
that never before had any complaint
heen made of his fidelity to duty OF
his efficiency. Now he was charged
with neglect of office because of alb
sence from his office. He was never
absent he said, without leave from
the department.
Mr. Hitchcock said it was report
ted to them that he was at times az
usn+ without leave, but admitted thai
there was no official record of 1t. Mr.
Hughes then asked how it was knowI
that he was absent without leave L
there was no official record OF It. H'
gave them to understand that he stoot

1t is very true that almost any hus-

Table Talk

You will find that a great deal Of
character is impaired and received at
the table. Parents too often forget
this: and therefore instead of swoller-
ing your food in sullen sileuce: Instead
of severely talking about others, let
the conversation at the table be gent
al, kind, social and cheering. Don't
bring disagreeable things to the table
III your conversation any more than
you would in your dishes. For this
reason, too, the more good company
you have at your table, the better for
your children. Every conversation
with company at the table is an educa-
tion to the family. Hence the inte.li-
gence and the refinement and approp-
rate behavior of a family which is
given to hospitality Never feel that
intelligent visitors can be anything but
a blessing to you and yours. How
few have gotten hold Of the fact that
company and conversation at the table
are no small part Of edication.

Saturday Night Reveries.

Saturday night scenes to have
the happy faculty OF making
people human; set their hearts to
beating softly as they used to do be-
fore the world turned them into war
drums and Jared them to pieces with
tattOos. On Saturday night the ledg-
err closes with a clash, tie iron-doOred
vaults comes to with a bang, click 60
eS the key in the lock 1t is Saturday
night and the business man breatheS
free again. Hemeward no! The door
that has been ajar all the week gently
closes behind him, the world is all shut
out. Shut out? Shut in. rather. At
home are his treasures after all, and
not in the vault and not in the book
save the record inthe old fimily Bible
and not the bank. Maybe you are a
bachelor frosty and forty. Then,
/ poor fellow, Saturday night is nothing
to you just as you are nothing to any
body. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black
eyed, but above all, true-eyed. Get a
little home no matter how little
a sofa, just to hold two, or two and q
half, in it on a Saturday night, and
then read this paragraph by the light
in your wife'S eyes, and thank God and
take courage.
How many a kiss has been given,
how many curse, how mln y a careSS,
how many a look of hate, how many a
kind word, how many a promise has
been broken, how many a soul lost,
how many a loved n lowered into
the narrow chamber, how many a
babe has gone from earth to heaven,
how many a little crib or cradle stands
silent now which last Saturday uight
held the rarest of treasures of the
heart. A week is a life. A week is
a history. A week marks events of
sorrow and gladness which people new
er learn. Go home to your family
man OF buineSs! Go home, you heart
erring wanderer. Go home to the
chair that awaits you, wronged waif
on life's breakers! Go home to those
YOU love. man of toll and give a night
to the joys and comforts fast fly
ing by. Leave your books with COM
pick figures, your dirty shop. your bu-
sy store! Rest with those you love,
for God odly knows what next Satur-
day night will bring you! Draw close
around the family heath; Saturday nj
ght has awaited your coming in sad
ness, in tears and silence. Go home
to those you love, and as you baSk in
the loved presence and meet to return
the loved embrace of your heart S pets,
strive to be a better man, and bless
God for giving his weary children so
bear a stepping stone in the river of
the eternal, as Saturday night.

"Some women are always on the go"
is the e~xtravagant remark one often
hears and it is not always the express
ion OF envy. Strange to say, these
are those who think women do too
much travelling. Bless our souls, they
don't do half enough. The woman
whose world is in the n Of her
house, even though she befntellecually
above the average and surrounded by
evidences OF wealth and fine taste, is
necessarily more narrow minded and
bigOted than her sister, whose mental
vision has expanded under theinfineuGe
of new scenes and balmier skies, free
from mentalperplexities or drudgerieS.
She who has been ION the go" occa-
sionaly is the better mother, the more
intelligent helpmeet and the sweetest
companion.

Somehow or other to despise It.

From them as much as half a dollar.
Just having 1t about the place

And keeping it from taking wings
Is work most people find annoying.

In gold or in the metal paler.
You make the landlord scratch his head
And a a good joke on the TALES.
