Corrected In Rhyme.

Thackeray was much pestered by the
autograph hunter. says Holder in his
"Recollections." He disliked above all
things to write in an autograph album
and often refused those who asked him
to do SO sometimes rather brusquely.
On one occasion the owner of an al
bum. young lady, was fortunate.
Thackeray took her book to his room
in order to look it over. Written on a
page he found these lines:
Mount Blanc is the monarch of mountains
They crowned him long ago,
But who they got TO put it on
Nobody seems to know.
Albert Smith.
Under these lines Mr.. Thackeray
wrote:

BONAP ARTE TO ASK
BIC APPROPRIATION
Attorney General Plans En-
Iargement of Depart
ment of Justice.
BUSINESS Is INCREASING.
THE POLICY OF THE PRESENT AD-
MINIsTRATION is NOW TAXING
THE POWER OF THE DEPART
MENT.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Well-advised
officials of the department of justice
say they believe Attorney General
Bonaparte has in mind an enlargement
of the department, such as will make
it commensurate with the demands
upon it. 1t is said the attorney gener-
al will ask congress for a much larger
appropriation than usual The exact
sum is not known, but there is no
doubt substantial arguments can be
made to congress why the department
of Justice should be provided for on
more liberal scale. 1t is pointed
out that the demands on the depart
ment are constantly increasing and
yet the appropriations made for it
are extremely low.
Business Constantly Growing.
A high official of the department
talked about the conditions that de-
mand an enlargement of the depart
ment of justice. He said the activities
of the government against the trusts,
rebate-giving railroads and the like,
were constantly growing. Just now
the government is engaged in graph
ing with the most powerful monopoly
in the world. the Standard Oil COM
pany. This case is virtually a test
of the Sherman antitrust law. The
interstate commerce laws alone, by
reason of exerting greater degree of
government control over railroads are
developing much important litigation
and are certain to develop more.
This litigation in no small part is
certain to find its way to the Supreme
court and will require the most care
full attention of the department OF
Justice. even if much work is done by
special counsel
Department Must be Enlarged.
The determination of the govern
ment to break up the huge land
frauds of the West and to recover
property wrongfuliy obtained from
the government is another sphere of
activity that is requiring more and
more work on the part of the depart
ment of justice. 1t is necessary also
to consider meat inspection and pure
food legislation. the increasing inn
portance of insular affairs and the
important fact that the administration
is exerting every energy to secure
strict government control over all in
terstate corporations and stricter con-
troll over railroads.
All these things make the demands
heavier on the department of justice.
Attorney General Bonaparte is said to
realize this fully and to feel the de-
partment must expand to meet the ex-
pansion of government activities in
directions. Talk of Mr..
Bonapartes retirement from the cabi-
net has about died down. Mr.. Bona
parte has taken lease on his Wash |
ington residence for another season, |
and this is cited as pretty clear evil |
dence he is to remain

Don't Be Provincial

Almost all women. and the majority

There is nc surer label OF provinclals
than an unwillingness to be surprised or
