The Best Woman In the World

1.-THE letter. said Mrs. Shaw in de-
question, as the postmaster knew the
writing"
Mrs. Shaw herself is not without
well developed sense of humor, as the
following retort shows:
A friend propounded the query:
"What could be more dreadful than
for a woman after mending her hus-
bands coat to find in one Of the peck
cts a love letter from another woman?'
fortunately" said Mrs. Shaw, that
could never happen. The woman would
find the letter first and then she would
not mend the coat
When Secretary Shaw reached Deni-
son late one night he found the driver
Of the only carriage asleep inside.
Rather than awake the man, whom he
knew we'll, the cabinet officer climbed
on the seat and drove himself. When
he reached his destination he aroused
the astonished jehu and gave him his
fare with an extra tip.
Leslie Mortier Shaw was born in
Vermont sixty years ago. He worked
his way through a college at Mount
Vernon, Ia, by saving wood and sell
ing fruit trees. He took a course in
the Iowa College of Law and began
practice at Denison. In 1877 he mar
ried Miss Alice CraWshaw of Clinton
county. In time he prospered to such
an extent that he organized a bank
and afterward added a branch. He
was prominent in the Methodist
church, delegate to it's general con-
ference and for years superintendent
of it's local Sunday school.
Mr.. Shaw became politically promi-
nent in 1896 by answering a speech
made by Hon. William J. Bryan. He
afterward campaigned all over Iowa
and was SO effective that the next year
he was elected governor. Two years
later he was reelected by an increased
| majority and was forced to decline a
third term. In 1902 he was made sec
rotary of the treasury, which he re-
signed about year ago to become
president of the Carnegie Trust COM
pany of New York.
Shaw's associates in the Carnegie
Trust recently announced his resigna-
ton and said he made the move to
give him time to nurse his presidential
boom. The eX-secretarys business
shreWdness was shown by the fact
that he cleaned up $4,000 in the deal.
Gutter of Red Tape.
In the treasury department he was
noted for his long hours, hard work,
common sense, humor and the cutting
Of red tape.
He takes little recreation, but is
| skillful horseman, as a number of
Washington officials found to their dis
comfture. The washington men. like
those of Wall street. took the secretary
for a farmer and therefore determined
to show him some tricks in riding. It
was case Of the bitter bitten, for the
Iowa man led his would be instructors
such a merry chase over steep bride
paths and other steep places where
there were no paths at all that they
never repeated the experiment
From several of his public utterances
Mr.. Shaw has made it plain that The is
not in entire accord with sall the Roose-
welt policies and therefore is usually re
garded as an administration can
didate. One phase Of his political phi
losophy is summed up in this sentence,
delivered to a Methodist conference:
II am an organization politician. A.
machine politician IS not as great a
nuisance as a fool reformer.'

the public might conclude that the new
head Of the finance portfolio needed
watching to keep him from making
away with the treasury surplus.
If Speaker Cannon has been called
the David Harum Of politics. Shaw
was dubbed the David Harum of the
cabinet" This designation was sug-
gested by their quaint sayings and
their stock of good stories rather than
by their ability as political horse trad
ers.
There are getting to be so many
David Harums of this, that and the
other that they should organize them
selves into political party They
might not elect a president, but they
would at least make it exceedingly in
teresting for the other parties.
This is something like the suggestion
that a Johnson party be organized.

Samples of His Stories.
All the stories told by Mr.. Shaw are
not new, but he at least is not such
an antiquarian research humorist as
Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Senator Depew, by the way, is the
man who convulsed a London audience
by reciting poem written by Shaw:
"Go ask papa" the maiden said.
He knew that her papa was dead.
He also knew the life he'd led
And understood her when she said.
go ask papa"

you to ask you where am going TO
put that $4,000 building you tell
him you have seen me- and then you
tell him that you don't know. The
inanciers saw the point and dejectedly
wendell their way back to the Stock
Exchange
Secretary Shaw was seen one day
backed up against an iron stanchion in
front of the Arlington.
The late Senator Platt of Connecticut
happened by and hailed him.
Hello, Shaw" said he. what are
you trying to do with that iron post?"
Grating in a backbone was the
quick reply. "This treasury business
is good deal tougher than Iowa poll
tics.'
When the treasury portfolio was Of
fered to Shaw his friends were in a
quandary whether or not he would ac-
cept. He resolved their doubts by a
story
Two boys, Bill and Bob, were at the
dinner table. Some time before the
end of the meal the pie was passed.
Bill declined to take any, saying he
was not ready for dessert. Bob helped
himself to the largest piece and, turn
ing to the other, remarked, "Bill, allus
take pie when pie is passin'."
Paid a Clerks Debt.
Mr. Shaw found that one of the
treasury clerks was in arrears to the
doctor Calling the man before him, he
asked kindly as to the reason for the
debt
"Pairs,' answered the clerk.
pairs of what?'
''Twins. l kept my head above wa
ter when the first pair came, but when
the third pair arrived a few weeks ago
just naturally ran behind"
Secretary Shaw looked his astonish-
ment, but asked how much the last set
cost. When the clerk had told him,
Shaw reached in his pocket and said
he would pay for that pair himself.
Like Russell Sage, Mr.. Shaw never
takes vacation. He tried it once and
went to the Yellowstone. II didn't
like it," he said. Il got to feeling

kindness Of Mrs. Shaw.
"Kind?" repeated her husband. Mrs

Washington Scenery.

The state of Washington is richer
by far in natural beauty than either
California or Vancouver island and
nJuch of the scenery IN the Cascade
range and the Olympic mountains VIII
vie in beauty with any to be found in
the world.
Only one thing is lacking AMI that
is easy means of transportation in
the shape of improved road
Stevens county, in the opinion of
those who have visited here, is among
the most scenic and picturesque sec
lions of the great state. In this coun-
ty are to be found the most beautiful
of all that is beautiful in nature in
the way of lakes, mountains, pretty
little valleys, timber, mines, water
falls and caves that equal the famous
Mammoth cave of Kentucky
In Eastern Stevens county from he
boundary line between the United
States and Canada to the extreme
southern boundary line of the county
is one continual panorama of the
grandest scenery anyone would wish
to view. This is found in the Metal
inc country on the Pend d'Oreille
river and in the Newport country. 1t
is here that are found the great caves,
magnificent water falls and timber
that ranks we'll with any country.
On the west side of the Calisreil
range along the line of the S. F. e y.
railway is to be found the most beau
tiful valley in the Pacific northwest.
These are the sentiments of all who
visit the valley.
People who have never been over
this great. county of Stevens, of
course, can not appreciate it's advan-
tages, while to those who have, it is
a source of pride to know that they
reside in the second Yellowstone
park of the United States.-Chewe-

Beat Judge Palmer's tree.

J. Elfers, living on Spokane street,
has a two-year-old apricot tree, which
in the number of apricots has Judge
Palmer's tree skinned a city mile. ;"
Mr.. Elfers' tree has had about one
third of the apricots pulled off, but
still has over eight hundred on it.,
and will have to be braced up to keep
the limbs from breaking. The re-
porter counted over hundred on one
limb, but could not spare the time to
count all on the tree. end, incident
ally, Mrs. Elfers has a rosebush one
year Old that has eighty-six buds on
it.
Dr. J. H. Blake, answering the
challenge of the Daily World to pro-
duce an apricot tree to beat that of
Judge Palmer, states that he has a
tree, one year old, with 125 cots on
it. Besides this number 70 have
been pulled off so that the tree would
not be broken down.
The tree is on his Millerdale prop
erty and he states that he has a num-
Der of others nearly as good.

Dance in EAGLE Hall.

Eagle Hall was the scene Wednes-
day evening of one of the most en-
joyable subscription dances given
this season. The party was under
the auspices of several representa-
tive young men of Wenatchee. and
was an unqualified success.
The evening was a delightful one
for such an occasion, and there
were about twenty-five couples in at
tendance. Orchards orchestra fur
nished the music for the party and
all were well pleased. During inter-
mission a dainty lunch was served
in the banquet hall by Caterer Jean
Goumany of the Tammany Club.
That the party was such a success
was due to the untiring efforts of
Messrs. Wieland and Dave Gellatly,
who were the committee in charge of
the arrangements.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Wenatchee Growing Rapidly.

Wenatchee is congratulated on the
evidence of growth shown by the To-
cal census which has just been taken
by the county assessor. A gain from
$50 in 1900 to 3,075 at the present
time is something that can be point
ed to with justifiable pride. 1t gives
promise of future increase in popu-
lation that will make Wenatchee a
city of considerable Importance
The growth since 1900 is not sur
prising. Wenatchee has been fortu-
nate not only in it's location in the
midst of most fruitful country, but
in the spirit which has animated its
citizens and led them to activity in
Selling every opportunity to enhance
the material and social assets of the
town. Progress, has been a watch
word of the people, and it has
brought results that are exceedingly
gratifying.
1t is pleasing to notice that the
growth of Chelan county is in keep
ing with that of it's county seat.
Leavenworth, Cashmere and other
towns have increased in population,
while the rapid setting up of the ru-
raj sections shows how attractive the
county is to newcomers seeking
homes in the Inland Empire

The refusal of the supreme court
to pass upon the constitutionality of
the direct primary law under the So
called test case was expected if not
anticipated. While it does leave little
opportunity to test the law and rem
edy it, if found defective, before the
September primaries, the general be-
lief is that the law will see a COM
plete application next November and
that any test will come at later
date. The great mass of voters surely
will want the law put to use, nor does
one, save the bosses and political
tricksters, express a belief that the
law will prove anything but eminent
ly just Its defects, if any, are main
ly such as deal with expediency and
in no sense work an injustice upon
candidate or voter.-Olympian.
