ninsular War" does not work out In
just the approved fashion. The Incl
dent took place in 1906, while the reg
iment was in camp.
The first time was on guard rounds
duty the adjutant unfortunately neg
lected to send me the parole and coun-
tersign until late hour. The general
noticed my hesitating challenge for
the pass word, of which was in total
ignorance. He rode up and repri-
manded me, demanding the counter
sign, and accusing me of not knowing
It.
At that moment, as the general
turned his head away to observe some
thing, the sergeant of the guard, hav-
ing just received the belated counter
sign, stepped forward, whispered 1t
in my ear and gave me the paper on
which the words were written.
When the general turned again to
me he once more publicly accused me
of not knowing the password.
l replied that | did know 1t.

give, the countersign,' l coolly an
swered.
The general was amazed.
Very we'll will see about this in
the morning" he said.
Guard being new duty to me, l
was pretty nervous. The general
turned round to ride off. l told him
my orders were to allow no one to
pass without the countersign. tit
ter was heard from the men.
Wont you let me pass?" said the
general.
l made no reply, but stood looking
respectfully at him. After a pause,
he gave the countersign and, receiv-
ing the parole, rode away.
The next morning | was sent for,
and the general complained of me be-
fore the officers. He asked that be
reprimanded. One officer broke out
into laugh.

one year in the service; / have been

heard of a boy ensign taking his own
general prisoner"

the attention of Mrs. Knapp, and /
was content to monopolize Luella's
conversation for the evening. At last
| was constrained to go. Mrs. Knapp
was still busted in conversation with
her visitor, and Luella followed me
once more into the hall.
Cant you tell me-won't you tell
me?" she said in low tone that was
the complement OF the silent speech
of the eyes.

WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM.
Accomplishment Few Women Seem ia
Have at Command.

1t is really surprising how few wo.
men know how to make a neat hem
although this was considered a neces
sary accomplishment in the days OF
our grandmothers. It is used to finish
the raw edges of goods and 1t is most
important that it be evenly and neatly
turned down; always turn It toward
you. To do this, turn down one-Quar.

ing stitches.
Take stiff piece OF cardboard and
mark on 1t the exact width of the
hem. Place the edge of the creased
cardboard at the creased edge of the
goods and mark the desired width
with a thread, using the short and
long basting stitch Fold the hem on
this line of thread and baste to the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting. In hemming do not use
knot. Hold the hem across the end
of the forefinger of the left hand,
Point the needle toward you, to the
right, and insert 1t under the edge of
the hem close to the right hand. Draw
the needle through, leaving an end
of the thread to be tucked under the
edge.
To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle of the
left thumb and take up one thread OF
the cloth and the same of the fold. To
have the thread slant in the right di.
rection, see that each time a stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle of the left thumb.
To have the hem appear well when
finished care must be taken to have
the distance between each stitch ex
actly the same-EXchange.

CABINET BUILDERS
ARE VERY ACTIVE
TAFT MAY HAVE ALL SELECTED
WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.
NEW GOSSIP ABOUT SLATE
Garfield and Wright May Retire-Ball-
niger, NageI, Herrick and Bur-
ton Are Mentioned for
Portfolios.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Cabinet build
ers at the national capital, and those
who have moved to Georgia as part
of the encourage of President-elect
Taft, are succeeding in placing on the
anxious bench public men in all Sec
lions of the country who have been
looked upon as aspirants for port
folios or whose qualifications have
been urged by admiring friends.
The announcement of the appoint
ment of Frank H. Hitchcock to be
postmaster general, followed by that
of Senator Philander G. Knox to be
secretary of state, and the generally
accepted report that George w. Wick
ersham of New York is the choice of
Mr.. Taft for attorney general, indicate
that the slate is being made up rapidly
and that an announcement of the en-
tire cabinet may be expected before
many weeks.
Some Practical Certainties.
From a discussion of the cabinet
slate among Mr.. Taft's close friends in
Washington, who would not be likely
to indulge in idle gossip concerning it,
there seems to be a reasonable GER
tainty that in addition to those named,
