BOSTON, April 18.-Miss Eliza
beth S. Cotton of Easthampton,
Mass, now on her way back to this
country after years absence In
India, has achieved the honor OF
being known as the champion lin
guist of the world.
Miss Colton's father, the late
Rev. A. NJ Cotton, was pastor of
the First Congregational church at
EasthamptOn for more than rs
years. When a young woman Miss
Cotton went abroad to study vocal
music and later was teacher of this
branc hat the Pennington, Conn,
seminary for girls. During this
time she first became interested in
oriental languages through contact
with several pupils from the far
east. This interest soon became a
passion. and she has since devoted
most of her time to the acquisition
of the different tongues. She has
been for many years fluent user
of the romance languages, such as

Chauncey. He is so like his car
toons, you know. So Dolliver went
and got Chauncey. and Chauncey
came and sat behind the row OF
girls and handed them the OLD ones.
And they were all as pleased as If
they had seen the matinee favorite
come from the stage door.
But you should have seen Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew that day La Toilette
handed out his list of plutocrats.
When it came to classifying the
moneyei gents, La Toilette showed
first who were the ones who had
real money. That simmered down
to Rockefeller and Morgan. Then
he gave a list of some IA who are
possessed still of some small
change. This was the Vanderbilt
class. And finally he came to the
dummies and hired men; and here
he shouted out the name of Depew.
Well, you should have seen Chaun-
cey. He jumped as if a pin had
come up through his chair. Then
he turned red, white and blue. Tom
Carter and Aldrich gave him the
horse laugh, and Chauncey tried to
appreciate the joke. But he was
not really amused. The truth is he
about the thinnest skinned man in
congress. And the funniest part OF
it was that just as Simon Guggen-
helm of Colorado was most amused

him to his practice of the law in
Oakland, Cal.
Skids and rollers-that is the real
story behind all this David Jayne
Hill and Kaiser Wilhelm scandal.
Men like Rufus Choate and Charlie
magne Tower don't like to have the
skids and rollers put under them.
Did you ever see a man that has
held a job so long that he has
grown to 1t? Sort of got vested
right in 1t? Thinks the world will
come to an end if he is removed?
Well, that's how it gets with these
Choate and Tower boys. But T. r.
doesn't recognize the claim. He
thinks that enough is sufficiency,
as Mr.. Weber says. And he pulls
them away from the trough and
sends them down the toboggan.
And then you hear the squeals.
Choate kept his till he got home.
Tower was less game. and babied
to Emperor Bill. And then Bill said
it was shame yes it was, Charlie
magne cabled to Root that Bill said
it was a shame, yes 1t was, to have
him come just when things were all
so nice and they were getting so,
well acquainted with the emperor.
But as my friend T. R. says: They
think too much of the plush. The
skids and rollers for them"
If you ask me l think Cannon

think he has decided to serve the
interests faithfully and let it go at
that. So l look for no antitrust

no employers liability, no nothing.
The OH fox is just standing still.

INTIMATE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM WASHINGTON By RATH

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1S-
Deal Dad: Speaking of press muz-
zling, what's the matter with Mon
dell. and his little drive at Clifford
Pinchot? Did you notice that?
Pinchot is on the square. He is
making the fight of his life to save
the peoples trees for the people. So
of course he has got every CRATER
in the country on his back. Part
of Pinclot's work is education. He
has to let the people know. And he
has been doing this in every pos
sible way. For example, | happen
to know of one man who is paid
$4,000 year out of Pinchot's own
pocket-not to boom Pinchot, mind
you, but to let the people know
about forestry That is all he does.
But now along comes Monjell. con-
gressmatn from Wyoming, and tries
to get a law through congress to
Stop all publicity of the forestry
work. Provided, says his amend
ment, that no part of this appro-
priation shall be paid or used for
the purpose of paying for in whole
or in part the preparation of any
newspaper or magazine articles"
And this in the face of the fact
that the law that established the
department of agriculture of which
the forestry bureau is a part, de-
fines its duties as to acquire and
diffuse among the people
useful information connected with
igraculture."
One thing to be remembered
about Mondell is that he fathered
in the house the counter part of
Murray Cranes water power grab
bill, which Pinchot helped to ex-
pose.
