THE retirement of Secretary of War
4 Taft leaves but two men in Roose-
velts cabinet who were there when
he succeeded to the presidency on the
death of President Mckinley. These
are Secretary of State Root and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson.
Mr.. Root was secretary Of war when
Mr.. Roosevelt became president in
September, 1901 He shortly after
ward retired from the cabinet, but
was persuaded to re-enter 1t upon the
death of Secretary Of State Hay.
There have been more changes and
shifts in President Roosevelt's cab
met than in that Of any of his prede-
cessors. He has had two secretaries
of state, Hay and Root He has had
three secretaries of the treasury,
Gage Shaw and Cortelyou.
With Luke E. Wright he has had
three secretaries of war, Root, Taft
and Wright. Ae has had three attor-
neys general, Knox, Moody and Bona
parte; five postmasters general,
Smith, Payne, Wynne, Cortelyou and
Meyer; five secretaries of the navy,
Long, Moody, Morton, Bonaparte and
Metcalf
He has had two secretaries of the in
terror, Hitchcock and Garfield. He has
had one secretary Of agriculture, Will
son, and three secretaries of commerce
and labor, Cortelyou, Metcalf and
Straus.
The retirement of Secretary Taft
has led to some speculation as to how
long Mr.. Wilson will continue at the
head of the department of agriculture.

Taft Boom Was Born in Barber Shop

in his eye as often as he had it in his
mouth. The shaving of the president
and the midday cultivation of the
boom of Taft started at p. m. and
lasted a half hour
Taft, when he. was in Washington,
often saw the president several times
in the morning. But Mr.. Roosevelt
had many things on his mind then and
no leisure. For an hour or longer aft
er 1880 his outer Office was filled with
men who had appointments.
At the one o'clock shaving time
came the first respite. The room in
which the president was shaved is
small, narrow one, between the presi-
dents office and that of Secretary
Loeb. 1t is used as an anteroom to
both offices. On the wall is long,
framed photograph of a squadron OF
battleships.
At this window is a low-set leather
upholstered chair. Against the wall
at one side a writing desk.
When the time for shaving arrived
the low, leather covered chair was
pulled out from the wall. A neat foot
rest of two steps was produced from
under the writing desk and set in front
of the chair.
Roosevelt took his place. Then
came Taft, who pulled up another
chair alongside.
When Taft was away Roosevelt Oft
en- received others in the shaving peri
cd. Sometimes the correspondents
talked with him there. Sometimes it
was Hon. Jimmy Garfield, he of the
classic brow.

playing on violin that seemed strung
with the living heart-strings of a
lover.
Now the eyes Of the recumbent
young girl opened wide and looked UP
as at a face bending over her, and
the sweet, pallid lips parted with an
unspoken word; then the soft-fringed
eyelids closed, the golden head sank
back deeper on the pillow and moved
no more, and as a sigh of poignant
anguish broke from the heart of the
man bending over the couch, the
last musician leaned forward and blew
out the twelfth taper and stole away,
and the music ceased, drifting cloud
obscured the moon, and the wide hall
was left to darkness and death and
grief unutterable.
She seemed another Saint Cecilia,
SO lovely in person and so musical in
spirit, and while still child the fore
most masters of Europe prophesied
for her a career as one of the world g
greatest musicians. Her powers ma
tured with her mind, and at II her
genius was, perhaps, without paral-
lei; then her health suddenly failed,
and it was found too late that her
great gifts were in vain.
Her ailment left no chance Of re-
covery, and her physicians gave he=
at the most but two years to live.
When at last they told her the truth,
she expressed the wish that she might
die while listening to the sweet sounds
of orchestral music. Her life had
been devoted to music; it was fitting
that her death should be. And she
would feel happier so to die.
The man who loved her, and whom
she was to have wed, promised that
her wish should be fulfilled, and it
was he who had bent over her as her
life went out with the twelfth taper.
In the center of the beautiful mar
BILE mausoleum-for such the mystic
rious building was-the body of this
gifted and lovely girl was laid to eter-
nal rest.

Makes New Record for Cabinet Changes

The chances are that he will continue
to serve through the term of Mr..
Roosevelt, and should Secretary Taft
succeed to the presidency, it is posi-
BILE that Secretary Wilson would con.
tinue in the cabinet. It will be 70
years next March since Wilson be-
came secretary of agriculture. He Is
70 years old, but man Of great actiy-
ity. However, it has been a matter
OF some surprise that he has continued
in office SO long, as it has been the
Roosevelt tendency to get younger
men into his cabinet.

The Boy and Life on Farm.

The Boy and Life on Farm.
The following very sensible article
Is from the New England Farmer, and
we commend it to every father on the
farm:
''If you are farmer and you want
your son to be a farmer after you,
teach him from his earliest boyhood
to respect his fathers calling. Instil
into his mind the fact that the great
meH of all ages were sons of farmers.
Teach him never to feel ashamed at
the senseless and threadbare jokes Of
would-be humorists over old Hayseed
and his numbering old market wagon
ard his quaintness Of speech when he
visits the city and stares around at the
tights, and does not make half so much
Of fool of himself as the average city
man when he comes to the country.
"Do not fill his life entirely with
work. Recreation is as necessary to
| happiness and to healthful develop
ment of the spiritual and physical
faculties as is pure air, and there is
untold wisdom in the old saying, All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy
Encourage him when he tries to do
even if he fails Failures which teach
us how to avoid future disasters are
successes. Make him feel that you
rest upon his faithfulness and truth
In what ever you instrust to him.
do not blame him when he is not
at fault, even if things do not turn
out as you have expected. Never dis
parage his efforts Continual dispar-
agement breaks his boys spirit, and
there is nothing more inspiring, moth
ing more refreshing in the world,
than the broad, courageous, undis-
mayed hopefulness of a manly boy.
'Take him into your confidence
early. Let him know what you are
going to plant in the ten-acre field,
and how you propose to make the up
land fields pay.
Don't snub him. The man who
snubs a boy is unworthy to be the
father Of a son. Let him have the
money he earns. You would have to
pay the hired man for taking care
Of the calves and the colts; why not
remunerate your boy
"Do not disgust him with farming
in the beginning by telling him that
he does not need anything but his
board and clothes now, because he will
have 1t ALI when you are gone. Five
dollars when the boy is ten years old
iy more to him than five thousand
will be when you are dead and gone
and he has the farm.
"Do not devote all the land to corn
and potatoes and things that pay
The garden and the orchard are i'm
partant factors in the life on the farm,
and the flower bed ought to receive
just as much attention as the onion
bed where you expect to raise the
strongly favored candidates for the
first premium at your county fair next
fall.
do not starve your family for the
sake of taking the best of everything to
market. A broad and generous soul
cannot develop in starved body. Live
in just as good house as you can
own, free from mortgage. Have a
pleasant, sunny living room with the
books and papers and music.
Encourage your boy to invite his
friends there, and yourself greet them
cordially when they come. The lack
of social privileges at home is one
fertile cause of the temptation exerted
by city life on the country young man.

UTILIZING a Broken Hoe,

Don't throw away the hoe with a.
broken handle even If there are only
two feet of the handle left. Instead
take it to the blacksmith shop and
have the hoe Strengthened out on a
line with the handle. It would not be
amiss also to have the hoe sharpened.
YOU will find this useful in many
ways around the chicken house or in
the garden for digging weeds or lift
ing plants for reporting.

Poets Accent Ralah,s imitation

India would seem pleasant land
for minor poets, since the rajah of
Rampur recently sent out invitations
to all the poets of India to a gathering
in his state. About 200 poets &C.
cepted the invitation, and some of the
poets recited their own compositions.
His highness was too unwell to be
present.

The Cubans like the American army
so well that they want our boys in
blue and khaki to stay indefinitely
That is out of the question, of course,
as American troops will be withdrawn
when American occupation Of the is
land ceases. But it is feather in the
American cap that the Cubans have
been won by kindness and fair
treatment.

Food Value of Milk.

The food value of milk is brought
out forcibly in recent pamphlet writ
ten by Prof J. B. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts, College of Agriculture,
and published by the State Board of
Agriculture.
prices furnishes more food for the
money than do more expensive kinds
of meat, such as beef. mutton, and
pork, and is much cheaper than such
special foods as eggs or oysters, or
most vegetables and fruits. Only
breakfast foods, ETC., are cheaper
sources of energy than milk. A glance
at Professor Lindsey's table Shows
that milk at six cents quart fur
nishes the same amount of protein as
round beef at sixteen cents or roast
pork at twelve cents. That is to say,
/ a dollars worth of either of these
foods contains an equal amount of pro.
tein. Even where milk is sold as high
as ten cents per quart, dollar will
buy as much protein when spent for
milk as if spent for lamb chops at
twenty-five cents per pound, sirloin
beef at thirty cents, or eggs at thirty
six cents per dozen.
Professor Lindsey thinks milk
should occupy larger place in daily
diet than is ordinarily given. In ex-
periments at the Maine State College
it was found that when the students
were allowed free use of milk the ex.
ira milk consumed replaced the other
animal food to nearly corresponding
extent, and the milk diet was not only
less costly than the meat, but was fully
as satisfactory. When skim-milk is
used the food value is obtained at
even less cost since the value as food
does not depend very much on the
cream, and at the price at which it
is valued in most country districts,
about one-half cent a quart, it is one
of the very cheapest foods, and can
be used to advantage in place of water
in cooking, adding greatly to the value
of the foods with which it is mixed.
Hardly any food returns so much Of
Its foodvalue because there is no loss
in cooking and no waste. 1t is pala-
table. easily, digested, and according
to Professor Lindsey is entitled to be
classed among the most economical
human foods.

HOARSENESS
HOW CAUSED AND WHEN
DANGEROUS.

Hoarseness, or roughness of voice,
arises from several causes. The most
common is when the mucous Is al
lowed to collect on the vocal cords.
This is dangerous, for unless the mu-
cous is removed it is most likely to
become Il hotbed of disease, and win
develop into some serious chronic
throat or lung complaint, A small
dose of Chamberlains Cough Remedy
will work wonders Not only does 1t
at once clear away the mucous, but
also assists nature to strengthen the
vocal cords and make the accumala-
ton less likely to occur The mere
fact that Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is free from all narcotics makes
it the best to use in all cases of
hoarseness Another common cause
of hoarseness is the swelling or loose
ness of the vocal words. This Is gem
orally caused by sudden exposure or
by protracted public speaking. This
phase is often called "clergyman's
hoarseness.' The soothing properties
Of ChamberIains Cough Remedy act
most benefclaIly in such cases, and by
soothing any inhamed cords, soon en-
ables them to resume a natural cOndi-
ton.
