That Secretary Root Will resign the
Office Of Secretary Of State before Marcia

and while il is not yet positively con-
frmed by Mr.. Root, there is reason to
believe it is authentic.
In case Mr.. Root should retire from
the State Department, it is likely he
would be succeeded by Assistant Sec
rotary Robert Bacon whose tenure
would last until the close Of the ROose-
veIt Administration. Another report Is
that if Mr.. Taft settles on Postmaster
General Meyer for lna State Depart
meut, the President would name him 10
succeed Mr.. Root.
The report as 10 Mr. Roots retire

NE is elected TO the Senate by the New
York Legislature ia January, he will
want some opportunity for rest before
entering on his duties. more especially
as an arduous session Of Congress for

Among the devoted and consistent OPP

Col. William Peters Hepburn. Colonel
Hepburn was defeated for reelection in

SERPENT IN NEVADA LAKE.
Two Men Affirm That They Have Seen
the Reptile.

A report from Walker lake states
that a monster sea serpent has been
seen at northern end Of the lake. Dan
C~ornelison, a mining man Of good rep.
utat.:oE- fof veracity, brought the story
to Goldfield. C~ornelison says that
both he and a companion named John
McCorry sighted the reptile while fish,
ing from a boat half a mile from the
northern shore of the lake. The mon
ster was then making its way toward
the east shore of the lake. Cornell
son says that at first sight he took the
serpent for a man in a skiff, and when
it disappeared for a moment he
thought the boat had capsized, and
rowed toward the spot, when it sud-
denly reappeared, giving them a good
view of its proportions, which they
estimated to be about 30 feet in length
and 6 feet across the back. Another
resident of that vicinity, a man named
Peters, is said to have discovered the
serpent sometime ago reposing In
shallow water near the shore, and on
being aroused 1t disappeared in deeper
water. There is also said to be a le-
gend among the Piutes around Shurz
concerning the existence of a serpent
in Walker lake.-Sacramento Bee.

ills TO LAUGH.
You Cannot Now Be Popular Without
Knowing II.

When the terms for singing LESSONS
had been agreed upon the teacher
said:
For so cents a week extra l will
give you a lesson in laughing, too"
"Laughing?" exclimed the prospect
tive pupil. What shall l laugh at?"
Notwithstanding. But you must
laugh If you expect to be popular.
What is more, you must laugh out
loud. The days of ultra-refinement,
when merriment could be properly ex.
pressed only by a smirk and a smile,
are happily passed. People laugh
heartily nowadays, but at the same
time they should laugh unsteady.
That is, they ought to put a few sill.
very notes into their peals Of Joy, and
those who are wise enough to study
laughing do put them there. I'm
not SO we'll patronized as they should
be. AS yet the laughter of most peo-
pie is a series of ~cacophonious coughs.
Take your own case, for example,, l
heard you laugh a little while ago, it
sounded like"
Yes, l dare say it did," interrupted
the prospective pupil, "but I had a
good time, Just the same"
The teacher threw back her head
and emitted a merry Naturalization
of her own.
There" she said, you ought to
laugh like that. OF course all laughs
cannot sound alike. There is the 80.
prano laugh, the c%ontralto laugh and
the mezzo laugh, the laugh 'he-he,"
the laugh 'ha-ha,' and the laugh no.
ho.' The quality of a persons laugh
is largely determined by temperament,
but no matter what its natural tone,
it can be trained into a thing Of beau.
ty. Nowadays all students of singing
are advised to look for their laugh.
Many have accepted the suggestion,
and in six months from now any girl
who aspires to shine socially must
laugh in fluent trils. Now, for the
sum of only so cents"
The prospective pupil shook her
head sadly.
I'D like to-" she said, "but / can't
afford it. If it m to the worst
