perience for the presidential Office,
more so than almost any man who
has been elevated to that high posi-
ton for many years, not even except
ing Mckinley. BY his judicial train
ing, by his comprehensive grasp of
constructive craftsmanship - as he
has shown in the Philippines and
Cuba-and by his work in connection
with the Panama canal and the war
department, he has shown ability of
the highest order and has prepared
himself for any task the people may
impose. He has been tried during
the last ten years in most responsible
positions and has made good in all.
He not only is well grounded in the
principles of legislation and states
manship, but he knows the methods
of legislation and the trials, diff
culties and responsibilities of the
legislator.

Lived to Fight Another Day.

Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at MolwitZ, his first battle. Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat of the
carnage he got an idea that the army
under his command was being over
whelmed, so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild flight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discoy-
cred that the army he deserted had
won the battle. AS Frederick was q
prince, everybody tried TO forget the
incident just as quickly as possible,
and after that, when the king went to
war, he was just as brave as any 9th
er Soldie%.

Nature and the BarnacIe,

In the barnacle we have q unique
and wonderful case of Il creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
In youth. For the young and old
barnacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from scaweed In the
heyday of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking its food with tlfe
aid of its eyes and generally leading Il
roaming existence. Later in life, how
ever, it grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself to
the keel of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers of various pre-
ventive paints. Once, then, the barna-
Gle has become Il fixture, whether on
ships or sharks, its eyesight is of no
more use. 1t cannot seek its food, and
it cannot shun its foes, for it never
more will move. Therefore its eyes
become superfiuous and, according to
natures invariable rule in such cases,
disappear

Eating Test For Cooks.

In a certain employment agency ten
cooks out Of job waited one after
noon last week for situation to turn
up. Presently q well gowned woman
who was short of servants applied at
the desk for the desired help. The
manager referred her to the ten cooks.
The woman interviewed each of them
In turn with unsatisfactory results.
"Not one of them," she explained to
the manager of the agency, ''likes to
eat the things that we like"
"But what difference does that
make?" asked the manager. "They are
no doubt good girls for all that"
"Yet they wouldn't suit me-" the wo-
man replied decisively. MY family
have very pronounced tastes in cook
cry, and my experience has taught me
that only cook who likes the same
dishes that we like can prepare them
satisfactorily. That is Il matter of sim
pie common sense. 1t stands to reason
that any dish a cook likes will turn
out better than one she doesn't like;
consequently | will do the work my
self till / find Il girl whose tastes agree
with rs."-Philadelphia Ledger.

How Could She Do 1t?

The homely forms of speech used by
the country people with whom little
Edith and her mother boarded last
summer were frequently very puZzling
to the child.
One evening the farmers wife, in
talking for few minutes with Edith'S
mother, remarked that, as she was
very tired that night she would 'go to
roost with the chickens"
When Ediths bedtime arrived lit
tie later the youngster was nowhere to
be found. After considerable search
she was discovered sitting on Il large
stone near the chicken house, quietly
watching the fowl as they came in one
by one.
Edith" called her mother, "what
are you doing there? I've been look
ing for you everywhere; it's time to go
to bed"
81 know, mother" was the reply,
'but they're nearly all in now, so she'll
be here soon, guess"
"Who are in and who will be there?
What on earth are you talking about,
child?" asked the mystified mother.
Why" explained Edith, rather i'm
patiently, you know Mrs. - said she
was going to roost with the chickens
tonight, and I'm waiting to see how
she does it."

Stuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do

Her imitation of the negro dialect was
excellent, and her small son, who was
very fond of her accomplishment in
this line, frequently boasted of 1t
among the other children. Once, when
some of his schoolmates were vaunt-
