The President.
The Office Has Been a Stepping
Stone to Higher HOnOrs-The
Case of William Loeb. Jr.

PKVH position of secretary to the
H president has come to be re-
81 garded as a stepping stone to
higher honors or more lucra-
tive posts. George B. Cortelyou step

secretary of the new department of
commerce and labor, later becoming
postmaster general and then being pro-
NOTED still further. to the highly i'm
portant post of secretary of the treas

accept higher one. He was secretary
to Mr. Roosevelt when the latter was
In the executive chair at Albany, just
as Colonel Lamont was secretary to
Mr.. Cleveland when our only eX-presi-
dent was governor of the Empire
State. When Mr. Roosevelt became
vice president Mr.. Loeb continued as
his private secretary and on his acces-
sion to the presidency became assist
ant secretary to the president, serving
under Mr.. Cortelyou at first and thus
demonstrating his ability to fill high
er position when the latter's promotion
left vacancy.

questioned. But man cannot always

presiding officer The fact that for
FIVE years he has stood off those who
like to take the presidents valuable
time unnecessarily and has made few
enemies proves him a man of diplo-
macy. To help Mr.. Roosevelt in the
preparation of his 10000 word mes
sages. not to mention the voluminous
state papers and correspondence of
every description incident to the daily
routine at the White House or the in
terviews and statements given out to
the numerous press correspondents at
the capital. requires no small amount
of executive ability. There has been
talk recently to the effect that Mr..
Loeb would leave Mr.. Roosevelts serv-
ice before long in order to take up
duties as head of a Washington trac-
tion corporation. There has also been
gossip about the probability of his
being promoted to the cabinet the next
time vacancy occurs.
Mr. Loeb draws the comparatively
modest sum of $1,000 year as secre-
tary to the president. 1t has been said
that he might now be receiving $4,000
a year instead of $1,000 if he were do

THE STORMY PETREL.
A NaturaIist's Efforts to Discover the

A NaturaIst's Efforts TO Discover the
Secret OF Its Flight.
A naturalist visiting Algeria bought
from a sailor four captive stormy pet-
rels. They weighed about 165 pounds
apiece. Their wings were five inches
wide and had spread of four feet. The
ability of the petrel to breast the most
furious storms has been universally ad-
mired. Its name is derived from its pow
er of walking on the waves, like the apos-
tie Peter and its courage and strength
