Hot Springs. Va. Dec. 3-President-
elect Taft made it decidedly plain to-
day that no information for publication
might be expected from him regarding
the makeup Of his cabinet until he is
ready To make the official announce
ment of the entire cabinet. Acting on
this declaration, he declined to discuss
the report from Cleveland that Repre-
sentative Theodore r. Burton of Ohio
had been offered the treasury portfolio.
The present situation with respect TO
the matter is understood to be that
Mr.. Burton has been told by Mr. Taft
that he may be invited to accept a
cabinet position, and that either the
treasury or state department may be
available in this connection. Should
he fail in his ambition for the senate.

Washington. Dec. 3.-That Repre-
sentative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio
has been offered the portfolio of secre
tary of the treasury is generally be-
lieved in Washington. For years the
Cleveland representative has made a
study of questions of finance, and the
addition of another member OF the
house committee on banking and cur
rency last winter by Speaker Cannon.
in order TO appoint Mr.. Burton to that
committee when currency reform was
to be enacted into law, was considered
a fitting compliment to the Ohio mans
ability.
1t is known that Mr.. Burton would
rather have the position of secretary
of the treasury than any other portfa-
lilo, but is inclined to prefer a seat in
the senate TO a place in the cabinet.
For that reason it is believed he will
withhold his answer to the proffered
cabinet position until after the SEN
atorial situation in Ohio has clarified
When asked concerning the report
that he had been selected for secretary
of the treasury, Mr.. Burton said TODAY
that his name unfortunately had been
mentioned in connection with a num-
Der of positions. Some of these. ne
explained, were mere conjectures and
greatly embarrassed his endeavors
along other lines. He mentioned in this
connection the senatorship from Ohio
and the positions of secretary of state
and secretary of the treasury He
added that he was at present a candi-
date for the Ohio senatOrShip.

AMONG RICH CHILDREN

was the setting that the onlookers fully
expected to see a party of Colonial
Danes or some titled personages when
in marched the diminutive hostess and
her party to be served with delicacies,
both in and out of season, the feast
lasting almost two hours. The prospec-
tive play was thoroughly discussed by
the small fry and three large crimson
motors bore them away to their pleas
ure Doubtless the mothers who per
NIT such elaborate forms of entertain
ment in a public place think they are
doing what will make their children
happiest in early life, and so give them
only delightful memories of that time.
In reality they are making them only
overbold and old beyond their years,
and running their digestive organs as
well by unsuitable food.
COMMON FORM OF PRETENCE.
Another crushing feature is the abil-
ity some children have to fib glibly
about the grand possessions of their
various relatives, each separate belong
ing being glorifed almost beyond re-
cognition by the real owner by the
child s desire to make it more mag
nifcent than anything her visitor may
recollect ever having seen. Unchecked,
too, as a usual thing, are these startling
conversations. Nurses or governesses
either do not hear them or pay NJ at
tention to any murmurings that do nos
end in hair pulling and consequent
bowls. IF repeated from mother to
mother they would mean a lasting en-
nifty, so the hushing and soothing have
to be done with the knowledge that
time alone will straighten out affairs,
and frequently there is a latent hope
that this Strengthening may mean less
power to the neighbor, as nowadays the
sins of the children are visited upon
the fathers, or, rather, the mothers, for
men usually give no encouragement to
the "richer than thou = sentiment held
by the rising generation.
The old-fashioned child, unless she
comes of old-fashioned stock that has
not departed from it's tradition as to
proper bringing up, is type rarely met
with, and when found and cast by lot
among up-to-date little girls is ruth
lessly made fun of and pushed to the
wall, unless she is born a leader, in
which case her careful ways and prim
manners will be copied with precision,
and as long as her influence lasts a
new and chastened style of conduct will
prevail.

n Ni6hfin6aIe'S Mistake.

A nightingale made a mistake!
She sang few notes out of tune;
Her heart was ready to break.
And she hid away from the moon.
She wrung her claws, poor thing,
But was far too proud to weep,
So she tucked her head under her wing.
And pretended to be asleep
lark, arm in arm with thrush,
Came sauntering up to the place;
The nightingale felt herself flush
Though feathers hid her face.
She knew they had heard her song,
She felt them Singer and sheer,
She thought that this life was too long,
And wished she could skip wear.
20 nightingale" cooed a dove,
20, nightingale! what's the use?
You bird of beauty and love,
Why behave like a goose?
Don't skulk away from our sight
Like common contemplate fowl
You bird of JOY and delight
Why behave like a fowl?
only think of all you have done,
Only think of all you can do;
A false note is really fun
From such a bird as you
Lift up your proud little chest,
Open your musical beak;
Other birds have to- do their best,
You need only to speak
The nightingale shyly took
Her head from under her wing,
And giving the dove a look,
Straightway began to sing
There was never a bird could pass,
The night was divinely calm
And the people stood on the grass
To hear that wonderful psalm
The nightingale did not care,
She only sang to the skies;
Her song assembled there
And there she fixed her eyes
Of the people who stood below
Very little she knew;
So clear did the sweet sound flow,
That the angels listened too

An interesting controversy as to the

ousted from her home at 26S Third
avenue on April by her husband, w.

at Judge Morse's divorce matinee yes

Watson is suing his wife for divorce,
claiming that when he came home on
the day in question he found her i'll a
compromising position with another
man. A week ago the wife secured an
order from Judge Armstrong requiring
Watson to pay her $50 attorneys fees
to fight the case, and also give her all
the clothes belonging to her which re-
manned in the house.
Watson, it appears, put all the stuff
in a trunk and put it out on the lawn
and then telephoned his wife'S father
to come for it, which he did
The proceedings yesterday were as
to whether Watson should be punished
for contempt for failing to deliver the
goods properly.
Mrs Watson, slender woman of
perhaps So years, first took the stand
and read off a long list of wearing APP
parel which she had not received. This
included everything from five kitchen
aprons to fluffy petticOats and white
waists, and was most entertaining.
Then Watson read a list of things in
the trunk which was equally in detail,
