CHIEF cook OF The Ro-E
stefaro lnchioatro Tells About His
Easy Position ia the
Vatican.

Stefano lnchiostro is the name OF
the pope's cook. He has recently
been relating his experience in the
Veneto, from which it is seen that his
post is veritable sinecure.
For "a years he was the cook In the
seminary of the Patriarch of Venice
the dignity held by the pope before
his call to the chair of st. Peter, and
consequently was well known to his
holiness. On June %. 1908, Stefano
received summons from his old mas.
ter to repair to the Vatican.
He went. and was conducted to the
presence of the pope, and it was
only the geniality Of the pontif that
placed the cook at his ease, for he
was greatly moved.
The cook enables us to have q
glimpse of the daily life of his ven
cradle master. who is an example of
Horace's "obiter" that change of
place does not alter the man. After
celebrating mass the pontiff takes a
little coffee. Precisely at noon he
lunches. in company OF Mgr. Pescini
and Mgr: Bresson. They are always
served by a particular valet de cham.
bre.
The repast is modest in the ex-
IRENE. Some soup, a little meat from
the soup, and rarely Is there a
roasted Joint. At nine at night the
pope takes his supper, more frugal, If
possible. than the midday meal. vege-
tables and little meat is the night
repast. In winter the pope takes more
soup than in summer, made from
dried vegetables.
His holiness is very fond of the
"polentina" tsoupe de mais). made as
it was in the days past in Venice, and
1t is generally accompanied by some
fish sent from Civita vecchia or
Venice.

CHASING TIE ccUnTERFEITER
- s7N :
How the Secret Service Discovers
Makers and circulators OF
Bogus Money.

After counterfeit is detected de.
scription Of 1t Is widely circulated
through the newspapers and publica.
tons whose subscribers are chiefly
bankers and cashiers, and then the
service begins the work OF discover
ing the makers and circulators of the
bogus money. Sometimes the paper
used by the counterfeiter may afford
the clue which leads to his undoing;
sometimes purchases of the peculiar
shade of green ink that is used in the
printing Of the backs Of the notes may
be, traced, for the legitimate users of
these materials are all known in the
trade, and outsiders who purchase
such things are apt to be remembered
by the statesmen who keep in constant
touch with the agents Of the service.
1t has happened that information from
these sources has led to the discovery
OF counterfeiting plot before single
note has been issued. but this is rare
bit of good fortune. Later on there
came the photo-mechanical process
where the camera was employed to
lay the pattern down on a metal plate
and etching fluid took the place of the
graver. lnasmuch as camera and acid
lack individuality, the difficulty of
identifying the engraver was increased
tremendously. There are thousands
of photo-engraving Establishments in
the country, each one of which is com.
pletely equipped with the apparatus
and materials needed in the making Of
counterfeit, and yet you can count
on the fingers Of one hand the cases
where the equipment and technical
skull of these places have been used
illegitimately. And that think ia a
pretty fine tribute to the innate hon.
esty of the craft: at any rate, 1t goes
long way in sustaining ones faith
in human nature.-National Magazine.

CLOTHES A BUSINESS ASSET
seif-supportins Woman Who Wou!s
Succeed Should Be Well
Dressed.

Any woman who has her way 10
make in the world, whether in social
or business circles, must recognize
that dress is one of her chief assets,
a writer in the Delineator says. The
efficiency of saleswoman, a stenog,
rapher, a teacher-in fact of any WON.
an who works-is judged by her dress.
Shabbiness Is almost always taken as
ats sign of ill-success and 1t is popu-
lar if somewhat fallacious theory that
real merit and ability always succeed.
Carelessness is quite as blighting to
ones prospects as shabbiness. 1t may
not be altogether just or fair, but It
is true that wherever you go your So
cial position, your income, success or
failure, your ability and character are
appraised by the clothes you wear. II
were starting in business-I don't
care in what capacity-and had only
a very little money to invest, would
put 1t into clothes-clothes that were
suitable. attractive and we'll made. 1t
is what financiers call "a good risk"
an investment that is almost certain
to turn out well.
don't for moment advocate ex-
travagance In dress except for women
of large means. With them extraya-
gance is more than excusable-it is
justifiable. 1t keeps money In circula.
ton that would otherwise be idle. It
gives legitimate employment, which
Is the WiSeSt and most heneficent form
of charity, to women who need work.
But for women in moderate circum.
stances parsimonious attitude
toward dress is false and often fatal
economy. II you want to succeed in
anything, look successful. able, compe.
tent. Otherwise you can never inspire
confidence in others, and to look sue.
cessful, prosperous, assured, you must
be well dressed.

Council Nullities Elections of
StePret and Brain.
QUALIFIED ATHLETES TO VOTE
Meeting viii BE Called Next Week.
When All Athletes Who Have Com
Peted for the University in Open
Events VIII he Allowed to Vote.
PretentiOus Schedule Adopted.

At meeting Of the Athletic Council OF
the George Washington University. held
last evenig in the Office of W. F. R.
Phillips, dean OF the college and athletic
adviser. the election Of Jack Sterret and
Brain by different factions of track ath-
letes were nullihed. and a decision was
reached whereby the election OF a cap
tain to I'LL the vacancy left by the reslg-
nation Of Capt Clagget viii be left 70 ell
George Washington University athletes
who have competed in open events OF
athletic carnivals held during the season
Just closed. The manager Of the track
team viii be notified TO this effect to-
morrow. and viii be instructed to call 4
meeting Of those eligible 10 vote.
Sterret was reported as having been
elected captain OF the team, when, as a
matter OF fact, he had only been asked
by number OF his teammates. including
all Of the best runners on the team. TO
act as captain until an official election
could be held. Sterret will undoubtedly
be elected as a number OF the athletes
who. under the new ruling, viii be
eligible 10 vote have stated that under
no other conditions viii they represent
the university. In the estimation OF the
athletes who. during the season Just
closed, have been the most consistent
point winners for the university, Sterret
is the only man. deserving the honor.
The meeting on Monday afternoon. At
which but three men, CIsgget, Birney.
and Brain, were present. and at which
time the last named was chosen captain.
has been ridiculed b. various members
OF the team. Brain was elected. so say
his two teammates, in spite OF the fact
that he has not represented the university
during the past season
After decision had been reached con-
corning the election of a captain for the
track team. Manager Sommers. Of the
football eleven for 1893 submitted his
schedule. which. after some discussion.
was adopted. Because ofthe fact that a
field has not yet been selected, although
several sites are under consideration. the
athletic council decided 10 defer the pub
LEGATION Of the schedule until a later date
In speaking OF the schedule. AthletiC
Advisor Phillips said: The schedule ar
ranged by Manager Sommers is the best
in the history OF athletics al the school.
Some might declare fl too pretentiOus.
but Sommers and Capt. elect Aston
feel confident that with the material
available next season they have little 20
fear"
Tt IS understood that games have been
arranged with all teams included IN last
seasons schedule. and three new ones.
As previously stated In The Washington
Herald. the new games are those with
the Carlisle Indians. Washington Col
