Notes From Washington
From our Regular Correspodennt.

President Taft is seriously
disappointed that John Hays
Hammond cannot accept the post
of Minister to China and has
told Mr.. Hammond that he must
find the right man for the place.
Both the President and Secre-
tary Knox regard it of the Ut
most Importance that they lind
a man of exceptional ability Tor
Picking, as Mr.. Taft, who has
long been a student of Far East
ern affairs, is convinced that the
time is ripe for work in China OF
a notable character. The Presi-

Mr.. Hammond's judgement, and
expects that before long he will
have found and recommended q
man in every way suitable to the
post.

A Fair EXCHANGE.

At a gathering of medical men
one of the number was a noted
practitioner who is ALMOST as well
known for his shabby attire as he is
for his skill as physician.
When the gathering was about to
dispense the doctor in question
could not find his hat. Instead, to
his great surprise, he found nice
new glossy silk hat, which hap
pened to fit him as though made to
his order. When he got home he
exhibited his headpiece with con-
siderable pride.
The next day, however, fellow
doctor turned up to claim the hat.
EPermit me, my dear DOCTOR ,
said the second medico, "to apollo
gize for my little trick, which grew
out of the fact that yesterday you
carried an umbrella, while had
none. It occurred to me that, while
my new silk hat would be ruined by
the rain, yours would not. Accord
ingly I took the liberty OF. leav-
ing mine in place of yours. Many
thanks. "-Harper's Weekly.

A .foman.s Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "locap treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify.
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver. cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion 1t also cures cousti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single

THE soUID's HUEs.
Why the Creature Is Able to Change
It's Color,


Its Color.
One of the most interesting Of
the discoveries Of science is the Sc
cret of the means whereby certain
animals change color. The most
familiar and celebrated exsmple in
this line is the lizard called the
chameleon, but there are many
other creatures both on land and in
the sea that possess similar power.
Noteworthy among them is the
common squid. If specimen Of
this interesting kind of mollusk,
fresh out of water, be laid on a ia
BILE and watched, its hues will change
so constantly that literal waves OF
color seem to be passing over it
from moment to moment. That
this happens in response to impulses
conveyed through the nervous sys-
tenn of the animal is manifest, a
mere tapping with a finger on the
table causing a rush of the color
waves described.
The secret lies in the fact that
Immediately beneath the skin OF
the squid is sort of network OF
small channels, in which are fire.
quent larger spaces occupied by pig
ment cells. These cells are under
direct control of the nervous sys-
tenn, which causes them to contract
OF expand. When they contract the
color disappears, which is what
happens when the squid dies, for
then it turns dead white, although
it's normal hue in life is reddish
brown
Even in death, however, the pig
ment cells beneath the skin of the
squid may be distinguished by the
eye as minute specks. In life these
specks expand to, the size of big
| pinhead and run together, thus pro-
ducing the brown tint It is sub
stantially the same phenomenon
that is. accountable for the rapid
changes in color observed IN the
chameleon, in many fishes and in
various other creatures-changes
which are evidently for the purpose
of disguise, enabling the animal to
escape observation by assuming a
likeness to its surroundings. Thus
the common sole initiates with its
coloration whatever kind of bottom
it may be resting upon, whether peb-
bles, sand or what not.
The pigment cells referred to are
called "chromatophores," and some
times they contain two or more diff
ferent kinds of pigments, some of
which disappear, while others per-
sist, the result being that, as in the
case of the chameleon, a consider
able range of colors may be dis
played.-Saturday Evening Post.

WAITED FOR DAWN.
Four Poker Hands That Were Held All
Night In the Dark.

A soldier told this poker story,
which incidentally accentuates the
distrust with which poker players
regard one another when friend
ship ceases" and the faith man has
in the hand he holds:
One night after ia ps four men
gathered in a tent to do away with
their pay. Tt was the night of pay
day, and there was no convenient
place in which to spend their money
except over cards.
The game had gone on with vary
ing fortune here and there. It was
after midnight. The sentry was a
chum and had been told not to see
the light in the tent. At last a
jackpot was on the board and had
been "sweetened" until it was very
tempting. Every one was in it, and
it was worth before the open about
$40. When one of the players
opened it, every one stayed and
drew cards.
The age had full house, the next
man four tens, the third man four
queens and the dealer four aces.
The opener threw a dollar into the
pot. The next man raised, and it
was raised and reraised until it was
beautiful to see.
At this point there was scurry
of footsteps outside. The sentry
rushed in, grasped the lantern and
dashed it out, jerking and extin-
gushing it as he did so. AS he
disappeared he whispered hoarsely:
"Oficer"
Instinctively four hands went out
in the darkness and spread them,
selves over the pot, while four other
hands closely clutched five cards
each.
'Hold on, fellows" whispered the
dealer. every one take his hand
off the table and keep it off until the
light comes back. Well just sit
here and nurse our cards. My hand
is good enough to wait for"
"So's mine," said the others.
Then they waited. Slowly the
night passed, growing chillier and
more chill in its going. The sentry
was cursed, the officer was cursed,
but still they sat. At last the first
glimpse Of gray appeared in the sky,
and as soon as it grew light enough
the four played their hands and
tumbled in for a few minutes sleep
before the bugle called them out
again.-Exchange.

BRUTES HER PUPILS
Girl on a New Jersey Farm VINO
Trains Dull Animals.
Winona Won OIL Has Done Wonders
with Domestic Horned Cattle Usu-
ally Considered stupid-conquers
Vicious Young Bull.

New York.-On a small farm about
two miles from Plainfield, n. J., lives
a young woman who is among the
most remarkable educators in Ameri-
ca. She teaches animals, preferably
dull ones supposed to have little brain
development. She is not profession
al trainer. She simply does it for her
own amusement She has accomp-
hshed some things - especially with
horned domestic cattle, which are con
sidered the most stupid of all dOmes-
tic animals-that have been thought
impossible hitherto even by profes-
sionals.
/ Her name is Winona Won Oil. She
was born and brought up on great
icattle ranch in New Mexico. She and
her mother moved to Plainfield two
or three years ago. It was not long
before the news began to get about
OF the odd things this girl had taught
her pets to do. An eVeT-increasing
number Of visitors has been the result.
Now there is hardly a day but auto
mobile parties run out to the farm
from the various towns for ten or
twenty miles around to see if it is true
that Miss Won OhTs horse can hold
whip in his teeth and crack it, or that
a bull will stand on its hind legs and
waltz, or that her calf will indulge in
all sorts of mOnkeyshines.
Cheerfully and Obligingly she puts
her pets through their PAGES. The
mild-eyed but Misunderstanding lit
tel calf is brought out, and is made
to do all the tricks that a highly
trained clown dog could An educated

raccoon vaults on the calls back and
gallops about with all the eclat of a
bareback rider in a circus. A once
vicious bull does equine high school
tricks, and SO on. The calf and the
bull are the star performers. No one
ever has been able to teach such ami.
mails to do stunts" before.
1t has been a tradition among train
eTs that it is impossible to educate
domestic horned cattle to do tricks.
Miss Won Oil decided to experiment
with the toughest subject she could
find. She let it be known that she
wanted to buy the most dangerous
and vicious two or three-year-Old bull
that was Obtainable for miles about
Plainf1eld. Much to her joy she heard
of one whose owner was going to kill
him because of his superlatively ugly
temper He was between two and
three years old, and had gOred three
men. 1t was the same with this
vicious animal that it had been with
the horses she had tanned on the range
years before. SuTliIy and unwillingly
at first he yielded to the dominance
that he could not understand. Miss
Won Oil got him this spring. To-day,
with her, he is as gentle and as clever
at doing quickly and intelligently the
unusual things he has been taught IS
is a docile and well-trained horse. He
poses on barrels and pedestals, lies
h,
command, waltzes, and so on. Even
yet, though, his evil nature will flare
up for an instant, but it needs only
word from his trainer to make him
obedient again.
One of this bulls most remarkable
tricks, considering his vicious recQSd

miss Won Oil lies on the grass, pre-
ttending to be asleep. The bull ap-
tprOaches and literally roots and noses
her across the turf seeming to derive
great enjoyment from rolling her over
land over and finally seeing her awake.
His horns are only four or five inches
long, but are sharp as needles. With
an animal of this description. the ex-
perts say, this particular trick is a
shade more dangerous than any that
is attempted in the lions or tigers
cages by the exhibitors of those great
cat animals. Another thing this buU
does is to pick up his teacher and
carry her. He grabs her clothing with
his strong teeth and marches along
with her for a dozen yards and then
carefully let's her down to the ground
Miss Won Ohls first notable achieve
ment in training stupid animals was
some years ago, when she taught a
herd of 20 mules to do some remarka-
bIe tricks. Horses have been trained
10 do all sorts of things from time i'm

having small brains and of invariably
misapplying what little intelligence
they possess. It was while she was
living on the ranch that she taught
the mules.
