Miss Bratton had noticed that Mi
nerva was not as buxom as she had
been two years before, but the negro s
perpetual cheer and good temper had
apparently bespoken never-ending
JOY in life; the mistress was therefore
completely amazed by these revela-
tions of the "White" family's black
skeleton.
A few weeks later, Minerva came
to Miss Bratton with the request for
the loan Of five dollars. It was will
lngly given without question. For
several days Minerva was even more
than usually absent-minded, and the
work was hopelessly slipshod.
Then came one morning when she
did not arrive until after breakfast
was over, making her entrance with
peals Of hysterical laughter, which
were in strange contrast with her cos
tune. She was CARRIED all in somber
black, with the exception Of star
tlingly green bow of ribbon at her
throat.

herself and listened.

tirely his own. and that President Taft

in drafting the bill which many other
members Of Congress receive.
In explanation OF his proposed bill Mr..
Stevens said he would not under an cir
cumstances offer it as an amendment to
the Payne tariff bill
Mr.. Stevens said he had laid his
proposition before President RoOse-
welt. who declared himself TO be de-
lighted with it, and asked how he
could be OF assistance The then
President urged Mr.. Stevens to take
the matter up with athe Secretary OF
the Treasury, who, after hearing the
details OF MI stevens plan. ordered
one of his SUbordinates To prepare

The official 20 whom the matter was
intruSted neglected to carry out his
