"The first time I was asked to take such a picture the subject was just about the most appetizing collection of sandwiches I'd ever seen. They were ar ranged on a dainty dolly and placed in beautiful silver dish. I was told where to deliver the photo, and return the disn, but to never mind about the sandwiches.
 "As I saw in these a much better lunch than I could get anywhere else, I took pot of coffee to go with the sandwiches l hardly knew which one to begin on but finally decided in favor of an artistic com bination of brown bread and cream cheese. The filling which I'd supposed was cream cheese proved to be a stiff flour paste and rancid at that It coated my mouth and stuck to my teeth. l did some inquiring after that and found that many a photographer has tried to eat similar stuff Croquettes made of soap. then covered with glue and rolled In bread crumbs was one appetizing subject brought in to friend of mine to be pho tographed and another in the business told of little blocks of wood dipped in frosting to represent small fancy cakes.

 "A woman can keep an important se- cret as we'll as man. The secrets she reveals are slight and harmless ones. such as any man would reveal. Where Is the woman who ever tells a secret that reflects on her husband or her own chil- dren?
 "I know a man who one day refused to tell his wife the outcome of business transaction. in which, quite naturally she took a deep interest.
 " No he sneered when she asked him about it. You women make me tired: you can never keep a secret.

Rod and Wire Mill.

The recent official announcement of the erection of a s, ,OOO 900 rod and wire mill by the American Steel and Wire company at Ensey continues to be the topic Of conversation, especially among the former employees of the rod mill.
 Some idea of the immensiy of the new plant may be formed from the fact that the total valuation of the rod and wire mill that moved to Gadsden was $6O0,0OO, while the mill to be erected will cost many times that amount The site will be between Ensley and Wylam and according to the statements of former employees will employ more men than the steel mill.

NORTH'SFATE IN DOUBT
RENEWED EXCITEMENT
IN CENSUS BUREAU.
Secretary Nagel Making a Searching
Investigation of It's Methods
:, Supported by President.
TFronn The Tribune Bureau


Washington MAY I5-The fact that the Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor is quietly pros
eCuting his investigation into the methods Oh
the census bureau and that the Official fate of
Director North still hangs in the balance mas
led certain friends Of the director 10 put IN
circulation a rumor that Congress will not pass
any census bill until the friends or Mr.. North
are assured that he will be exonerateo ana as
sured Of retention In Office. Conditions in the
census bureau are again al white heat, and all
sorts of runaors regarding the course Of Secre-
tary Nagel are in circulation.
The facts are that Mr.. Nagel has never
reached any decision regarding the administra-
ton of Director North, that he found com
plicated situation which he has attempted to
11nraveI that the President has assured him that
he will do whatever Mr.. Nagel recommends with
regard to Mr. North, and that the Secretary who
Is a careful and thorough administrator, has
determined to investigate the subject thoroughly
before reaching any conclusion. By direction of
Secretary NageI Charles Earl, solicitor for the
Secretary, has been making an investigation
into the cost OF the construction and mainten-
ance Of the calculating machines which Mr..
North purposed TO use for the next census. Work
on the contracts for parts OF the machines Mr..
North purposed TO build has been suspended, and
everything is being held in aoeyanCe pending
the decision of the Secretary. Mr.. North ard
his chief clerk, William S. Rossiter, have been
on the carpet this week and Mr.. Nagel has
given to no one any intimation Of his ultimate
purpose.
The rene wal Of excitement at the Census Bu-
reau and at the Capitol is due to the unfounded
report published about two weeks ago to the
effect that the incident first made public IN
these dispatches was closed" Taking this
statement at its face value many were seriously
rnisled and are amazed 10 find that II never
had been closed and is not closed yet; that.

Director North long ago assured the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of his willingness to

tons. told IN these dispatches at the
time but that assurance has not deferred Mr..
