Washington, Aug, 10.-(Special.E
Washington has put on its garments OF
summer quiet. Everybody was wait
ing for congress to adjourn in order to
get out of town. 1t will not be many
days now before the principal officials
of the government will be far away en-
joying their summer vacations. Every
man who possibly could arrange to
leave as soon as President Taft had
established his summer capital at Bev-
erly has left the city and will not re-
turn for month or six weeks. Cabinet
officers, bureau chiefs, heads of the
different departments-all, with but
few exceptions, are away. In fact,
the federal government is a "headless
government" so far as the officials in
charge are concerned, for nearly all
of the departments and bureaus are in
the hands Of subordinates and assist
ants. Long before congress adjourned
the, city was deserted to great ex-
tent by the families of officials and the
unofficial resident set, who do not re-

Question of Ship Subsidy.
The indications are there will be
big fight in the next session of con-
gress over the ship subsidy question.
The Merchant Marine league Of the
United States, with general headquar-
tiers at Cleveland, o., is in the field
early to work up sentiment in favor
of decisive action and of course will
advocate that this government vote

done in Great Britain, Germany and
other countries of Europe. The league
has started a monthly publication,
which is being extensively circulated,
and within the week the first number
has been placed free of charge In the

writer's, department officials, and sent
also to business men throughout the

to them the portemonnaie which, she
averred. he had not been able to wrest

One afternoon last summer man
occupied the rear end compartment In

was leaning leisurely against the door

in the station as the train took on its
burden preparatory for the journey.
He was powerfully built. and even
in this attitude of repose he betrayed
the tense control with which he domi-

The train was about to start when
the traveller noticed a woman strug-

When they had recovered their COM

felt his questioning gaze and spoke:

Though he caught the meaning of
her words in her smile and gesture. he
only bowed his acquiescence and set

the rumble of the speeding train. Once
he laid aside the paper to draw out
and light a cigar, but she was gazing
intently out into the closing darkness.
Then suddenly she spoke in English:

The American looked up question

repeated calmly, looking directly into

love Of joke even at his own expense.
The humor lost nothing by that in Mr.

favorite stories
He, William C. Whitney and several
other friends were discussing the sue
cession to the presidency Of Yale then
vacant before the election of Professor
Hadley, who then held the chair of
economics Another professor, longer
at the university than DR.. Hadley, was
a candidate. and his chances of win
ming the honor were under discussion.
"Well" said Mr.. Rogers, IF | had

"No, Henry" retorted Mr. Whitney.

and the buildings, but you would not
