Once more the glory of the year is

for a brief reprieve, for the frosts are
due and they linger not long beyond
the autumnal chill which forebodes
them. While yet the clover blooms
in the rowen, while yet the fringed
gentian delights in the swale, fairy
gold CLEANS at the edge of the woods
while the song-sparrow hesitates and
delays to leave the roadside thicket
while the hickory retains it's prisoned
fruit for the snatch of frost, and the

beautiful in their harmonies-in this

WASHINGTON the giving out
w of the news at the White House
perhaps the most striking departure
from the Roosevelt methods has been
shown since March A.
The day Of the 'fair-haired boy" as
the Roosevelt newspaper favorites
were locally (and perhaps enviously)
known, has passed. There are no
press agents of the administration, or
II there are they do not appear as
such at the White House.
Mr.. Taft had not been president
very long before he announced that
ne would cease seeing newspaper rep
resentatives with the same freedom
they had been accustomed to at the
White House. The first version of this
was that when he had anything to
communicate to the newspapers he
would send for representatives and
talk to them, but that at other times
he did not care to see them.
Either this was not his position or
he soon modified It, Now the practice
is to see newspaper representatives
by appointment, and when the inter,
view is sought the president requires
that the subject of it shall be stated
This gives him an opportunity to de,

ONCE Mrs. Taft became the owner
~ of Jersey COW she has been re
receiving hundreds of letters. Mean
while "Bossy" is giving a generous
quantity of rich milk, wholly uncon-
scious of what a stir she has created.
Many of Mrs. Taft's correspondents
are housewives who offer her various
suggestions as to butter-making, how
to produce the most palatable cottage
cheese, etc.
Mrs. Taft is glad to receive letters
like these, for she knows they spring
from no mercenary purpose. The most
persistent of the correspondents, how
ever, are cattle breeders who see
what great advertisement it would
be for them if they could have their
special herds represented on the big
lot back of the White House. Such
communications get no consideration.
If all of them were answered to the
satisfaction of the senders the big ell
liptical pasture back of the presidents
home would soon look like a wild
west cattle ranch.

Brown Paper for Kitchen Use.

II you have taste for cooking and
like to go into the kitchen now and
then to make some fancy thing you
can save the cook no end of trouble
by the use of brown paper while you
are at work. Before you begin with
your bowls and things spread a large
piece of paper on the table and then
put all your cooking utensils down on
1t and keep them on IT, If you break
eggs throw the shells on the paper;
in fact, the paper becomes the re-
ceptacle for all the "messiness" which
is a natural part of preparing things
to be cooked When you have made
your dish, or arranged your salad, or
finished the thing you are doing, all
the debris can be gathered up in the
paper and thrown away, leaving the
table as clean as II you had not been
at work.

TH HE size of the average family in
j the United States has decreased
from So persons in 1870, the date of
the first census, to 4.6 in the same area
in 1900.' according to volume being
prepared by the census bureau at
Washington.
OF especial interest from sociologi-
cal point are statistics of family life.
In 1890 families composed of no more
than three persons represented only
one-fourth of the entire number of
families, while in 1900 families of sim
liar size made up nearly 40 per cent.
of all families. Families composed of
six or more persons represented in
1890 more than one-half. but in 1900
scarcely more than one-fourth of the
families enumerated.
The number of children under 16
years of age to each white family
was 2S in 1890, as compared with LIS
In 1900. The ratio in 1890, of two chill
,dren under 16 years of age to each
white female 16 years of age and over,
declined to one in 1900.
OF 3.171.00O white persons enumer-
ated In 1890, approximately 100000
survived 80 years later, 1900 in 1880,
while in 1900 there were 23 persons
who reported their ages as 10 years
and over, so that at the census of 1900
It is possible that there were still
living persons enumerated in the first
census taken 10 years before.

cation, however, there is a good deal
of latitude. After the subject men,
toned is disposed of the president
talks about various matters brought
up by himself or his visitor.
President Taft has an intimate per-
sonal acquaintance with nearly all the
newspaper correspondents in Wash
ington. He calls them by their first
names and by nicknames. He knows
their families and friends. With those
in whose discretion he has confidence
he chats in the same jolly, frank way
as of old-with this difference: the
visitor is made to feel that he must
not take professional liberties. Mr..
Taft does not want himself or the
White House written UP as show. On
account of his personal intimacy with
the newspaper men he did not adhere
to his original plan of combining them
to very formal interviews, but this
concession does not mean making
copy" out of casual conversation.
There is no more running to him to
verify reports, to learn who is to be
appointed to Office, to get stories about
senators, to get advance statements
prior to official action.
Mr. Taft does not say much about
it, but he let's it be known that he In

He likes small talk to express his
views about men and affairs, and his
visitors may use what they hear for
their guidance, but not as presidential
