everything imaginable, and the daugh-
ters-well. they were cultured and
did not do very much of anything ex-
cept eat the good meals and wear the
clean clothes. One day the father
called the mother aside. The two had
a long talk. and he admitted he was
not able to hire domestic. The next
day the usual complaint was made by
the girls about the poor dinner. and the
mother quietly got up. went to her
room, dressed and came downstairs.
She carried heavy suit case and
stopped long enough to tell the chill
dren that she hoped they would have
a better meal the next day. Their
father took her to the station. and she
was away from home one month.
Every one of those girls learned to
cook. bake, scrub and look after the
house, although they admitted that for
a week they lived on bakers bread.

Pastures of Children.

In recent lecture to mothers and
teachers on incorrect postures of chill
dren the speaker spoke of inturning
feet and the means of correcting them.
But turned toes and feet, she said. are
the result of training, and if the moth
er finds tendency on the part of her
child to turn the toes in she must re-
sort to training TO remedy it. This
consists in developing the outer mus
Giles by proper exercise.
OF the physical training of the child
from birth the lecturer said that. ex-
cessive crying being accepted as harm
full, the average mother therefore as
sumes that all crying is harmful and
should be suppressed. This is faulty
reasoning. The natural crying of Il
baby is really a means of develop
ment, as by crying the lungs are ex-
banded and the relations between cir
culation and respiration are thus es-
tablished and strengthened.

New York, Dec 3O.-New York city
experienced today its first municipal
strike in years, when the firemen on
the city ferry boats which ply between
Manhattan and South Brooklyn and
Staten island, went on strike because
the municipal government reduced
the number of firemen on each boat
from seven to six men in order to cut
down expenses. Hundreds of COM
muters on Staten island were unable
to reach Manhattan except by making
wide detour into New Jersey. The
city officials have hired 100 longshore-
men to take the places of the striking
firemen. The firemen quit in the
height of the rush hour.

The fire was started by an explo-
sion OF some sort, probably in the
second story. Half dozen tenants
declared they were awakened by a
shock which rocked the building and
which was followed by the sound OF
breaking glass. Instantly the odor OF
smoke was detected and in an in
credibly short time the second and
third floors were shot through and
through with flames and smoke. Ten
families were driven out of the house
into the zero weather, dressed only
in their night attire. Three babies
were dropped from the balcony OF
the third floor and safely caught In
the arms of the firemen. One Of the
pathetic features of the fire was that
most of the tenants and boarders lost
all of their clothing and money.

Lima, Peru, Dec. 3O.-A joint note

advising Peru to submit its boundary

Ecuador will not accept the sugges-

The two countries were brought to
the verge Of war last spring because
OF their inability to reach a settle

delayed an award, intimating that the
parties themselves might directly ne

No CHANGES IN
THE CABINET soon
Denial Of Report Published Of
Contemplated shakeup in
Official Family

New York, Dec. 30.--A Washington
dispatch to the New York World
says: ...4.
Revivals Of rumors of . cabinet
changes at this time come, paradox
ically, when there Is tho least prob
ability of any change.
The report that Mr.. Knox would
retire and that he would be succeed
ed by Mr.. Fairbanks, former vice
president, came on the heels of Mr..
Fairbanks visit to the president as a
house guest.
Secretary, Macveagh, of the treas
ury department, is not contemplating
resignation, nor are Attorney General
Wickersham or Secretary Nagel OF
commerce and labor. The latter two
are, perhaps, the oftenest consulted
by the president.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is
devoting all his attention to the post
Office department, and does not con-
template leaving that post. Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, who, 1t was
expected, would leave soon after he
had broken the record for length OF
service as cabinet officer. gives no
indication of wishing to quit his
work, and 1t is certain that the prest-
dent does not want him to do so.
Ballinger to Stay.
The probability of Secretary Balltn-
gers resignation was strongest last
fall, when he was issuing the most
strenuous denials Of such purpose.
II was known then that the secretary
intended to resign. II, indeed, he had
not already submitted his resigna-
tion, but 1t became known then that
If he actually did resign the presi-
dent asked him to stay.
Secretary Meyer Is satisfied with
his berth as head of the navy depart
hent, and President Tafe is satisfied
with Mr.. Meyer.
Secretary Dickinson is the only
member Of the cabinet who, It seems
possible. will leave It, and he only in
the event Of election az senator from
Tennessee.
Mr.. Dickinson's isolation is that Of
a Democrat who entered the cabinet
of Republican president. He has
alienated himself from his own par
ty, and he has not been taken into
the Republican fold.
As result, Secretary Dickinson Is
the lonesomest cabinet ohlcial WASH
ington has known In years. He has
practically no callers, save those who

ness. It Is even said that Secretary
Dickinson has had the experience Of
going over to the executive ofiice for q
cabinet meeting, and when he entered
the cabinet room hearing the buzz Of
conversation on politics instantly
hushed.
Reports Of Shake-Up.
The above refers to. the following,
which appeared yesterday morning:
While there 10 no Official authority
from the white house In the way Of
confirmation 1t can be said that Pres
ident Taft Is to make three, and per-
haps four, changes IN his cabinet.

gross these changes will not be made

his government cablegram denying
that anti-government plots had been
discovered in Portugal. Only one in
'dividual had been arrested, the dis
patch said, and he was person who
was making a business of inventing

WERE MURDERED
Wealthy Bachelor Brothers We're Vic.
Tins OF Foul Play.

Portsmouth, Ohio, Dec. 30-That
Minor and Oliver Piatt, wealthy bach
elor brothers, were murdered before
their bodies were burned IN the de-
struction of their house yesterday
was made apparent at the sheriff's in
vestigation today.
Fifteen shots were fred in the skull
of one Of the bodies and number of
smaller shot In the skull of the other.
Blood spots on the ruins of q front
door stoop, a bloody butcher knife
and empty shells found near by, sup
port the theory Of q double murder.
It is probable that the authorities
will make arrests In connection with
the case within the next twenty-four
hours.
