When an officer was %patrolling

Stevens avenue and Main street.

the trolley cars, which, when they

would be a broken machine. even If
no one was injured. Will some one

A VACATION.

entire summer exploring his back
yard. A merchant sent him a check
for $1,000 and invited him to take
a trip to Europe. Agassiz replied
that he was too busy to go to Eur
ope. but proposed to Investigate the
treasures of his kitchen garden. He
began at one corne of the garden
and found a little stone that held
the Outline of q mollusk. Close be-
side that stone was another that had
the section of a fern. He kept on,
working across the garden. and after
three months. by the first of Sep

PLEASANT For CLERKS.


Beverly. Mass, Aug. 1S:-Being
a clerk in the executive Offices is
rather a pleasant job these days.
Last season the executive offices
were located in the Board OF Trade
building, at the corner of Federal
and Cabot streets. This year, how
ever. Secretary Norton decided on a
change. He leased the big house
fronting on the ocean and turned the
first floor into Offices. On the sec
ond and third floors are enough
rooms to accommodate all the clerks.
The employees have dubbed together.
employed a chef, and bought dishes
and kitchen utensils.
There is a big porch and a fine
lawn fronting on the ocean. The
view is superb and the ocean breezes
blow increasingly. The house is
comfortably furnished.
The only people who aren't satts-
fed with the new order of things ere
the newspaper correspondents. The
town is scattered out over six or
seven miles; the executive Offices are
half a mile from the town propers
and the Taft cottage ia two miles
away. The executives Offices must be
watched all the time for callers. as
all those who go to the Presidents
house generally ~makesthe arrange
ments with Secretary Norton.
There isn't any press room In the
big house now constituting the ex-
eeutiye offices. The newspaper men
are not allowed to loiter In the build
ing. The only thing left for thsn 10
do is to sit on the sidewalk; occupy
the kitchen porch, or sit under tho
trees in the front yard. The nearest
telephone or telegraph-says b
wires for the use of the offlces-is
half a mile away.

WHY TAFT is HEALTHY.

Beverley, Mass, Aug. 1S:-The
secret of President Taft's splendid
health is out. 1t is his ability to
take advantage of every opportunity
to recuperate from his labors and TO
snatch a few minutes of refreshing
sleep between activities.
Residents along the shore boule-
ward have grown accustomed to the
sudden appearance OF an automobile
with a big passenger just visible
through the dust-and that passen-
ger sound asleep. 1t is the Presi-
dent. The executive often sleeps in
his automobile going and coming
from the Myopia golf links-that is
when he makes the journey alone.
The other day when the presidential
party motored seventy-one miles
over to see Miss Della Torrey, the
aunt of the chief magistrate. the ex-
ecutive slumbered peacefully nearly
all the way back. The automobile
went nearly forty-fve miles an hour
the greater part Of the way.
1t is this faculty of the President
to snatch a moments est at every
available opportunity-the ability to
throw off the cares of state and gain
strength in little cat-naps-that
keeps the head of the nation strong
and healthy despite his arduous la
bors. 1t is said that on his trip
across the continent and back last
fall the President would board his
special train completely worn out af-
ter a speech or reception. drop into a
chair, and in a moment be fast
asleep. Twenty minutes later, when
a crowd at another station ciamered
. for his appearance, he would awake,
fully refreshed.
Captain Archie Butt, military
aide, has caught the habit. 1t is a
common sight late in the evening to
catch a glimpse of the presidential
automobile under an electric light,
and see both Executive Taft and
Captain Butt sound asleep. There
are always two other occupants,
however, who are very much awake
Robinson, the chauffeur, and the
secret service operative.
HAVE PRIVATE BEACH.
Beverly Aug. 1S:-President
Taft's clerks in the executive offices
here are to have the luxury OF a pri-
yate bathing beach. Just back of
the Pickering house. in which the
offices are now located, and where
the employees likewise eat and sleep.
Is a nice stretch of sand beach. The
bathing would be fine if it were not
for the boulders at the waters edge.
w. s. Human, Of the stenographic
force, was painfully injured by one
of these stones when taking a swim
recently. Secretary Norton prompt
ly ordered a laborer to clear off the
beach to prevent a repetition of such
! accidents, and has promised his force
a frst-class bathing beach.

can grown, and look as if they might
have grown just outside the city and
brought to town in cart. The price
as yet is almost prohibitive, 25 cents
per pound being asked by dealers.
All other lines of produce moved live
ly this week, imported rhubarb and
beets, and homegrown radish, lettuce
and spinach forming the bulk of the
market in green goods.
Prospects are bright for good crops
in every line. Gardeners and farmers
are already setting out their tomato
plants. They are not planting as early
as last year, but yet will be in good
season considering the late winter and
the extent to which operations were
delayed by the latenessi of open wealth
Ter The rain of yesterday. though
slight, will be of much value to those
crops that mature quickly, and all in
dications point to a vegetable crop
such as has not been in this vicinity IN
years.

providing the alimony ordered paid
monthly by the court, William Rand,

charge, claims that he only gets $50

most all he could make to pay off the
costs of the divorce suit, amounting to
$121. and that he paid the alimony for
February. but told the plaintiffs at
torney, John Fl. Pedigo, that he could
not pay the March allowance until the

not to pay it. Wherefore the court has
decided that he is not in contempt for
not paying, but ordered him to pay as
soon as possible.
