and the congressman in nearly every case lead
the way to the presence of the president.
The wonder is If the country knows how much
hard work goes in the White House, not only
in the presidents office, but in all the adjoining
Offices. II anyone enves the private secretary
his position perhaps he would throw envy to the
winds after watching Charles Dyer Norton go
through one days labor The assistant secretary
works just hard does the chief secretary
and in the Office communicating with the room Of
these two hard-working men is room filled with
stenographers and clerks hard at work.
There is one White House clerk who has
most painstaking job Invitations to the semi
public White House receptions of course are
graved, but as the name Of each person invited
must appear on the engraved ticket of admission
which accompanies the invitation one line OF
the ticket must be left blank because the engra-
wing of 1000 individual names one to go on each
card, would be endless task and tremendous
expense 1t is the duty of Of the clerks to
fill In the names and to do it so that the writing
shall look though 1t were engraved This he
does in a way that deceives the ordinary eye
sight. A card of admission to one OF the White
House receptions looks If 1t were all the work
Of the engraver. fine is the handicraft Of the
man who fills the vacant line with the tracing
Of his ordinary pen.
About year and 4 half ago the clerk who did
this engraving died and It became necessary to
find some one to take his place. 1t was supposed
that this would be a hopeless task, that at the
best the services Of a man must be obtained who
after long practise might be able to accomplish
what his predecessor so successfully had done
To the surprise OF everybody the first cards OF
invitation that went out Just deceptive as
far as engraving and handwriting were concerned
as we're those that had gone from the desk Of the
man who for years had labored at the task and
had arrived at perfection which It was supposed
no one without months Of practise could reach.
One OF President Taft's daily tasks IS to sign
the commissions Of officers of the army and navy
and Of men appointed to various positions in civil

GREAT VALUE OF DAIRY SIRE
Important That Calf Should Have
Good Percentage on Both Sides
Pure Breed Are Costly.
(By r. b. Roe,)

Raising the heifer calves OF good,
hish-producing cows. is great funda-
mental requisite for the best and
easiest Improvement of a dairy herd
But those calves viii take their
qualities from both parents, and II is
equally important that each calf
should have good parentage on the
male side. But an inspection of many.
dairy herds viii show that compare
lively little attention is paid to the
quality of the sire
| have too often seen herds in
which the heifer calves we're raised
for future cows out in which the
bulls used were miserable little scrubs,
and weaklings, obtained by simply
saving a grade calf from the herd.
And Of many other sires. fairly
good as individuals, nothing is known
of the actual milk production of their
female ancestors.
There are as I view It two princI-
pie reasons for this One is that UNI
der the custom of selling the calves
for veal 1t does not make much diff
ference about their breeding. But as
this custom must be changed by sue
cessful dairymen and the best heifer
calves raised for cows, It becomes nee
essary to provide good sires
But another great reason is that
the pure-bred sire costs more money.
Underlying both these Ia the funda-
mental reason that many dairymen
do not yet realize the wonderful i'm.
proyement that can be wrought by a.
good head of the herd.
