recently awarded the Albert medal or
the Royal Society of Arts for the dis
covery of radium. ''The boy who
wants to know what makes the wheel

some new force. Inquisitiyeness is an
essential to scientific research AS a
child Nine Curie was inquisitive. and
on more than one occasion she ran
narrow escapes of blowing herself and
her fathers house and laboratory to
bits in making experiments. Instead
of playing with her dolls, she found
greatest happiness in watching her
father at work. Ultimately she Went
to Paris. and there met Pierre Curie,
and together they made the great dis.
covery of radium.

Uncle Sam S Best Watch Dog

Well, in time | was sent to con-
gress, and had been there but one
term when | became convinced that
there was gross extravaganza in the
national appropriations Then began
to investigate a little, and pretty soon
| made up my mind that the majority
OF the appropriations were anywhere
from ten to fifty per cent larger than
they should be. That excess represent
ed waste, careless waste 1t wasn't my
understanding of good, old-fashioned
Democratic doctrine, and / made up
my mind that it was my duty to my
constituents and nay country to take
upon myself-since no one else, appar-
emily, would-the onerous task of
watching appropriations from the
standpoint of plain simple living.
Il realized that the pledge made
to myself to do this would cost me
some friends, and that occasionally
should have to resist many personal
opportunities. But / have kept that
pledge from that day to this, and in
doing so the government has been
saved millions of dollars that would
otherwise have been wasted.
THAT is all there is to it; you see,
my motive all along has been very
simple one. And am SO we'll con-

Many suggestions have been made
to explain the term Rom or Romani,
applied to the gypsies. The last is
that of Leo Winer in the Journtl of
the Gypsy Lore Society for Apr He
points out that the name is current in
Christian countries only. Llrope,
America and Armenia. From ie law
of Charlemagne it appears that the
gypsies pretended to be pilgrims, and
their name was usually connected
with that of Rome Ultimately, he
thinks. it originated in the Greek "eri-

popular etymology connected all her

err terms designated pilgrims were so
transformed as to bring them into
keeping with this new idea.

GreeZey's Secret Ambition

settled conviction when Greeley en-.
tered the Republican national conven-
ton of 1860 as a delegate, by proxy
from the state of Oregon, and earnest
ly opposed the nomination of Seward
for president.
Many years after this convention
had passed into history-in fact, after
Horace Greeley himself had become
badly defeated candidate for presi-
dent-Mr. Weed met Montgomery
Blair who was postmaster general in
Lincoln's cabinet The conversation
turned upon Horace Greeley and his
nomination and defeat for the presi-
dency.
Mr. Weed" asked one of the party,
did you ever know the reason why
Mr. Greeley announced the dissolu.
ton of the famous political firm OF
Seward Weed & Greeley by the with
drawal of the junior partner?"
Il never knew" replied Mr.. Weed.

eide for myself what occasioned that
breach in our longtime friendship. 1t
is the one great mystery of my en-
tire political career"

reason" spoke up Mr. Blair. AT
least l will tell you the reason as
have heard it from a source very close
to Mr. Greeley.

Yes interrupted Mr.. Weed, and
have always thought that Mr. Gree
ley at one time was little vain OF
the fancied facial resemblance be-
tween himself and Franklin
Well" continued Mr. Blair, Frank
lin was a printer, and so was Greeley.
Franklin was great postmaster gen
eral in the days before our present
government was established, and Gree
ley, for many years, had a secret am
bition to match the record of Benja-
min Franklin in that respect by serve
ing as postmaster general. He would
like to have been postmaster general
in President Taylor's cabinet. But he
was not, as you know, nor was he
ever asked to accept any important
office, never holding any Office, in fact,
except when he served a brief term
in congress to fill a vacancy caused
by death. He thought that all the
political honors were going to Seward,
he got tired of that, and So finally. he
dissolved the all-powerful political
firm of Seward, Weed & Greeley by
withdrawing from it,
For a moment Mr.. Weed looked the
establishment he felt. Il never knew
that, never even dreamt it, he said,
slowly, as if to himself 81 thought
he had come to the same determine
ton respecting public office that |
had-never to accept any. Why. gen
tlcmen, if we had supposed that Hor-
ace Greeley was anxious to hold office
we should have fairly crushed him
with offers. And to think that he kept
this secret from us all those years,
when to get Office he had but to init
mato what he wanted Now, indeed,
after all these years, the great mys-
terry of my political career is closed

about the church the party wandered.
Finally near the grave of Thomas
