PRESIDENT TAFT has thrown a
L bombshen into the ranks of that
portion OF the secret service which is
assigned to the duty of protecting the
chief executive of the nation from as
sassination. 1t is a soft job for the
secret service men and often leads to
something better, several of those
who formerly guarded presidents now
holding government positions that pay
well and make the holder man of
some consequence in his home terri

Increased Price of Elk reeth.


During the last five years the value
of elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
ber of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa lndi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

A Drama on the Street.

A remarkable coincidence occurred
at San Bernardino, Cal. one day late
ly, whereby a couple about to be di-
vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a di-
vorce against her husband when her
little daughter darted in the path of
an onrushing motor car. The moth
ers screams attracted the attention
of a man who dashed in front OF the
machine, seized the little girl and
leaped to safety as the automobile
shot by. The rescuer proved to be the
husband and father. Explanations
were soon made, and the two made
their way to the attorneys office,
where Mrs. Preston tore up the di-
vorce complaint.

Taft Battles the Secret Service Men

ing any announcement of his inten-

started out for a walk. Generally he
has been accompanied by some cabi-
net official, but none of Wilkes men
was along.
On his last walk the president was
accompanied by his brother, Charles
p. Taft, the millionaire Cincinnatian.
They walked up to the capitol and
strolled through its wide halls.
So far as runs the memory of Alon-
20 Stewart, deputy sergeant at arms
of the senate, and that is full gen.
Grafton, it was the first time that a
president has visited the capitol on
the Sabbath day.
On another occasion the president
walked through Pennsylvania avenue,

Nagel's Department Caused Comraotion

that his department had decide to let
the ships plying between the United
States and Central and South Ameri-
can ports clear for their destinations.
Tones of international law were
brought forth and diplomatic etiquette
produced and. quoted to show that it
invited grave international complica-
tions if American ships should sail
from our ports during internecine con-
flicts and insurgent movements in the
Central American states.
Then McHarg brought out the stat
utes of the United States and showed
that the collectors of customs would
be subject to damages if they held
these ships when there was no state
of war existing in any of the coun-
tries, but simply little Instructions.
He told the officials of the state de-
partment that he didn't want to en-
barrass thier diplomacy, but the de-
partment of commerce and labor had
decided to let the ships have their
clearance papers. That was what hap
pened.

How to Address Government Officials

incorrect to address him as "Mr. Sec
retary," which title .a reserved for his
chief. Likewise 1t is decidedly bad
form to address or speak of the wife
of any public official including the
title of her husband. The wife of the
president is always addressed as Mrs.
Taft, for instance, and not as Mrs.
President" nor is the wife of sena-
tor Mrs. Senator Black" nor the wife
of an army official Mrs. Gen. Blank"
Such women in Washington are known
and addressed as Mrs. Blank"
A list of titles which it is proper to
use in Washington in personal inter-
course is as follows:
The president-"Mr. President"
The ice-president-"Mr. Nice-Presi-

Members of the cabinet
Secretaries of state, treasury. war,
navy. interior. agriculture and commerce
and labor-"Mr. Secretary"
The attorney general-"Mr. Attorney

Associate justces-"Mr Justice.
United States senator-"Senator."

lNTASHINGTON.- people on

form in which they shall address him.
Naturally uniformity is desired in this
respect by all government officials

necessary to follow if one would be
correct in his dealings with officials,
whether of a social or a business ma

There are some titled officials in the
army and navy who are granted a
higher rank socially by courtesy than
they are actually entitled to. For in
stance, lieutenant commanders in the
navy are, by courtesy, in social life
called commanders, while those below
that rank lose thier official title and
are addressed as plain Mister"
The same rule applies to the staff
officers of the navy. Likewise the as

reason for this is obvious. 1t is not
