cred a high degree of politeness &c
kiss ones hand and then place it on
the top of the head.
Menof rank occasionally kissed
each other, but in the land of the
Pharaohs no man ever dreamed of
kissing a woman.
In Rome kissing was at one time
a serious matter. If a sla,e kissed
a free woman he was liable to be
torn to pieces by wild horses.
IL was the great Cato who pro-
mulgated a law making II a punish

GOING THE WRONG MAY

A self conscious egotistical young
clergyman was called to a church
in a small town in upper New York.
After his first service the youthful
minister asked n of the deacons,
a big hearted but extremely plain
spoken old fellow, what he thought
of "this mornings effort"
The deacon was silent a few
moments before replying. Finally
he said:
well, I'll put it to we in a kind
of parable. 1t reminds me of

the deer's tracks all right, but he

Early Misunderstanding.

Perhaps" says Francis c. Wilson
in the Woman.s Home Companion for
January, "some one at the table 1--WE
were boarding. would say something
about a bridegroom devotion, and
Amy would think had not given the
right answer. She wanted me to say
something that would express Iuxr :
irous devotion and at the same time
reserve and naughty amazement
that any one should feel moved to dir
ect personal remarks toward us-a
fairly large order to execute on tt e
spur of the moment. Or perhaps
and what am saying now is as trite
as it is important-at moment when
/ was rejecting on some problem at
the office or perhaps not rejecting at
all, just feeling pleasant and passive
perhaps then she would wish me to
be demonstrative and idyllic. In live
minutes she would have me feeling as
if had acted like a brute, without
knowing just what had done. A
married men go through that of
course. There's sex difference there
that will always result in misunder
standings if not antagtnism. A m; n
loves his wife, tells her so, doesn't
expect to change and thinks she ought
to have the fact permanently salted
down. She can't get the feeling of the
fact unless she is told again and again,
always with the same old fervor."

Finds That PinchOt Has Been
IfsubOrdinate In Office
lis LETTER TO The SENATE.
It Thoroughly Arouses Indignation of
President, Who Fully Realizes What
Dismissal of Roosevelt's Friend
Means In Political Way-Decidedly
Tense Situation Created-House In
surgents Deal Blow at Cannon

Washington, Jan. 9.-Gifford Pin
chot, chief forester and intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was
dismissed from the service of the
United States last night by President
Taft for INSTRUMENTATION.
Associate Forester OvertOn w.
Price and Assistant Law officer Alex
ander C. Shaw, Pinchot's immediate
assistant in the forestry bureau, fol-
lowed their chief out of the govern
ment's employ.
This action came on top of Can
mons defeat by the house ''insur-
gents,' who, combining with the
Democrats, forced the adoption of an
amendment to the Ballinger Pinchot
inquiry resolution taking from the
speaker the power to appoint the
house members of the joint special
committee of investigation. The mar
gin of victory was only three votes.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac=
ton of Pinchot in inducing Senator
Dolliver of Iowa to read a letter from
him in the senate, President Taft
would listen to no advice that the
foresters violation of executive or
ders be overlooked pending the in
quiry soon to be undertaken by con-
gress. He declared the dignity of the
office he was chosen by the people to
| fill was being attacked and he would
| be unfaithful to his trust If he sub
mitted longer.
| Mr.. Taft realizes fully what the dis
missal of Forester Pinchot means in
political way. He had been con-
vinced for some time that the So
of his administration enlisted the ser
vices of Pinchot and practically were
defying him to relieve Pinchot of his
office.
The latter's letter of Thursday, few
here doubt, was written with the di-
rect purpose of putting it squarely
up to the president.
The president sought to avoid the
| threatened war as long as he could
but declared that patience has ceased
to be virtue. He picked up the gage
of battle thrown down by Pinchot by
the hand of Dolliver in the senate,
and with the administration support
ers is ready for the fray which is
certain to ensue.
Political observers in Washington
declare that the situation created by
yesterdays developments is the most
tense of many years. What the out
come will be no one is willing tc
prophesy.
AS for a possible breach between
Mr.. Taft and ex-President Roosevelt
that subject is much debated, but any
discussion of it obviously is entirely
speculative. On the subject of a spill
in the party, all Republicans here re-
gard the situation as exceedingly seri.
Gus.
Party leaders in the senate declare
that the controversy and the sum
mary action of the president are sure
to lead to many harsh words in con.
gress and to much bitterness of feel.
ing throughout the country. The!
say, however, that the presiden
could not, with dignity, have take1
any other course.
