BIRDS NEED MUCH CARE
Some Points to Be Observed If the
Pet Is to Be Kept in
Proper Health.

She had just bought canary, and
the dealer was telling her what atten-
tions were necessary for the birds
welfare. He mentioned the proper
feeding. the daily bath, the cutie
bone for sharpening the bill, and fin
ally mentioned the fact that the little
singer must have a regular pedicure.
rPedicure," exclaimed the buyer.
eHow in the world will have to give
that?''
That's easy enough when you once
get used to it, the dealer told her.
I'm the first place, the feet have to be
kept scrupulously clean If they are
not the bird VIII not live long And
then the nails have to be kept clipped.
If they are allowed to grow too long.
the bird will not be able to get good
grasp on anything If he is let fly
about the room The nails have to be
cut almost as often as those of per-
son, and it is equally important 1
know lots of people who have ca
naries never think of clipping their
nails but the birds are much more
comfortable If this is done. and it
should be done fairly often.''

Mr. Taft's cabinet forms what might be called
a legal family Most of the members
yers of the first rank, and it is open secret
that they selected because of their high
ability There no longer books nature and
books on general history subjects in the Office Ii
brary of the White House. New book shelves
have been put in and them are hundreds of
the brownishred covered volumes which beto-
ken the law book. 1t is said that cabinet meet
ings these days take the semblance of a con-
sultation OF lawyers AS an example of this it
may be said that day the president in talking
to some newspaper correspondents said that
matter what subject was preached in the cabinet
room at that time the thoughts of everyone
from the suggested subject to the matter of the
Strengthening of the antitrust laws.
What the president said at that time is prac-
tically true of most of the present sessions of
the cabinet, for 1T is known that while Mr.. Taft
is anxious to carry out the Roosevelt policies he
wants to buttress them with the law that
means of which after the best intentions the
part of the legislators. the guilty might find
means of escape.
1t must not be supposed for an instant that be-
cause most of Mr. Taft's cabinet members are
lawyers, they have avocations in life to turn
them aside frequently from their vocations. Take
the ranking member of the cabinet for instance.
Philander Chase Knox. The secretary of state is
devotee of the outdoor life and is less
tive in open air pursuits than President
Roosevelt, though it is true that Mr. Knox does
for the pursuit of game for the study
of natural history.
The secretary of state, when he is not discuss
ing matters with the president, Is not engaged

horses. There few more ardent lovers of the

casionally and he is not averse to taking five

gste happens in his way. The secretary's chief
delight is driving. On his Pennsylvania farm
near Valley Forge. the of the awful winter
which was passed by the continental army under
George Washington Mr. Knox has many horses
of approved pedigree, and many dairy animals
also of noted forbears-
ury, who is the second ranking officer in Mr.
Taft's cabinet, is a merchant, although in early
days he studied law. Mr. Macveagh is not given
particularly the strenuous life as it IL viewed
generally He is much of a walker and has a
love of nature which leads him aield many G

rock-bound hills of the north Mr. MacVeagh has
proited by the reading and while his garden per
haps not equal to that planned and cultivated
by Mrs Thomas, it contains many OF the flowers
of the kind that make pleasant what people are
given to call old fashioned gardens
Mr.. Taft consults his treasury chief about econ
omies in government 1t Mr. MacVeagh who
asked as soon as Mr.. Taft took office, to pro-
vide ways and means to save money in the differ
ent Departments The merchant cabinet member
had the advantage of long business training
and it did not take him long to discover that 1t
possible to many thousands of dollars
by putting business methods in effect in the diff
ferent bureaus of government 1t was found for
instance, that good many bureaus of the depart
ments were in the habit of purchasing their sup
plies independently The result of this that
some of them paying much more money
for some articles than was being paid by others
Reform in purchase methods has come and 1t
has come also in many other lines, the net
suit being that Uncle Sans pocketbook is being
saved good many thousands of dollars yearly.

Taft's cabinet, is a southern and Demo-
crat 1t may seem little curious at first thought.

are glad that a southerner is the chief of the
department Despite the attitude of some Demo
cratic southern members of congress army
questions generally, the southerners feel kindly
toward the officers and men of the service There
is something in the military life that appeals to
them, and while the official southern Democrats
generally are outspoken against what they call
the danger of great standing army, the military
establishment it is has their sympathy always.
and their support frequently
The secretary of comes from that section
of the country where everybody loves horses, and
he is no exception to the rule He is golf play
or also, and this fact perhaps makes him appeal
to Mr. Taft's sympathies just much does the
TACT that the secretary is great lawyer Secre-
tary Dickinson is not serving in Washington in
an official capacity for the first time Years ago
he was the assistant attorney general during the
last "a months of the Cleveland administration.
and he was counsel for the government afterward
in the matter of the settlement Of the Alaskan
boundary dispute
When the president has particularly knotty
problem in legislation on hand and needs to study
1t from legal standpoint, he goes over it himself

until che middle of next week,
but I cOnld not come here with
this investigation progressing,
because l wanted the truth
brought out without any claim
that I, by my presence, had in
any way swayed or influenced
those who were conducting the in
vestigation.
"But I ask of this Legislature a
joint resolution requesting-be-
cause the Legislature believes it rs
best for the welfare of the State
of Mississippi-the Democratic
State Executive Committee to fix
a primary to be held between the
first day and the last day Of No
vember, 1910, to name the Sena-
tor who they desire to fill the long
term in the United States Senate
beginning March 4, 1913.
"Ex-Gov. Vardaman, of. course,
will have to concur in that re-
quest. for it will be q primary
held by consent and binding those
who consent to it. But when
that primary is ordered by a
Democratic committee and the
Democrats of the State of Miss
issipp; express their choice in it
in 1910, the nominOtion of that
choice in the primary of 1911 will
be but a simple fOrmality. No
one can doubt it.
II said that I only valued the
commission from the State. of
Mississippi when the confidence
and trust of the people of the
State went with that commission,
and I want to say to you now that
if the people of the State of Miss
issippi in that primary shall say
that James X. Vardaman, Or any
other son of Mississippi, if their
choice for the long term, the COM
mission that I hold from the
State, at the first Legislature that
convenes after that primary, will
be placed with my resignation in
the hands of that Legislature, and
my support, and the support of
my friends, will be given in that
Legislature for the election of the
choice of the people to the short
unexpired term as well as the
long term in the United State
Senate. (Applause.
"NOw, if Mr.. Vardaman con-
ours in this request, and have no
desire to force any vote on the
subject until his friends have had
opportunity to confer with him.
I shall request Of him-I do it
nOw-and 1 shall expect of him to
meet me in joint discussion before
the people of the State of Miss
issippi repeated applause), and l
there defend before the people of
the State the commission that
this Legislature has honored me
with, Or / will place that commits
sion at the disposal Of the people
Of the State. (Applause.
"When I represent Mississippi
in the Senate Of the United States
/ want to know that the commits
sion is stainless. The Legislature
of the State of Mississippi not
only wants to know, but hold in
the United States Senate a stain
less commission (applause), and /
now challenge Gov. Vardaman to
the acceptance of this primary in
1910 open to any Mississippian
that desires to enter it, and will
be bound by it and support the
nominee of it.
