LAUGHS OF MANY VARIETIES ISSUE FROM
ANAT0i|ES OF WASHINGTON CELEBRITIES

though the levity of the occasion were
merely a bait to draw out the other
person while the eyes scrutinized
whatever secret of countenance might
be unveiled by the flash of merri-
ment.
Secretary of War Dickinson has
raucous sort of laugh although it is
not especially distinctive. 1t is much
the same as that of any big man who
can take pleasure in funny story
but it does not always indicate a
mirthful temperament.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer is not
man Of mirth. His laugh is a quiet
one such as would not cause any
head to turn in the best ordered
drawing-room, but he has the power
OF omitting it at the proper moment.
He can lean back in his chair from
the knottiest problem unwrinkle his
forehead and give a mirthful, ami
able, velvety little ripple which quite
suits the occasion.
Uncle Jim Wilson, Secretary OF
agriculture, and grand father of the
cabinet" has a nice, we'll defined
western Iowa laugh when the idea
strikes him. 1t is a very characteris-
tic sort of uneuphonious utterance
/ II comes forth unbidden by circum-
stance, is not very loud and depends
entirely upon the secretary's inward
state of being. He laughs when he
pleases.
Attorney General Wickersham is fal
different from Bonaparte, his pre-
| decessor who often chuckled to him
self whenever the popular voice hap
| pened to be lambasting him. 1t wa!
quiet confidential sort of chuckle
apparently not meant for other ears
Wickersham never laughs withou

erican Bar association and we'll de

He is full of funny stories, however
and laughs robustly on occasion.

andonment to mirth is not in hi
makeup. He would never think 0
letting himself go to the extent o
giving an ungraceful and reverber
ating whoop.
Secretary Of the Treasury MacVeagl

GAR DENOUNCED IN
GERMANY AS "DEMON'

Berlin.-The feature of the weeks
events in Germany has been the fe-
rocious attack made on the Car by
socialists, democrats, radicals and lib
erals A great demonstration, which
was planned to take place in the vi
cinity of Freidberg Castle. where the
Car is staying, was postponed by the
police, but within forty-eight hours
the socialists held a meeting within
five miles of Freidberg Castle with
out police permission.
The most violent speeches were de-
livered abusing the Car. He was de-
nounced as "a bloodthirsty tyrant,"
"a murderer" "the instigator of ruth
less massacres," demon" and by nu-
merous other epithets Similar de-
nunciations have been made from plat
form at many meetings in South Ger
many. The Car is regarded as the
arch anti-semite of Russia and this
has caused the radicals and liberals
to supplement the attacks of the So
cialists, all laying stress on the mas
sacres and persecution of Jews in
Russia.
The Czar during his stay in Ger.
many mas Deen Ine target lot u ser
| les of absolutely unprecedented at
tacks such as never before were lev
eled at any European monarch. These
attacks are embarrassing to the Ger
man government to a most serious
/ degree because the relations between
Germany and Russia were neve,
| friendly and because a different al
| ignment of the powers is feared.
The Cars personal resentmen
may be so aroused that German dip
lomacy may never be able to detaci
Russia from the Anglo-French en-
tonte and thus restore the ancien
hold alliance. "'The North Germal
Gazette" the official organ of tn
| German government, and other in
spired newspapers have done thei
best to appease the Car by publish
ing stern reprovals Of the attack
showered on him. But there Is a per
sonal difference between the Kaise
and the Car OF long standing.

Washington.-If as much depends
upon a mans laugh, or his lack Of
laughter as has been asserted by
distinguished French scientist, Presi-
dent Taft, who is himself the father
of a particular brand of uproarous
mirth-sound, has an odd assortment OF
to run the affairs of the executive
end Of the government
When the president was secretary
of war the heavy mahogany doors of
the war department were not suffi-
cient to shut out the sound that is
sued forth despite these barriers
when he saw something that Struck
him as funny. And he saw many
things in this humorous light. He
laughed more then than he has since
although from the executive office
there still issues forth now and then
the echo of a great and sonorous
laugh, a big man kind of laugh, be-
speaking good digestion and good
lungs.
1t Is doubtful whether President
Taft has selected a single man who
can duplicate his laugh or even come
anywhere near 1t.
When Roosevelt was president he
was no mean second in the matter OF
laughter to his secretary of war. II
wasn't the sonorous, easy going COM
placent sort such as President Taft's
but it had rare qualities. 1t had the
effect of making everyone who heard
It laugh too, or at least smile. 1t was
exhuberant, choppy, If you like; ir'
regular. boyish at times, rising to
treble as II its creator was having
the time of his life at the moment OF

secretaries passing his door stopped
to smile at his medley OF merrimen
and II issued forth most often just a
the time when one thought that thu
colonel was in his tightest corner, helc
a. bay by his enemies.
Former Governor Guild Of Massa
chusetts took occasion the other da!
before leaving for Mexico with th'
American delegation which is to at
tend the Centennial Celebration

Fraud in Family Bible.

London.-The already numerous
duties which fall to the government
laboratory have been added to since
the passing of the old age pensions
act.
In his annual report the principal
chemist states that in consequence of
suspected frauds by claimants of old
pensions, entries in family Bibles, old
letters and certificates were submit
ted to the laboratory to ascertain, IL
possible, the date of the entry.
In some cases the laboratory was
able to show from the nature of the
ink employed that the writing was
comparatively recent, and that the en-
try had been made for the purpose OF
producing evidence of age in order to
secure the pension.
