ShiIIaIah Still Useful.

The shillalah, which showed at
Louth that it has not entirely lost its
old Importance as a factor In deciding
elections, is no raw limb of a tree.
1t is almost as much a work Of art as
q well balanced cricket bat. The old
shlllalahs were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as Is a
rifle in the wilds. Cut from the stur-
diest of young blackthorns, and show
ing as little taper as an ebony ruler,
1t was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip, SO that it's
center Of gravity was about four
f1fths Of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the farm
oven for a few months, it became a
thing Of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation Of the name Of this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
of 'shill-ally," with the accent on the
"all. London Chronicle.

Very Vivid,

In descriptive writing" said VIII
1iam Dean Howells, at a dinner at the
Authors club in New York, "a vivid
phrase is always better than a half
dozen paragraphs.
The vivid phrase is what every
writer should seek. A phrase, mean,
something like that of the baby that
shouted to it's mother:
oh, mamma, tum an see the man
a-buttering bricks!'"

ny WILLIS j. ABBOT.

WaSh1ngton.-Was hington was much
Interested in the coming to the
capital Of the new Secretary of
the Interior, Mr.. Walter L. Fisher Of
Chicago, whose whole life has been
spent in reforming matters like
primaries, elections, corrupt councils
and the like. But 1t was more inter
ested in the manner of his appoint
ment and its political significance.
No governmental secret was ever
more carefully guarded than the
standing resignation of Ballinger-
unless it was the identity of his sue
cessor, with whom negotiations were
evidently pending for weeks. But
what chiefly entertains the politicians
Is the tenor Of the correspondence be-
tween President Taft and the outgo-
Ing secretary. Nobody could have
been bowed out Of the door with more
fulsome fiattery and high expressions
of regard than was Ballinger-but
when the door re-opened it was to
admit man exactly opposite to him
in type, the bosom friend and the de-
voted idolator Of his enemy, Clifford
Pinchot.
The Taft correspondence and the
Fisher appointment could only be
adequately satirized by Mr. Dooley,
but a cynical ongressman-Demo-
crat, of course-did not do so badly
when he summed it up to me thus:
AS a Cynic Sees the Matter.
"Taft's letter reduced to it's lowest
terms, and rewritten in the light Of
the subsequent appointment, might
be paraphrased this way:
My Dear Secretary: Never have
[ had In my cabinet a more earnest,
patriotic, unselfish and unbiased Of
ing qualities I have the highest ad-
miration and esteem. You were the
victim of a scoundrelly combination
of politicians and publications bent,
for their own selfish purposes, upon
bounding you out of public life. Your
course has had my entire approval
and your present plight my sincerest
sympathy. For these cogent reasons
have determined to appoint as your
successor a gentleman who disap-
proves Of all you have done, and who
is further a trusted ally of Mr.. Pin
chot who fomented the plot have so
righteously denounced"
My friends somewhat cynical COM
ment on the Fisher appointment did
not much overstate the case, as any
one who read the Ballinger letter and
the accounts telegraphed from Chi
cago concerning the intimate rela-
tons between the new secretary and
the recent chief forester can under
stand. He did not stop to discuss the
presidential politics involved, but
these are the days when the expert
enced Washingtonian judges every
public act by it's bearing on the next
presidential campaign.

OISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags Of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is pride for any
boy OF his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

Always Politics.

Amid the bray of the trumpet. the
roll Of the drum, the thunder of the
captains and the shouting that fill the
newspaper columns in these days of
the invasion of Mexico, WASHINGTON
still talks politics. Just now there
Is a feeling that despite the clever
politics of the last half of the Taft
administration there will be three big
tickets in the field in 1912. Taft can
renominate himself, of course-any
president with the southern Office
holders at his disposal can do that.
But already such thick and thin de-
votees of Rooseveltism as Golfers
and the Kansas City Star are de-
nouncing him as a reactionary and
demanding a progressive Republican
candidate. Senator Jonathan Bourne's
political activities in this direction are
bearing plenty Of fruit-whether it
will ever ripen is the question. Taft
will find it hard to get Republican
delegates from California, Washing
on, Oregon, the Dakotas, Kansas and
Wisconsin if LaFollette should enter
he race, as undoubtedly he will.
,hould the administration, succeed in
his preliminary task the president

Playing Politics.

Ballinger is extremely popular on
the Pacific coast and that northern
tier Of states through which run the
Jim" Hill roads. Taft will need both
delegates and electoral votes from
that section. The. Ballinger letter
will help.
Pinchot is idolized in the east, and
peculiarly popular in those states in
which there are left no forests to con-
serve. The appointment of his Chi
cago disciple will aid in getting dele
gates there. More than that, 1t will
help to avert the shadow ever loom
ing larger on the presidents horizon
Of Roosevelt a potential candidate,
and Pinchot possible one.
AS longtime resident of Chicago
am familiar with Mr.. Fishers earn
est and effective municipal work and
his admirable character. But l would
advise his friends not to proceed on
the theory that his appointment was
based on the question Of personal fit
ness alone.
