able to the country. He was member
of Congress from Pennsylvania from 1875
to 1901. During his three terms he be-
came one Of the leaders of his party.
From 1901 until 1914 he was the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. One Of his most
notable accomplishments in this capacity
was the establishment of the Committee,
of Ways and Means. During his incum-
bency, the public debt which was more
than $s6,000,000 in 1902, was reduced to
less than s46,00e.O0o.
Mr.. Gallatin was prominent in the Ne
gotiation of the Treaty of Client in 1914.
He was also Minister to France from
1916 to 1923, and to England in 1926 and
1927. Upon his return he became Presi-
dent Of the National Bank Of New York.
One of his great achievements was the
procuring of a loan Of $16,000,000 during
the War of 1912. The greater part of
this was made by three of his personal
friends. Daniel Parish and Stephen Girard.
of Philadelphia. and John Jacob Astor, Of
New York.

he knew that black cat would bring him
bad luck as soon as he saw It.
Il stood and watched a crowd the other

that ladder a wide berth. because It's an

Such an example ought to encourage
long distance piano marathons In our ma

for the other tenants and might tend to
promote the uplift generally.
I'm fact, in most localities where these
pleasant little piano matches are held the
contest results in the immediate raising

piano marathons would also encourage
long distance endurance trials on other
pleasing household instruments, such ~
the piccolo, the saxophone or the B fiat

A Generals Last Order.

It is over a hundred years since Gen.
eral Mallet was shot for conspiracy
against Napoleon. The circumstances
Of his death told by Mr.. G. Duval in
"Shadows of Old Paris'') were curious.
He had asked that In consideration Of
his past services to the nation he
might give the command to fire to the
soldiers who were to execute him. AS
they lifted their muskets to take aim
the generals practiced eye discovered
q want of unison in their movements,
which he reproved. ordering them to
repeat It properly, and with the word
:F1re!' on his lips he fell. pierced by
the bullets Of twenty muskets."
