TT THE legislative season is dull,
1 the m crop is very large, and
1t has been what might be called a
season of denials in the capitol. Re
Gently whisperings of changes in the
presidents cabinet were afloat, and
they multiplied SO rapidly and as
sumed such distorted shapes that they
led to vigorous denials from the white
house authorities. The two in parti-
cular that were whispered around
were the resignation Of Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh and the eie-
walton of MI. Taft's secretary, Charles
D. Norton, to the place, and the ele-
Walton Of Congressman James A.
Tawney to the position now occupied
by Secretary Of the Interior Richard
A. B%allinger. Both called forth the
most vigorous denials.
Aside from denying runners Presi-
dent Taft's chief work has been along
the lines of the Panama canal zone,
which he intends bringing to the at
tention Of congress very soon. The
president has recommended and is
preparing to urge legislation appro-
priating large sums for the fortifica-
ton of both entrances to the canal
zone, and this in itself will cause a
struggle. In addition there is pend
ing before the senate a bill, already

kT UMEROUS complaints are coming
~ daily to the p%ostofiice department
at Washington caused by the losses
of packages and money. Mails are
easy to rob, but few postal thieves
ever escape detection. They are sure
to be caught and punished in the end.
No thief is harder to catch than are
those who rob the governments mail.
Their methods are skillful and the
plumber is easily hidden or destroyed.
Postofice thieves are not arrested ev.
cry day, although valuable letters and
other articles are stolen almost daily
and an army Of sharp inspectors are
on the watch. Positive proof of guilt
must be in the possession Of the in.
spector before an arrest is made. Cir
cumstantial evidence does not go at
any time. In almost every ase an
arrest means conviction

picion OF theft, to see if he is spending
more money than his salary will al
low.
1t is wonderful that there are as
few thieves among the many thou
sands Of clerks who handle the mails,
for great temptations surround them,
as they handle millions of valuable
parcels. These clerks soon learn to
tell by the very ouch OF a letter
whether it contains money. It would
be an easy matter for the dishonest
clerk to slip letters into his pocket
and open them in some private place.
But the cases of dishonesty are COM
parativeiy few.
There are but two successful ways
to catch a p%ostofflce thief and these
letters. With these and a large sup
ply of patience the game will be
caught. 1t often requires months and
sometimes years to accomplish this.
It is one of the most annoying and
difficult lines Of detective work a man
ever engaged in and requires the most
earnest labor. Not a single thing
must be overlooked.
But few arrests have been made in
Washington where there is a powerful
army OF postoffice employees. They
seldom go wrong. yet inspectors are
no more numerous there than in other
cities.

NOT AS BAD AS 1T SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon-
sible for Wrong impression
Given Divine.

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.
IT'S a hard lingo to understand" he
said. ut often causes awkward mis-
takes.
Once an American divine spent
Christmas in a Highland inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of a sovereign, and he said, look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
DO you know, Kathleen, your are a
very good-looking lassie?'

but, being modest, she blushed like a
ros and answered.:

sir, is beautiful

est Kathleen had been simply praising

charms of her cousin Janet of Pee

Food.

Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery v
serve hot stewed fruit to the children.
Plenty Of stewed fruit and baked ap-
pies they should eat, but they must
invariably be COOKED the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po-
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their Jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss Of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
of the vegetable.

Moreover, there is the question of
canal tolls, which on the recommends
ton of the president, is being worked
out IL 4 bill by Chairman Mann Of the
house committee on Interstate com
me-ce. He is also anxious that the
tolls to be charged be decided on at
this session. so that there will be time
for the worlds commerce to adjust it.

In GREER to embody some Of the
presidents recommendations in he
pending bill Senator Flint has secured
the rcconnlitment of the bill in the
senate. SO that the committees can in
sert such changes as the president
decides. Il is likely that at every
stage Of the legislation bearing On the
canal there will be opposition. The
transcontiIentaI railroads opposed the
canal at the outset, and they are ex-
pected to fight vigorously against tolls
so low as to make the ocean liners
real competitors of the railroads.
On the subject Of fortifying the
canal there has already developed OPP
position, and though both houses "a
be counted on to vote for fortifca-
lions, many long speeches will be
made on the other side either by peace
advocates or by congressman general
ly hostile to the expenditure of money
on the canal. The election of United
states senators by popular vote is
also looming up.

Trifles Cost Much Money

ty-four dozen whisk brooms aggre-
gated $50.
One bag of ground alum salt cost
81; two ounces Of ounce seed, 20
cents; one quart of castor oil, 40
cents; one drahm oil rose, 81, and two
bottles OF s~alhepatica, 80 cents. Two
thousand qutnine pills were bought.
The small items Of the pharmacy and
toilet cost $2l5.47. One pound OF
snuff, to rcDlenish the two boxes Just
within the senate chamber cost so
cents.
When a senator wants to look real
ly dressed up he must have a pair OF
white gloves, and ten dozen Of these,
costing $3.50, is one senatorial ex-
pense item. Some senators like their
Offices TO look nice and coy for old
home visitors, so t~wenty-three velour
sofa pillows figure In the list.
The items in the report, printed in
fine type. cover over more than 700
pages. Any one who has a lurking
suspicion that senators don't imbibe
water freely should glance at the
record Of $1,S34 spent for apollinaris
water. More than $4,000 was expend-
ed for other mineral waters.
A number Of senators drew practi-
cally nothing against their annual al
lowance of $t25 for stationery, and
they are given a refund of the amount.
Others were heavy stationery users,
the amount Of their communication ac-
count being small.

A Lesson for DIPLOMATS,

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
of the John Hay Memorial library at
Brown university, said of John Hay:
His diplomacy was gracious, and
1t was prudent as well. I remember,
In an argument about a certain inter
national complication, how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
1T was the Christmas season, and
he said that We might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents
THE little girl frowned.
Well, she whispered, you needn't
say it SO near the chimney"
