spirit of disloyalty, and II It contains
a studied insult, as you believe and de-
clare. then that disloyalty and that in
suit affects the president of the United
States quite as much as they do the
secretary of the treasury
THAT Is precisely my view Of the
matter, Mr.. President replied. That
is why I have brought this commune
cation to the attention of yourself and
the cabinet do not believe that 1t
is right, nor for the best interests Of
the department, to retain in 1t anyone
who Is so disloyal and so insulting to
the president Of the United States.
So desire to receive from you au-
thority for the prompt and peremptory
removal of this insubordinate Official.
The president looked at me
thoughtfully for perhaps half minute.
and then directed his glance at the
other members of the cabinet, one
after another. So far as / could faith.
ON their opinions with respect to the
situation, they accorded with mine,
and 1t seemed to me that the presi.
dent also reached that conclusion after
he had looked searchingly at each OF
his advisers. At last he spoke:
"'Mr. Secretary he said, slowly, II
It appears to you that this communities
ton involves the president as well as
yourself, I wish you would let me take
IT, / viii read It carefully, and then, II
I find that your opinion of II is justi
fed. think win keep It and forgive

who put 1t upon his desk turned
serenely to other affairs of govern

man who had dared to be insubordi

STONE HAS HISTORY
Movement Begun to Restore
AngIe-Tree Monument.
Ancient Mark on Frontier" Of the
Plymouth and Massachusetts, Bay
Colonies Is in a-stats Of
Neglect.

North Attleboro, Mass.-The presen-
tation Of q bill in the Massachusetts,
legislature providing funds for restor-
ing the Angle Tree monument and for
creating a small reservation about 1t,
directs public attention for the mo-
ment to one of the least known his
torical landmarks in the common
wealth.
Probably not one person in thou
sand In New England can tell what
the Angle Tree monument is. or what
1t stands for, and though IT is In this
town you may meet men on the street
here who never heard of 1t. Yet there
was time when it marked the bound
airy between the two pioneer common
wealths Of America, the Plymouth and
Massachusetts, Bay colonies.
Here stood two centuries ago tree
that the surveyors of the original
Plymouth Massachusetts Bay bound
airy in 1864 thought good mark for a
station" In their line of survey. At
1t, therefore, they ended a long,
straight line they had drawn across
what is now Southeastern Massachu-
sets. from Accord pond, at point in
the boundaries of the towns Of Hing
ham, Norwell and Rockland. The pond
doubtless was named to commemorate
an agreement on the boundary.
The line was 27.35 miles long, from
the pond to the angle tree, and its di.
rection was west, 20.5 degrees south.
From the tree 1t extended due west
less than a mile to the Rhode Island
border. From the pond its eastern
continuation was to the sea, along the
boundary between the towns Of Co
hasset and Scituate. Here was the
frontier" of Plymouth colony.
The tree selected as mark by the
surveyors in 1864, after their long and
slow march through swamp and forest
must have been conspicuous among

Ancient church customs,

Glasgow, Scotiand.-In the age OF
witchcraft and superstition it was be-
lieyed that the fairies built the old
kinks In Glasgow and that they had a
right to them; so said w. B. Peterson,
lecturing before the Old Glasgow club
The accommodation Afforded the par
sshioners was very different from the
present luxurious age There were
no pews in Scottish kinks before the
reign Of Charles I. The people had to
bring their stools with them. and those
that did not do this simply sat down
on the door. For the evening service
practitioners likewise brought candle

HABITS.

Regularity and temperance in all things
are necessary for the maintt nance of
good resistance in the strong, and doubly
so in persons predisposed to tuberculosis.
Moderate dissipation may arouse latent
infection into activity. Temporary ex-
haustion from exercises of any kind is
readily overlooked until breakdown
occurs. Constant warnings are necessary
especially to those who are inclined to
inbibe TOO freely in alcoholics, which in
themselves are extremely harmful, and
we must take into account the exposure
incident to drinking intoxicants. Proper
dress, proper eating, and plenty of fresh
air day and night should be insisted on
under all circumstances.

Suppose the State Horticultural So

lures and addresses, and sees the cx'
hibits will undoubtedly find that lie
has received, not only $25 but hun
dreds of dollars, in the knowledge
impaired to him which he only needs
to apply in a practical way on his
own farm to realize the cash.

raises and ships more peaches than
any other man in the world, and
who has been raising peaches and
apples since 1869, will give those who

est number of bushels from the acre
while conserving the land for other
crops.
Then, there is man from the
Hood River Valley who will lecture.

matters that enter into practical life
and work of the farmer.
During every minute OF the expo
sition which begins on December 4
and ends December 8, there will he
something new to instruct, entertain
and amuse. Aside from the exhibits,
which will be the largest and best
ever shown in a similar exhibition in
Maryland, after the serious business
of the meetings during the day, there
will be entertainments at night, every
night.
President Taft has promised to be
at the exposition, and many distin-
guished personages connected with
the national government at Wash
