WHEN SHAW WAS SECRETARY
Statesman Preferred Lunch Of Apples
In His Room to Dinner In
Hotel Restaurant.

Leslie NJ Shaw, formerly secretary
of the treasury, is in Washington for
a few days visiting his old friends at
the capitol and in the departments.
Shaw" said a cabinet officer, was
one of the mysteries of the Roosevelt
administration. From the time he be-
came secretary of the treasury until
he went into the banking business we
were unable to decide whether he was
q second Russell Sage in the matter
of personal expenditures. | ran across
Shaw in q big western city, and for
the sake Of spending a pleasant eve
ming together we got a suite of rooms
at the same hotel
At lunch time I proposed that we
go down to the dining room, but Mr..
Shaw could not be induced He said
he thought he would eat in his room.
Thereupon the secretary of the treas
ury> opened up his travelling bag and
extracted couple of apples. He Of
fered me. one, but I declined and
fastened to the restaurant.
Cabinet officers who served with
Shaw discovered chat it was regular
habit with him to fill his bag with APP

HUNTING WITH A STEER

ey Fl a
Farmers in a number of counties 1y-
ing on both sides OF the Sacramento
river, in the central portion of Call.
fornia, are frequently much harassed
during the winter by the depredations
Of countless focks of wild geese that
swarm over the broad grain fields and
destroy the young, sprouting grain
stalks. So serious are these annual
lnvasions that many Of the farms
have employees who regularly patrol
the fields and do nothing else but
keep the feathered pests on the wing.
One Of the most novel blinds or
stalkers ever used in that section, or
and other, for the purpose of Destroy
ing the geese, is that OF an ingenious
farmer of Colusa, who lives on the
bank of the Sacramento. He employs
a big red steer trained to stalk geese.
The steer walks round a flock of geese
in an ever-decreasing circle, his mas
ter, armed with repeating shotgun,
walking beside him, but on the fur
Their side from the flock. The geese
have become used to seeing animals
grazing near that they pay no atten:
ton to them, SO that the farmer is en-
abled to get within shotgun distance
and pour broadside into the flock
while it is feeding on the ground and
two more shots before the birds are
out Of range when they rise.

FEARED THE scREEcH OWL
Woman Was Not superstitious, but
She Cut Short Her Visit to
the Country.

I'm not bit superstitious, not in
the least bit, butt don't ever want to
hear another screech owl in the
night" said a woman who remained
in the country until the holidays
"PossitiVely, believe / should go mad
if ever heard that blood-curdling
sound again.
You know they say in the country
that If a sereech owl comes crying
around the house it's a sure sign of
death OF course, I've no faith in
that sort of nonsense, but all the same
the coaehman's mother died after the
owls first appearance.
The owl came back and one of the
employees died. 1t came back again
and decided that, after all, didn't
want to spend Christmas in the coun-
try and lighted back to town. The
coachman said something about the
old rule and / just naturally packed
up my buds and bought a ticket for
New York.
"Ugh-h-h! | SILVER now whenever
think of that owl in the apple tree
