How les Secret Documents Are Pro-
tected and Printed.
Each member Of the cabinet is sup
piled with key which fits the lock Of
certain dispatch box retained by the
prime minister. At any particular
crisis, when important papers reach
Downing street, the premier, after
perusing them, places them in the dis
patch box and hands the box to spe-
cial messenger, who takes It round to
each member Of the cabinet In success
sion. Each member opens it with his
key and relocks 1t after he has read
the documents 1t contains. In this
way the papers are prevented from
falling into the hands of strangers or
members of parliament who are not In
the cabinet.
Now and again it is found necessary
to print copies Of secret which
comes up for discussion at meeting
OF the cabinet The document Is cut
up into many small pieces and dis
tributed among goodly number Of
compositors in the government print
ing works, each of whom sets up his
little piece, and the little piece may
represent only dozen. lines Of tyne.
When all the fragments are In type a
highly trusted official collects both the
copy and the type and puts the latter
together The printing Of the docu-
ment is then done in secret under the
eyes Of this official, and the men who
work the printing machine are for
hidden to handle any Of the paper after
1t is printed upon.-National Magazine.

] NAMES AND FACES.


Douglas Marked the Men He Wanted
to Know Again.
stephen A. Douglas had the most
remarkable memory for faces Of any
imam in public life," declares CORE
lspondent. Upon the occasion OF q
visit to Washington on election day in
1880 the late Colonel John w. Forney
was discussing the election Of Garfield
over Hancock with Colonel Harmon Of
Detroit. Colonel Harmon had been
mayor of Detroit and prominent in ma
tional politics.. Harmon and Forney
got to talking about earlier politics,
and Harmon related the story Of a
meeting with Douglas in New York.
Douglas had been nominated in Balti-
more by one faction Of the Democratic
party. Breckinridge was chosen by
the other faction In Charleston. When
he heard Of his nomination Douglas
Twas in New York. He entered the
Astor House, then the Headquarters
for all politicians and the principal
hotel In New York, and Immediately
was surrounded by his political admir-
ers. Among them was Colonel Har-
mon. The latter. according to the
story he told me, put forth his hand
and congratulated Douglas ON his nom
ination.
THANK you. Colonel Harmon re-
piled Douglas.
Harmon was amazed that Douglas
should have remembered his name, for
he had met the little giant but once,
fifteen years before, and then for but
brief period. After time he return
ed and asked Douglas how he was
able to call him by name.
My dear colonel said Douglas,
whenever l meet man want to
know again put mark on him and
! never forget Washington Post.

Tucumcari. n. NJ, March 22.-M. ].
Duffy, formerly OF San Francisco, has
been stationed at this point by the
government immigration service to
take the place Of DR.. Elliot, who has
been transferred to San Francisco.
Three government meg are now at this
place.
A light rain fell here yesterday, the

the spring blowing has been done and
a good rain at this time would do much

1t is said that the ministerial union
is contemplating the extending OF the

for missionary purposes. are supported

lis a bit of recognized territory, and the
term has become classic.
At the time it was named there had
been a rush for land in the Indian
territory and the reservation which was
being opened up was known as the
Cherokee strip. That is how the Cher
okee strip" in congress got its name.
Even the dignified senate accepted 1t
as a designation for the location Of
number of Republican senator's, who
were obliged to take seats on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber.
For the first time in Is years it IS
to be abolished in the senate, because
in the incoming senate, the membership
will be more nearly even in its political
division than at any session during that
time. There will be 80 Republicans,
counting insurgents, in the senate which
assemblies on April 4. and AZ Demo
33 Democrats and SO Republicans. So
hereafter all of the Republicans, with
the exception Of senator LaFOllette,
will move over and sit on the Republican
side. He will remain on the Democratic
side, where he has been throughout his
entire six years service in the senate.
The retirement of senator Aldrich and
senator Hale afforded two Republicans
good seats. Senator Burton acquired
the seat long held by senator Aldrich,
and senator Root fell heir to the one
occupied by senator Hale Both are in
the ceIfter of the Republican side.
In the house the recent landslide has
carried the Cherokee strip" from the
Democratic to the Republican side, and
it will be necessary for some 80 or 40
Democrats OF the incoming house to
occupy seats among the minority, and
as there are so many new ones coming
in, it will be extremely difficult to dis
tingaIish between Republican. and an
occupant of a seat on the Cherokee
strip" Some ingenious member has sug
gested that they be labelled.

SENATE TO LOSE
CHEROKEE STRIP
Bit of Congressional Terri
tory Gives Way to Dem
Onrafic Increase

Washington, D. c., March 22.-That
fertile bit of congressional territory.
popularity known as the Cherokee Strip
is to disappear, temporarily at least, so
far as the United States senate IS con-
cerned 1t will remain nothing but
mere spot, and senator DaEOllette, OF
Wisconsin, is to occupy that spot. The
great political landslide which occurred
last November has practically annihi-
lated it, OF if not that, then it has been
made uninhabitable for members of the
senate who profess the Republican faith.
The name of the Cherokee strip had
its origin in the house OF representatives
20 years ago 1t was one of the witt
cisns of "Sockless Jerry" Simpson, the
Populist from Kansas, and Jerry was as
bright and witty as any man who ever
sat in that body, not even excepting
Private John Allen, who for many years
held the distinction of being the wit of
the house. HumOr exuded from the
that was Jerry's home town, and his
merry quips struck home. and scored for
him in many a verbal combat while he
was a member of congress.
It was In the SD congress that Simp-
son coined the term Cherokee Strip"
That was the congress where the Demo
Gratis outnumbered the Republicans in
the proportion OF two to one IN the
house, and generally the pops" sided
and voted with the Democrats. When,
in the drawing of lots for seats in the
house, which is one of the features of
the opening day of each new congress,
all of the seats on the Democratic side
were taken, it became necessary for the
Democrats whose names were called to
ward the last, to select places on the
Republican side of the chamber. They
-empted a section on the minority
side, and this Jerry Simpson character
lied as the Cherokee Strin " and thus
it has ever since been known, and prob
ably will continue TO be known as long
as there is a congress. although Jerry
Simpson has been dead for five years.
Sometimes 1t has shifted from one side
of the house to the other, but wher-
ever a. number of members of the ma
jority have been obliged to take seats
on the minority side. that location has
been known as the Cherokee Strip" 1t

wv 2 HEN Evan Blount opened his
AEN eyes on the morning follow
w ing the night of singular ad-
ventures the sun was shin
ing brightly in at the beds head win
dow, a cheerful fire was cracking on
the hearth. and his father, a little
heavier, little grayer, but with the
same rugged face and kindly eyes,
was standing at his bedside.
Evan, boyp' and Father were
the only words Of greeting. but the
mighty hand grip that went with them
was for Evan a>renewal of his boy
hood and sufficient promise for the
future. g
Followed instantly a rush of mingled
emotions; Of astoundment that he had
recognized no familiar landmark In
the midnight faring through the hills
Or on the approach to the home of his
.lood; Of something like a keen
regret that the old had given place so
thoroughly and completely to the new;
Of something bordering on chagrin
that he had been surprised into ac-
cepting the hospitable advances of a
woman whom he had been intending
to avoid and for whom he had cher
ished-and meant to cherish-a con-
temptuous disregard
But at the hand gripping moment
there was no time for nice weighing
Of emotions. He was in his fathers
house, the homecoming, some phases
of which he had vaguely dreaded, was
a fact accomplished, and the new life
the life that was to be lived without
Patricia-was fairly begun. Also there
were arrears to be brought up.
