WHEN SHAW WAS SECRETARY
In His Room TO Dinner In
Hotel Restaurant.

Leslie M. 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 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 big western city, and for
the sake of spending a pleasant eve
ming together we got suite of rooms
at the same hotel.
fAt 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 / 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 ap-
pies before starting on journey. =

Weep, for the Years have scattered into
Flight
The Hair that once thy Head bedecked
Alright;
And bare as any Egg thy poll now
Unless with Hat or wig, it's hid from
sight.
All, needless Youth! Thy Hair thou
mightst retain
Didst thou but watch lest 1t begin to
Wane.
But wait until the day 1t says Good Bye
And all thy Frantic Effort shall be vain.
Some say that vanished Hair we may re-
new,
But nonetheless in spite of All we do
We cannot coax a Strand to sprout or
stay
Although we'd fain have Hair of any Hue.
The Locks and Cowlicks go, and when
they fit
They're gone. Nor Tonic. Hope nor Faith
nor Wit
Can call them back nor coax the rest to
cling
They're gone forever. That's the End
Of it.

The list is much too Long for me to tell.
/ often wonder what the BARRIERS buy
One-half so Useless as the things they
SELL.
Sometimes jest tits only my High Brow,
But I'd use all the Stuff they might allow
To grow Wilderness of flowing Hair
That Wilderness were Paradise enow.

A Woman,s Letter.

the reason for this superiority. The

gshe employs a glance or smile, In
way that is carefully thought out, and

does a. woman's hat serve to cover

honest grocer, who writes, I send you
five pounds of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds OF
