Uncle Joe's Check.

Col. Henry Casson. sergeant-at-arms

the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon a few years ago to
a book agent. and about which an in
teresting story has been told.
An agent visited the speaker and in
terested him In an elaborate edition OF
something which Uncle Joe didn t
want, but bought. When the books
arrived Uncle Joe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-
termined to make him indorse a terse
sentiment on books. SO he wrote out a
check for s73. the amount due. and on
the back Of 1t he inscribed:
Pay 10 the order of Mr.. Blank, in
full payment for an edition which was
not worth d. and dear at that
price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put It over your Uncle Joe

children OF an age that entitled them
to be classed as young people In the
households OF Uncle Sans bestpaid
servants. II there were Junior mem
bers of such households, they were
for the most part grandchildren or
cousins or nephews and nieces. The
result Of this state Of affairs was that
the juveniles, neither collectively nor
individually, were much Of factor
in the social, activities Of oficialdom,
and very few of the entertainments
in this sphere were planned espe-
cially for the benefit Of the younger
contingent of the community.
But, as has been said. the past half
score Of years has seen gradual
change Of conditions that has made
the Juveniles and the unmarried
young men and young women an ele-
ment to be reckoned with. The ex-
PLANTATION Of the new state of affairs
is to be found, Of course. in the cap
ture by younger men Of large
proportion of the most exalted posi-
tions in the executive, legislative and
judicial branches Of the government.
No longer need a public man be a
grandfather ere he is deemed to have
arrived at the years OF discretion nee
essary to warrant the nation in en-
trusting its most momentous affairs
to him. Something Of this same
leaning in favor of younger men has
even been manifested on the part OF
many OF the leading foreign govern
ments that send ENJOYS to act as ac-
credited resident representatives at
Washington.

Of young blood In our governing cir
