35 secretaries are kept employed.
The president OF the United States
receives nearly 1000 letters daily and

The kaiser's mail consists OF 1000
letters and frequently the same num-

books
The czar is not overworked in this
respect for a sovereign, his majesty's g

Every once In a while new cam
paign story yet bobs up in Washing

member OF congress. who did his best
to make his district go Repub, lean. but
who cannot point to any particular
bowling success in that regard. AT
one town in his district he WAS 10 di-
vide his time with local spellbinder.
The local man spoke first, and was to
have kept going for half an hour, but
he made 1t an hour and hall When
he got through he made an apology for
encroaching on Coles time.
1T reminds me-" Cole said. as he
faced his audience, "of what l once
heard in a courtroom. The defendant
had been found guilty OF a criminal
charge. The Judge sentenced him to
Is years Have you anything to say?'
demanded the court Of the prisoner.
Nothing but this was the reply. I
think you're mighty damned liberal

Then Cole turned loose and coaxed

their coachmen with cockades are
probably ignorant Of the fact that from
a European standpoint the cockade 10
only used to show that the wearer is a
servant of royalty. Across the water
the cockade can be legally worn only
by servants of royalty, including naval
and military officers. diplomatists, lieu.
tenants, deputy neutenants and high
sherifYs Of counties. As worn by these,
the color Is black. The black cockade
was introduced in England by the
house of Hanover. although previous
thereto 1t had been worn In various
colors. A scarlet cockade was In
vogue during the time OF Charles I.
His son adopted white. the badge of
the Jaccbites. while orange was the
color of William Of Orange. Orange
remains the color in the Netherlands.
Black and white Is the color in Ger

which put my picture little out OF
focus.-Ernest Thompson Seton in
