One Indispensable Man ASSISTANT SECRETARY AOEE, UNIQUE FIGURE AT WASH
 BY HIMSELF


Hay. and with a twinkle in his eve. said Well, Mir. Secretary. under the circumstances, if l were the lady, | should become desperately i'll and indefinitely postpone the dinner.
 The following incident occurred al one of the clubs in Washington some years ago. when one of the foreign ambassadors and Adee met Both were just recovering from the grippe.
 An. how do you feel MT. Ambas- sad r?" inquired Adee.
 Most awfully stupid and worn, don't you know. Mr. Secretary. l am so exhausted from my long illness that | can hardly drag one foot after the other
 Ad,e shook his head. and then, hrightaning up. suggested: Yes. true: but don't you know. under the circumstances yCu should be glad you are not a centipede?
 Gaillard Hunt. who served in the state department with Adee, tells this story: Some years ago a certain under official in the state depart ment went to the secretary of state, James G. Blaine. and asked him 10 appoint him to d vacancy among the assistant secretaries.
 Why" said Blaine. it would not he doing ylu a kindness: you would lose the place when the administra- ton changed"
 Why so?" said the applicant. Look at Adee."
 We'll" said Blaine slowly, "Adee is -Adee"
 Volumes could not have said more. He stands in a class by himself, without prototype or understudy.
 Adee is the second man of his type wh1 has had service in the state department al Washington. Ills precursor was William Hunter of Rhode Island. who secured clerk ship in the department in 1929, was promoted 10 be a chief of bureau Tn 1893. and became chief clerk in lS32. at time when Daniel Webster was secretary of state. Because there were no assistant secretaries ih those days. Hunter was sometimes called upon to act as head of the depart ment The office of second assist ant secretary was expressly created for him in 1866. He held 1t for 2D wears. until his death in 1886, when } Adee succeeded him. Thus it comes about that in the entire history Of our government only two men have . served as second assistant secre- tary of state. It would be. perhaps, impossible to find a parallel to that afforded by these two men in any other department of the government , Adee k as prized and permanent possession Df rhe federal govern ment as Is the great seal of state = which his department is charged with keeping.

BUSINESS PROSE
 POEMS

Another volume of prose p~ems by Walt Mason. the busics- poet in America has just mace it's appear ance. II is c0llecu0n of "Busi- ness Prose-Pcems." gay sou&a of the changing mart and of the captains. iieutenants and corporals of indus try,
 A feature ef the vQ'Qme is all in troduotion by George Adc, in which
 he gives his estima5e Of the fat bard of Emporia. Ade says:
 An eminent dramatist said quite recently that success ill play writing is the visHalizng of something that is already in the mind of the public.
 In other words. people like to be told what they already know.
 Hence the enduring popularity of Walt Mason.
 He says for thousands Of people, in plain bedrock YehacHla". the very
 things they have been wanting t0
 say. consequently every reader when he concludes one of these poems, in which the music is concealed as artfully as in the new style of talk ing machine, says with sigh Of satisfaction: That's the gospel
 truth and well put. and l was about to say the same thing when he in
 terrupted me"
 Walt Mason is the high priest Of horse sense, and also he is a liter
 ary workman. The combination is unusual, and therefore his output is
 essentially different It is what we
 call high grade stuff. The volume is dedicated to Wit jam Allen White with this verse: l This little bale of business rhymes
 And knocks and boosts and kindred crimes
 Is handed. as a token Of gratitude; he helped me stick
 On Pegasus through thin and thick, And watched the critter buck and kick
 Until l had 1t broken.
 Some of the gaily philosophical
 poems contained in the volume fol- low:

DETERMINED TO MARRY
DESPITE ALL OBSTACLES.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 16.-De
termined to wed despite all obstacles,
Emmett R Solomon and Miss Lucille
Bonnette, both of Alexandria, La,
slipped away to New Orleans and were
married yesterday. The bride dis
played a big six shooter after the
ceremony and explained that she was
prepared to use it had any one tried
again to stop the wedding. It was
their third attempt to elope within
the past week, and both heaved signs
of relief when the ceremony was over.
They made their rrst attempt last
Wednesday in an automobile, but the
machine broke down shortly after
they got under way. The next day they
got as far as the minister's, when
young Solomon was arrested on
charges of bigan1y and abduction, pre-
ferred by the girls father. He was
later released under bond but the irate
father, determined to prevent the
elopement, locked the girl in her
room.
During the night the girl slipped
out of the window and met her lover.
They came to New Orleans and were
married at noon yesterday at the
Gretna courthouse just across the
river. Last night the couple left for
Alexandria to ask forgiveness.

10000 WOMEN TO MARCH.
~suffragists From Many States Will
Parade at Inauguration.

For the first time in the history of
the United States marching women
will form a large section Of the inau-
gural parade next March. Woodrow
Wilson will be accompanied by an am
azonian bodyguard Of suffragettes.
The Suffrage Association of the Dis
trict Of Columbia has voted to request
the inaugural committee to give them
a place in the parade, and the, women
have received private assurances that
their request will be granted. Ten
thousand women, they estimate, will
answer the appeal.
1--WE anticipate that our section Of
the parade will arouse more interest
than any other" said Miss Emma Gil
lette, the recording secretary, 'for 1t
will have the advantage Of complete
novelty as an inaugural feature. We
will not march as Democrats, but as
women voters and women who desire
to become voters. Pennsylvania is ex-
pccted to send a large contingent. And
you may depend upon 1t that the suf-
frage section viii be a creditabie part
of the parade"
