that farm II l had a wife," Watts told
Smell. To sell il under such conditions
was easy. The former minister had an
engaging way with him. He knew wo-
mankind from all the educative angles
the associations OF ministers afford,
and so it was no trouble for him to
find a sweetheart for Watts; to urge
the merits Of each upon the other, and
to bring about their speedy engage
ment. And then he stepped back into
his clericals long enough to marry
them himself. II is not told whether
he asked the customary fee, but one so
sharp would not overlook such a finan-
cial transaction.
Smell has found his vocation, just as
many another misfitted man could if
he took the step. The world Is full OF
opportunities TO the fellow who can
see them. 1t doesn't require such won
derful vision, either.
To be on the spot counts much.

The Wilson's in the White House

four years, at least, will preside over
the White house, in whom a healthy
majority of public interest is centered
on that afternoon.
1t is a wonderful drive from the
capitol to the White house for the
lucky woman who takes the second
seat in the first carriage-made va
cant by the withdrawal of the Outgo-
ing president 1t means TO some the
contamination of a life wish, almost
too glorious to be true, while to 9th
ers it is but another and almost unbe-
lievable surprise which has come to
her through the absolute worth of her
husband TO the men who believe in
honesty, hard work and conscientious
living. The new president, of course,
is about as important a person in life
as any ambitious boy in his school
days could ever hope TO be. But his
wife stands out to the many millions
of women-those crying for votes and
those who do not want them-as a
figure conspicuous among the few of
their own kind who had the good luck
to pick a future president for a hus-
band.

Isabel Joyce in the December National
Monthly
When the spirited horses which will
draw the presidential carriage on
March Attn, are guided into the grace
full and winding roadway leading to the
White house, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
will be brought face 10 face with the
of her exalted position as
the first lady of the land; and how
she will share equally with her hus-
band in the responsibilities which will
on that day become theirs.
This feature of the presidential pro-
cession is as old as the procession it.
self. yet with each recurring inaugur-
alton of a new executive the thrill is
repeated in the hearts of the thous-
ands of people who congregate near
the White house and, if the truth were
known, the interest of the public at
that moment is more centered in the
new presidents wife than in the head
of the nation. For months the reading
pubic has seen his pictures in the
newspapers and many of the them
have heard and seen the man. But

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

In the frs, six months in the present
year the number OF births in France
fell off about 1000. compared with the
corresponding period Of 1911. Yet. in
stead OF an excess Of deaths amount
ing 10 more than $4,000 In the first half
Of last year, there was a gain of 14.l72
the FIRST six months OF 1912
This change was brought about by a
decrease Of 39.C43 in the number OF
deaths. So that, taking no account of
emigration or immigration. a loss in
population in the first half OF 1911 was
converted into a small but encouraging
gain by the marked lowering Of the
mortality rate.
What France is accomplishing is a
change common to all advanced coun-
tries. Everywhere the lowering OF the
birth rate is Offset, in greater or less
degree. by 4 falling death rate. and
there Is room for still greater improve
ment along these lines The saving Of
life is better than a rising birth rate.
II means a vast decrease in pain and
suffering and losses OF many kinds.
n the French death rate could be cut
down TO the level maintained in Hol-
land, the present birth rate. which is
the lowest in the civilized world. would
give the French nation a gain Of at
least 100000 annually. aside from the
slow growth which has always taken
place through immigration from Swift
erland. Italy and Belgium.
In the future human life will be much
better guarded than II ever has been in
any part OF the world. Science and
government and the humane instincts
which are cons antly manifesting new
force will unite to lessen the frightful
waste OF infant life especially and of
the workers who perish because OF the
dangers OF their occupations.

There are sandwiches and sand
viches. One has only to call to mind
travelling on a train without a dining
car and hearing the brakeman call
out at the station as the train stopped,
Twenty minutes for lunch" (Which
usually means five). One rushes in
to the lunch counter-"A ham sand
wich, please" Can you see that sand
wich? A thick biscuit cut in halves,
No butter and a slice of ham. 1t is like
biting over a stone wall to get a
taste. Then the thought comes to
mind of those delicious sandwiches
made at home and how you wished
you had one. 1t pays to make dainty,
tasty sandwich, as there is no dish
which can be served, if well made,
that will appeal to more people, men,
women and children, than sandwiches
AS a rule the bread should be from
1o 10 "a hours old, cut thin and some.
times toasted on one side. Never melt
or warm the butter, but beat to cream
as for cake making. Spread this on
the loaf, which has been previously
trimmed of all crusts (these may be
used for puddings).
The filings may be made from all
meats, most vegetables, cheese, eggs
and fish, with mayonnaise.
Combinations-Seas corn beef OIL
chopped ham with mustard; roast beef
or boiled tongue with Worcestershire
sauce or horse radish; lamb with cap
ers. tomato sauce, catsup or chopped
mint, and chicken or veal with celery
salt or chopped red or green peppers
These are only a few of the com
binations for sandwiches. If lettuce
is used with the filling, use leaf let
tuce and cut in shreds with the kitchen
shears-very pretty with the greer
showing and much easier to eat. Wa
ter cress, chopped, or the leaves useC
plain, adds much to the flavor of {
plain bread and butter sandwich.

MOTHERS OF PRESIDENTS.

In only one respect can Virginia
still be properly called the mother of
presidents-only as to the number of
years Virginians occupied the execu-
tive ONCE, not as to the number of
residents of Virginia elected to the
presidency or succeeding to the pres
idency.
Since the beginning of the govern
ment, presidents have been taken
from only 10 states-Virginia, Mas
sachusetts, Tennessee, New York,
Ohio, Louisiana, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana.
There have been FIVE from Virginia
Washington, jefferson, Madison,
Monroe and Tyler
There have been FIVE from New
Workman Buren,. Fillmore, Arthur,
Cleveland and Roosevelt
There have been five from Ohio
William Henry Harrison, Hayes, Gar.
field, Mckinley and Taft.
There have been three from Ten
essee-Jackson, Polk and Johnson;
two from INSTRUMENTATION Ad-
ans; two from Illinois-Lincoln and

Still more remarkable is the fact
that at the end of President Taft's
