WESTERN SENATORS
WANT WESTERN
SECRETARY
LIST OF CANDIDATES FOR IN
TERROR PORTFOLIO WILL BE
SENT TO WILSON.

Washington, Jan. 14.-As the result
of a conference held today by a num-
Der of western democratic senators, 4
letter soon will be forwarded to Presi~
dent-elect Wilson. urging the selection
of a far-western man for secretary OF
the interior.
The meeting was called as a result
of representations of western senator's
who have called on Governor Wilson.
They state that he has indicated a
preference for a man from the middle
west for this position, on the ground
that he would be more conservative
on questions Of conservation of nat
ural than would a nan from
either the far west or the far east.
Rocky Mountain and Pacific coas
senators make the point that men of
the middle west are just as badly in
formed regarding the welfare of the
public land states as are those of the
extreme eastern states. They point
out that the interior department would
be called on to deal with public lands
and Indian affairs, and contend tina,
only western men understand them.
There are candidates for the office
from almost all of the far western
states, and the letter will mention sew
eral names. saying, however, hat the
selection of either one of the mer
mentioned would be satisfactory Il

Paris, Jan. 14.-Paul Des Chanel,
the chamber of deputies, declared him
self tonight as a candidate for the
presidency of the republic. The other
candidates who have been announced
formally are Premier Raymond Poin-
caire and former Premier Felix Ribot,

A Row.
AS if seeking to answer the critics
that have been accusing him of reac-
tionary tendencies, M. Des Chanel, in
his inaugural address, in which he
lauded the achievements of the par
lament in the last three years, urged
Frenchmen to go on improving the
parliamentary system, but to be care
full not to demolish it, for, he said,
Personal power has cost France too
dearly in the past"
This allusion to the monarchy and
the empire brought Deputy Delahaye,
a conservative, to his feet shouting:
Not So dearly as the republic
A tumult broke out in the chamber,
but M. Des chanel raised his voice
above the din, saying: Yes, it has
cost us too dearly ever to tempt us
to begin over again."
Great applause from the benches of
the majority greeted this remark.
After declaring hat Frances work

WHAT A COINCIDENCE!
Story of an Old Mans Hat, an
Adopted Son, and a School
Teacher.
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH sHER-
WIN

A neatly apparelled girl walking
slowly and sadly down a shady street
IN Creston. Ahead of ner a wizened,
bent old man was picking his careful
way where the pavement was most
shaded, for the sun was blistering
hot. Only a stiff rollicking breeze
saved the day from utter sultriness.
AS the old man turned the corner the
wind caught him like a cyclone 1t
sent his old fashioned high hat rolling
and tumbling behind him.
Immediately a crowd of urchins
playing in a vacant lot just off the
street made a dive for the frayed.
discolored head gear.
Get it, Get it, shouted jubilant
voices. "Old Wilson's hat. Put it
ON the post and peg at TT"
Boys, boys" chided the young lady,
throwing up her veil and showing a
face tear stained but resolute enough
even in it's rare prettiness to daunt
the lads. She managed to catch hold
of big boy who had secured the hat.
Give it to me- she said firmly.
THE old gentleman is waiting for it,"
"Humph, hint" cried the lad, con-
temptuously. why, he's only old
Miser Wilson. Take it, though-just
because you're SO pretty, and are go
ing to be our teacher"
The girl smiled brightly at the COM
pliment Her lip quivered, however,
at the last words of the boy. She
compressed them tightly and went
up to the old man.

she said.
And you rescued it from those
young torments," broke in the old
man sharply Il saw it all. I sup

CARELESS OF SMALL CHANGE
Like the Pin, Thousands of Pennies
Are Lost Every Year-Many
Are Carried Abroad.

That Americans are careless of their
small change is evidenced by the fact
that of the 150,0OO,0OO pennies annual
ly sent out from the Philadelphia mint
only small percentage are ever &C
counted for afterward, remarks Har-
per's Weekly.
It is thought that but very small
percentage of pennies lost in the
streets are ever found, since they lack
luster aud fail to catch the eye as does
a silver coin. The chances are that
they are swept up with rubbish and
SO, for the most part. lost as coins.
When the new Lincoln pennies were
first placed in circulation thousands
were used as souvenirs, never again to
find their way into general circulation.
Hundreds were gold plated and sill
vered to be used as cuff links and
stickpins.
County fairs and shows of various
kinds mutilate thousands of pennies
every year. At the fairs one may see
a machine that will f1atten a cent and
at the same time emboss a souvenir

Hundreds of thousands of pennies
are carried out of the United States
by tourists, who leave them abroad. A
year or two ago 100000 of them were
shipped to Cuban bankers and placed

How did you ever influence the
school trustees?" inquired Nella.
Just moved a squatter's family with
eight children over the township line
into a vacant house I own inside the
school district" explained old Gabriel
with a chuckle of satisfaction and
pride.
Life became a dream of beauty to
Nella in the lovely little village. The
townspeople took to her gentle ways
and the scholars idolized her. 1t,
seemed as If his rare good deed had
somehow renovated the penurious old
Gabriel. At all events, he never miss
ed a public examination in the little
red school house. At the end of the
term, the first exhibition day he
marched proudly into the place with
his adopted son, just home from col
1ege.
The young man decided that 1t was
a relief to sit for two hours and take
in the simple, yet interesting exer-
q
dozen proud children into class two.
1t charmed him to note the rare pa
thence and kindness of the young girl

of life for her daily bread
All this young Sidney told his
adopted father. The latter simply
chuckled, as was his wont, and NUT
tered something about good taste,''
and respect for old age, and what
attached to it-even old hats"
Then came the two weeks vaca-
ton, embracing the winter holidays.
Naturally old Gabriel called to see
Nella. Naturally, too, he took Sidney
with him
The sly old man heard of skating
and coasting parties after that. The
day before the new term began he
called Sidney to him.
