THE TRUE SHAMROCK

AS St Patsick's Day is near, the
quesnion is asked, What is the real
Shamrock No one knows surely
what plant is meant when the sham
rock is mentioned. In one part OF
ireland, one plant is known by the
name, and in other parts other plants
are called shamrock.
The plant most generally credited Is
the T.iolium minus, as this is the one
most largely exported from Ireland
for st. Patrick's Day. The common
white clover (Trifoliun repens) is
plucked and worn as shamrock in Ire
land and elsewhere. The wood sorrel
beautifully trifoliate has much in its
favor. The oxalis is so-called in
England. There are many other
plants given the name, and tho bot
anist has trouble in indentifying the
real, sure-enough plant SO dear to the
Irish heart.

pair OF shears to cut off his curls
when his older uncle, William, ap-
peared.
Don't cut off his hair" he ordered
"he will catch cold and probably get
pneumonia.
"Who's doing this" retorted his
brother, "get away and leave me
alone"
A dispute arose, which turned into
a quarrel and then blows. The younger
brother, who at one time held the
heavyweight championship among
Denver pugilists, rushed the older
man, who is slight of build, and
struck him twice, according to the fa-
ther and mother of the child, who wit.
messed the struggle, William went
down with Clarence on top.
The older brother took out his pock-
ct knife, opened the blade, and struck
upward into his brothers stomach.
The youth groaned and released his
hold. AS the older man saw his brot-
her, prostrate and bleeding profusely,
he was siezed with remorse, and ran
to the telephone to call the police am
bulance.
Both brothers are married and live
at 2342 Blake street with their father,
mother and sister Clarence Dague
has one child, a baby girl, and Will
lam has two children. The former
worked at laundry and the latter
was former guard at the county

Cabinet Announcements.

There are no hard-and-fast prece-
dents which would guide President
Wilson in the matter OF informing the
public of the cabinet selections which
he has made. He may adopt the
method which General Grant thought
best in the announcement of his first
cabinet. Grant himself was then like
q sphinx, being absolutely silent
about cabinet appointments even to
his friends. The list which he sent to
the senate the day after his inaugura.
tion contained several names which
had never been mentioned in any of
the guesses. Nobody dreamed that
President Grant was to appoint Elihu
Washburn as secretary of state.
Grant himself afterward was quoted
by some of his intimate friends as
having said that it might have been
better If he had not been SO secretive
about his cabinet appointments. .He
probably would have been spared the
peculiar experience exemplified by the
speedy resignation of Elihu Wash
burn as secretary of state and his ap-
pointment as minister to France.
General Grant always felt that he
would have been spared the humilia-
ton or at least the annoy ance, occa-
stoned by his appointment of Alexan-
der Il. Stewart of New York as secre-
tary of the treasury had he sought
advice. For had he told any member.
of the senate that he expected to nom
mate Mr.. Stewart he would have been
informed that Mr.. Stewart under the
law was ineligible.
General Garfield's cabinet was an
unknown quantity, not because Gar
field was secretive, but because he had
the greatest difficulty in making up
his cabinet. 1t was in fact not COM
pleted until after Gartield's inaugura-
ton. The only member of his cabi-
net whose appointment was we'll
known to the public was James G.
Blaine as secretary of state. Prest-
dent Cleveland, who never cared for
newspaper support and who was all
ways indifferent to newspaper support
decided as a matter of policy to let
the public guess what the membership
of his first cabinet would be. McKin-
ley, while not authorizing any an
nouncement of his cabinet, neverthe-
less was glad to have its membership
known to the public because he, felt
that in this way he could get an idea
Of what the public estimate of his cab
met would be. Lincoln, it was known
decided to name for his cabinet the
men who had been leading candidates
for the presidential nomination be-

913 NO l2
without uttering one word,
preached the greatest sermon
given in the United States this
first Sunday Of his administra-
ton. He letit be known that
the house of God is not the fit
home Of idle curiosity. That he
might avoid the thousands who
waited for hours to see him en-
ter the New York Avenue Pres
byterian church, he denied him
self the justifable pride Of sitting
in the famous church once occu-
pied by Abraham Lincoln.
While these Washington Sum-
day strollers were cooling their
heels in and around the steps of
the church, the president, Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Eleanor quietly
went to the Central Presbyterian
"a modest little place Of worship
far removed from the fashiona-
BILE section of the city. There.
praying between his wife and
daughter, the president Of the
United States asked Gods bless
ings on the work before him.
He was not expected by either
the pastor or the congregation of
the little church. And when he
walked up the aisle there was a
visible craning Of necks, for-it is
said here that it is the first time
that a,president has ever visited
the Central church.
The president kept his purpose
of going to the Central church so
quiet that none of his official staff
knew anything about it until he
got into his automobile and in
structed the chaffeur where to
drive.
Announcements in local news
papers that the president would
occupy this morning the Lincoln
pew in the New York Avenue
church brought out a crowd OF
curious persons who filled that
broad thoroughfare from curbto
curb for a block and a half. put
a damper on what traffic there
was, and caused the prompt dis
patch of ten policemen to keep a
pathway open for the expected
guests.
Long before II o'clock, the
hour set for the beginning of the
service, the ushers had to an
nounce that all seats had been
taken and the more persistent
who wished to enter had to be
content with standing room on
the sidewalk.
Many of them waited until
noon before they were convinced
that the president was not COM
ing and even then left reluctant
ly and with many hopeful glances
toward the White House. The
few faithful who remained after
the service had an opportunity to
see the vice president and Mrs.
Marshall returning from the
New York avenue church to
their hotel.
The. Central Presbyterian
church is fully a mile away from
the New York edifice. The pres
idential party started shortly be-
fore II o'clock in a White House
car for New York avenue, but
one glimpse of the crowd made
the president change his ind.
