AN ANECDOTE OF M'KiNLEY.
His Gentle Rebuke to a Department
 Chiefs Subordinate.

President McKinley's scrupulous loy> alty to his cabinet officers is spoken or as one of his characteristics. 1t is said that he never went over the heads or his secretaries to consult an assistant, but held each to responsibility for bis department.
 Of all the events of his adminiStra- tion probably none was a source or more anxiety to him than the decision of the supreme court on the status of the colonies. It was matter of great moment whether the highest judicial body should uphold the view of the administration that the constitution sanctioned the possession of colonies which were not granted full represen- tation. There were conflicting rumors and forecasts of the color of the dec!- sion, and these added to the tension felt at Washington. Shortly before the announcement of the finding of the court a subordinate officer of one of the departments appeared at the White House at an unusual hour and insisted upon seeing the president on the plea of important business. Having been admitted, he came at once to his er- rand.
 "Mr. President, I have some good news for you. I have just learned au- thoritatively that the decision of the supreme court is to be in your favor.* He fairly glowed with the importance of his welcome message.
 '.Thank you," said Mir. Mckinley quietly. "That is good news. But have you informed your chief?"
 "No, MT. President. I thought you ought to be the first to know it."
 ''Well, MT. -, Tm sorry for that. Now, will you please do me the favor to go at once to your chief and give him the information so that he may communicate it to me?"-Silas Harrt- son in Century.

A Voice Without a Soul.

Tibet's dalai lama was greatly dis turbed by the first photograph he saw. Edmund Candler, when in Lassa with the Younghusband expedition, heard from the Nepalese resident how he had recently brought the uncanny toy as q present from the maharaiah of Nepal to the priest king. The dalai lama walked around 1t uneasily as it blared forth an English band piece and an in- delicate Bhutanese song. Then he thought for long while. and finally said he could not live with this voice without q soul. So 1t was passed on to somebody else.
