THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must Be Diplomat, and His Posi-
tion Is Not an Easy One.

ne MUST 30 diplomat, and Ills POSI-
tion Is Not an Easy One.
The duties of a secretary to a presi-
dent of the United States are not con-
sidered at all secondary in Importance
to those of a cabinet officer. He is the
man who first meets the thousands of
visitors to the president. He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president These visitors come from
all parts of the United States on all
sorts of missions, some important, but
mostly Of a very trivial character, and
they come bringing all sorts of letters
of Introduction from all sorts Of people.
We're the president to see all these
folks be would not have time for any
thing else, and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chair and
send the char away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi-
dent. The presidents secretary is a
buffer between his chief and the Unit
ed States senators and members OF the
house of representatives with myriad
axes to grind. He must be diplomat
with the most famous diplomats Of the
world when they call at the White
House to take up the time of the prssi
dent. Indeed, it has been often said In
Washington that the presidents secre-
tary must be as much Of diplomat as
any member Of the diplomatic corps If
he is to be of substantial value to his
chief
Again, the secretary must have rela-
tons with the hundreds Of correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers of the country. Public opinion is
nodded by these correspondents. and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics In their ambition to
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
House. Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, and it is one duty of the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
sive and probing questions of these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and In good form.
Then, too, invariably the presidents
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
of details come up on these tours of
which the president is not expected to
know, but 1t Is the absolute duty of his
secretary to be familiar with them

The romance Of lighthouse construc-

adjacent rock. Smeaton's tower was
rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe, where can
be seen the original candle chandelier

that they should SNUFF the candles at

cause for so many stumbling
There IL very little grounds for the

was identical with the miscellaneous
creation recorded in the FIRST chapter
and II the requirements of orthodoxy

For instance. II would throw light

Cain; II would account for the exist
cnce OF that people from whom his
wife was chosen, and which afterwards
had their residence in his city
This distinction between the miscel-
chapter. which included the creation OF
men and women from Adam and Eve
would doubtless explain the statement
that the sons of God took unto them
