Theodore Roosevelt's family and

accident in which his party lost its
entire equipment in the rapids of a

whether the expedition would be

LONDON, Mar. GA much
easier feeling has been created in the
British Isles by the reassuring state
ulent given out by Premier Asquith
to the effect that the troop move
ments in Ulster had been ordered
only as a precautionary measure.
The inference Is generally drawn
from his remarks that the govern
ment's intentions toward army of
ticers. whC, did not desire to serve
against the Orangemen had been
s1ntsfnterpreted.
The public in all parts of the
United Kingdom aw2ited- eagerly to-
day the explanation OF the cabinet In
the House of Commons to which
place the Irish controversy has been
transferred. In some quarters there
was an inclination to believe that
General Sir Arthur Paget, commander
in chief in ireland, had placed a
much graver Interpretation upon the
governments inquiries as to the
feeling of army officers In the Irish
garrison than was Intended. He
presented an uItimatum to the Of
fcers that they must serve or resign.
Sir Arthur always has taken
serious view of the threatened refusal
of officers to serve in Ulster. It IS
understood that he followed his pub
lie warning by q private animation
that their designations would not be
uuietly accepted by the war Office.
General Paget, 'Brigadier General
Hubert Cough, commander or the
cavalry brigade at the Curragh, and
other officers attached to the irish
garrison, reached London this morn
ing and Immediately went to the war
office to confer with Colonel John
Seely, secretary of war, and field
marshal, Sir John French. This
conference was followed by a full
meeting of the. cabinet.

studied how to eliminate 1t in all it's

in which to use her energies. When
she was satisfied that there was an op-
portunity for her to employ her tai
ents to the best advantage, she
branched out for herself. She became
a Wall street efficiency engineer.
Wall street is made up of a mass Of
businesses y big and little. There are
some concerns that employ hundreds
OF men and women. There are some
that employ dozen or two. There
are some that are made up of man,
a boy, and an apology for a stenog-

One day Wall street was surprised
to receive an announcement from Miss
Shapiro that she was ready to assist
business houses to reduce their Of
flee expenses and at the same time
maintain the highest standard Of efi-
cheney. These results she would OBJ
tain by studying their needs carefully
and applying the most practical plans
and suggestions.
Some OF the men who received her
announcement threw 1t in the waste
basket. To some of the others it gave
an idea. They we're not satisfied with
the manner in which their Offices were
being conducted. Expenses were high,
but somehow they did not manage to
get their work handled satisfactorily.

DAIRY
DEVELOPING THE YOUNG cow
To Establish Long Milking Propensity
DaIryman Must Be Persistent
In Milking Heifer.

II you wish to establish long milk.
Ing propensity you must be persistent
in milking the heifer after her first
calf. 1t Is then that the habit of a
long or short milking period Is formed.
Dry her up at seven or eight months.
and 1t is difficult ever after to get her
to milk for 10 months. For this rea-
son keep on milking her for 10 or IL
months, no matter how little milk you
may get. This Is the Danish method
of making large and persistent milk
ers, and 1t is the only practical way.
To obtain gentle cows there Is nothing
like raising them yourself. The COW
seems to partake of the disposition Of
her keeper. No dairyman can afford
to have a man in his stable who Is
rough and quick tempered. A COW
that Is abused will not give much
milk. If the heifer is thrifty and we'll
developed she may be served when 18
months Of age, and will then drop her
first calf when two and a quarter
years old. If served much beyond this
period she is apt to acquire the habit
OF putting her food into fiesh-and not
into milk. 1t is we'll to delay the COM
ing of the second calf for the few
months longer than is usual in the ma
ture cow. This gives the young COW
better chance to develop, as there Is
not the extra tax on her during the
heaviest flow of milk.
The Danish and North Holland
dairymen lay great stress on the i'm
portance of manipulating the adder,
teats and milk veins. This consists
of rubbing the udder with the hands
and the milk veins under the stomach
once or twice week from calfhood
up to the time she drops her first calf.
This handling enlarges and lengthens
the teats and gives greater capacity
to the udder. The young heifer so
handled becomes very docile and
when she calves she will allow you to
gently rub her udder and draw the
milk. The heifer's udder few days
after calving Is swollen and inflamed
and often painful. The young COW
rs nervous and excited. Let the calf
remain with the COW, and after the
calf has sucked gently milk her out
clean. The relief thus given will quiet
her and she will not offer to kick. The
kicking COW is not born; she is made
so by the milk. We have for a num-
Der Of years followed this method and
1t has been very satisfactory.

Mary Shapiro, the Remarkable
Business HouSekeeper
of Wall Street.
ITS EFFICIENCY ENGINEER
She Tells Employers How to Minlm-
lze Their Office Expenses and Get
Better Results-Somc Unique
EmpIoyments.
BY RICHARD SPIllANE,

Wall street has something entirely
new, a business housekeeper. She calls
herself visiting secretary, but visit
ing or business housekeeper more
nearly defines her work In the home
of "The System" she is teaching sys-
TEN. She is a scientific Office woman.
When a firm or a corporation finds its
office force does not work we'll, or that
expenses are out of all proportion to
the results achieved, she straightens
things out. What the efficiency engi-
neer who goes into factory and, aft
er careful study, reports to the manu-
facturer what must be done to check
waste, she does for the banker, the
broker, the lawyer and the mining
man. No job is too big for her, and
no job too small. She has been in
Wall street long enough to know it's
needs and has had experience enough
to know how to meet those needs.
The business housekeeper is Mary
Y. Shapiro. She went to the street
when she was a slip of girl. She is
less than thirty now, but she says it
seems as If she has been in the finan-
cial district for ages. Most of the
stenographers down town or up town
are most happy when they have the
least to do. They chatter and gossip
and watch the clock rather than think
of ways and means by which they
may serve their employers or improve

SUMMER FEEDING FOR COWS
To Overcome Short and Dry Pastures
Animals Should Be Given For
age With Some Grain.

Pasture is one of the essentials OF
successful dairy farming, but must not
be depended upon blindly as the only
source of the cows feed during the en-
tire growing season. Given the prop
er chance to make good growth Of
grass during the early spring season
before the herd is turned upon 1t, the
COWS will usually get enough food
from the pasture alone for a few
weeks of the late spring and early
summer season to fully maintain their
condition and milk flow, but later will
often go hungry and fall of both In
body condition and milk flow because
the pastures become dry and short.
To overcome this the cows should be
fed either green forage or silage with
some grain.

their minds. Occasionally there is one
that is different. Miss Shapiro was
different. She was earnest, ambitious
and eager to learn. She wanted to
have her full share of the innocent
pleasures of life, but downtown meant
business to her. AS she wanted to go
ahead in the world she could not see
wherein she would be doing justice
to herself If she did not learn every
thing she could about business.
Learned Something Every Day.
What education she has she got In
the schools of New York. good
pupil can learn lot in the schools Of
New York. There is lot more that
can be learned after leaving school.
This girl stenographer learned some
thing every day. She studied her en-
ployer's business, studied the methods
by which things we're done and re-
tanned all the knowledge she obtained.
She was not content merely to tran
scribe the notes of her employers
letters. Whenever she could make
herself useful at any other work, she
was eager to do it. First of all, she
wanted to be a flrst-class stenogra-
pher. The more difficult the dictation
the better she liked it, Within two
years she could write so fast steno-
graphically and so accurately that she
was the pride of the Office.
It is all very well to be frst-class
stenographer, but stenography has its
limitations. She could not hope to get
more than s25 or $50 week. regard
less of how expert she became. She
wanted to fit herself for something
better. She had an idea that If she
became well grounded in business she
could fit herself for some really good
position. The New York university
has a department OF commerce, ac-
counts and finance which is designed

she had learned as much as her teach
ers could impart to her.
She wanted to be thorough so she
was not content to work in only one
branch of Wall streets business. She
took various employments simply with

and she worked for broker; then she
worked for lawyer, then she worked

Too Good for cIerkshlp.
A clever young woman learns faster
than clever young man, and has a
better grasp of detail. The men Miss
Shapiro worked for were delighted
been happy to have retained her as
clerk But she did not wish to remain
a clerk. She had a finer mind than
some of the men she worked for, and
a better grasp of business. She thought
she might aspire to some official posi-
tion, like secretary or assistant secre-
tary to q corporation. She knew she
had executive ability, and with her
skill at accounts and her fine grasp Of
correspondence and general business
she knew she could give good service.
Men who knew her capabilities praised
her highly, and declared she was one
of the brightest young women they
ever had found in the business field.
Praise is very pleasant, but when
there was a vacancy in a secretarial
position, and Miss Shapiro applied for
it, those who had the awarding of the
position hemmed and hawed They
would like to give it to her, they ac-
knowledged, but it never would do.
They had to have a man, they said.
To have a woman in an official posi-
