HAD HEARD ROGERS BEFORE

Representative John Jacob Rogers
OF Massachusetts, Ia a young man, a
Harvard graduate, and really began
his congressional career while a half
back at college. It happened that
Hamlin, who was assistant secretary
of the treasury under Cleveland, came
to Harvard to give lectures In po-
litical and governmental matters, and
among his most interested pupils was
young Rogers.
The study proved so facinating
that Rogers determined to enter pub
lie life, and did SO. reaching congress
to serve his first term March 4. 1912.
When making his canvass of his dis
trict he was Obliged frequently to
speak, an obligation which is very
distasteful to him.
At one place he rose, and, going to
the front of the platform. said in an
ordinary voice. with an assumption OF
humility. which was intended to
charm the hearers:

"The schools are mainly patriotic.
It seems that love OF American insti-

there will remain Japanese. While
believe they will be good American
citizens. there will arise the same
kind OF racial problem that we have
here with the negro, for the white
people in the island will not be DOM

There are many Chinese They
do fntermarry and and assimiIate very
rapidly with the Hawaiians and the
Portuguese. The Chinese are much
esteemed They furnish much OF the
lower labor and have many OF the
smaller stores The prevailing senti-
ment of Hawaii is that the bar against
Chinese immigration ought to be re-
moved so far as II affects the islands

upon me during my stay to urge that
this be done.

CHIEF FLYNN'S FIRE ESCAPE

William Flynn, the secret service
chief, used to have ambitions to be
an inventor. His taste ran toward
getting up a new-fangled fire escape
that would fold up when not In use
and not seriously mar the appearance
of building. He felt that IL he could
Just do something to save few dis
tracted persons caught in burning
buildings he would not have lived in
vain. Being a resourceful person,
Flynn thought and thought about the
proposition until finally he got plan
all worked out. He showed his draw
ings to several friends, who declared
that 1t was thoroughly practical. All
that remained to be done was to have
the thing patented and then sit back
and reap the fortune that was his.
One afternoon he was strolling
across Brooklyn bridge on his way
to look at a piece OF property he was
going to buy when the money began
to pour in from the new fire escape.
He CHANGED to glance across at a build

hand out of that pocket and sought
another pocket. Then he tried his

pockets in rapid succession.
Then he left the vestibule and
