why certainly. OF course he does, y
replied the president.
"Mr. President don't you manage
to extract good deal Of enthusiasm
from rather chilling telegram"
was the next question. The news
paper man was hazardlng a guess on
his knowledge Of Mr.. Garrison's
views.
The president promptly resented
what he termed "thc insinuation"
in the question and declined further
to discuss the subject, but he caus-
ed an extensive investigation to be
made in an effort to ascertain how
the newspaper correspondent had
learned the contents Of Mr.. Carl
sons telegram.
When Secretary Garrison returned
to Washington, learned how little
Harrison did measure up to the re-
quiremcnts he had outlined and
realized that Mr.. Wilson had put
one over on him, he came very near
rcsigning, but decided 10 walt and
see how Harrison turned out
1t is only fair to Harrison to say
that. in Judge Garrlson's opinion.
Harrison has done less badly than
he feared. When Mr.. Wilson supine-
ly yielded to the pernicious and really
deceitful Clarke amendment" to the
Philippine bill, holding out to the
Filipinos false hopes OF Independence
in four years, Mr.. Garrison. who
places conscience above political ex-
pediency could no longer remain in
the Wilson cabinet, wholly apart
apart from the question OF military
preparedness.

How Harrison Got the Job.

Secretary Garrison was persuaded
to go on an inspection tour Of the
army posts and Notifications, He
was reported at Seattle, then lost
sight Of. Finally 1t was discovered
that he and Mrs. Garrison were max
ing o trip through the Yellowstone
Park. There the president telegraph

ton to the appointment OF Francis
Burton Harrison as goverror-general
Of the Philippines. He replied, in
substance: Don't know Harrison,
but If he measures up to the require

no objection.

Bangiewold, the oldest country house
in Dorchester. Surrey, England, Is
known to have been the scene of
eleven murders, eight accidental
stranglings, and three and a half sui
cides. Thus its reputation for being
haunted house had spread about for
miles in all directions, and old Lord
Darby, who lives there all alone, all
Of his family having been frightened
to death, Is hard put to 1t to get any
one to come and keep him company,
even for short visits. The few friends
who took advantage of his hospitable
offers have spread such tales of night
ly horrors that for years no one has
accepted an invitation to stay at Ban
glewold. Finally Chauncey Mizzen, a
young daredevil who does not even
know how 10 spell fear, agrees to keep
the old nobleman company a while
At 8 O'Clock on the second morning
OF his visit he was awakened ~ ter
rible human sounds and the rushing
of water, as OF someone drowning in
a whirlpool. In spite Of sudden trem-
bling, young Mizzen darts out Of bed
and traces the sounds to the bath
room door. The dreadful agonized
sounds and the noise as Of water con-
tinue. Mizzen, in a cold sweat, ham,
mers on the door and demands to
know what is the matter. There is a
sudden silence.)
