When asked to estimate how
much the amount of unpaid bills
against the state were on Scptem-
Der Both. the auditors office were
unable to give a satisfactory an
swcr but admitted that the total

was learned that there arc at least

From the Hospital for the In

ployees have lot received their

The auditors office admit that
there are a large number of bills
for payment due to state cOntrac-
tors on buildings being erected
under the hoard of control and
for supplies furnished to the
state institutions.
Hanna's business administra-

During the last year or so he has be-

Hobart B. Jacobs, of New York, who
has gained recognition as an artist and
is esteemed highly as a lecturer on SUBJ
)ects appertaining to art, was accus-
toned at one time to spend the summer
months in or near Plymouth, Mass. In
the course of one of his visits he made
acquaintance with Edwin Morton and
this acquaintance ripened into intimacy.
Mr.. Jacobs, while mentioning incident
ally to me the friendly relations he had
established with Edwin Morton, said
BY the way, / am sure YOU will be in
terested to know that Mr.. Morton was
at one time an inmate of the Thoreau
House at Concord, Mass. Later he was
paymaster upon Admiral Farragut's flag
ship. He was in daily association with
henry ID. Thoreau, and frequently
caught glimpses of some of Thoreau's
quaint characteristics, of which the pub
lie had little knowledge. Mr.. Morton
narrated to me many anecdotes of Tho
reau, and l wish thatI had made a rec
ord of them. 1 recall one which I will
tell you. Thoreaus mother, from whom
he inherited in no small measure his
gift OF literary expression, was never
theless at times greatly inconvenienced
by her distinguished son. 1t frequently
happened that she missed her best wash
tub and upon making inquiry she learned
that Thoreau had, without asking per-
mission, taken possession of 1t and filed
1t with wild plants which he had found
somewhere in the woods of Concord and
brought home so that he might study
them.
Upon one occasion. Thoreau brought
home and dfSesited in the washtub a
plant which he had discovered in a dis
tant swamp and which he said was one
which no one suspected grew anywhere
near Concord. He was as excited over
this discovery as he might have been
had he discovered a gold mine.
Mr.. Morton told me that Thoreau
would become so absorbed in his wild
plants-although he cared little or moth
ing for cultivated fowers-that he was
unmindful OF the fact that his mother
was performing some menial labor of
which he should have relieved her. When
he had wild plant he never seemed to
observe that his mother was bringing up
coal from the cellar, permitting her to
do that notwithstanding the fact that he
was in many things a most considerate
son. Mr.. Morton himself occasionally
took Thoreau's place and brought up the
coaS And he said to me that the only
thing he had against Henry Thoreau-
and he had many things to think OF
(Which justified his admiration for him
was the fact that he used to permit his
mother to bring up coal from the cellar
not because he was Indifferent. but be-
cause he was so absorbed in some Of his
nature studies that for the time being
he knew nothing else"

II you care for heavy hair. that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides II tmme-
diately dissolves every particle of dan
druff: you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair IL you have dandrun. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre. its strength and its very life,
and If not overcome it produces a
feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish. loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily,
get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.

title is that of director OF the East and
West News Bureau. After hearing him
talk so much about the brOtherly love of
Japan. I was rather surprised at what
he said to me the other day. He has
taken a new tack. He now urges the
United States to build up merchant
marine as a measure of defense.
II fail to understand" said he, "why
with this tremendous outburst for a big
army and navy there arises but faint
voice for the upbuilding of the American
merchant marine, which would serve
both as a military arm and as the pur-
veyor of commerce.
You may probably say that We Japan
ese have no thought of aggression. While
that is very true, would it be the best
strategy for a nation at war, even If
it be waged purely for defense, to SIT
tight at home and wait for its enemy
to come to attack at it's very door in
stead of striking him hard at his own
door?
''Howsoever, this may be, in the event
that America Is engaged in a conflict
with one or more of the great maritime
nations of Europe. while her splendid
fleet is doubtless able to overcome any
invading fleet. what would become of her
foreign commerce?
Stny-at-Home Tonnage.
while your mercantile fleet of $780,
900 tonnage makes America next to the
greatest among maritime nations, the
vast majority of your steamers plow
your lakes, rivers and the waters near
the coasts, whereas your immense for
eign trade is carried on mostly in foreign
bottoms. So far as your traffic on the
Atlantic is concerned does not this ratio
stand at the enormous odds of nine to
one?

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
February S-Helen Maria Williams.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Helen Maria Williams, writer OF poems,
was born hundred and fifty-four years
ago. in London. 1t is said by her bio
graphers that her only education was re-
ceived from her "virtuous, amiable and
sensible" mother.
She began to write when young, and
her first story. Edwin and Eltrude, -
was so successful that she was much en-
couraged and decided to make writing
her life work. This story was legend
in verse.
When she was twenty-six she moved
to France, where she lived for most OF
the rest of her life. She was imprison-
ed by Robespiere, and was an intimate
friend of Madame Roland, and IN 1888,
while she was in prison in the Luxem-
bourg. she continued to write. Much that
she wrote. at one time taken for a state
ment of fact, has since been considered
only the impression Of very much pre-
judiced woman.
She wrote "Perouron, the Bellows
Member" which was later adapted for
the stage by Lord Lytton as the very
successful Lady of Lyons"
