Wit of Joseph Choate.

Joseph Choate had a decidedly nasal
voice, but it was a beautiful voice,
resonant as some big gong, and his
rather unkind wit was as genuine as
his courage. Every now and then his
wit was touched with beauty, as when
he said Of the freshmen dormitories at
Harvard that all they needed to make
them rivals Of the Oxford college build
ings was ivy and time. Mr.. Choate
took playful satisfaction in suddenly
chilling auditors whom he had careful
~ warmed Speaking once at boys
school, three Of whose graduates had
acted as his secretaries when he was
ambassador, he delighted his audience
by his praise Of these secretaries.
After enjoying the pleasure Of masters
and boys Mr.. Choate wound up by say
ing something like this, perhaps I
ought to add that all ask of secre-
tary is that he shall keep out of my
way and shave every day."-New Re

Spanish DoubIoons.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose Of
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps Of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing it was. In 1730 and for a CEN
fury after it was worth So, more or
less. It has ceased to be coined in its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
1t has been unpopular In the West In
dies, where for long time 1t figured
In q mixed circulation, embracing Brit
fish, United States and Spanish coins.
In the interest Of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value Of pistole.
but the "doubloon" was never such q
mouth filling mockery as pieces Of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-

Fur BEARING Animals,

The fur trade In this country has
grown to such proportions as regards
it's business value that naturally the
concern Of those engaged in It is d.
rected to its permanency. Curiously
enough, the prevalent opinion that fur
bearing animals are fast decreasing in
numbers Is not correct as regards those
animals which furnish the bulk Of the
fur business.
There are a number Of fur bearing
animals which cannot exist in civilized
and thickly settled countries and which
consequently are fast dying out. But
muskrats, coons, skunks and some 9TH
ers seem to thrive and multiply In spite
Of civilization, for such old and thick
" settled states as New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio still contribute
largely to the fur trade, especially in
muskrat skins. Should the time come
when these animals cannot be had
p1entifuIly In their wild state it is not
unlikely that they will be bred especial
y for their furs.-New York Times.

Surmountina the impossible.

It has been the experience of every
forester as he goes about the country
to be told that a certain mountain is
impossible, that a certain trail cannot
be Travelled, that certain stream can
not be crossed and to find that noun
tain, trail and stream can all be passed
with little serious difficulty by a man
who Is willing to try. Most things said
to be impossible are so only in the
mind Of the man whose timidity or
inertness keeps him from making the
attempt. The whole story of the es-
Enlistment and growth of the United
States forest service is a story Of the
doing Of things which the men who did
them were warned in advance would
be impossible. Usually the thing
which cannot be done" is well worth

President Adopts Early Rising Perma-
nentIy to Keep In Touch With War.
Washington.-While a majority Of
the $4,000 government clerks were still
asleep the president was working in
his office early. He reached his desk
at 6 o'clock, and it became known he
is determined to adopt this hour as the
daily beginning Of his work. Govern
ment clerks go to work at 9 o'clock
and finish at 4:30. The president fire.
quently Is In his Office at night.
The presidents determination to get
up early Is not prompted wholly by a
desire to avoid the hot hours Of the
day. The fact Is that he is keeping In
the closest touch with the details Of
the war making activities Of the ad-
ministration, and longer working hours
are necessary II he is to have time for
the recreation prescribed by Rear Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson, his physician.

He was assisted from the car to an au-

His apartments are on the second

The house was deliberately decorated In

The same may be said Of the neighbor-

William De MORGAN.

In spite of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance of novelists who seek to be-
come popular. None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing Of the moment
In fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was a law unto
himself In the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful If
in English literature or in any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world of
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and in
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer.-Bookman-

He Lacked Concentration.

five minutes at time, q captain Of in

ing dog he once owned:
"At sunrise the dog would start out
on his own hook after deer. He would
jump q buck and run him for miles.
When the buck was on the point Of eI-
haustion the hounds nostrils would
catch the faint In the air where a fox
had crossed the trail, and he would in
stantly decide that, after ali, fox was
what he had come for, and he would
turn aside to pursue the fox. Perhaps
an hour later, when the chase was
growing warmer every minute, his keen
nose would detect the presence Of a
rabbit, and he would go after the cot
tontail, with the inevitable result that
by 4 o'clock In the afternoon that
hound would be thirty or forty miles

Gold Coin and Certificates Of Deposit
Found After His Death.
Pendleton, Ore.-In an investigation
Of the death Of johnson W. Willard, an
aged recluse Of the farming district
southeast Of Milton, Coroner Brown
discovered gold coin and certificates Of
deposit amounting to more than $16,-
900. They were tucked away In every
conceivable place. An old vest hang
ing In a closet yielded several hundred
dollars In gold.
Three or four purses were found
packed with coin. In addition to this,
Mr.. Willard owned the ranch where he
lived, valued at $4,000. One daughter,
Mrs. Hill, survives. Her home Is In
Montana.
Mr.. Willard lived entirely to himself
since the death Of his wife three years
ago, and the room she used to occupy
had been locked. It was there, In the
bottom Of q trunk, that several Of the
certificates Of deposit were found.
During the past few years DIR. VII
lard leased his ranch, retaining only
the house and a bit Of grounl, where
he raised a small garden. He settled
ON a homestead In 1869, Just after the
war, and in the typhoid epidemic Of
1878 lost all his children but tie one
daughter. Mr.. Willard was eighty-six.

AVIATION SERVICE NOT
THE MOST DANGEROUS
Records of Allies Show 1t Is
Fourth In the Percentage of
Casualties.

Washington. - Contrary to popular
opinion, the air service Of the army, al
though perhaps the most thrilling
branch, is not the most dangerous
Captain Aubrey Lippincott, In charge
Of the personnel Of the signal corps of
the army, says the records Of our al
lies put air service fourth In the per-
centage of losses. The heaviest losses
have been in the medical corps, next in
infantry and third in artillery.
Although applications have been nu-
merous for enrolment in the six cadet
schools for flyers recently opened, Cap
tain Eppincott says many more men
will be needed before the end Of the
year. One hundred and fifty men are
trained weekly. Enough men have been
accepted to keep the schools supplied
with recruits for more than two
months, but several thousand will be
required later on, as the supply Of men
must be constantly augmented.
Only a small percentage Of the men
who apply for enrolment In cadet
aviation schools at the universities of
California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio,
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
and Cornell can be accepted. The re
quirements are stricter than In any
other branch of the service. The i'm
preston that only college graduates
are admitted is incorrect, but a sub
stantial foundation for intensive tech
meal training is necessary. 1t has oft
en- been found that three years at col
lege or its equivalent gives a man the
knowledge which makes the training
come with reasonable rapidity.

as "smarasdus," seen In the writings
Of Pliny, who particularized somewhat

enough to suspect its identity with the
