MO OTHER president, with the ex-
~ ceptlon of John Quincy Adams,
has served the country as long as
James Monroe and, without exception,
none has had an official experience
so varied.
From 1776. when be was vigorous,
slx-foot, broad shouldered, raw-boned
boy of eighteen, and left William and
Mary's college TO enter the Revolu-
tion, Monroe remained in the public
service until 1925. when he retired
from the White House wrinkled,
care bent, Impoverished old man. In
those 40 years, he had been a minor
military officer under Washington; re-
peatedly a member of the legislature,
a member of the Continental congress
and OF the national senate; twice gov
ernor OF Virginia; minister TO France,
England and Spain; secretary OF state
and war at the same time and finally
president for two terms.
Without wealth or family influence,
with a slow, commonplace mind, with
no gifts as speaker; with a modest
awkward presence and plain, unpol-
ished manners, this very ordinary man
plodded up the ladder of ambition TO
its topmost rung. How? BY sheer
force of his rugged. courageous, In

In the provincial language of Rhode
Island are many humorous expressions,
one of which is the following para
phrase of familiar adage: There's
many slip between the upper lip and
the dlpper."
Deception is characterized by the
idioms, "Skullduggery," "Shenanigan"
and ''hornswoggle." To attack an OBJ
ject forcibly is TO go at 1t full chisel"
or hell bent for election" aud to be
thrifty is TO be "forehanded." If one
Is indlsposed, it is possible that his
liver may be "outer kilter" and one
who is lazy is 'dolittle-coot."

HUMBLE CATFISH DOES WORK
ers Cleaned at Small Expense
to the Taxpayers.

In one Of the towns Of Oregon the
familiar catfish figures as a hardy pio-
neer, and II valued adjunct 10 the
street department, all because the
terra Gotta sewers and drains, espe-
cially those in the lower part Of the
town, frequently get choked.
If the sewer is not broken 1t can be
cleaned by passing a rope through IT,
to be pulled backward and forward
until the obstruction is loosened and
removed. The deputy superintendent
of streets had a good deal Of such
work to look after, but at last he dis
covered a quick, sure and easy method.
He goes to the river, catches a cat
fish, ties q string to its tail, drops II
down a manhole into the sewer, and
II at once starts for the river and
forces its way through any obstruc-
tion not as solid as brick, dragging the
string after 1t. Then the deputy goes
as far down the sewer as he deems
necessary and picks up the string,
which he uses to draw a wire through
the sewer, and with this rope is
pulled through and the sewer Is soon
cleaned.

How Gipsles podae Tax.

Gipsies in a picturesque encamp-
ment near Guildford. Surrey, have dis
covered a novel method Of evading
local taxation. AS their encampment
is permanent they become liable to
house duty, for a caravan is held to be
a permanent residence IL stationary In
one spot. There is a regulation. how
ever that If the wheels of permanent
caravan home are turned completely
round once every year the owner Is
absolved from duty. Consequently,
when the rate collector calls at the
camp there is a general wheel-turning.
Every caravan simultaneously moves
forward about two yards-and the
gipsies can live duty free for another
year.-London Daily Mail.

United States had some of the
Chinese thoroughness and de-
pendence upon the memory, re-

Herald.

to the teacher, who hears him
read a column or more, after
which the pupil returns to his

aloud until he can recite Ii

his book again 10 the teacher,
turns his back upon his master

In this way the pupil commits
the whole book TO memory and
he is expected to learn 1t so
thoroughly that he can at any
moment repeat the whole Of any
passage the initial words of
which are mentioned to him.
Just before the MONDAY re-
cess the teacher writes a senti-
ment, proverb or proposition
upon slip OF red paper and
pastes it upon the door. Each
boy as he goes out reads the
lines and in the afternoon rem

WINTER CRoWDING IS ERROR
Big Mistake to Put Too Many Hens
and Pullets Together in One
House In Cold Weather

A good many farm poultry raisers
make the mistake of housing too many
hens and pullets together during cold
weather. Hens Will lay as we'll If
yarded and well cared for rs if on
free range; but they must not be
crowded when they are confined.
If the hens are being fed and forced
for eggs alone. get them into winter
quarters in their pens early in the fall
and do not change them about after
they have been located. Introducing
new hens into the laying pens always
causes more or less confusion, and
this decreases the number of eggs
laid.

dustrious, honest, loyal character-a
triumph of the homely virtues.
Although he failed in some of his
most important tasks, Monroe's fall
ures were forgiven because they were
honest mistakes. The ridicule and the
disgrace brought upon him by the most
spectacular episode of his undramatic
life would have buried forever man
more brilliant and less sincere.
This remarkable scene was enacted
on the highly theatrical stage Of the
national convention at Paris directly
after the Reign Of Terror and the fall
of Robespierre, when France was the
outcast among nations. At that mo-
ment, Monroe appeared as the envoy
Of the only sister republic and, TO let
all the world see that the. Revolution
had at least one friend left on earth,
the president Of the convention melo-
dramatically folded the rustic Virgin
ian in his arms.
After two years, he was recalled for
his zeal, and came home in a rage Of
indignation. Passing by the gate Of
Mount Vernon without paying his re-
spects to Washington, he paid them
instead IN 500 pages which he pub
llshed in defense Of himself and In de-
nunciation of the administration. New
ertheless, the discredited diplomat was
sent TO Paris again by President JEFF
ferson In few years, when he came
away covered with success, and with
the treaty for the purchase of Louisl-
ana under his arm by fitting prelude
TO the Monroe doctrine, 20 years later
There Is a most interesting souve-
mir Of Monroe In Paris. Like Madl-
son, he had fallen In love while n
member Of congress and had married
Elizabeth Kortright Of New York. Two
children having been born to them,
one Of the girls was placed In the ia
nous French school Of Nine. Campan,
where she formed friendship with
Hortense Beauharnals that outlasted
the many vicissitudes Of Josephine's
daughter.
Recently the notable figures in the
court Of the first consul of Malmai-
son were modelled and grouped about
Napoleon for a celebrated wax works
show In Paris. In that brilliant galaxy
Of monarchs and dukes yet to be-
Eliza Monroe, In girlish prettlness, is
