To receive snuff box at the

upon 40 q particular indication of

that snuff boxes are being collected
now by lovers Of the antique and
the unusual.
Snuff boxes were made In all

studded specimens Of the goldsmjth's
art and humble little oval affairs
made from the bark Of the birch.
Snuff-taking originated with the
people or France, and was the most

Louis the Grand. Under Queen

Napoleon complained Of tina TINA

While General Jackson was Presi-

turn.

The SIMPLICITY
of the
WASHINGTONS

A LTHOUGH the inauguration cere-
"A monies and festivities were well
over when Mrs. Washington reached
New York, and the house furnished,
there remained for her and her hus-
band the difficult task of arranging the
social functions of the executive man
sion. While those about them were
discussing the question Of the title to
be used In addressing the new presi-
dent, whether 1t should be His High
ness, His Serene Highness, Ills High
mightiness. or simply His Excellency,
dent and his wife should be surround
ed by the ceremony Of a court or be
characterized by the simplicity suited
to republic, the Washingtons quietly
and unostentatiously mapped out their
social duties according to their own
ideas of propriety.
Washington, to whom nothing con-
nected with his Office seemed small or
unimportant, and who realized that
this was naturally period for the
much time and thought to the proper
adjustment of social as well as of po-
litical etiquette; In all of which ar
rangements he was assisted by his
former aide-de-camp, Colonel Hum

tary Of legation In Paris Mrs Wash

the president simply bowed to each

chose to be considered simply as "a

Workers union, has passed out of ex-
istance 1t was formed 13 years ago
by group of revolutionists for the
avowed purpose of destroying the re-
gular union. Every stereotyped phrase
was brought into play. To pave the
way for the coming revolution, work.
ers must be educated, saith these
leaders" There was to be no arbi-
tration and no wage agreements, and
the referendum would pass judgment
on everything.
This was the old harangue and pro-
fessed program of the revolutionists,
who, as usual, had another program,
which was not publicly referred to-.
They accepted arbitration and agree
ments, and signed wage scales wher-
ever possible Their belief in autoc-
racy, rather than in the referendum,
was shown when they went to court
for an injunction to compel their mem
bers to comply with an agreement to
which they did not give their approval.
Gradually the union" fell to pieces.
It's passing has been officially an
nounced by the leaders," who have
assembled under a new world-saving
banner. They will continue their dis
reputable tactics among the handful
of workers who look upon phrase-mon-
gering as progress.

would have been able to pay the gov
ernment of the United States $1,000
900 more for the lease than he did, so
what is the difference?
The government of the United
States," continued Senator Walsh,
"paid 81 100000 for these claims. To
whom did they pay it? They paid it
to the Pioneer oil company? Who is
the Pioneer oil company? The pioneer
oil company is a subsidiary of the
Midwest company. The Midwest COM
pany is a subsidiary of the Standard
oil company of Indiana; so that the
Standard oil company of Indiana was
paid $1,0OO,00O for these spurious
claims.
"The Standard oil was a potential
bidder for this lease on the Teapot
Dome, but Mr.. Sinclair paid them ST.
100000 to get out of the field. That
is speculation, but there is no other
possible theory"

TEAPOT DOME PIE"
Passed To Standard Oil In
Roundabout Way

Washington,-Wa Standard Oil
handed $1,0O0,000 of the peoples
money just because one of its subsidi-
aries held illegal claims on Teapot
Dome?
These claims-known as "cat and
dog" claims-were held by men who
sunk wells on the naval reserve with
out authority Senator Walsh of Mon
tana declared that none of these
claims had even. shadow of legality
about them,' and that not one claim
ant dared go before the proper public
officials and ask for a patent to any
of this ground.
Despite the illegality of these
claims they were paid off, and ST.
100000 of the peoples money was
paid to subsidiary of Standard Oil
which had suddenly acquired posses
sion of the claim.
"Of course, the secretary of the in
terror did not do it, but Mr.. Sinclair
did it," said Senator Walsh. "But If
Mr. Sinclair had not paid 81 100000 to
clear off these cat and dog claims, he
