Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

November %, 1904 rumor that
Secretary of the Treasury Howell Cobb
has sent his resignation to President
P,Jchanan added to the undercurrent of
excitement throughout the city today.
The rllmor gained Roadway at the
Treasury Department early in the fore
noon and caused quite a commotion
among the Treasury employees. SecIe s,,
transacting business as usual, and no
confirmation of his resignation was OBJ
tainable.
It is reported that very serious dis
sensions have arisen in President
Buchanan's cabinet over the terms Of
the Presidents forthcoming message to
Congress treating with the current Sc
cession excitement. How much truth
there is in these stories OF cabinet Diff
ferences it has been Impossible 70 dis
cover today.
There are some Southern members Of
the cabinet, among whom; oouoLlesS, Is
Secretary Cobb, a Georgian. VINO are
known to hold views upon the present
burning issue in unison with the opin-
ions that seem to prevail to a great
extent among public men of their home
States. Probably If the forthcoming
message to Congress were theirs TO
write, its position with reference 10 the
prOpriety OF secession at IIllS GlIIle Woulu
reflect their views. AS the message Is
not theirs. but the Presidents, break
up of the cabinet, because the message
may reflect Mr. Buchanan's we'll known
sentiments against secession, seems un-
likely to some observers. However, the
situation is so delicate that some per-
sons would not be surprised at any
thing that might happen, so lar as the
cabinet is concerned.
From New York today comes tele-
graphic news that the financial panic
has been checked. Southern stocks have
taken a pronounced rise. probably be-
cause of a growing impression in the
North that South Carolina is destined
to stand alone in her purpose.
The banks of the District OF Column
bia were compelled to suspend pay
ments today. following the example OF
the Baltimore banks. II the banks of
Washington had hesitated 48 hours in
suspending, every speculator who could
reach this city by railroad in that time
would have drawn specie from them,
thus putting 1t out of the power of the
Washington banks to aid their regular
business customers. even to the extent
Of a dollar, in these unsettled times.
The consequence would have been the
bankruptcy of hundreds of persons in
Washington.

BRAIN TESTS

Answer these questions, allowing four
minutes. Each one has a sensible
answer.
% A donkey was tied to one end Of
a rope that is 20 feet long. A stack of
hay was situated 100 feet from the
donkey. Yet the donkey walked over
and ate the hay.
How was this possible?
co A man came home late and
found that he had forgotten the key to
the front door. He tried all the win
dows. but they were bolted. He tried
the back door, but it was locked. There
was no other entrance; yet the man
finally entered without difficulty.
How was this possible?
go A man left his room for dinner
at o'clock. Before he left he realized
that he had to be up at o'clock the
next morning. So he wound the alarm
clock and its alarm, set the alarm and
turned it on. Then he went out and
returned at midnight. The next morn
ing he slept past 8 o'clock. He was a
light sleeper and the clock was in work.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There, shame on you, for being SC
mean to your little brother. Suppose
he does want the wagon all the time,
you're bigger, and ought to have more
sense than to quarrel with hi about it. y
Being the older child in the house
hold Is supposed to make one just natu-
rally unselfish. Older brothers have to
give in to younger sisters, even though
youngster sisters are selfish, little
meanies and never give-in in return.
Older brothers have to let Oscar have
the wagon when he hangs on and yells
for dear life. Actually, it makes mother
too nervous to hear oscar yell, and CIV
ing In has to be older brothers Job, so
mother won't be nervous.
Older children soon begin to feel that
age makes them so Disseminated
against that, fearing the result OF family
conferences, they get what they want by
strategy and cunning Wagons can be
gotten from selfish younger children by
threats and promises when fairer tactics
won't work.
Two children Of differing ages need
different toys and each should Keep MS
own until he has learned the pleasures
of sharing Then there won't be con-
slant trouble, constant quarrels to arol-
trate. 1t is not only unfair to the older
but an actual damper to the younger's
developing sense of unselfishneSs to let
him always win because he is younger
If he finds an iron hand on wanted
toy and a brassy cry for mother will
bring the desired object. he has poor
announcement to use any more sports
manlike methods.
Children should play together amiably.
They should love each other enough to
be happy to share their good things
Favoring one or the other is without
results in bringing about these desir-
able conditions.
Many toys are too large to be dupli-
Gated in household. while smaller toys
and games can be. In that case neither
should have any stronger claim upon
it than the other. If 1t is an outdoor
toy each should have his turn at 1t, and
no turn to be too long. If it is an in
door toy, the same methods will work.
"You can have the tea set for a half
hour and Sally can play with the doll
bed. If you don't want to play together.
One of you can put the baby to bed
and the other be fixing lunch, like
mother does"
If the tea set is the sole article de-
sired, then it has to be played with for
only limited time. Usually If children
know that they can play with a toy
undisturbed, but it belongs to the next
contender as soon as dropped. there
will be no trouble, as child's interest
is of such short duration that no hard
ship is worked on either.
II the child doesn't have to fight to
hold his own, or to get fair play there
would be an end to quarrels and tale
bearings and crying.
An admiring neighbor stopped to
speak to Tony and his red-cheeked,
bundled-up brother George. How nice
you play together" said the neighbor
admiringly I'VE play fair" said Tony
proudly, 81 give my brudder ride and
men he gives me one. It's my turn
now" And to show how much more
than fair he was. he pushed the inartic-
ulate George into the wagon and tore
down the street with him.

DIET AND HEALTH

I suggest that you have your son

physician, Mrs r. He Is about 10
pounds underweight. This should be
remedied. Then. II your doctor thinks
it necessary, visit specialist in psy-

Do not call attention to the move

tell you to ignore them entirely. Chill

gerate symptoms to get it.

Athletes of Old Times
Never Out of Training

In comparing athletic feats of to-
day with those Of ancient times. 1t
must be kept in view that the men
of the old days did not spend their
days In factories, or over desks, and
take homeopathic doses of exercise
in q Y. NJ. g. A. gym at nights. Their
whole lives were spent In exercises
which fitted them for sterner work on
the field of battle. Exercises and war
like sports were their A B @, first to
eighth grade, high school and college.
About fifty years ago, in a small
town called Jedburgh, in the south of
Scotland, there lived man named
Dan Wight. This man was noted
runner and was the first man to be
called "The Flying Scotsman" At
one time he was the champion sprin-
ter Of Great Britain. 1t Is however,
his unofficial record which Is Of great
est interest. He Is credited locally
with having run 300 yards In 30 Sec
onds.
The writer once saw him give an
other runner about two-thirds the
length of the course, and II the race
had been one stride longer Dan would
have won. 1t Is of interest to specu-
late on the speed Dan attained while
he was cutting down his competitors
