the time they served at the White
House.
For example, there's the case of
Everett Sanders. secretary to Calvin
Coolidge. While he had been member
of Congress before going with Coolidge
the contacts that he made at the White
House had much to do with his being
chosen chairman of the Republican
National Committee.
Outstanding leaders of the country
in the past got their starts in this
manner
John Hay was one. He served as as
sistant private secretary to President
Lincoln from 1861 to 1868. Then fol-
lowed long and brilliant career in the
diplomatic service.
In 1879 Hay was appointed Assistant
Secretary of State. In 1898 President
Mckinley made him his Secretary of
State.
When Grover Cleveland was Governor
of New York he had as his secretary
Daniel S. Lamont. When he was elect
ed President he brought Lamont to
Washington as his secretary. In Cleve
lands second administration this same
Lamont was given the post of Secre-
tary of War.
Perhaps the most outstanding exam
pie, with the exception Of John Hay
is that of George Bruce Cortelyou. n

Old Hermit's Christmas.
BETTY WONDERS.


~ ETTY SOUTHWORTH was, for
l. the most part, quiet little
girl: but she kept her ears open
IL and knew great deal of what
was going on in her part of the
world Sometimes her parents said
things to each other which were not
especially intended for her; but even if
she was curled up by the fires!de, read
ing a book, it was likely that she would
hear most of the words spoken in the
room.
The evening of the day on which
Betty had heard her mother ask to be
connected with Winnipeg by telephone
Betty was reading while Mr.. and Mrs.
SouthWorth we're speaking Their voices
we're pitched rather low. but at one
point Mrs Soathworth said something
about his SON. which was loud enough
for any one to hear.
Betty wondered whose son they were
talking about. but she was not destined
to be told that evening. She thought
for a moment that it might be the lost
son of he Old Hermit, and the same
thought came to her the next morning
when she paid visit to the home of
her grandfather, fine old man with
snow-W white hair.
Betty opened her talk with her grand
father by saying. You remember l told
you the story about the Old Hermit and
the avalanche?"
