"Shaw," sulci a cabinet nflirer, "was one of the mysteries of the Roosevelt administration. From the time he be came secretary of the treasury until ho went Into the hanking business we were unable to deride whether he was a second Russell Sage in the matter of personal expenditures. I ran across Shaw In a big western city, and for the salte of spending a pleasant eve ning together we got a suite of rooms at the same hotel. "At lunch time I proposed that we go down to the dining room, but Mr. Shaw could not be Induced. He si-id he thought he would eat In his room. Thereupon the secretary of the treas tiry opened up his traveling bag and extracted a couple of apples. He of fered me one, but I declined and hastened to the restaurant.

Salzer Seed Co., 1S2 S. 8th St., La Crosse, Wia Give a Woman a Chance. Compulse' y military service for men, urges a German female advocate of women's rights, should be offset by compulsory domestic service for wom en. On the theory that life in bar rack and drill in the manual of arms have benefitted German manhood, she asks, why will not life in the kitchen and exercise in the use of pots and pans similarly raise German woman hood! If Germany ever organzes a stand ing army of cooks it may force all Europe to follow its lead. Culinary conscription is a severe measure, but when enforced in Germany other na tions niiht be expected to adopt It. There would be more reason 'n doing so than in following Germany's lead In militarism. There is more real need of cooks the world over than of soldiers. It is possible to get along without fighting, but not without eat ing. Fighting Tuberculosis In Hungary. The anti-tuberculosis movement was started in 1894, and in 1S9S there were five institutions for the treat ment of consumption. Today the cam paign is encouraged and financed by the government, and over 200 different agencies are engaged in the fight. A permanent tuberculosis musuetn has been established at Budapest and a carefully conducted campaign of edu cation is being carried on. Tasted Good.

It is small and dark, with six little polished tables, at which you may sit and drink the best coffee In New Orleans, and con coctions of nhxint'ne equal to Saze rac's best. Madame Tibault. fat and Indulgent, presides at the desk, and takes your money. Nleoliette and Memo, madame's neices, in charming bib aprons, bring the desirable bev erages. Pumars, with true Creole luxury, was sipping his absinthe, with half closed eyes, in a swirl of cigarette smoke. Kobblns was looking over the morning 1'ie., detecting, as young re porters will,, the gross blunders in the make-up, and the envious blue penciling his own stuff had received. hls item, in the advertising columns, caught Ills eye, and with an exclama tion of sudden interest he read It aloud to his friend: "PUBLIC AUCTION At 3 o'clock this afternoon there will bo sold to the highest bidder all the common property of the Little Sisters of Sa maria, at the home of the Sisterhood, In Bonhommo street. The sale will dispose of the building, ground and the complete furnishings of the house and chapel, without reserve." This notlee stirred the two friends to a reminiscent talk concerning an episode In their journalistic: career that had occurred about two years before. They recalled the Incidents, went over the old theories, and dis cussed it anew, from the different perspective time had brought. There were no other customers in the cafe. Madame's fine ear had caught the line of their talk, and she came over to their table for had it not been her lost money her van ished twenty thousand dollars that had set the whole matter going? The three took up the long-abandoned mystery, threshing over the old, dry chaff of it. It was in the chapel of this house of the Little Sisters of Samaria that Robblns and Dumars had stood during that eager, fruitless news search of theirs, and looked upon the gilded statue of the Virgin. "Thass so, boys," said madame, Bumming up. "Thass ver' wicked man, M'sleur Morin. Everybody shall be cert' he steal those money I plaze in bis hand for keep safe. Yes. He's boun' spend that money, somehow." Madame turned a broad and compre hensive smile upon Dumars. "I ond' Btand you, M'sleur Dumars, those day you come ask me fo' tell ev'ythlng 1 know 'bout M'sleur Morin. Ah! yes, I know most time when those men lose money you say, 'Cherchez la femme' there Is somewhere the wo man. Hut not for M'sleur Morin. No, boys. Ilefore he shall die, he Is like one saint. You might's well, M'sleur Dumars, go try find those money In those statue of Virgin Mary that M'sleur Morin present at those p'tite eoeurs, as try find one femme." At Madame Tibault's last words, Robblns started slightly and cast a keen, sidelong glance at Dumars. The Creole sat. unmoved, dreamily watching the spirals of his cigarette Bmol.e. It was then 9 o'clock in the morn ing, and, a few minutes later, the two friends separated, going different ways to their day's duties. And now follows the brief story of Madame Tibault's vanished thousands. New Orleans will readily recall to mind the circumstances attendant upon the death of Mr. Gaspard Morin, tn that city. Mr. Morin was an ar tistic goldsmith and jeweler, in the old French qnarter, and a man held tn the highest esteem. He belonged to one of the oldest French families, and was of some distinction as an antiquary and historian. He was a bachelor, about fifty years of age. He lived In quiet comfort, at one of those raie old hostelries street. He was found in one morning, dead from In Royal his rooms unknown causes. When his affairs came to bo looked into, it was found that he was prac tically insolvent, his stork of goods and personal property barely -but nearly enough to fre.i him from cen-Hiire- -covering his liabilities Fol lowing, came the dl'ii-lusure that tie had b'-en intrusted villi the sum of twenty thousand dollars by a former servant In the Morin family, one Ma dame Tibault. which she had received as a legacy from relatives in F'anre The most searching scrutiny by friends and the legal authorities failed to reveal the di position of the money. It had vanished, and left no trace. Some weeks before lis ilenth, Mr. Morin had drawn the entire amount, In gold coin, from the bank where It hud been placed while he looked about the toll Madame Tl bault l for a safe Investment. There fore. Mr. Morln's memory seemed doomed to b ar the cloud of dishon psty, while Madame w :i of course, disi onsolate Then It was that iinhhin. mat-, repreesitticg their r Journal;;, began one uf tuoio ind Dti--perthe pt?i tiua- clous private Investigations which, of late years, the press has adopted ha a means to glory and tie nth faction of public curiosity "Cherchez la femme.

They exhuustcd the knowledge of thi staff of Mr Morln's l.o'el. from t'j ) Ixdl boy dow n to the proprietor. liy O. IlEMtt' J U-e oiik.'.uiti Co.) F'ley gently, but Intlexibly, pumped the family of the deceased as far as his cousins twice removed. They art fully fionndi d the oMiploye of the late Jouele:', ami diL'i'd lis custom ers for Information concc'nlng his habits. I.Ike bloodhounds, they traced every step of the supposed defaulter, as nearly as might be, for years along the limited and monotonous paths ho had trodden. At the end of their labors. Mr. Morin stood, an Immaculate man. Not ope weakness that might be served up as a criminal tendency, not one deviation from the path of recti tude, not even a hint of a predilection for the opposite sex, was found to tie placed to Ms debit. His life had been as regular ad austere as a monk's; his habits, simple and uncon eeab d. Onerous, charitable, and a model in propriety, was the verdict of all who knew him. "What now?" asked Knbbins, linger ing his empty notebook "Cherchez la femme." said Dumars, lighting n cigarette "Try Lady Hell airs." This piece of femininity was the racetrack favorite of the season. Be ing feminine, she was erratic In her gaits, and there were a few heavy losers about town who had believed she could be true. The reporters ap plied for information. Mr. Morin? Certainly not. Ho was never been a spectator at the races. Not that kind of a man Surprised the gentlemen should ask. "Shall we throw It up?" suggested Robblns, "and let the puzzle depart ment have a try?" "Cherchez la femme," hummed Du mars. reaching for a match. "Try the Little Sisters of What d'you call-'em." It had developed, (luring the Inves tigation, that Mr. Morin had held this benevolent order In particular favor. Ho had contributed liberally toward its support, and had chosen Its chapel as his favorite place of private wor ship. It was paid that he went there daily to make his devotions at the frr&sm mu "la This a Grimm's Fairy Tale, or altar. Indeed, toward the last of his life his whole mind seemed to have fixed Itself upon religious matters, perhaps to the detriment of his world ly affairs. Thither went Robbins and Dumars, and were admitted through the nar row doorway in the blnnk stone wall that frowned upon Honhomme street. An old woman was sweeping tho chapel. She told them that Sister Felicite, the head of the order, was then at prayer at the altar In the al cove. In a few moments she would emerge. Heavy, black curtains screened the alcove. They waited. Soon the curtains wer- disturbed, and Sister Felicite came forth. She was tall, tragic, bony and plain-featured, dressed In the black gown and revere bonnet of the sisterhood Robblns. a good rough-and tumble reporter, but linking the delicate touch, began to speak. They represented the press. The lady had. no doubt, heard of the Morin affair. It was neresnry. In justice to that gentleman's memory, to probe the mystery of the In I money It u-t;i known that he had come often to this chapel.

Sister l'elicite drew back tho curtain, and the reporters departed On the narrow stone sidewalk of Honhomme street, Itobhins turned to Dumars, with unworthy sarcasm "Well, what next? Churchy law fern?" "Absinthe," said Dumars. With the history of the missing money thus partially related, some conjecture may be formed of the tiddtn idea that M'..l..ine Tibault's words seemed to have suggested to Robbins' brain Wns it so wild a surmise- that the religious fanatic had offered up his wealth- or, rather, Madame Tibault's i in the shape of a material symbol ! of his consuming devotion? Stranger i things have 1mcii done In the name of worship. Was it not po.-sible that i the lost thousands were molded Into I that lustrous Image? That the gold i smith had formed It of the pure and ' precious metal, and set it there. through some hope of a perhaps dis ! ordered brain to propitiate the saints. and pave the way to his own selfish glory? That afternoon, nt live minutes to three. Robblns entered the chapel door of the Little Sisters of Samaria. He saw, in the dim light, a crowd of perhaps a hundred people gathered to attend the sale. Most of them w ere members of various religious r I tiers, priests and churchmen, come to ! purchase the paraphernalia of the chapel, lest they fail Into desecrating hands. Others were business men and agents come to bid upon the real- i:M!i::iri!.v,;7c,V.V'll mt Should I Consult an Oculist?" ty. A clerical looking brother hud volunteered to wield the hammer, bringing to the olllce of auctioneer the anomaly of choice diction and dig nity of manner. A few of the minor art h ies were sold, and then two assistants brought forward tho image of the Virgin. Robblns started the bidding at ten tlollars. A stout man, In an ecclesias tical garb, went to fifteen. A volte from another part of the crowd raised to twenty. The three bid alternately, raising by bids of five, until the offer was tlfty dollars. Then the stout man dropped out., and Robblns, as a sort of coup do main, went to a hundred. "One hundred and lirty," snld tho other voice. "Two hundred," bid Robblns, boldly. "Two fifty," called his competitor, promptly. The reporter hesitated for the cpaee of a lightning Hash, estimating low-much he could borrow from the boys In the olllce, and screw from tho business manager Irom hh; next mouth's salary. "Threo hundred," ho often tl. "Three -fifty," spoke up the other, in a louder voice a voic e thai n nt Kobblns diving suddenly throne, h the crowd in its direction, to catch Du mars, its owner, ferociously by the collar "You unconverted idiot!" hissed Robbins, t lu.-o to hh, ear --"pool !

Together they w:iik cl moodily to the cafe of Madame Tibault, two squares away.

In twe comfortable arm chairs, by a big Indow that opened upon the courtyard, she placed them, with a low table between Hustling hospitably nbout, she began to pre pnre the promised refreshments. It was the first time tho reporters had been honored with admission to tho sacred precincts. The room was In dusky twilight, flecked with glenms of tho polished, line woods and bur nished glass and metal that the Cre oles love. From the little courtyard a tiny fountain sent In an insinuat ing sound of trlck'lng waters, to which a banana plant - the window kept time with Its tremulous leaves. Robblns, an Investigator by nature, sent a curious glance roving about tho room. From som barbaric ancestor, madame had Inherited a penchant for tho crudo In decoration. The wallB were adorned with cheap lithographs florid libels upon nature, addressed to the taste of the hour geoise birthday cards, gnrnlsh news paper supplements and specimens of art-advertising calculated to reduce the optic nerve to stunned submis sion. A patch of something unlntelll elide in the midst of tho more candid display puzzled Robblns anil he rose and took a step nearer, to lnte-rrogate it at closer range. Then he leaned wenkly against the wall, and called out: "Madame Tibault! O, madame! Since when oh! since, when have you been In the habit of papering your walls with five thousand dollar United States four per cent, gold bond? Tell me Is this a Grimm's fair tale, or should I consult an ocu list?" At his words. Madame Tibault and Dumars approached. "H'what you say?" said madame, cheerily. "H'what you say. M'sleur Robbln?'
