Where the President Buys His Coffee
A GROCERY merchant way down off
tho beaten track of Pennsylvania
nvenuo now has the exclusive privil
ege of furnishing coffee for the head
of the nation, and the way It hap
pened was this:
One day the president was looking
down from tho terrace of tho White
House when n wagon drew up to de
liver somo eatables. Across the sides,
painted in gorgeous red, was the leg
end: "We Rost Our Own Coffee."
Tho chief executive was tremendously
tntoreoted, and everybody In the White
House at tho particular juncture was
called out on the terrace to seo how
tho grocerymen of Washington wore
following tho exalted ruler in the mat
tor of phonetic spelling.
Not satisfied with admiring the way
tho merchant had of advertising his
wares, tho president called up on tho
James Bryce a New
ir'N
TIIE man who comes nftor James
Rryco to represent IiIb llrltannlc
majesty will have a hard rolo to 1111.
Tho mighty wall of reserve which a
wholo generation of Hrltlshors had
built around the mission to Washing
ton has crumbled into nothing. Mr.
Dryco moves on foot and with tho
crowd. Ho knows moro people In
Washington, Now York and other
largo cities whero ho visits frequently
than tho majority of tho natives. For
- 11 ,nan l,nst th0 ttod "Se, 70 years,
ho is amazingly energetic.

Last Hours in House
from the lobby Into the center Isle,
and gaining in numbers as they went
on centered about the speaker's table.
Although It was a little after nine
o'clock, "Undo Joe"- allowed his gavel
to rest untouched, and seemed to bo
willing that this harmless species of
disorder should prevail, while he
beamed benignant iy on the joyful
throng. The singers were led by Rep
resentative Dwlght, of New York,
who bore aloft a huge portrait of Mr.
Cannon,
Hefore the song had been finished
there were cries from all parts of the
chamber for a speech from the speak
er. Mr. Cannon responded brlofly.
When Mr. Cannon finished his speech
tho members Immediately began with
"Ho's a Jolly Good Fellow," and ran
their repertory from "My Old Ken
tucky Home," to "Tho Old Oaken
Hucket" In various keys and varia
tions. John Sharp Williams contrib
uted a raucous tenor, Champ Clark a
nasal barytone, Gen. Ulngham, the
veteran of congress, mumbled a hearty
bass, whllo the chorus made up in
lustiness what it may have lacked In
concerted effort and technique.
LaFollette Failed
Carter and Scott, acted as hosts to
Senator Stone and done their duty
nobly. Mr. Stone had been delegated
to aid Senator La Follotte In his fili
buster against the currency hill, but
when the time came for him to act he
was not present. Neither was the
presence of Carter or Scott noticed
on tho floor of tho senate. Several
dispensers of "glad water" say they
know where the trio spent the greater
part of the day.
Senator Gore lost the filibuster be
cause of his blindness. Some time be
fore he concluded Mr. Stone slipped
into a chair beside him and said he
was ready to take hold at any time.
Mr. Gore said: "All right," and be
lieved Mr. Stone was present when
he sat down. Instead, Mr. Stone was
taking a snooze In the Democratic
cloakroom.
Jeff Davis was also absent from the
senate. Ho had left Little Rock do
termlned to save the country, but got
lost somewhere on the route.
'phone nod expressed his npprccia
elation. He told the head of the firm
to send up a couple of pounds of that
coffee to see If the brand was as ex
cellent as the spelling. Of course the
merchant put on his best touches and
sent the brownest and most fragrant
Java and Mocha straightway to the
White House. The beverage ready to
serve was as lino as even the presi
dent had anticipated, so a permanent
order to furnish ten pounds a week
was left with this fortunate firm.
Rut the cream of the joke and one
which has not been explained to Mr.
Roosevelt was that tho painting of tho
sign was a mistake the work of an
old German sign artist who was not
particular about the way the letters
are strung together. The merchnnt
raised a great commotion when the
wagon returned with "rost" conspicu
ously on it. and it was to bo returned
tho next day for repairs. Now this
legend has been adopted as the trade
mark of the firm, and very likely a
miniature White House may be paint
ed on one side, ns the Brltlffiers do
when they have the oxcluslvo custom
of the reigning families for their com
modities. Style Ambassador
called on him. But Mr. Hryce Knew
that these heads of tho various com
monwealths camo to Washington on
other business bent. Ho comprehend
ed that his part was to becomo ac
quainted with so important a portion
of tho national machinery, and ho took
tho easiest means at hand and called
first. Many of tho governors found
time to .return tho visit. Others could
not. but thoy all mot James IJryco and
took his measuro just as ho took thelra.
Mr. Hryco has boon a revelation to
tho 8llk-hnt-kopt-in-a-bandbox kind of
diplomat 1st usually assigned to the
Washington mission. Ho has taken
a high ground, ami tho pace ho has sot
is not altogether pleasing to his col
leagues. Many of tho ambassadors
now In this country would cling to tho
old ways if thoy felt secure In so do
ing. Hut Mr. Hryco has revolutionized
tho service. Tho ambassadors cannot
draw the lino socially, oven politically.
Thoy must got In tho limelight, mako
speeches, glvo Intervlows, mingle with
the common herd. Shell men as can
not do this aro being called homo.
WISE CHE-ILD,
'That, horse must love his work,
uncle."
"Why so, Hubert?"
"He'i so attached to the wagon."
"Internal Revenue" Collections.
The term "Internal revenue" has
been restricted in Its meaning to audi
revenues only 'as arc collected under
the Internal revenue bureau con
nected with the treasury department,
and does not include all revenues that
are, properly speaking, from Internal
sources, that, is, from sources other
than duties levied at the frontiers
upon foreign commodities. Thus,
moneys arising from the sale of public
lands, from patent fees, or the reve
nues of the postal service, are not gen
erally known as "Internal revenues."
Severe Reproach.
"Charley, dear," said young Mrs.
Torkina, "I had a dream about a race
horso that won three times In succes
sion." "Great Scott," answered her hus
band, who has a touch of superstition;
"what was its name, what did it look
like?"
"I've done my best to remember, but
I can't.."
"That's the way! There never was
a woman who could be relied on to
keep her head in business matters!"
