he has had several conferences with

the bill repealing the salary of the
Secretary of State and reducing it to
the sum paid before the salary increase
was made. Mr. Taft has not doubted
tho willingness of Congress to make
this concession but he lias feared that
Mr. Knox might feel i ailed upon to
withdraw to avoid unpleasant criticism.
After tho conference J'uosday though
it was stated positively that Mr Knox
would accept the portfolio and it is

Source of Poison Dangers.
The action of focus and liquors on
their receptacles may produce deadly
poisons. Acid fruits cooked in copper
or zinc pots arc a particular source of
danger. A man who was taken 111 in
the hunting field with symptoms of
mineral poisoning learned that tho lino
old brandy ho carried In his back
pocket had dissolved some of thocop
por in the sterling nilver flasks.

"little mother" possibilities In him,
and ho Is an Indifferent nurse; thoro
foro, In many tenement families, tho
Dirt li of n daughter as tho first child
Is preferred.
That Is one of tho drawbacks about
being nn elder sister She Is too han
dy to have around thu house. She
becomes the maid of all work. Wo
know of several charming women,
now well along In splustorhood, whoso
destiny unfulfilled may bo charged to
tho fact that they were elder Bisters.
They were always nursing babies
somebody else's babies. Tho cares of
the household descended on them pre
maturely, and their old-fashioned
ways, the sobering marks of respon
sibility In face and manner, lessened
their appeal to the captious and rov
ing fancy of young men. To tho han
dicap of diminished opportunity was
added tho handicap of diminished
charm.
It Is well, then, for a girl to have
an older brother. It Is not always for
tunato for hor to havo two or threo
younger sisters. Humanity's natural
sense, of justlco hns long discerned
this. Jacob, If you rcmombor, had to
tako Leah to wffo beforo ho va3 nl
lowed to espouso hor younger sister,
Rebecca. Tho feeling, very marked
among tho Jews mid sometimes stereo
typed Into a custom, has strength
among all peoples. In return for an
elder sister's sacrifices, tho family
sonBo of fair play requires that her
voungcr sisters Bhnll not becomo her
'ompctltors. They aro expected to
3tand nsldo, to remain In tho back
ground, until slio has had a chance to
annex a man.
Sometimes pretty often, Indood
tho event shows that tho younger sis
ter has not kopt far enough In. tho
background. Tho captious and roving
fancy or tho elder sister's "steady" is
attracted by tho' vision of frc3hcr
charms In tho samo family circle, nnd
woman's Invlnclhlo foe, youth, strikes
her down through tho arm of a daugh
ter of tho sanio mother. Probably
ton thousand novels and plays have
been written about this thomo -tho
characteristic themo of "Cinderella"
and apparently most of them havo
seon tho light In England. Tho riv
alry of sisters seems to be moro defi
nite and oveit thoro than oluowhero.
"Shall tho elder sister rulo?" then, Is
at all times a llvo and poignant Issuo.
Tho i licll.'( a of the yotingnr ono
ngj'lnst a rulo rcquesented tta tyran
nical Is often a sympathetic oplsodo,
and soniotlmes the oldest daughter has
a gi'iioiul popularity as slight as a
stepmother's. Tho suitor, at any rato,
will not havo tegard for tho claims of
primogeniture unless they aro re-enforced
by dowry discrimination and
ho Is a tamo lover who will lot tho
uilo "first come, first sorved" deter
mlno his cholco of a wlfo. Still, ad
mitting numerous exceptions, tho rulo
is a good one, as applied to sisters.
