William Loeb the presidents private
secretary who may retire and become
a railway president next winter has
been trying to insure Mr Roosevelfs
protection against people who would
take his time during the vacation sea

forcing a rule that
all callers at the
summer capital at
Oyster Bay must
state their errand
in writing The sys

well so far as giv

lite but firm statement that the pres
ident is unable to see him and many
a visitor of this kind has returned to
his constituents and explained his fail
ure to obtain an interview with the
nations executive by saying
Roosevelt really wanted to see me
but Loeb wouldnt let him
As a poetic genius put it in the col
umns of the New York American
The journey of the worthy but impracti
cable soul
Is short and sharply halted just outside
his longed for goal
Whatever is his object Loebs ready there
to blight It
Which he does by simply saying Stay
outside and write it
It is currently reported that Mr Loeb
will cease to be the presidents private
secretary about the 1st of next De
cember and will then become a pres
ident himself president of the Wash
ington Railway aud Electric company
It was reported a short time ago
that Frank n Hitchcock first assist
ant postmaster general would soon
succeed William Loeb as private sec
retary to President Roosevelt Post
master General Meyer subsequently de
nied that Mr Hitchcock was expecting
to leave his department It is known
however that Mr
Hitchcock occupies
especially confiden
tial relations with
Mr Roosevelt and
the latter has in
trusted him with the
execution of various
important political
missions Postmas
ter General Meyers
first assistant while
reserved cautious
and prudent is a
man of pleasing
manners tact and
considerable ability
as a political ob
server and manager
Mr Hitchcock was born in Amherst
O in 1SG7 and is a Harvard graduate
He has been in the government service
since 1SD1 He has a reputation as a
very hard worker Mr Hitchcock ac
cording to the records has worked
from 9 a in until midnight for three
years his only vacation in this time
consisting of two days to vote Sev
eral members of his clerical staff have
dropped bj the wayside in the effort
to keep up with him and he is known
In the department as the perpetual
motion discoverer One day a west
ern senator In a hurry to reach the
capital dropped by the department and
nsked the watchman In charge If he
thought Mr Hitchcock would be at 1
the department after 430 oclock
Four thirty exolalmed the watch
man Why youll find this place open
until midnight every day In the year
Great Scott Aud a government de
partment exclaimed the senator
The story of how Irving Bacheller
won success may Interest the reading
public In general and young authors in
particular Mr Bacheller had passed
some active years as a journalist and

had already two
books to his credit
neither of which
had been especial
ly successful
when one day a
friend said to him
If you could only
put the human in
terest you get in
your poems and
sketches into a
book of fiction
along the same
general lines
youd make a big
HIVING UACHELLEK
s u c c e S S Mr
Bacheller pondered over this advice
and the next summer he wrote a novel
on the same general lines The re
sult was Eben Holden which it is
estimated lias been read by over 3U0O
000 people in the United States
Since then everything he has written
has had a wide sale although his re
cent novel Silas Strong because it
is most closely akin to Eben Holden
has been the most popular of the books
which have appeared since his first
great success
Elinor Glyn who has recently pub
lished a work whose morality has been
much questioned by censors of litera
ture is brilliant and original even if
daring In her frank treatment of cer
tain themes One who recently saw
the author of The
Vicissitudes of
Evangeline in Lon
don described her
thus
She has a very
strange personality
one which arrests
the attention the
minute she enters a
room And this is
not altogether due
to her appearance
She is tall and slen
der and generally
dresses in black
which enhances the
intense whiteness
ELISOR GLYN
of her skin and the glorious copper of
her hair But what makes one stop
and wonder are her curious green
eyes which look out at you from under
straight black eyebrows in a way al
most uncanny She is not a type
which every one would admire but
there is something so arresting that
having looked once one must look
again Apart from this she has that
strange magnetic quality which at
tracts one in spite of everything
Mrs Phelps Stokes in an address in
New York said of the servant ques
tion
Are there not too many mistresses
who treat their servants as the lady
did in buying eggs This lady entered
a shop and said
Have you eggs
Yes madam said the shopman
Well said the lady I want a
dozen absolutely fresh eggs for myself
and she touched the arm of her maid
who stood beside her a half dozen
not quite so fresh for my maid here
Rev Dr James Roscoe Day chan
cellor of Syracuse university is said to
be writing a book in which he will re
ply to all his critics The chancellor
has many critics being one of the most
outspoken men in America His views
on the president corporations and oth
er matters as expressed in vigorous
English from time to time have made
him a national figure One of his most
recent utterances was a severe arraign
ment of President Roosevelt on ac
count of the latters attitude in rela

fends the trusts and
holds that the ad-

Day was born on a farm in Maine and
had to hoe his own row to success in

bering camps as a young man study

church
Three years ago the general confer

Angeles elected Dr Day a bishop The
students of Syracuse university believ

Oh day of wrath that dreadful day
Then came word that the chancellor

EDUCATING WILLIAM
His Mother-in-law Tells His Wife tin
Subtle Process
ne isnt stingy declared the young
woman rather Indignantly Im sure
hes as generous as he can bo in most
1 things but
Oh I know said the elder woman
1 Your father used to be a great deal
the same way
Pa exclaimed the young woman
Until he got educated said the
elder woman I had to educate him
of course and youll have to educate
William Arguing isnt any use
I know said the young woman sad
ly Ive tried it
And crying isnt -my use said the
elder with some severity
The young woman blushed and
glanced hastily at a mirror that hung
on the wall
No your eyes arent red said the
elderly woman reassuringly but you
have been crying and I tell you it
wont do and coaxing wont work one
time In a dozen
Then how
Use your common sense There are
lots of ways Take him to shop with
you the next time you go Thats one
pretty good way of making him realize
that a woiian cant dress on nothing
The young woman shook her head
You dont know William as well as I
do she said Id be Avorse off than
ever and besides he wouldnt go
Oh yes he would said the elderly
woman confidently He will if you
manage him properly You tell some
woman friend what exquisite taste he
has when hes around and notice how
hell begin to swell up I never knew
the man who didnt believe that he
knew more abort what was becoming
to a woman than she did herself Then
follow that up bv akuig him to help
you select a hit Hell do if fast
enough if on can mike bin reilly be
lieve you Iepond on his judgment
But mother
I sup iosc you think hell pick out
some five dollar horror or something
that doesnt suit you at all
Im afraid he would
Well he wouldnt You begin by
wanting him to go to some dollar and
ninety eight millinery store and watch
him rebel Look In at the window and
comment favorably on one or two of
the shapes If you cant do anything
else especially if some other people
are standing by looking in Hell in
sist on your going to some decent
place Dont take him to Elise though
Go any place where theres a fairly
good assortment but not where they
take 30 hats as a matter of course
All youve got to do Is to pick out an
Intelligent saleswoman and insist on
something inexpensive If she brings
you anything over 8 say Oh dear
no I cant afford to pay that price
I dont see
Well you will Youll see that hell
Insist on seeing something better and
youll see that hell be about as help
less as a babe between you and the
saleswoman and hell see that the only
way he can assert himself Is to urge
you not to consider expense Dont
tell me he wont I know em You
can have any hat you want and hell
go out of the store under the impres
sion that he selected it And you dont
want to disabuse his mind either Tell
him that you think the hat Is perfectly
charming and you are afraid he has
been extravagant and the one at 11
would have done just as well See if
he doesnt tell you that its economy
in the long run to get a good thing and
that you will get more than 5 worth
of satisfaction out of the difference in
the price But dont ever let him con
vince you
Why not
Because it wouldnt do But dont
fail to tell him how your friends raved
about the hat and how surprised they
seemed when you told them it was his
choice and how they said they would
hate to have their husbands pick out
a hat for them and how you thought
so too but didnt say it and mention
casually as the thing goes on to any
company you have that you always let
William select your hats on account of
his exquisite taste the only drawback
being his criminal disregard of price
Same thing applies to gowns or any
thing else
But it would be awful to have to be
everlastingly taking him around
You wont have to said the elderly
woman Dont you worry about that
Hell get tired after the first few times
and let you get what you want yor
self But you wont hear any mo
talk about your extravagance Hell
have got his horizon extended But
dont on any account let him lose his
own good opinion of his taste
It seems a little deceptive said the
young woman but I almost believe
Ill try it Chicago News
A Greedy Little Fish
The little fish known as millers
thumb the fresh water sculpln is one
of the natural checks on the overpro
duction of trout and salmon It eats
the eggs and the young fish It is
found in nearly all trout waters It
is very destructive At an experiment
once made in the aquarium of the
United States fish commission in Wash
ington a millers thumb about four and
one half inches long ate at a single
meal and all within a minute or two
twenty one little trout each from three
quarters of an inch to an inch in
length
A Chestnut
Ralph Waldo Emerson once told of a
friend who always carried in his pock
et a horse chestnut as a protection
against rheumatism just as other peo
ple wear shields and other specifics
Emerson thus testifies to the results
in his friends case He has never had
the rheumatism since he began to carry
it and indeed It appears to have had
a retrospective operation for he never
had it before
