CONFERS WITH CABINET AN Dei)artment Heads Declare They Kept Figures Down to Rock Bottom, but Executive Points Out Number of Places Where Pruning Knife Could Be Used to Advantage—River and Harbor Biil Carries $30,000,000. Washington, Nov. 30.—President Taft has informed his cabinet officers, after scrutinizing the final draft of the estimate of the various govern- ment departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1911, that there must be a further and deeper cut in them; that they will not do in their present form. In response to the urgent demands of the president the heads of the va- rious departments already had held their estimates down to what they considered rock bottom figures. The president, however, pointed out a number of places where he declared the pruning knife could be used to advantage. The president went into the details of each department. Mr. Taft believed he made considerable headway in hold- ing down expenditures for the current year, but he hopes to make a still greater stride toward economy in 1911. Parties to the Conference. Representative Alexander of New York, chairman of the house commit-; tee on rivers and harbors, and General Bixby, chief of engineers of the army, and the three District of Columbia commissioners participated in the con- ference. At its conclusion Mr. Alexander an- nounced that the rivers and harbors bill to be reported to congress at the coming session would carry approxi- mately $30,000,000 in appropriations and authorizations. Mr. Alexander said: “It will be difficult to find in the proposed bill any evidence of the so called ‘pork barrel’ or ‘dribbling pol- icy. It will be purely a business measure based upon the most careful work of the engineering department.” RESEMBLES THE THAW CASE Menioe Moore or Trial for Murder at Vinzennes, Ind. Vincennes, Tnd., Nov. 30.—With many features like the Thaw trial the Menloe Moore case began here. Moore, a local theatrical magnate, is charged with the murder of Edward C. Gibson at the Unipn station early on the morning of Oct. 3. Jealous because of the intimacy of his wife and Gibson, Moore fired five bullets into the back of the latter as he stood in the Union depot. Mocre’s defense will be the unwrit- ten law and insanity and, as in the case of Thaw, Mrs. Moore probably will take the stand in defense of her husband and, like Evelyn Thaw, will bare her iife to the scrutiny of the Jury. The case is exciting wide comment because of the prominence of the par- ties involved. The attorneys on both sildes are amorg the ablest in the state. SAFE AND TREASURE FOUND Money Stolen From Express Company Recovered. Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 30.—The iron safe containing $16,000 stolen from the sub-station of the Wells Fargo Express company here last Saturday night was found and all the money recovered. The safe, which was found under the porch of an abandoned house, had not been opened. O. F. Sensbaugh, W. H. Kelvey and F. O. Givens, who were arrested fol- lowing the disappearance of the safe, are being held. ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN New York State Unveils Monument to Her Fallen Heroes. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 30.—The handsome monument erected by the state of New York to the memory of her heroic sons who fought and died on the eminence of Lookout moun- tain during the famous “battle above the clouds” has been officially dedi- cated. The party from New York was headed by Governor White. Financial Reverses the Cause. Hastings, Neb., Nov. 30.—Will M. Reed, for nearly seventeen years a stock dealer in this neighborhood, committed suicide by shooting him- self. A few years ago he was worth $30,000, hut had recently sustained heavy losses. A letter to his brother recounted that he was in debt and in failing health. - Aged Educator Dead. Burlington, Vt., Nov. 30.—Matthew Henry Buckham, for thirty-nine years president of the University of Ver- mont, is dead of bronchial tromble after an illness of only a few days He was seventy-eight years old. : Amending His Constitution.

Salt Water Cataracts. There are a good many salt water cataracts in existence. They may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow fiords, or arms of the sea, are obstructed by barriers of rock. The rising tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirs beyond, but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible torrent. Most curious of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas- sage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia main- fand. Here the flood tide from the gulf of Georgin to the southward is held back at a narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in a boiling cascade eighteen feet high with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide. how- ever, the waters from the north rush back into the gulf, producing a cas- cade of equal height and volume. The waterfall actually flows both ways. In the Spring. The country schoolteacher had been telling her scholars about the seasons and their peculiarities, and to impress their minds with the facts she ques- tioned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put, and finally she reached the stupid boy in the corner. “Well, Johnny,” she said, ““have you been paying attention?" “Yes’m,” he answered promptly. “Pm glad to hear it. Now, ®an you tell me.what there is in the spring?” “Yes'm, 1 can, but I don’t want to.” “Oh, yes. you do. Don’t be afraid. You have heard the others. Be a good Yoy, now, and tell us what there is in the spring.” “W’y—w'y—mum, - there’s a frog an’ a lizard an’ a dead cat in it, but I didn’t put 'em there. It was another boy, for I seen him do it.”—Exchange. Sending a Man to Coventry. The expression *“sending to Coven- try” had a military origin. It arose, so it is-said, in the days of Charles 1., when the inhabitants of Coventry strong!y objected to any intercourse with the military quartered ip their town, and a woman known to speak to 2 manTn a scarlet cloak was at once the subject of scandal. Sa rigid were the natives that the soldier was con- fined to the mess room for conversa- tion. Thus the term *'sending a man to Coventry” if you wished to shut him from society took root in the English language.—London Chronicle. Distances at Sea. That man was laughed at who on his first voyage said that the ocean did not look so large as he supposed it would, but he was not alone in expe- riencing disappointment. The horizon at sea gives no idea of the limitless water beyond. A sea captain declares that the average landsman cannot see more than ten miles from the ship in any direction, and it would have to be a mountain or some stationary object for him to be able to distinguish it. The Free Riders. “A good many people get on this earth who aren’t worth the room they take up,” said the cynical sociologist. “Yes,” replied the eminent astrono- mer. “It’s a good thing for many of us that we are not obliged to get aboard this whirling planet on a pay as you enter basis.”—Washington Star.

The original dress of the highlander || was the belted plaid. This was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad. and four long, which was drawn around || the waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a belt. The lower part came down to the knees in much the same manner as the modern kilt, hile the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly 1 free. This-upper part was the.plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders and body ih wet weuther, and when the use of both arms was required it was fastened across the breast with a brooch, often curiously enriched. A brooch’was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To.attire himself in the belted plaid required on the part of the highlander no small amount of dexterity. The usual way was to lay it on the floor and after carefully arranging the folds to lie down upon it and then buckle it on. The lower end was fas- tened at_the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands is ob- vious, for the plaid rendered the man indifferent to stcrms and prepared to pass a night in the open®air in the most inclement weather, while the loose undergarment enabled him .to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal ease. It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior. the hunter and the shepherd.—London Mail. SHE LOVED SNUFF. Remarkable Will and Funeral of a Queer Englishwoman. The will of Mrs. Margaret Thomp- son, which is preserved as a curiosity at Somerset House, England, is a trib- ute to the delights and consolations of snuff. The testatrix directed that in her coffin should be buried with her ali her handkerchiefs and sufficient of the best Scotch snuff to cover her body. This she preferred to flowers, as “noth- ing could be more fragrant and so re- freshing to me as that precious pow- der.” Further, the six greatest snuff takers in the parish of St. James, ‘Westminster, were to be her bearers. Six old maids, each bearing in her hand a box filled with the best Scotch snuff to take for their vefreshment as they walked, were to bear the pall Before the corpse the minister was to walk, carrying and partaking of a pound of snuff. At every twenty yards a handful of snuff was to be delivered to the bystanders, and at the door of the testatrix’s house were to be placed two bushels of the same quality of snuff for gratuitous distribution. In order to insure the carrying out of her wishes the testatrix made the legacies glve by the will dependent upon an exact and literal fulfillment .of the conditions above named. In closing she bade all concerned to regard snuff as the grand cordial of nature.

You are still in debt—and the debt can never be adéquately repaid. Forty years ago the Retailer had no idea who made the goods which he sold over his counter. If his customers grew dissatisfied with an article which he bought from Jobber “X” at 50c, he probably would buy the same identical goods from Jobber “Y” at 60c. The Jobber Bought as low as he could—and sold for all he could get. The Retailer bought on suspicion and so d for whatever his customers would stand. In those days the Manufacturer’s guarantee was practically unknown and the . Dictionary was the only place where the word “Trade-Mark” meant anything. If your competitor—who stocked an inferior line—told one of your customers he had the same goods as you did, but would sell them at alower price, he got away with it. There was no mark on the selvage or no Maaufacturer's name on the package to show him up—and you lost a customer. Then came the day of Trade-Iarked, Advertised Goods. People were taught by bitter experience that goods not Trad -Marked were poor things to buy, and worse things to wear, or eat, or brush their teeth with. . Under the new conditions the Retailer had the power to suit his stock exactly to the requirements of hiscustomers. If they didn’tlike goods made by Manufacturer Smith, he bought goods maie by Manufacturer Johnson. Nowadays, if a competitor sold a customer of yours, “the same goods for half the price,” said customer would look for.the Trade-Mark— and tell him where to go. You now know just what you should pay——no matter where you buy. You get what you ask for— and ‘get -goods of uniform quality. The Advertised Trade-Mark has made the Retailer a Merchant and not a shop- - keeper. He buys-goods when, where, and: of the quality he pleases. He can demand the facts—and get them. obsolete terms. Thus ‘‘shelf ornaments” and “impositions” are becoming Those readers long enough in business to remember the old conditions know that I am dealingin facts—FACTS. ° . To those readers iortunate”eno‘ugh to have started business under the new regime, 1 ray, think it over==and have a kindly word for the salesmen behind whom stand the Manufactcrers of Trade-Marked, Adaertised Goods. .
