Taking his seat at the right of Washington he was face to face across the cabinet table with Alexander -Hamilton, . the | secretary of the treasury. By nature and training fhe two were as opposite in théir poiltical opinions as in- their ohairs, and ' they found themselves, as Jefferson ‘said, “pitted like fighting cocks.” As they fought and the fenthers flew a great crowd collected behind each to urge on fts favoriate in that cocking main over which Washington had the unhappi- ness to preside.

Tomorrow—A Man Afraid. Stories That Recall Dthers. Wanted It More Sentimental. A lawyer given to using big words has been bringing up his nine year old son jn the same way.- He reproves the boy for not using “significant words.” The result is that the young- ster has formed the habit of watch- ing for lo words and then spring- ing them his. parents. The other afternoon he was at his father's office when that worthy was giving order’ to his stenographer abput a new arrangement of the. of- fice. " “No matter, what it costs,” he ended, ‘“things have to be arranged so that we can work more systemati- cally around here.” Impressed by the speech and the new order, the son told his méther when he went haome about -the changes. “Mother, dad is going to fix his office over,” he confided, “He said it didn’t matter how much it cost if it was only so that they could be ——," he hesitated a minute, studied and then ended triumphantly, “more sentimental around there.” Couldn’t Work Without Tools.

Thord-Gray, a former offi- cer of the British, Canadian and All- Russian armies, just returned from Viadivostok. Trotzky, he said, addressing the prisoners ‘as “comrades,” said they would be welcomed by the red army if they cared to join. Captive officers, he said, who wanted to return to Kolchak would be given safe escort and 2,000 rubles each. A number of the prison- ere accepted the offer and, returning 10 their own lines, told what Trotzky had dome; Within' two weeks, General Therd-Gray said, Kolchak had practi- call; no army and a few months later was executed. General Thord-Gray went to Siberia with a Canadian expedition and was taken prisoner by the bolsheviki when they captured Viadivostok. Before leaving, two attempts, he eaid, were made to assassisnate him. Toward the last, he said, the bol- #revik troops showed better. morale than Kolchalk's men. They also had one machine gun for every 20 men, he said, whereas the Kolchak army had only three with every battalian, almost 600 men. During the retreat of the Kclchak army, a 2,000 mile retirement, taey were driven before machine guns but seldom before rifie fire. General Sakharoff, the All-Russian war min- Ister and’ chief of staff, he sald, “lost the army at Omsk without a fight.” OTHER VIEW POINTS A noticeable characteristic of the statement made by the New Departure Manufacturing company is the as- | sumption that it is entitled to special consideration because it is the largest taxpayer in the city.

The return of a year which leaps forward a day, bringing to them a privilege ; monopolized by man three years out of four, has no significance for women of many lands, since they enjoy that lib- erty all thé time,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic society issued from its Washington headquarters. “The women of no race possess more freedom in this matter than the Hopi Indians of Arizona,” the bulletin continues. “A maiden does not woo the man of her choice, but simply and forcibly states her proposition to his mother without any encouragement on his part. Her only preliminary pro- ceeding is to do her hair in two gigan- tic_whorls, one over each ear. This is her announcement that she is going a-courting. These peculiar knots are intended to represent the blossoms of a squash vine, symbol of virginity, but to those untutored in their meaning they resemble huge door knobs set at a rather violent angle.
