Beginning at Home.?The late Governor
Larrabee, the Grand Old Man of
Iowa, was extremely fond of children,
says the Saturday Evening Post.
One day, while looking over his mill
at Turkey river, he found an urchin,
dirty and ragged, sound asleep near the
waterwheel. The boy was Mickey
Burke, son of a poor family in the 1
neighborhood. I
The governor asked the boy why he (
was so dirty and ragged. The boy explained
his mother had a large family '
and had to work hard and could get
him no better clothes. i
"But you can keep clean," exhorted ,
Larrabee. "You could wash your face
and hands if you wanted to. That costs
nothing." <
Mickey said he would try. 5
"Well," said the governor, "now is
the time to begin."
He procured a washbasin, some soap
and a towel, and watched ffickey scrub i
himself until he shone. Then the gov?rnnp
cot Mlplfpv Some clothes and
dressed him neatly. Mickey looked fine.
"Now," said Larrabee "we'll see i
about getting ypp a Job." ]
He took Mictey to. the store of an old ,
German of whom the governor was
very fond. Mr. Schneider had no place
for Mickey. i
"But you must have!" expostulated ,
Larrabee. "Just look at him and see
What a nice boy he is. He is clean and
neat; he is a good talker and would
make a good clerk. There is no finer
boy, Mr. Schneider, than Mickey here."
Schneider was obdurate. He had no '
place.
The governor and Mickey walked out
of the store, much disappointed. As
they reached the sidewalk Mickey
turned to his benefactor and asked:
"Mr. Larabee, if I am such a darned
fine boy as you say, why don't you give
me a job yourself?"
No Secret.?William Hughes, wno
will be the next United States senator
from New Jersey, had a hard campaign
last fall; but Wopdrow Wilson asked
him to accompany the train of the
presidential candidate through New
Jersey and make a few speeches in the
last week of the campaign, and Hughes
consented to do so, though his campaign
managers urged him to stay out
on the individual business of Hughes
and let Wilson take care of himself.
Hughes is a good talker and he made
a hit with the Wilson party. However,
the correspondents on the train devoted
all their dispatches to Wilson and
never mentioned Hughes. This got on
the nerves of the Hughes managers
and they wired protests to Hughes.
One morning, after a meeting at
which Hughes had made a big speech
and had been enthusiastically received,
Hughes got the papers; but there was
not a line about him. It was all Wilson.
He gathered the correspondents
about him and said:
"Look here boys, let me disabuse
vniir minHfl nf nno thine that saems to
be firmly rooted therein. The fact that
William Hughes, of Paterson, Now
Jersey, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator,
is on this train, and is making seven 01
eight speeches a day is not a confidential
matter. I herewith release you
from any obligations you make have to
keep it quiet. There is nothing private
about it. I assure you, gentlemen you
will violate no confidence if you print
a few words each day to the broad general
effect that .Hughes is here, and i
that he Is talking now and then."?Saturday
Evening Post.
Surprised the Postman?It was the
day after Christmas and the hardworking
postman plowed his way
through snow and a cold wind, a sack i
of unusual size on his back. ,
He ascended the steps of a large, '
handsome residence, and in answer to
his ring a man-servant in rich livery
appeared. "Walt a moment, please,"
said the servant as he took the letters;
"the mistress wishes to speak to you."
The postman's eye brightened. It
was the holiday season. Now, no doubt, ;
in recognition of his regular and faith- ,
ful "I shall be glad," he said politely,
"to await your mistress's pleasure."
1
In a few minutes the lady appeared.
"Are you,"* she asked, "our regular
postman ?"
"Yes, Madam," he answered, bowing.
"Do you come in the morning?"
"Yes, Madam." i
"Do you come in the afternoon also?"
Again he assented, smiling eagerly.
Then the lady said: "Well, was it
you who broke our bell??Ladies' Home

How Cleveland Won.?President
Cleveland, while talking to a friend
about one of his many angling expeditions,
told the following story: "It Is
remarkable," said the president "how
mean some people are. I had with me
on that particular trip two countrymen
who evidently were familiar with my
reputation as an angler. Before starting
one of them made the following
suggestion: 'Mr. President,' said he,
'we will agree that the first one who
catches a fish must treat the crowd.'
"I absented to this, and we started.
Now, don't you know, those two fellows
both had a bite and were too mean
to pull them up."
"I suppose you lost, then," remarked
the friend.
"Oh, no!" replied the president,
didn't have any bait on my hook."?Ex.
His Gift.?A young man was deeply
in love with a beautiful girl. One day
she told him that the next day would
be her birthday, and he laughingly said
that he would send her a bunch of
roses, one for each year of her life.
That evening he wrote to his florist,
ordering twenty-four roses to be sent
the young woman on the first delivery
the next day.
The proprietor of the flower shop
looking over the mail in the morning
saw the order and said to the foreman:
"John, here's an order from young
Mr. Flint for twenty-four roses. He's
a mighty good customer, so put in a
dozen extra ones."
And the young man never knew what
made the girl so angry with him.?Ladies'

a story of a Scotchman who was peculiarly
Scotch.
This Scotchman sent in his card to a
theater manager with the request for
free seats. He was summoned to the
manager's office and asked a question
or two. Then the manager wrote a fewwords
on a bit of paper and told the
Scotchman to present that paper at the
box office and he would get the seats.
The Scotchman expressed his thanks.
As he turned to go out he noticed his
own card on the manager's table. He
picked it up and said:

HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN ?
ol
Indispensable Bureau of Information 81
for President Taft. 111
On. the president's desk in the White rl
House are six push buttons. The one a)
most worn from pressing of his heavy 01
forefinger sounds a buzzer at the desk
of Rudolph Forster, his executive
clerk.
Vs "Mr. Forster" is the solution of
many a White House problem, when G<
the president in the course of his
morning's work desires to know why a
certain appointment was made, who 01
recommended It, what win nappen u p<
an incumbent is not re-appointed says
the New York Herald, his hand in- hi
stinctively moves toward the well- w
worn push button. Mr. Forster is at d?
his side in five seconds. Usually he hi
supplies the information without leav- b<
Ing the room; if not, he knows where pi
to get it js
The public knows about the secre- P'
tary to the president. . Under Mr. Lamont,
Mr. Cortelyou, Mr. Loeb and Mr. ^
Hilies this office has come to be as im- 01
portant as a cabinet portfolio. 3ut 8'
outside of Washington little is known ^
of the other members of the White bl
House stafT, headed by Mr. Forster. if
Yet upon the shoulders of Mr. Forster
devolves a great part of the business
of the presidential office. He is the fs
buffer between the president and hundreds
of thousands of American citl- '
zens who have correspondence with b,
the White House. Obviously the pres- D
ldent cannot give detailed attention to ^
the many questions on which he must
act. He requires that the salient facts 01
niioatinn be presented to h
Ui a .
him so that he may act wisely. The ^
Influence of Mr. Forster in public affairs
is great, but exercised always bi
with unswerving loyalty to the chief
executive, whoever he may be. ^
His is the responsibility for the pre- p
paration of the White House mall. All 11
the letters that are received pass _
through his hands on the way to the
secretary and the president; every
nomination that goes to the senate,
every commission the president issues
to his appointees, every bill which
congress passes and sends to the
president for approval or disapproval
he carefully notes.
Service at the White House since
the first day of the McKinley administration
in 1897 has left In his capacious
mind a vast knowledge of the policies
and politics of three presidents. The
widely divergent characteristics and
temperaments of these men would
seem to have given Mr. Forster a
glimpse of every side of administrative
duty.
This explains why he is frequently
i Ailed into the cabinet meetings to answer
questions about various situations
perplexing the administration,
the president often calling him to
conferences with public men. His telephone
is constantly ringing, as senaters
and representatives call on him for
all sorts of information. Sometimes
senators and representatives, finding
the president busy, are glad to take the
matter up with Mr. Forster, who in
turn brings it before the president.
The White House is a busy place,
but nobody is more constantly "on the
Job" than Mr. Forster. He works
quietly, but swiftly. His remarkable
memory enables him to answer an inquiry
or dispose of a problem without
having to stop to search for facts or
figures. Never ruffled, never rattled,
his efficiency is oil to the cogs and
bearings of the executive machine. His
appointment as a clerk at the White
House in 1897 was due to Mr. Cortelyou's
desire to reform the business
methods of the White House offices.
His selection was non-political, as was
his promotion to tne post 01 assistant,
secretary' to the president in 1907 and p
his further advancement to the newly _
created office of executive clerk under
Mr. Taft. From three presidents he
has absorbed a large view of national
affairs.
BOY FIGHTS IN NICARAGUA
Young American Marine Describes
Bloody Little Battle.
Gordon Hawley, a 19-year-old Spokane
boy, says the Spokesman-Review,
Is visiting his parents for the first
time since he enlisted in the United
States Marine corps. Although he has
been in military service less than a Q'
year, his experiences equal those of a ^
veteran of a war. He has fought in
half a dozen punitive battles, has helped
quell street riots and has seen his
company mates killed by the bullets of ^
Central American revolutionists. K
Young Hawley was ordered toNic- E
aragua shortly after his enlistment. He ?
was with the first American landing n
party and was one of the small party cj
of marines that stormed the fortified
churches of Leon, last August.
"Nine of our men were killed and c,
seven were injured at Leon." he said. N
"Thuir nnrtv was charging a machine ?
gun with the bayonet. The Nlcaragu- ^
ans hid in houses and behind fences,
but at that we left sixty dead and "
twice as many wounded after our
charge.
"It started easy enough. A few shots
dropped our way. The captain ordered
us to fill our magazines and prepare
to fix bayonets. We crouched down to
escape the increasing rifle fire directed
our way. The Nicaraguans shoot
lead slugs that tear a hole in a man
like a 3-inch shell.
"A man next to me rose and crumpled
backward without a sound. I thought
he had tripped himself or had slipped.
His foot jerked spasmodically and I
looked back. His lower jaw was gone.
"In a minute I heard the sergeant
whisper 'ready!' and saw men shifting
their ammunition belts. A low rattle
of jingling bayonets and clicking rifle
chambers went down our little line.
The men spread out fanwise into a
skirmish line. As yet we had not fired
a shot in return. The commander was
parleying with the rebels who held the
town. He had given them a certain
time to leave.
"The time was up. An officer shouted
something I couldn't hear and the
line of khaki clad men Jumped up and
began a slow run toward the buildings
held by the rebels. The rifle fire in- J
creased and a man fell out of line
with a red blotch near his shoulder.
Another order was shouted and we
rnohpd tntn tho strpts of thp town in
riot formation. We slowed up and began
to fire.
"A head would pop out of a building;
a marine dropped to his knee and
fired. Perhaps half a dozen would
fire. Usually we got him. In a few
minutes it was all over and we halted,
dusty, panting and some of us bloody,
in the plaza. The rebels had disappeared.
"Then the federals came in and
wanted to loot the town. We stood
guard and had a few small brushes
