EI.WIU BOOT.
tho remainder of the evening discussing
with him aud probably foiiio of the
members of tbe cabinet the important
duties which will devolve upon him as
the new heaa of the war department. It
is not improbable that the near future
will see Mr. Hoot in the position of co
lonial secretary and a new man at the
head of the war department.
The entire colonial policy will doubt
less be gone over at this conference, but
Cuba, contrary to expectations, will
probably receive more attention tbau
the war in the Philippines. Of course,
Mr. Root will have a voice in all mat
ters relating to the conduct of tho war,
but ibo president desires him to give
particular attention to tho many com
plicated legal questions involved in tho
change from the military to the civil
control of tiie dependencies. The presi
dent will continue to give close personal
attention with the assistance of Adjut
ant General Corbin to the purely mili
tary work connected with tho campaign
in ihe Philippines.
The question of tho future of Cuba
will receive the immediate attention of
Mr. Root. The president believes the
time has come for doing something in
the direction of establishing a civil and
independent government in Cuba. Ho
wants to have a policy weil defined, so
that he will be able to tell congress in
his forthcoming annual report what the
future attitude of this country toward
Cuba should be.
He had an interview yesterday with
General Charles Garcia, son of the old
general, in regard to the question of
holding conventions for the elections in
Cuba preliminary to the establishment
ot an independent form of government.
General Garcia came hi re to secure au
thority from tho president for taking
steps through the medium of suffrage
for the establishment of an independent
form of government and thus prepare
the way lor complete political coutrol
of the island.
The president believes tbe time has
come to give the Cubans a trial at self
government and ho wants Mr. Root to
take hold of this matter and formulate
plans whereby tho Cubans will have an
opportunity to establish some kind of
government which this country can
recognize. It is this class of work, in
volving a knowledge of constitutional
and international laws, which influ
enced tho president in the determina
tion to have a lawyer instead of a sol
dier at tiie head of the department.
Eventually it is the president’s expecta
tion that there will be a new depart
ment to have direct control of all the
affairs pertaining to tho colonies.
Mr. Root will be expected to do the
work of a colonial secretary rather than
a war secretary, pending the establish
ment by congress of the proposed new
department. Probably in tho future he
may be transferred to the control of the
new department, if it is authorized.
Mr. Root, of course, will have much
to do with the Philippine war, but tbe
president will naturally depend more
upon his advice for substituting a civil
for a military government in the Phil
ippines when the time comes for such
action than he will upon his assistance
in connection with tho military cam
paign.

I The Sixth
t- Mrs, Washane, J-
* ^ ?
t . -t
T She Subdued the Crankiest A
^ Man In Pottsville. Y
People generally In Pottsville pitied
the new Mrs. Washane that was to
be. Not that Pottsville people were ac
quainted with her aud allowed their
acquaintanceship to run riot with their
sympathies. Not so. They knew of
her by hearsay only, as a widow—
Widow Douglas, they believed, of
Green Meadows.
Rut they did know John Washane
—that was enough to know—John
Washane, who had placed less than a
year ago the plain yet touchingly in
scribed stone to the fifth Mrs. Wash-
tine. The first Mrs. Washalie’s stone
testified that “none knew her but to
love her;” the sceond, “Her price was
above rubles.” Mrs. Washane, third,
was lamented as one who “had done
what she could;” Hie fourth, ns “one
whom the heart of her husband could
safely trust in,” while No. o’s epitaph
was, “She always made home happy.”
And now No. i> was about to be of
fered at tbe connubial altar—so said
Pottsvillians.
It was talked over at the various
sewing circles, aud suggestions were
offered, motions made and carried as
to the best way in which to apprise
the new Mrs. Washane to be of her
unenviable prospect, and one day, as It
happened only a week prior to tbe
marriage, an anonymous epistle found
its way to Hie Widow Douglas of
Green Meadows. It ran thus:
Hear Friend- Though stranger* to you, we feel
it incumbent upon us to write you ere you take
upon yourself tiie vows of connubial obedience to
one John Washane of I'uttxvillc. lie i* * good
man. He i* an honest man. He is a generous
man. But truth compel* us to Btate that in
spite of many virtue* he has worried hi* many
former wive* into untimely graves hy nagging
ami hissing. That this may not he jour fate is
the wish and prayer of Vocu Well WisiiKit*.
The Widow Douglas rend the letter,
a curious little frown, which was half
a smile, showing Itself as she perused
the anonymous missive.
The wedding cereuiouy was over.
Mrs. Washam*, sixth, was an accom
plished fact, and the twain, now one,
has dig driven in their own hired hack
all the way from Green Meadows to
Pottsville, were about to outer the
house which Sally Eancaster bad with
indignant vehemence got In readiness
to receive the bride.
“And now, John, as soon as we can
get our clothes changed 1 think that
you hail better bang that gate while 1
am getting supper. I noticed it sags.”
“Eu-Eucia—wh-whalV” John Wash
ane was plainly astonished at the ad
monitory tone of his new made help-
male. Mrs. Washane’s answer was
a trille disturbed iu toue, though
sweet.
“I hope, John, that you’re not going
to annoy me by eausiug me to repeat
my words. My dear departed husband
always paid close attention when 1
spoke. 1 said, ‘Vou’d better bang that
gate as soon as you get your everyday
clothes on, as it sags so.’ ”
Thus was the beginning of John
Wusbane’ssixth marital venture. When
he came into the house, be was urged
to take off bis boots at the thresh

have to address my first husband.”
Constantly was the statement made:
“What would my dear partner Douglas
have thought had l been obliged to ask
him to bring up coalV Dear George
would never have failed to procure
the best of meats and butter.” Until
at last John Washane beeume accus
tomed to the oft repeated assertions
aud actually felt that, eoiupami with
the late George Douglas, he, John
Washane, was an outcast and a vil
lain. No longer did lie refer to Susan,
Matilda, Jennie, Carrie and Mary as
patterns for all future housewives lo
copy. What were they as compared
with her to whom the saluted Douglas
had bowed iu allegiance before? His

to tbe town, a man who ’ears before

“As l think of her former partner 1
wonder what she saw iu me that
should lead her to renounce the name
of George Douglas. It may be that
she saw my need and, as It were, was
willing to snatch me as a brand from
tbe burning—what were you about to
say, J.awtou?”
“Vou never knew George Douglas
personally?”
John shook his head.
“Rut you did, 1 dare say, by reputa
tion at least?”
Mr. Lawton grinned.
“1 did,” lie said, with a silent, mirth
ful chuckle. “And so you are the man I

John Wcshnne walked home in a
dazed condition.
“Eiiein.” Ills voice was still some
what awed as he addressed her. In
spite of what he had heard. “Euciu—

•oh, John, why don’t you say what

George used to speak so differently.”
“Did lie ever cuss you?” Juhu had
found his tongue at last.
“Why, John?”
“And strike you? Get drunk—steal
—neglect- come, Lucia, tell me. I want
to know the truth.”
Mrs. Wnshane’s dimples became ap
parent.
“Some one has been talking,” she
said, a twinkle in her brown eyes, “so
1 may as well admit it. He was—oh,
John, dear, lie did make my life so mis
erable, so unbearable.”
“Why did you deceive me so?” John
demanded, pulling upon his knees the
wife whom hitherto be had hardly
dared to kiss. “You made me think
he was an angel—all but.”
“It’s too bad,” Mrs. Washane gave a
playful tweak to the grizzled mus
tache so near her face, “but, John,
dear, I did it in self defense. I'd beard

virtues of Susan. And Pd heard bow
she came at last to the conclusion that
you didn't think she was worthy to un
tie your shoestrings and so died. And
then you told your third wife that she
had been a treasure, that Matilda was
not to be mentioned lightly, that she
was a worker, a helpmate, a woman of
a thousand and you could never forget
her worth; and then Jennie died ami
you put on her tombstone what you
never told her you thought about her;
and then Carrie heard of Jennie’s
goodness and how you could trust her,
but died not knowing that you trusted
her, too; and then Mary—the sweet
est woman that ever lived, I admit, for
L knew her, she was my own cousin—
Mary became your wife, and you never
told her that she made your home as
happy as heaven, and sho died. And,
John, dear, 1 didn’t want to hear what
all the others had hoard, and so I gave
you the chance to hear the kind of talk
your wives had heard—and-John,
dear, you’re not angry, dear, are you—
because—well, it has been lovely here,
and I'm so glad you married me and
gave me a chance to forget Georg j
Douglas. You’re not angry, John,
dear?”
And John Washane kissed his pret
ty, coaxing young wife aud said: “If
j oil'll never mention your ‘dear de

1 think. I’ve got a wife now who is
the best and brightest, loveliest, sweet

James Dilliugworth, a Cincinnati
man, bad an experience in a Chicago
violin shop recently that might happen
once iu times. Mr. Dllling-
worth came over from Cincinnati with
his daughter, who is a somewhat skill
ed violinist. On the road the daugh
ter's pet violin got smashed in a trunk.
It was a medium good instrument.
Mr. Dilliugworth paid S".** for It in a
London simp aud had given it to his
daughter. He took it to a State street
store lo have it. repaired. The next
day he went hack to get it.
“We haven't finished the repair yet,”
said the clerk. “You see we had to
take the violin apart,” he explained,
exhibiting the pieces.
Mr. Dilliugworth was astonished to
catch sight of his name on the under
side of the top piece. He examined it
more closely.
“This is a violin I made f>0 years
ago,” he gasped, more surprised than
he had ever been in bis life.
Half a century ago Mr. Dilliugworth
made the violin just as an experiment
and because lie had a knack for using
cabinet tools. lie afterward sold the
violin to a friend for $2.50. The friend
sold the instrument to a man who was
Just starting for Australia. Dilliug-
worth bought his own fiddle back at a

Bayard Taylor relates the following
about a parrot once owned by a lady in
Chicago, says Our Animals Is’rieuds.
When the great fire was raging, an
owner saw that she could rescue noth
ing except what she instantly took In
her hands. There were two objects
equally dear, the parrot and the old
family Bible, and site could take but
one. After a moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible uud was hastening
away, when the parrot cried out lu a
loud and solemn voice, “Good Lord, de
liver us!” No human being could have
been deaf to such an appeal. The pre
cious Bible was sacrificed aud the bird
saved, lie was otherwise a clever bird.
In the bouse to which be was taken
there were among other visitors a gen
tleman rather noted for volubility.
When the parrot first heard him, It lis
tened lu silence for some time, then, to
the amazement of all present, it said
very emphatically, “You talk too
much!”
The gentleman, at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. Thereupon the parrot laid his
head upon one side, gave an belt*
scribnbly comical and contemptuous
“H’m-ml” aud added, “There he goes
again!”
