When Mr, Rogers i.-^ out of tc wn, as he usually is, Miss Harrisou runs his office. She has her sten igraphers, her clerks and her office b./ys, wdio obey her as tbeir chief. Even when Mr. Rogers is present, his time is,occupied only as she has arranged for it; and it tnn.st be a very unusual and extremely impor tant picffe ol business that can get a persimal oonfereoce with even Miss Harrison, to say nothing ol Mr. Rogrers, until it has been duly taken up by correspondence and analyzed and pas.-^od upon, Mark Twain once said that if he let his cjrrespondeuce go unanswei ed long vnoiigij, it no longer became j ions What tlie Nation of ideas Can Teacli Us c..

Out they went, into fields, through the woods, ove»’ the hills. acro»s the streams, })uiff.ng and blowing, and s, nrting to keep up, the President al. ays leading tbe way, and now aiKi then looking back, with a joy covering his face and a quiet chuck le in his heart, as he saw the breath less jaded crowd trying to keep up and letting on tliey never were so happy in their jives. Even Jimmy Garfield seemed to enjoy it. At one time they struck a rocky cliff, 200 feet high and very steep, and up that thfsy struggled, and when they reached the top, down the) went through the undergrowth on the other side, rushing through it like a charge of I'ayonets, and then enci)untered a creek five fi^et deep, into ^vhioh they plunged and waded almost to their chins, the President leading the way and call ing it “bully.” After spendii.g an otternoon at sucii strenuous plotlding, the crowtl went home, t hill'ed to the bone and every muscle qsiiveriug with weari ness.

Whenever projects such as tfiis have been broached in munoipaliti.es there has always arisen the question as to whether the educational funds could be used for such purposes, but with IS unc.el going.

How to Keep a Cook. After a dl:mer at his friend’s house, which ;he enjoyed hujcly, he said: “Exc.use me, Jones, Ixit may I ask you hovt' you manage to have such delicious things to eat?” “It’s quite simple,” replied Mr. Jones. “I always kiss the cook be fore dinner and hold her on my knee after diuiipr,” “But what does yuur wife say The Climate of the Holy Land. York Tribune. The feasibility of recolonizing Palestine with Jews, a project which has many earnest and influential supporters in all parts of the world, depends to a considerabl,> extent on the ability of the region to support a large population. In the “Hulle- iiu of the American Geographical Society” Mr. Ellsworth Himtington, though not dealing directly vtrith that question, considers one some what related to it—the ])ossibility that the climate of the Holy Land has undergone material change. Re garding some of the factors in the problem—the fertility of the soil, for instance—the opinion is expressed that sufilcieut information is not yet available. Mr. Huntington, after balancing the evidence for and a- gainst the belief that the forests have materially diminished area, concludes there has been little change since Joshua’s day. Besides, me teorologists do not now' concede that forests promote procipitation. la none of the points here touclied up on, therefore, arc there conclusive signs that Palestine has less rain now than formerly. nvjot; ' outside South Dakok who will | get divorces upon the six-month j Take The KlokS Qut. plar; is not likely to be cousidera- “I have used Dr. Kings New _ f-'ife Pills for many year.s, with in- 1 he shutting down of this im-! «i'easing satisfaction.
