Pres!den Roosevelt was sounded to find on wh.ther he would fegl that Mr Shonti had deserted the government In thi face of the enemy If he went to New York U> take a larger salary To the surprise of Mr. Shonts - friends, thi prerident replied without hesitation that he considered the commlsslnr had nearly outlived Its usefulness am that Mr Shonts" service's would noi be necessary after the conclusion ol the winter season here. The chairman of the isthmian canal commission has retained his place all along as president of the Clover Leaf railroad He Insisted that the salary of *30.000 a year allowed by the. government was not saDlclent for him and he held on to his railroad position with the distinct understanding that It wonld not be permitted to Interfere with his labor for the canal. This decision created considerable dissatisfaction In certain government circles, as all cabinet officers and other servants of the government usually have cut loose from private business matters entirely eicept In the way cIT Investments or as sleeping partners In active commercial life. Uke Mr Wallace the previous glneer. who was so severely scored by Secretary Taft for leaving the government service to. accept a higher salary outside.

DECORATION FOR AN AMERICAN.

Is president ol the National City bank of New York, said to be the greatest bank In America. He holds offices In il organizations. Including baaks rust companies, real estate, railroad »s.

THE QUESTION OF LIFE. Maw's Prearess aad the Seeks et the Ktahleealh Oalerr. In vriint mankind called "progreea'' the world was led liy Illusion, advanced by Ilea. K'ecytxxly bated work, which was the only health. Even the preacher spoke dolefully of “the curse of Adam." Everybody wanted to be rich, which meant unuapploeea; everybody wanted to be Idle, which meant death. Change was regarded aa prograas. and to find one different from onearlf was to find one worse than oneself. And with all these I sympathized. knowing them to be wrong. I bad listened to moralists and before all was done discerned that a question of morals was a qnesUon of latitudes, and rice related to the equator. Cruelty was a creature of the thermometer; the tropics tortured what the arctics nursed. Happiness was born of contrast when It wasn't born of temperament, and Third avenue laughed oftener than Fifth One man committed suicide, another gave a feast Each was worth $20,000. The suicide bod been a millionaire, the feast giver a pauper. 1 considered merchants and gamblers. There was but one difference—when the merchant's resources ended his credit ended: when the Ambler's resources ended bla credit began. When the gambler was down bit fellow gamblers helped him; when the merchant was down bla fellow merchants fell upon him and tore him like wolves. Progress? A wise man proved It by pointing to a railroad and asking me to rememlier stagecoaches. I asked why It was better to travel 900 miles In a day than to travel ninety. He said one could reach Chicago In a da; and night. I Replied that one aouldn’ reach Calcutta In s day and night Hs said that medicine and surgery had advanced; that we now saved Uvea wt used to lose. I asked why It was Important to save lives tlial must one day die; also I pointed out that we saved weaklings to wed weaklings and produce weakling!, which was progressing backward. He grew angry and asked If I favored death. I grew angry and asked If be fatored birth: also I wanted to bear whether or no be believed In killing weeds. Progress! I know- nothing of medicine and railways and slagecyacbei and saving Uvea, but 1 do know about books. And 1 bee by my bookcases that the nineteenth century did not write so well nor In thing* Iwautlful think so well as did the eighteenth, with the promise all about me that the present century wUI wftte worse and think more heavily than either. We have better guns, clocks, plows, aawtox machines, but they wrote better Eng Ush and thought nobler thoughts.—Alfred Henry Lewis In Cosmopolitan.

IBSEN'S PARADOX. >4 the lallmale Itelatlow ■( BrUara to Bor lets. listen, my great compatriot, has In oe of tils works formulated tbs paradox that tiie man Is strongest who stands moat alone. There Is certainly truth In this—nay. there la much truth In It so far as science Is cond. The man who’ In tb* search for truth goes his way Independently of other men and of other considerations Is certainly the man who Is apt find the greatest and most valuable truth. On the other hand. It la also that science more than most other things In life depends on co-operation. the help of nne'e-fellow belnga. and this becomes more and more true every Many pci,pie are apt to forget w-bat science actually la and what they to science, for It Is through sdthnt modern society actually ex ■ud the development of society as It la today would be Impossible If sdwere eliminated. Humanity Is growing; but. If science and the means ted by science are not growing, humanity will have to look forward to a very miserable future. Therefore the nation that wishes to be cared for must support science and those who carry on ad entitle work. Bdence will her own life and bas done so ever since the days when Prometheus made fatal expedition to the gods sod stole the fire which Is more or leas burning In every one of us and cannot be extinguished. There is something sublime In this everlasting Ore of science. Generation after generation disappear*. The Individual Is nothing, but always “watchful In the tower mao shall remain In sleepless contemplation."—Dr. Nansen.

Oarea •( the Wek«lac Rl»«. At the close of a recent divorce • a woman spectator remarked: “I knew they wouldn't pull together very long. The crease made by her wedding ring\>roved that When she bad been married six months 1 saw her Uke her ring off one day. The mark It had left was so faint you could hardly see It- You can always gauge the length of a marriage by the Impression made by the wedding ring. In Bomc rase* the ring, even though tlrely too large, sinks away Into the Unger. Such a mark as that Indicates marriage as lasting as eternity. Other women may wear a ring aa tight as the skin, yet It will leave scarcely a treak on the flesh: In that case look at for an early termination of the coo The other women present said noth ig. but all improved the Brat opportunity to slip thflr rings mrofind and Inspect the' telltale mark. The faces ■me were an expression of sati faction, others of disappointment, to body knew the reason therefor.■w York Press.

THVHUMAN THROAT. Did you know that the throat has a brain of Its own? Few people are aware of It, bat It's a fact There Is a small ganglia which exercises direct control of tbe muscles of tbe throat sets as Its brain. Of course It Is •rvlent to tbe gv-uulne brain, but s same time does a good deal of Independent thinking for Itself. It .Is very timid and suspicious of any strange objects that come near tbe throat. For this reason It la very difficult for physician to ojwrate on tbe throat Before anything can lie doue In this direction It Is necessary for the operator to gain tbe Confidence of the little brain that dominates IL It frequently take* weeks before thi* confidence can be secured, and until It Is se-.-ured It Is Impossible to perform nn o|»eration. e to the man who attempts rough treatment to the throat before gaining little brain's confidence. Uis operas will be reunited with violent paroxysms, first of t’-e throat, then of tbe dlapbrnrm. and. If tbe operator still persists, tbe patient will tic thrown convulsions Still more curious I* the fact that this little brnln bas -a ory. and If once frightened In this way It Is almost Impossible to ever gain Its confidence, no matter how gentle tbe operator may be.
