No member of conferees has enjoyed friendlier or more intimate intercourse with President Roosevelt than Senator Hopkins. While he was a member of the honse and chairman of the census committee of that body the senator was thrown into frequent contact with the president, by reason of the fact that the seemingly eternal question involving the reduction of southern representation became one of the president's earliest hobbies. The president and the senator did not agree upon the desirability of that legislation, but tbey learned to re­ spect each other's opinions and motives, ami presently arrived at a mutual under­ standing which has caused the question to slumber without awakening ever since. Very soon after Senator Hopkins' pro­ motion to the upper branch of congress he was called to the White House one day to be present at a conference be­ tween the president and certain persons who purported to represent certain com­ mercial and other interests in Chicago. These persons bad filed a protest against the appointment of a well known Illi- noisan to a federal office in the southern district. Senator Hopkins undertook to explain to the president the reasons which actuated him in advising the ap- Odd UM For Perhaps the most novel use to bread is put may be seen In one of our great watch factories, where more than forty loaves of fre§h bread are required each day. An official of the watch fac­ tory is quoted as saying "There Is no secret regarding the use of bread in this factory, and I am will­ ing to tell all I can concerning it. From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread te the form of dough. This is done by steaming and kneading. Tbey then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere In course of manufacture to pieces as small as a part of a watch. There are many parts of a watch, by the way, that are so small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to it, and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking industry."--American Food Journal. FOR COLI.ECTOH.

JOHN BOYLE. A Quaint Compliment. On Mark Twain's seventy-second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him: "No wonder he finds happiness in ofcA age. Al! the aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as he. He is continually going out of his way to please others, and the result is that he Is continually pleasing him­ self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me^preach. He waited for me at the church door at the serv­ ice's end and, shaking me by the band, said gravely: " 'I mean no ofTnse, but I feel oblig­ ed to tell you that the preaching this morning has been of a kind that I can spare. I go to church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today I couldn't do it. You interfered with me. You forced me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour. I beg that this may not occur again.'" ANNOUNCEMENT. To the Repnblican voters of McHenry county: I hereby announce my candi­ dacy for the office of state's attorney of McHenry connty, subject, however, to the approval of the Republican voters •of said county, at the primaries, on the 8th day of August, A. D. 1908, and ear­ nestly request the support of my Repub­ lican friends throont said county. V. S. LUMLEY, Woodstock, 111., March 10, 1908. pointment of the man in question. He was constantly interrupted by one of the party of dissenters. This particular man was exceedingly irritating in bis manner. He was brusque, domineering and insnlting. Presently the senator lost patience, and turning npon him with a ferocity that could not be misunder­ stood, exclaimed: "You are an impudent puppy, sir. You have come here pretending to rep resent certain interests and certain bodies. I want to assure the president that you represent nothing and nobody but yourself; and I desire further to as sure him that so far as you are con­ cerned you are unworthy of belief or credence." The senator had advanced within reaching distance of his tormentor and his hand was outstretched as if to seize him. Then a consciousness of his en vironment--the presence of the presi dent of the United States, his words and his threatening manner, suddenly overwhelmed him. He backed away from his tormentor in some confusion, and tnrning to the president, exclaimed contritely: "I beg your pardon, Mr. President; but my temper was sorely tried." The president, smiling raptuously, al­ most jumped at the senator, and patting him on the back exclaimed: It was fine, Hopkins; yon did it splendidly, and I congratulate you upon your self control." From that day to the present time Senator Hopkins and President Roose velt have been the closest friends. The president trusts the senator implicitly. He knows him not only to be honest bnt unselfish. Moreover, he instinctively likes a man who knows how and when to protect himself against wanton in- snlt. AUDITORS' MEETING.

Turning the mental \tision inward, as Bacon turned It outward, Descartes watched the operations of the soul as an object in a microscope. Resolved to believe nothing but upon evidence so convincing that he could not by any effort refuse his ascent, he found as he inspected his beliefs that he could-,plausibly doubt everything but his own existence. Here at last was the everlasting rock, and this was re­ vealed in his own consciousness; hence his famous "Cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). Consciousness, said he. Is the basis of certitude. Interro­ gate it and its clear replies will be science, for all clear ideas are true. Down in the depths of the mind is the idea of the infinite perfection--the mark of the workman Impressed upon his work. Therefore God exists.--New York American. 8cience and Sound Fact. "The workings of the human mind when asleep are full of wonder," re­ marked a scientist who was paying a visit to an acquaintance. "Have you ever started up from a sound dream­ less sleep, with every sense on the alert and with your whole being thrill­ ed with a vivid yet indefinable feeling that something was wrong and instant action required?" "Often," replied his hostess, "and In nearly every case I have found that 1 was awakened by the fumbling of my husband's key at the front door!" Impertinent. Speaking of a man noted for his im­ pertinence, an acquaintance said: "Blank's impudence was second only to that of a waiter I heard about the other day. " 'Look here, waiter,' said a guest, 'this fish is not cooked properly.' " 'I know it, sir,' said the waiter, 'but you told me it was for your wife.' " 'Well, what of that?' asked the sur­ prised guest. " 'Why,' said the waiter, 'I knew that if the lady was your wife she couldn't be very particular.' " Realism In Art. Two artists were boasting how they could paint. "Do you know," said one, "I painted a sixpence on the ground one day, and a beggar nearly broke his fingers trying to pick it up!" "That's nothing to what I did," said the other. "I painted a leg of mytton on a stone, and It was so realistic that a dog ate half the stone before he found out his mistake!" His Narrow Escape. "I tell you, the closing of the Steenth National was a mighty close call for me." "How was that?" "Why, a friend had advised me to put my money in it and"-- "And you took his advicj??"
