At dinner I sat beside a man who
manages two hotels fn New York and
two in other cities. His conversation
fascinated me. gpftejfc 1 % t\
He was born in Vienna and arrived
in this county when he was in his
early teens. He had no motley; he
could not speak the language. For a
time he shared a room wth a plumb

' Said he: “The plumber had a glass
eye. Whenever we were broke he
pawned the eye and we lived on the
proceeds until we found work again.”
At IS he was managing a “hotel”
of 12 rooms in New Mexico. He had
a cap marked “Porter,” which he put
on when he met the guests at the
train. After driving them to the ho-
tel he changed into another coat and
became the clerk. At meal time he
pit on a white coat and was the
waiter. ii.-'
There was no water supply in the
town. At night when the guests were
asleep he drove 10 miles to the
e*t creek and filled the water barrels
for the next day. * f

business.
A rich and distinguished citizeii
went to consult his family lawyer.
“I want you to tell me what to do
about my daughter and her husband.
They are good young people, gradu-
ates of the best schools; they have
had eveiy advantage. Yet they do
not seem to be making any progress
in the world. What ought I to do?”
“Do?” exploded -the old counselor
“Do? You shouldn’t do anything.
You’ve already done too much.
“From the beginning you have
tried to make every decision for your
children. You have tried to shield
them from every sort of hardship and
unpleasantness, from everything that
would tend to give them experience
and self-assurance. You have made
them leasers. Fortunately, they are
still ^oung, and it may not be too
late. Let them alone. Let them sink
or swim by themselves. Compel them
to lead their own lives.”
Emerson once wrote a revealing
paragraph on the reason why suc-
men so seldom produce suc-
sons. The principal reason is
that the successful man tries to give
his boy all the “advantages.” !

1‘forgotten” States when he sets
about determining the plraoneel of
his Csbinet. -
A perusal of political pages of the
past disclosed Monday that these
States never have been represented in
the official family of. any President,
and.that one of. them—Rhode Island
—la ope bf the original 18 states.
The others are Florida, Nevada,
Arizona, Idaho, Montana, North and
South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
Arizona, the youngest of the group,
was admitted to the Union in 1912.
New York has contributed the
largest number of Cabinet members
of past administrations, 47 sons of
the Empire State having held 53 Cab-
inet. portfolios,
Next in line is Pennsylvania with
44 portfolios, distributed among 34
men. Massachusetts has had 40 port-
folios among 33 residents. J
Five States have been represented
but once. They are Arkansas, the res-
idence of Augustus H. Garland, who
served as Attorney General under
Cleveland; Alabama, home of Hillary
H. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy
under Cleveland; Washington, home
state of Richard A. Ballinger, Secre-
tary of Interior under Tuft; New
Mexico, youngest State to have had
a Cabinet member and which fur-
nished Albert B. Fall as Secretary
of the Interior in Harding’s Cabinet,
and Kansas, residence of William ]£.
Jardtae, Secretary of Agriculture in
Coolidge’s Cabinet. ,l '
No State has the distinction of
having been represented in the Cab-
inet of every President, nor has any
State held a portfolio of every de-
partment. New York, with all of its
Cabinet positions, hue never had sec-
retaries of either labor or agriculture,
Maryland, wth only little more
than twice Rhode liland’s population
Delaware, also a small State, six.
North Carolina also has had six, but I am no mors willing to regard a
Where Cabinet members from other
States were distributed among the
various departments, all from North
Carolina served as Secretry of the
Navy. ' | ^ Iplll
Theodore Roosevelt made the most
cabinet appointments. He named 29
men. There were six Secretaries of
the Navy alone during his regime.
Grant, with five Secretaries of War,
made 26 appointments.
Seven men have served Jn the same
Cabinet office under three Presidents.
The longest term was that of James
Wilson who was Secretary of Agri-
culture under Presidents McKinley,
Roosevelt and Taft. He was appoint-
ed in 1897 and relinquished the office
to David F. Houston, a Wilson ap-
pointee, in 1913. Other Cabinet hold-
overs were James J. Davis, Secretary
of Labor under Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover; Andrew W. Mellon, who
served under the same Presidents,
and Joseph Haversham of Georgia,
Postmaster General under Washing-
ton, Adams and Jefferson.
The other three men who served
under three Presidents did not serve
consecutive terms, Daniel Webster of
Massachusetts eerv§d as Secretary of
State, and John J. Crittenden as At-
torney General under Presidents Har-
rison, Tyler and Fillmore mid Wil-
liam Windom was Secretary of the
Treasury under Garfield, Arthur and
"euiatain Harrison.
Nine men who later became Pres-
ident served as members of predeces-
sors’ Cabinets. Owe ft them, Monroe,
both Secretary of State and Sec-
retory of War in Madison’s Cabinet.
The others were Jefferson, Madison,
J.. Q. Adams, Van Buren and Buch-
of State; Grant
of War, and

Rrvins gives the mason: “I
had deprecated the rtistom, followed
by io many authors, of treating bus-
iness men as if they were brainless,
uncouth, libidinous gum-chewers. 1
deprecated, too, the custom of assum-
ing that anybody who is able to put
words together in a more or less
readable manner thereby proves his
superiority to everybody else.”
The English critic sees nothing
»ut writing that distinguishes
its practitioners from other work-
men. He is weary of the affectations
of the members of the literary craft
who preen themselves in toe" pres-
ence of the president of a railroad or
a bank.
“The author of ten appalling lyrics
published at $1.50 in abilious-looking
book will behave as if he had done
something that makes all business
men cease to have any reasonable ex-
cuse for existing,” notes Mr. Ervihe.
He sums up his attitude toward his
colleagues and business men in those
paragraphs:
“Compulsory education has enabled
so many people to write tolerably
well that authorship has become a
common accomplishment requiring no
great distinction of mind or manner
in those who possess it. If you do
not believe me, read the average
novel, see the average play. Must
render tribute to those authors
merely because they are authors?
Ought a capable business man to bow
himself humbly before the least of j
them and acknowledge that he, she*
of it knows more about people and
affairs than he does? •.

BRING DOWN WEATHERCOCK $
; FROM CHURCH 8TBEPLB
New York.—American “human
flies” who today find it hard to make
money out of their exploits may bor-
row tn ides from the French. The
weathercock which tops the Cathe-
dral of Senlis, France, which main-
tained its perch despite eight German
projectiles which hit the spire in
1914, was recently , brought down
from its perch to fill the pockets of
the men who climbed to it, Writes
Samuel Chamberlain in American
Architect. | {>„ j | M
Four stone masons Who were re-
pairing the tower remembered the
tradition that whenever the peak of
the cathedral, had been reached by
a steeplejack, the cock ^Le Coq Gau-
lois) could be brought down and
paased from door to door as a means
of exacting tips from home owners,
and they did it. As this is the bird’s
first descent in 120 years, the custom
ts not been overdone.
■wice In recent history an andaci-
oua alpinist has succeeded in climbing
up the spiny surface of the spire as
far as rooster, without the aid of
leading to toe bell tower. He dashed
upward and passed through an open-
ing on the* highest platform before
the startled sexton could catch his
breath. Climbing like aa ape ton
crocket to crooket, he finally reached
the huge ball of masonry. By a he-
roic and almost suicidal effort, the
climber got over tote belt Once on
top of the ball the rest wss easy. He
performed a few gymnastics to the
awestruck witnesses below, sad then
boldly unfastened the weathercock,
strapped it to hie hack and erawted
down to face the irate sexton. By this
time sH the populace of Senlis was
a gaping, horror-struck gallery in-
cluding, unfortunately for the intrep-
id climber, the bailiff who promptly
clapped him in jniL
