THE PRESIDENT'S MAIL
It Take* a Corps of Trained Clerka to
Handle the Lettere.
President Wilson's mail bug is the
largest In the world. Thousands of let
ters arrive daily, uud every one of any
Importance must have the Individual at
tention of America's first citizen. Of
course the president is not aide to read
all his correspondence himself. This
difficulty Is overcome by a carefully de
veloped system by which the contents
of the White House mail bag of any
importance are laid before .Mr. Wilson
each day.
The work of selection falls ujtou a
corps of confidential clerks, who open
the letters and give them a first read
ing: then they are carefully sorted.
Many of them nrc simply recommenda
tions for office. These, after courteous
acknowledgment, are referred to the
proper departments and placed on fllo
until the matter can be takeii up for
consideration.
Hundreds of the missives are purely
formal or contain impossible requests.
These arc Ii:;;::. iin' !y ;:ns»vered by the
staff and ;.:;,*::ed by one of the presi
dent's nc^'slr. nt se. retarles.
Such communications as (he president
ought to see nte clearly briefed—that
is, a slip Is pinned at the top of each
letter, and on lids Is a typewritten
synopsis of it.-. couteuts, toiling who the
writer is a...! what Uj has to present.
FroquciiUy lie president Is sufficiently
lntererted by the l:!ef !o cause him to
read the whole leiier. .Sometimes the
communication Is referred (o a cabinet
offlier. In which case the slip Is retain
ed at the White House and tiled.
Requests for charity are coutimmlly
pouring In. These, however, arc sent
to a different department, which goes
fully Into each case before replying.
When a large nuinl or of i>ersons write
on the same subject the letters are
bunchcd, and the brief nt the top gives
the names of those who present one
argument, and on another list are given
the names of the (tersous who offer a
different view. — Boston Post.
OUR LIBERTY BELL
A Victim of Old Age Disease and It*
Triple f/ieltings.
Metals. just like people, are subject
to the wearing effects of tiuie. And
tliev also have diseases that destroy
their vitality. A combination of both
is responsible for the peat cruek in
the fatuous l.iUrty bell, which recent
ly has shown u tendency lo spread.
The bell was made in Kngland by
one Thomas A. Lester and shipped to
Philadelphia In 17.VJ. When tested
with a hammer it cracked at the first
stroke. The metal was re ast and 10
per cent of cupper added. This addi
tion did not have good efTe ts, s cming
to spoil the bell's tone. So it w as re
melted a second time and tin put in
with the copper to rrstore the sound.
Although details are somewhat hazy,
it is certain that facilities in the colo
nies for handling such a quantity of
metal were not very good. The bell
weighs about -.UW pounds, and it is
estimated that twenty to twenty-five
of the largest crucibles in America
were required for the purpose.
At all events, tiie bell was finally cast
a. third time and accepted. But it did
not cool evenly and was immediately
subject to shrinkage strain. These
strains had about the same effect as if
a piece of cloth were gripped in a per
son's two hands and torn down the
middle. This pressure ultimately
caused the big crack which Is such a
familiar characteristic of the bell and
which uow promises to become even
larger.
Aiiotner point against tnc lieu was
the triple meltings. Metal loses some
thing of its vitality every time thnt it
goes through the crucible. Nothing that
undergoes the "making over" process
is quite as good as before, and the
Liberty tell bad been made and re
made three times before it pealed forth
the message of freedom.—Los Angeles
Times.
Queer.
"There is something queer about thut
man."
"Why?"
"He was hurt in an automobile acci- '
dent, and he actually admitted that it 1
was his own fault."—Detroit Free !

GUILTY" IS
VERDICT IK

wa3 pronounced for each individual.

L. W, Dobyns, and L. F. Greene.
Capt. Harriman, of the tug Arctic,
lef» a sworn statement (with the
prosecution that he had purchased
"booze" from certain of the women.
The gist of th© evidence pre
sented was practically th© same
lu each case, that on the late
evening of Nov. C or early morning
of Nov. 7 whiskey and beer had
been purchased by. Greene and Har
riman from certain women of the
restricted district.
On the witness stand Mr. Greene
stated that Jie purchsaed a round
of drinks for the house, but could
nc; say what they were. H e said
bo drank nothing himself, but
smoked a cigar, and that Capt.
Harriman drank a glass of water.
What the others drank he could
not definitely 6ay.
The cas«e of "Birdie" Ash and
L. F. Greene, charged with boot
legging, are being tried in the court

hour the Alaskan could not learn
what verdicts, if any, had been
reached. I .
