In the art and money centers, and has done some yatching on bis Corsair, which arrived ahead of its owner. The yacht, with members of his family and grandchildren aboard, raking the steamer fore and aft with marine IB glasses, was at quarantine early the morning. Son Jack Morgan went aboard tbe ship and found his father at breakfast. Mr. Morgan's niece, Miss Annie Tracey, and her friend, Miss Berwind, who were passengers, ' were- at the same table. The banker was very affable, if uncommunicative, when seen later. He wore a gray sack suit and a small Panama with the rim turned up all around and bit one of the Moigan dollar cigars and held his cane in the air. He said: Good morning to the newspaper squad, but gave no chance for an interview. Go away. Get out. Nothing to say. Wouldn't say it here if I had! Way. Leave me alone," was his answer to the request for a talk. Mr. Morgan, will you No, I wont. You know I won't. Why do you bother me this way? He glared not so unpleasantly. Mr. .Morgan's face was ruddy, showing that he had been out in the sun. The young man suggested to Mr. Morgan that he could get his salary raised if he could e tract an interview from him. "All right. How much will they raise it? I'll pay the difference. Give you a check right now. Rut tel! me how much and then get out. Mr. Morgan, you were pretty close to Emperor William? He W'hirled.

Most chicks are well fed and cared for while their mothers are confined in coops; but when allowed to range regular feeding is rtoo oiten neglected, and as a result growth is retarded Skillfully Arranged, There Is No Trimming That Can Be Made More Effective Place for Crownband of Ribbon, A picturesque and they become what is termed "stunted." It appears from statistics furnished by produce dealers that but seven per cent, of spring chicks marketed weigh four pounds December 1. By this time all the spring stock of the general purpose breeds, like the Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons and Reds, should average at least six pounds live weight. Plymouth Rocks have been made to weigh seven pounds dressed, at Thanksgiving time, by Judicious feeding for growth and development while on range. When the chicks are weaned at six or eight weeks and are on range, their grain ration, with grit and charcoal, may be supplied in hoppers. The hoppers should he so placed or so constructed that the old fowls will not rob the chicks or drive them away. A small inclosure, made of lath and covered with wire, will admit the chicks and keep others from frightening or molesting the chicks while hating.

Fill the fountain about a quarter full of hot water and then pour in the shot Shake the vessel briskly so that the shot will scrape along the bottom and sides of the fountain. This will remove the scum and leave the fountain sweet and clean. Hllles, today field marshal of the Republican forces, was, less than .four years ago, .guarding the interests of several hundred orphans in a Juvenile asylum at Lancaster, Ohio, of which he was thfe" superintendent. His rapid rise in public life is a dramatic story, and intensely American in its illustration of the opportunity that, even in these days, awaits the young man who does his job well. From the hour of his renomination President Taft steadily insisted that his secretary was the right man to head the national committee, and. after a little consideration of the character of Mr. Hilles the seasoned politicians reached the same decision. Who is Mr. Hilles and why has he succeeded where his predecessors have consistently failed? Dy what art does he succeed as secretary to the president, recognized as the most difficult official billet in Washington? Why does the president prefer him as a leader in the campaign? The answer to these questions, direct from the White House, is Hilles has "the poise and the touch. It was the Chicago campaign that made Mr. Hilles a national figure in politics. He had. quietly organized the campaign in a thorough and painstaking manner thkt permitted Representative McKinley, the presidents political manager, to start with an efficient organization. At Chicago, where Mr. Hilles was the personal representative of the president, he surprised friends and foes alike by his deep insight into every move of the opposition and his ready defence for each attack. His capacity for work kept him going until three and foirr oclock in the morning without his feeling it. vHe went about his work in his orderly way, carrying it to his rooms with hnn in his suit cases, as if he were about to start on a long trip.

The best feed for chicks is a riety of ground grains, consisting va- of method of trimming a large leghorn picture hat is by using sott taffeta or lace frilling and equally soft ribbon. Frilling can he bought by the yard,, and that used ou a hat should be two inches wide, kilted to a very narrow banding Sew one row of the frilling to the under side of the brim, using a tiny stitch uuderueath and a very tiny stitch to catch it to the straw. These stitches may be concealed by using the slip stitch, passing the needle through the banding lengthwise and then running it in a slanting manner through the straw. , Make a flat rosette of frilling by whipping it on to the edge of a circle of buckram, three inches in diameter, and then gathering another strip so it will form a circle and attach It to the center of the buckram foundation. To conceal your stitches here you can sew on some beads or a pretty crystal button directly in the center. A crownband of ribbon matching the frilling, if it be of silk, or of some dainty light shade if you are using lace frilling, is folded around the crown and over the joining point the rosette Is sewed. This may be placed on th side, but is usually more becoming when placed in the center of the front, where it balances the hat better. . Rose pink frills or pale green are leghorn hat pretty on a cream-coloreAny of the delicate shades of violet or blue are good; but when choosing these shades take care that they suit your complexion or the good effect will be lost, as the frilling on the edge comes very close to the face.

Clark Of Noble, 111., in the Farmers Mail and HILLES Hetty Green, who is In . her seventy eighth year, was baptized the other day in the Episcopal faith in order to prepare for confirmation as a member of the church. The ceremony was performed in Jersey City by the Rev. Augustine Eimen-dorf- , rector of Holy Cross Episcopal church, Arlington and Claremont avenues, in the presence of Col. Edward Howland Robinson Green, on whose shoulders have fallen much of his mothers great business responsibilities. Father Elmendorf, as the clergyman is called by his parishioners, is distantly related to Mrs. Green, and for five or six years he has been endeavoring to induce her to think less of things earthly. He kept his secret to himself and labored diligently in his role of missionary by writing letters or carrying the message to her office in person Father Llmemiorf went to the Trinity building, in New York city where Mrs. Grpeii has her office, on the day of the ceremony. Although the great majority of workers in the financial district had taken advantage of the Saturday afternoon holiday, Mrs Green was still busy, but as soon as she could straighten out everything she said she was ready to go with the minister. Colonel Green had his car in readiness and the trip across the river to Jersey City on their spiritual mission was made. Several persons noticed Mrs. Green as she alighted from the car and entered the rectory, hut nobody recognized her. Even the sexton of the church was kept in ignorance. The baptismal ceremony was conducted in Mrs. Green sponsors were not the church. Owing to the advanced age ofColonel Green merely acted as a required, according to the church laws, and witness. The Greens returned to New York after the ceremony. Mrs. Green will now prepare herself for confirmation, a ceremony that will be conducted by Bishop Edwin S. Lines of the New York diocese.
