As McKinley bad his Cortelyo and

After Mrs. Taft left for Beverly,
Charles Dyer Norton secretary to the
president, lived at the White House.
Now that the nation's business is be-
position, and, finally, got the execu
tlve to admit that his was the right
way. It was all done tactfully, and yet
witn a aispiay or pacuDone, mat won
Taft right away. .
Y So it happened that when Fred W.
Carpenter's health failed, and the
president found himself in need of an
individual with backbone and plenty
of tact, he turned to Norton. .
Notron is full of nervous e'nergy.
He Is tall and spare, with dark hair
that brushes back to show a broad
forehead. He talks in crlso. short sen
tences, direct, to the point. He smiles
pleasantly and his blue eyes twinkle.
He is exceedingly well groomed, and,
all in all, is the sort of mau people
look at twice.
Norton has been on all the trips
with the chief since he became secre-

When Norton recently took his of

the White House Into conference.

out a working knowledge of that most
mysterious of all subjects, he has
managed to grasp the situation thor
oughly. V
Norton has made a hit with the
newspapermen because is is one of
the few officials of the government
who seem to have "noses for news."
He reads the papers closely. If he
tells the correspondents a bit of news
one day, on the next he looks to see
how they "played it up."

It is tii secretary to the presi
dent who explains to the newspaper
men (and through them, to the pub
lic at large) what the president
thinks. He hears the presidential
brain cogitating, and translates a
good deal of knowledge and tact and
a big lump of discretion to tranwlate
the presidential brain.
The secretary is the buffer against
which smash all the vexatious little
things that go to make a presidential
day. He makes and keeps track of
the president's engagements. He re
lieves his chief so far as possible by
: a Judicious "weeding out" process and
sidetracks the troublesome and bore
some callers. He gets all the blame
for everything and none of the credit.

of a poor clergyman. Later he went

Floral Etymology.
"Primrose" la one of those words
that have shown popular association
to be strong? than etymology. It has
no real counectlon with the rose, but
the old French "prlmeiole" and.
anyhow, means only the "prime" or
first flower (more or lessi of the year.
Our language has Insisted upon mat
Ins "roses" of all sorts of flowers.
We have the tuberose, which Is ouly
"tuberosa." tuberous, and the rose
mary, which is "tosmarinus." dew of
the sea. Ou the other hand the "rose"
has been dropped feadlly enough tn
cases where popular faucy could not
see the flower. The alchemists called
green vitriol "rose of copper," "cupri-
rosa." In French this became "coupe-
rose," but English wore It down to the
pointless "copperas." 1-ondon Chronicle.
