He who goes Into politics must re
member what he Is recorded to have
said, for It Is the habit of the sharp
nosed public to search out past utter
ances and hold the candidate responsi
ble for them. John Burns, says Mr.
Grubb In his life of that labor leader,
once made the slip of remarking that
no man was worth more than £500 a
year. Accordingly, when he became a
cabinet member with a salary of £2,-
000, he was obviously open to attack.
When he first met his constituents
at Battersea after he was made presi
dent of the local government board a
candid friend recalled the statement
about a man's worth by calling out In
the middle of his speech;
"Wot abaht that 'ere salary of £2,-
000?”
Mr. Burns was equal to the occa
sion.
"That is the recognized trade union
rate for the Job,” was his apt reply.
“If I took less I would be a black
leg.’’
"Wot yer goln’ ter do with the £1,-
500 over?” pursued the inquisitive
questioner.
"For details,’’ answered Mr. Burns,

HAWK SWOOPS DOWN ON HAÌ

of
Stngac, N. J.—While on her way
downtown Mias Margaret McPhall had
an exciting experience with a huge
chicken hawk, which made off with
her chantecler hat.
When near the achoolhouae on
Pompton turnpike, she first noticed
the hawk hovering over her, but hlgk
up ln the air. The bird, after circling
about and swinging nearer and nparer
to her. suddenly swooped down on
her head and seized the hat.
It fluttered and pulled at the head-
gear, while Miss McPhall screamed.
Two girl friends ran to her assistance.
Miss Minnie Hartdorf reached her
first, and she tried to drive off the
bird, but the hawk flapped his wings
wildly several times, striking Miss
Hartsdorf In the face and blinding
her for the time being.
Mlsa McPhall was so frightened
that she sank to the ground. By that
time the hatpins had worked loose and
the hawk flew away with the head-
gear In It* claws. When over tba
Passaic river the bird evidently dls-
ctvered It had made a mistake and
dropped the hat, which fell Into the
water.
At that moment Howard Jackson
of Montclair, a member of tbe Hun-
