Mr. Wbltclaw Held laid It down as
a sort of rule that all men who roB*'
to peculiar eminence In America were
Scots. It hnppcned, of course, that be
wa6 speaking In Scotland at the time,
but hlB catalogue was convincing, and
when I^ord Rosebery, in proponing a
vote of thanks, begged to be allowed
to remind the audience of exceptions,
he had to do it warily. 'The few ex
ceptions to the rule seem to me
hardly worth mentioning,” he began.
'The names of Washington and a few
more cross the mind.” But/ on the
whole, he had to allow that the Scot,
and the Ulster-Scot In particular, was
a person of paramount standing In the
States "When 1 come to the branch
of our race,” continued Jx>rd Hose
bery, “which has been grafted on to the
Ulster stein. I take off my hat in rev-
erenco and nwe." James Bryce is an
Ulster Scot ,
An Ulster-Scot by descent, James
Bryce Is more nearly oji American—
of the grnver sort—that any of his fellows In the peerage of the United King
dom. There are Americans, like Mr Henry James, who claim that they are
not "practicing Americans." James Bryce, when he took up his residence In
N street, Washington, felt very much like a practicing American. He was at
some pdins to.explain hie exact posltlpn, for he is, above all things, a man who
loves to make sure of his own state of mind and of the community’s. “It Is im
possible." he declared, "for anyone who speaks the common language, who Is
familiar w|tb American Institutions and history, who recognixei
how
there Is In common between the American and the Englishman, to live In
■ Washington without becoming for many purposes—morally and Intellectually,
and for practically all purposes except, of course, political purposes—a citizen
of the United States*’ ’ .
. Secretary Garrlspn told the adju-
i' tants general of the National Guard of
about- 25 stateE.who called to pay
tfielr respects to him the other day,
that the National Guard has no more

general were asked to meet at Wash

" go over various questions of interest
, to tho National Guard organizations,
Including consideration of the militia
pay bill and the brigade and divisional
organization of the militia as outlined
by the war department.
Secretary Garrison reminded his
visitors that in any organization. If It
Is efficient, there must be a seat of su

the government would be met. he said,
by having the war department the

SweetgroflR baskets of shallow, cir
cular shape may be charmingly fitted
up for holding sewing utensils, with
the aid of.a little ingenuity and a few
pieces of celluloid. The basket need
not be lined, but it should be faced
to the depth of two Inches from the
top edge with pale blue or whatever
may be the chosen shade of ribbon,
and from this band may be hung the
various conveniences for sewing. One
of these conveniences is the. tiny
needle book of ribbon-covered cash-

third Is the pincushion fitted into u

"No” Is sometimes construed aa a
"Yes.”
"No!" and "I object!" are the words
that roust be constantly on his lips.
The pooe he giust assume beforo hlB
fellow-members Is a cantankerous
one. He must bo prepared to take the
responsibility, In the eyea of the pub

public funds which he cannot prevent,
and at the same time to accept the
