According to the old saw “it takes
nine tailors to make a man,” so in the
Government of the United States it
takes nine Cabinet officers to make |
an administration. Primarily Ameri-
can cabinet officers are selected to be-
come the heads of the nine great ex-
ecutive departments of the Govern-
ment. As one star differeth from an-
other star in glory cabinet offi-
cer from another in opportun-
ity, ability and the power to make a
lasting impression upon the history of
the country. These nine heads

no other monument had been establish-

his statesmanship for all time, With

successor, he shared the glory of |

Going back a little further we find |
the late John Sherman standing as
the monument of sound finance and
marking the otherwise colorless Hayes
administration from 1877 to 1581 as an
epoch in the financial hist of the |
country. In the days of the Civil War,

To Remove a Tight Riug.
A very simple way of removing a
very tight ring from the finger is to
take a plece of swall cord or wrapping
thread and push one end of It under
the ring. Then, taking hold of the
other end of the string, begin winding
round the finger from close up against
the ring to the very tip of the finger,
Then, to remove the ring, take hold
of the end of the cord that was slipped
under the ring and unwind the cord
As the unwinding progresses the ring
will be carried along with it and re
woved without difficulty,
