Washington, Feb 5 ? The last of
ficial reception of the Taft family
was held last night. Half the city
and all the diplomats and hlyu poli
ticians called on them.
ALL THIS HAPPENED
IN THE "FAR" NORTH
There used to be a popular song
which told us that hopeful hearts
could find roses underneath the
snow. It was purely fanciful, but
Skagway has demonstrated the ac
tuality of the happening. When the
snows left a few days ago, Mrs.
Gene Smith found a number of
healthy looking turnips showing
their verdant topknots through the
ground and digging them up found
that they were fresh, unfroxen and
dellciously edible.
Mrs. Thomas, a lady living in the
north end of the city, loves chick
ens, and when one of her hens
showed maternal instincts, biddy
was given a few eggs and told to
multiply and replenish the earth.
On the 25th of January three love
ly little chickens came out of the
shells, two yellow ones and one
colored gen'man. This was all
happening while the oranges were
f reeling in Los Angeles
It ts not uncommon to see pan
sies blooming In protected spots In
various parts of the city right now

IIS DEEP, UK,
ANO MYSTERIOUS
The grand masquerade ball to
be given by tbe local Aerie of
Eagles, Saturday evening, promises
much In the way of entertainment.
Mystery Is In thv air, and when one
speaks of the event, there Is a
wise smile and people say that
they are not going to attend. Men
have been known to come home
suddenly and find their wives tuck
ing somethlrg away; it Is a mas
querade contume which they do not
want even the partners of their
bosoms to know anything about.
Others have been seen ducking up
the alleya carrying mysterious
bundles which they aecret In the
barn. Saturday evening they will
tell their wives that they are going
to the lodpe, and then show up at
the ball looking like Christopher
Columbus or a tattooed Hottentot.
Daughters are deceiving their
mothers and young men are fals*
to their sweethearts, all on ac
count of this Eagles masquerade.
Fathers who have never told a lie
In their Uvea are now swearing to
falsehoods with the Intention of ap
pearing as George Washington at
this ball.
There will be the usual number
of prices and It is said that they
will he more expensive than those
ever given before.

The British cabinet h.t* long been

be quite exact. Indeed. It l? not > orre- t
to call it a part of the BrltMi <-on?li

??to be a true nnd fnPhful servant
onto the king'* majesty as one of his
majesty's privy mnncll" and "to keep

secretly In coun< II." The entire Iwnly
of the privy council Is kui posed to ad
vise the sover>%^n on rs IT n of state,
but to be made a privy councilor to
day la practically nn empty honor It
la regarded as a high compliment. bnt
If a privy councilor Is nut n memtier
of the cabinet he hears no secret* and
perform* no official function*
All the executive and political func

Into the hand* of those of them who
form the cabinet, which I* really a

"But." as Sidney l/>w writes In an
article In the l-ondon Dally Mail, "no
act of parliament eter gave them these

it bears the trace* of ita ancestry, for
It was born over the dinner table.
"It originated In the reign of Queen
Anne in those famous ftaturday dm
uera at which a select group of the
privy council assembled to discuss the
affairs of their party without the pres
ence of the queen and of colleagues
whose presence was not desired. The
cabinet has always kept to the tradi
tion. It Is a secret committee of gov
ernment and a secret committee of the
dominant iwirty In parliament, and
where the one function begins and tbe
?>ther ends no one can ever say,
"All Ita memlier* are collectively re
sponsible for hte acts of one of tbem.

what the decision* of the cabinet are at
nny moment till they are embodied in

may dissent from the opinion of the
majority, or whether Indeed It I* the
majority or a minority that really dl
recta the policy."
The promo'lon of Sir Kufna l*aac?.
the attorney general, to the cabinet
waa a <kw.nle novelty. Not only was
there no precedent for an attorney
general being a memlier of the cabi
net, but never Iwfore had tbe official
announcement of the conferment of
cabinet rank mentioned, aa It did In
tbe case of Sir llnfti* Isaac*, the
words "his majesty's cabinet." Thw
