Tbe suspender story is so good that It reaoinds one of Josh Billings' tribute to the boundleas knowledge of men who "know so many things that hain't so." With cordial regards, truly yours, Joua D. bona. Department of Agriculture, Washington. Oct. 14. 1901. Gentlemen I have your interesting letter restarding suspenders. Stories of this kind lose nothing by traveling or repeated telling, but you aavs it substantially correct. 1 thank you for the Sift of the suspenders and have no doubt they will ateet all requirements. Very truly yours, iPersonsl.) Jams Wilsos, Secretary. Department of th Interior, Washington, Oct. SO. 1901. Dear Sirs I am directed by Secretary Hitcboc to acknowledge the receipt of your letter oJ tbe 2?d inst. and also a bos by express containing two pairs of suspenders, which) the secretary will fully test ia expectation that they will meet every requirement that can properly be demanded f them. The secretary wishes me to convey to yoa his thanks for your remembrance and accepts the asms in the spirit tendered. Very truly yours. W. Scott Smit. Private Secretary, t. S- 1 am adding this postscript on my own responsibility and without the authorisation of the secretary, but which I think will prove of interest to you. At a cabinet meeting at the White Hnuse on Fritiay, the S5tb inst., one of the snembers in a humorous wav mentioned the suspender ubjert by producing the clipping you stnt him. This brought out the fact that all the cabinet haJ been liie recipients of your gc-nerosity in the way of suspenJers. Some of the merars
began js.kinc Secretary Long, assuming tfie story i as narrated in your clipping m-as literally true. I and they had a srreat deal of fun before they got through with him. The occasion affunicd much memimtit sn.l amusement to all the cabinet, as I well as to President Rosevelt. and your sus- ! penders for a time overshadowed national matters i aad ssairs of state. j

You are charged with favoring the Confederates, and General Butler wants all the facts.' 'M.v Instructions.' I replied, "have been to discriminate against none n this hospital. I do not understand that I am to feed Union men and starve Confederates. I do not understand that course is justified by any rules of warfare.
