I hope your brother has no trouble in recovering the one that was lost." "When is John Powell coming?" asked Dick. "To-morrow, so he telegraphed." The house master left Dick and Sam and the two boys looked over the rooms and put some of the things from their suit cases in the closets and in the bureaus. Then they walked down to one of the lavatories and washed and brushed up.
By an act of Congress, in 1903, a new member was added to the President's cabinet in the person of the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor. George B. Cortelyou was the first man appointed to that office. Two bureaus, those of corporations and of manufactures, were created for the department.
General conditions of trades as a whole are given in the census returns, though even there hardly more than approximately, little work of much real value being accomplished till the formation of the labor bureaus, with which we are soon to deal.

The husband, with his rifle upon his shoulder, and followed by the rest of the children, trudges along on foot.
The chiefs of these bureaus are under the immediate orders of the Secretary of War, who, through them, in fact commands the army from "his office," but cannot do so "in the field" an absurdity in military if not civil law.
At the traveller's bureaus she visited she found the clerks more than ready to give advice by the hour to this gracious young creature so stylishly clad. And she had soon selected a quiet little resort in Rhode Island. But what was Joe doing all this time? She did not mean to keep prying, but for the life of her she could not help throwing out casual inquiries.
