Though Mr.Wilson did not offer Page the Agricultural Department, he much desired to have him in his Cabinet, and had already decided upon him for a post which the new President probably regarded as more important--the Interior.

The narrow margin with which Page escaped this responsibility illustrates again the slender threads upon which history is constructed.

The episode is also not without its humorous side.
