FULL I.EASFD WIRK HFPORT OF THE ASSOHATET) PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day tsleeraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole purpose. Italy seems to be further than over from concluding a victorious cam paign in Tripoli. Might doesn't always make for right. Betting is about at the odds of 10 to l that the waters of the famous Carlsbad springs will work an almost miraculous cure on Banker Morse. And when his favorite horses see Colonel Roosevelt whirling by .with his hand on the steering gear of an automobile, they likely sigh: "Kt tu, Brute." Resistance on the part of the Man chus to the Chinese revolutionists will soon be utterly useless. An American girl is about to take command of a company of rebel imon?. According to the Galveston News, the average man is a person who can remember that you owe him $5 a Rood while after he has forgotten that you named one of your children for him. And isn't it about tim that the Comptroller of the Currency was see ing to it that all of the national banks oho., the law. and particularly in re spect to maintaining their legal reserves ? Xews from China is to the effect that the reheis are getting ready to march on Peking. Why don't they march against Nankins again? They have only taken this place ten or dozen times. CHAPTER LXXX. "Friendly to" or "not unfriendly to."J In some of the papers one of the objections listed against Judge Hook was that his decisions' had been favor able to the Santa Fe and other rail roads. Well, of course, a judge must decide one way or the other. The writer has no doubt but that 1 y going through Judge Hook's deeisiins some of them would be found to bo unfav orable to the contentions of the Santa Fe and other railways. Certain Insur gents, and others as well, aTe often times prone to assume thit because f judge's decision is favorable to a rail road, or other corporation, that that judge is accordingly under the in fluence or domination of ;hose partic ular corporations. Fair-minded people should not take this view, neither should fair-minded newspapers. One of the piinciples that Governor Stubbs, Willium Allen White, and other Insurgent leaders in Kansas have annunciated over and over again is the desire tor a square deal." This has been used particular lv in connection with the people. These speakers and writers have said that the people ought to have "square deal." Such a statement is absolutely unas sailable. The people ought to have a square deal," but so should the rail roads and corporations. There is no more reason why a corporation should not have a "square d?al" than an dividual. It ought not to be a crime. political or otherwise, in Kansas to be fricndlv to the Santa Fe. But, of course, if the Santa re is snown to have done things which are illegal the decision of the court or the people hould be averse to that same Santa Fe. But where a case is brought against the company, and it is shown that the contention of the prosecution was not sustained, a judge, a court, or the public should be permitted to agree with the company's contention without being charged in a critical sense, with being "friendly to the company;" or to put it Governor Stubbs' way "not un friendly to the company;" that is to say, politicians are prone to us-3 this sort of expression when they mean to infer the company or corporation can count upon friendly decisions or opin ions, regardless of the merits, or facts or the law of the case. There are cer tain statesmen who have made these charges, and there are cases where such charges were unwarranted, and should have been left to the dema gogue, or other unprincipled politicians. There will be many to mourn the death of Uncle Alf Hale, who served Shawnee county for twenty years as Its poor commissioner. His was a heart that had a warm spot in it for friend and stranger alike. No person, says the constitution of the United States, shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. And yet men are locked up on juries, as in trial of the beef barons, for months at a time. Isn't it peculiar that when promi nent personages in the political arena have any dealings with each other, no two stories of the affair are in agree ment? This is shown once again in the mixup between Colonel Harvey and Woodrow Wilson. Wood row Wilson was hoping a few years ago that something could be done "at once dignified and effective to knock Mr. Bryan once for all into a cocked hat." He seems to have been unusually successful lately in placing himself in the same undesir able position. Like the love letters that crop up with such force in every breach of promise suit, the past epistolary ef forts of the politicians rise up to haunt them. A loose tongue is bad enough, but when its ramblings are set down on paper the inevitable re sult is trouble. More ways than one exist to get a little space in the newspapers, espe cially if you're a politician with ambi tions to reach the top of the ladder. Governor Foss of Massachusetts is now accompanied around Boston with a heavy bodyguard to keep Black Hand era away from him. Delaware Democrats are going to Instruct their delegates to the national convention to vote for the presidential nomination of Alton B. .Parker. Evi dently the Delaware Democrats are omg to get in a position where they can trade their votes for the vice presidential nomination or some other party plum. Champ Clark undoubtedly figured that he was playing safe in his agree ment to abide by the decision of the Democrats of Missouri as to whether he or Joe Folk should be the presidental candidate from that state. Outside of Missouri not much is heard of the Folk candidacy, and if Clark wasn't sure of Missouri he would not be so willing to toss his strength in other states into the waste-paper bas ket. No corruption or bribery attended the election of Vncle Ike Stephenson to the United States senate, according to the unanimous report of the sena torial committee which has been in vestigating the charges to this effect. In other words, the $100,000 and more which it cost Uncle Ike to pluck a Wisconsin senatorial plum was ex pended in a perfectly legitimate fash Ion. Political preferment is certainly expensive In progressive Wisconsin. Even the Emporia Gazette, which at times is supposed to "eat railroads up," has this in its issue of Saturday even ing: "The railrtad was said to have con fiscated commercial coal, a charge it denies. The officials say their com pany did not use a single car of coal, not its own, and besides it turned over thirty cars of its coal for the use of citizens in towns and communi ties where they were short of coal. In Arkansas City, last week, the its terurban system running out of that place, eot out of coal and the Santa Fe furnished it e al to keep its dyna mos going. The power plant in Okla homa ty experienced a like difficul ty, and there the Santa Fe arranged to furnish coal, which kept going the cars, lights and business enterprises de pending on electricity. In Topeka the Santa Fe '.t-rned over twelve cars of coal to the local dealers because the city was out of coal. It is easy to make the railroad company the 'goat,' but when a con pany laboring under con ditions such as the Santa Fe experi enced last v.-eek and does all it can to supply .he mines with cars, and move the loaded cars to points where coal is nee-led. and turns over coal it may need badly before the winter is over, to communities out of coal. should have the credit due it and not be censured for not doing more." This, of course, is sensible and fair. Now if William . Allen White in the Emporia Gazette would be as fair to William Howard Taft, our president. as- lo peems inclined to be to others in the pubfic eye, readers would have a fair and more sensible understanding of the presidential situation. We regret to say it, but Taft has been shamelessly abused and misrepre sented by the Gazette, which claims- to be a fair paper, but which certainly has not been fair to President Taft. Perhaps the Gazette and some other papers will reform in this respect. They ought to at any rate. Perhaps when the Gazette thinks it over care fully, and should perchance see a list of the many fine things President Taft has done, it will consider, under all the circumstances, inasmuch as Roosevelt is not a candidate and docs not want to be, and was the man to recommend Taft, that perhaps, after all, the Re publican, party could go further and fare worse, if they did renominate Taft. The fact of the matter is that Kan sas is full of newspapers and people who are appreciating the high char acter of the excellent service President Taft is giving to this country. They are writing and saying and printing hundreds of expressions of all this sort; but these expressions do not get into the Kansas City Star, Topeka Capital, Emporia Gazette, Wichita Beacon, the Salina Journal, and some other Insur gent organs. Why should these papers not re member that their first duty is to the public, not to the politicians? Let the public know the truth, and the politi cians will then come to know it. Many of them know it already, but they think that perhaps it can be kept from the public, in which case they -will continue to play politics;. Chapter LXXXI Tomorrow. Fiction Factories. There is a monthly magazine of "popular" fiction published in New York a magazine of wide circulation whose editor not only "assigns" writers to the task of supplying his publication with fiction, but also "as signs" these writers to the "plots " It might be more accurate, possibly, to reverse the order and say that he as signs the plots to the writers, but the fact remains that the fiction for this particular magazine is "assigned" for all the world like a newspaper story of a fire in a shirtwaist factory in Broome street. New York, or Fifth avenue. Chicago. Although not direct ly relevant to the present chronicle, it may be said for the benefit of skeptics that the assignment idea in point haa j been found to fill the magazine with i greater effectiveness and satisfaction j than had been the case before the sys- I tern had been introduced into the edl-1 torial room. There is a monthlv mae- azine that calls into its offices at inter vals members of a group of writers who have been on its contributing list for many years and asks them "what they have got on their minds," or, in other words, what ideas they may have that may be turned into the form of articles and stories for the publica tion's use. Numerous other methods that the magazines pursue in taking the initial steps toward filling them selves might be cited, but a further intimate elaboration of illustration seems unnecessary. A survey of the situation in its entirety -reveals the summarizing facts that magazines to day are being filled more and more as newspapers are filled by "assign ments more ajia more by the members of regularly employed staffs or. if not starts, by groups of associated free lance contributors, more and more through direct business contracts or friendly affiliations with writers pos sessed of reputation or gradually mounung ability and less and less tnrough the propitious accidents of the United States mail. George Jean Nathan, in the Bookman. BY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS. JOURNAL ENTRIES It is far easier to conceal riches than it is to hide poverty. Did anybody ever have anv hetter luck by picking up the pins he comes across ? No matter how bad the weather may be, it s a poor memory that can't recall worse. The saying that men of brains live long can only be of satisfaction to a very few. Fellows in the habit of sendinc bon bons to their girls might make more of a nit these days with their sweet hearts' families by substituting car tons filled with real butter. A musician who fails to get an en core never suspects that his playing may be poor, he always feels that the audience has no Soul for Music. The name of a recently-Invented machine for catching people in a lie, is "Sphygmomanometer." But a clev er newspaper reporter will answer the purpose just as well and Is easier to spell. The Boston chief of detectives ad vocates the garter purse for women as a protection against pickpockets, but has neglected to balance the re commendation by advocating dark, glasses or blinders for the men-clerks in department stores. rhe Topeka youth who frisked a j bank and was caught at it, is charged witn Having lived beyond his means. From which one might gather that the police had found proof that his gas bill was paid. THE COWBOYS AND THE PROS PECTOR. The Two-Bar camp has entertained A minin' feller as a gTiest; He drifted in one night It rained A prospector who needed rest. He bunked with us and talked a string About the gold he hoped to get; If we had let him run, by jing! He sure would be a-talkin' yet. He'd scratched and dug in hills untold, A-huntin' for the mother lode, But didn't need such heaps of gold No more 'n the burro that he rode. He couldn't understand why we Was punchin' cows for ten a week. With not a thought that gold might be In every rock or hill or creek. And we plum failed to make him out His greed for what he couldn't spend; He might be right, but I misdoubt If such a chap could be a friend. Arthur Chapman, in the Denver Republican. JAYHAWKER JOTS The true Kansan is much like a cu cumber, insists the Marquette Tribune makes his hardest fight after he is down. The better a man becomes acauaint- ed with himself, the more charitably he judges others, thinks the Pratt Union. Most people are probably willing to agree with the Pratt Union in its opin- on that a chicken show is different from a circus. The government is talking or coining 2Va cent piece, notes the Sabetha Star, and it adds: You can just smell the cigar that would go with it. Strange, remarks the Rose Hill cor respondent of the Douglass Tribune, how many people date their sickness from some time when they attended church. Sam Ream, of Holton. told the Sig nal that it got so cola at his house the other night and the mercury went down so far that it pulled out the nail on which the thermometer hung. 'Croaker," one of the contributors to the Holton Recorder, notifies the sut tragists that while he may vote for woman suffrage, he declines to take off his coat in the cause until the tem perature gets above zero. High school note in the Alma Sig nal: Quite a number of pupils with ome of the teachers went skating Monday. When you ask one of them what kind of a time he had he says: "Just fine; I only got my feet wet and sprained my ankle." Adam Shick, who is a farmer near Lawrence, is said to be the only man in Kansas who can set type in Greek, notes the Holton Recorder, and it adds: We don't know about that, but we do know that the editorials set up by some of the editors are Greek to us. An excellent suggestion from Mrs. Kelley in her part of the Toronto Re publican: The papers say that jackrab bits and antelopes are robbing cattle in western Kansas so that they are starving! Seems as though the state ought to provide for its wild wards better than that. The farmer finds him self rather in a hole when he has to protect things without receiving pro tection from them in return. We would suggest that Prof. Dyche start a relief train at once. When some men assert that no women ever made a fool of me" it looks like a direct charge against their lathers. Everyone likes a man who says just what he thinks about someone else. Hon. J. J. "Veatch of Washington county, is going to run for the senate. Hon. Veatch is an exponent of the chest-warmer type of whisker, but outside of that he is all right, and the voters of his district ehould not hold it against him. Hon. Stubbs' reply to Hon. House took almost a column, but it could be boiled down to a couple of lines. Why didn't he save time and space by saying: "Pooh pooh, no one will suspect ME of playing politics." Aviators who have gathered at Los Onglaze for their annual flitterfest ob ject to the presence of Red Cross crews on the grounds. And at that they are right. A Red Cross outfit is calculated to give aid to the in jured; few aviators are "injured." A vacuum cleaner on the grounds would be more appropriate. Hon. Stubbs' distinction between a J. P. "not unfriendly" and one "friendly" is much like a spot that is not damp and a dry spot. And in the contest between Jack Johnson, Ed O'Neil and Gov. Stubbs to see who can score the most inter views in one week, the result seems to be a draw. Each scored every day of the past week. Any girl who thinks of bleaching her hair should keep it dark. THE EVENING STORY SAYS UNCLE GAV GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. From the Atchison Globe. When a man admits he is a Regular Devil, he isn't. There is some difference in being en titled to relief, and getting it. If three years don't seem long to you, it's a sign you aren't in the army. You may not be able to use your friends as successfully as a barkeeper can. As an actress grows older, she doesn't have her pictures revised so often. If a boy is too lazy to work at it. It won't help him much to learn a trade. Don't tell the women, but very few men want to be known as Model husbands. Sometimes a fancy can well sell a pret ty fierce brand of smoking tobacco. No wonder an Atchison man is rich. He can't have a good time unless he is working. When a robber gets the "drop" on a man. he makes money look cheap to the victim. An Atchison youth is such a sissy there is a rumor that he wears lace on his lingerie. Some men are so optimistic they can make sitting up with a corpse a joyous occasion. Probably the owner of the largest auto mobile hopes to have an extension built on it. It doesn't always follow that the "Wel come on the doormat is a standing Invitation. A man's winter underwear usually needs an early spring almost as much as the dairy farmers. If some of us should insist upon trav eling according to the principle upon which we plan our careers we would refuse to ride in street cars because we cannot soar in aeroplanes. We try to fly high when we can't earn carfare. The result is experiences that enable us to see the sorry side of the joke about Darius Green and his flying : n:i chine. Highly developed talent and sound judgment are two of ihe absolutely necessary rsquirements of real success and that combination never disdained simple, fundamental tasks. No man has ever found the way to greatness except by building his magnificent su perstructure upon a foundation of lit tie things cemented by industry. By no other means can any man, no mat ter how gifted he may be, gain the skill and breadth and grasp necessary to deal with large affairs. This is na ture's immutable law, and none has prospered who has ignored it. It lays its hand upon the babe who must creep before he can walk; it brings ruin and confusior tc the man v. ho. having de spised little things, would be master of great ones. "Begin at the bottom and work up,' was the trite but true advice of our hard-headed forefathers who conquer ed the land and gave it solid business ideals. In that homely sentence is the sum total of human wisdom on the subject of career building. These men know the value of training, discipline and minut. knowledge ot their tasks. The business theorist has been able to suggest an idea or two, but has never been able to improve on the system as a whole, while the get-rich-quick graf ter, in sowing the seed of discontent with sound methods, has succeeded only in driving home the point of this old fashioned advice by the force of an un happy example.

All things come to him who waits, even the weatherman's predictions. Some girls go to church because of the hymns, and others because or the hlms. There seems to be no reason why a light sleeper shouldn't sleep just as well in the dark. You can generally tell how fond a man is of cabbage from the brand of cigars he smokes. The difference between a sinner and a saint is that one Is known by his deeds, the other by his creeds. It Isn't until after he has been sued for breach of promise that many a fellow learns to think twice before he speaks. The trouble with the young man who begins at the foot of the ladder is that he immediately wants to turn it upside down. "And so you found the western cow boys disappointing," remarked the stay-at-home. "Terribly so," replied the girl who reads all the magazine stories. "They don t even know enough to speak their own dialect'." "What struck you most forcibly during your visit to the city. Uncle Hiram?" ask ed the villlage oracle. "Wall," ruminated Uncle Hiram, "when I cum to in the hospital I'll be gosh dinged if I could ree'lect whether it was a trolley car or one o' them derned ottymobiles." Tlie Stone Gods. By Temple Bailey. ihe Garden of the Stone Gods was set in the midst of a big city, but so high were the walls that surrounded it that it was cut off from the sight of outsiders, and the noise of traffic came faintly to the ears of Rosamond, as she sat day after day by the foun tain, working fairy webs of lace on a cushion, as she had been taught in a convent tar across the seas So many years had she dwelt in the convent that she seemed less an Amer ican gin tnan a ioreigner, and now that she was buried here in this strange old garden, she seemed to live a dreai lie far removed from that of the girls wno, on the other side of the walls went back and forth on gay modern quests of shopping and motoring, golf ng and riding. Once an airship had whizzed over head, and the beat of its motors had come down to them faintly, Rosamond s uncle had looked ur Into the stries and had said, fiercely, "Ccn we never get away from modern hor rors ?" But Rosamond had looked up at the big airship, sailing over their heads like a huge silver dragonfly, and then down at the impassive stone gods which surrounded the fountain, and had sigh ed. Rosamond hated the stone gods, and she yearned inexpressibly for the life that otier girls led. One day vutside the walls she heard a voice singing, it was a man s voice. strong and sweet, and the song was a love song. In her quiet garden Rosamond had heard little of love. Her uncle had never married; he hated women. The song as it floated out on the spring air, seemed a call to Rosa mond to come out and be free. , So she left her lace pillow, and ran to the end of the garden, and climbed from the stone bench to the low branches of an old apple tree, and thence to the broad top of the wall, and peeped over. Beneath her was the man who sang. His hat was off, and he was down on his knees behind a big red motor car. Rosamond watched him eagerly. Sit ting on the top of the wall she sighed for the things which were forbidden her. Though the sigh was low, the man beneath looked up. It was as if her desire had drawn his eyes toward her. His bright smile shone out a.s he saw her. ' Beg pardon," he said as he rose to his feet; "I'm in an awful fix. Do you think there's any one in there who can help me out? I'm a doctor, and I've got to get to a pa tient as soon as possible." "Oh," said Rosamond, quickly, "I'll see." She ran at once to her uncle's study. There she told her breathless story. "There's a doctor outside, and his motor car has broken down and and he wants help to fix it " "How," her uncle demanded, "did you know " But Rosamond went on, unheeding. "It would be cruel to keep him wait ing when he is needed at. a sick bed, wouldn't it. "He might have one of the horses. The young doctor, mounted on one of the bis blacks, was a gallant figure. Rosamond pever forgot how he look ed as he rode that morning out of the big gateway and into the sunshine. When he came back, Rosamond was in the garden, bending over her lace work. He took it out of her hands and looked at her keenly. "You ought to be riding the. big black horse," he said abruptly. "You will be a perfect shad ow maiden if you shut yourself up in this dark old garden." The color came into Rosamond's pale face until she was as vivid as a flame. 'Oh, I hate it here." she said, with her little hands clenched; "I hate it." 'Then why do you stay?" he asked. gently. 'Uncle had his heart broken wnen he was a young man." she said, sim ply. "He loved a woman who mar ried another man. My father brcke my mother's heart so my uncle does not believe in marriage. He kept me in a convent until I was 18, and two years ago we came nere. tie nas always her in his arms as she whispered, "You " "I can't carry you off like a thief in the night," he said after a raptur ous moment. "I shall have to beard the lion in his den, dear." "He'll never consent," she said, fearfully. "Wait here for me, my Rose," and he kissed her and went away. Ten minutes later in the dim study two angry men faced each other. "If you do not give your consent I shall run away with her," the doctor said steadily. "You are killing her u not physically, at least mentally and spiritually no girl can live constantly with your old gods and survive." "Tomorrow she goes back to India with me," said the raging guardian, "you cannot take her away from me. I love her too well to have her hurt." "Yet you are hurting her. There la no ache like a heartache. Surely you know that, sir." The old man started as if he had been stung, then covered his face, "I want to save her," he said. "Then let her love and be loved." The younger man came over and put his hand on the bent shoulders. "All that you would have been to the woman you loved, I will be to Rosa mond. Can I say more than that?" The face that was raised to his had m it renunciation, combined with hope. "Make her happy," quavered the old man. (Copyrighted 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) KANSAS COMMENT EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "To be truly happy is a question ot how we begin and not of how we end, or what we want and not of what we have. An aspiration is a joy forever, a posses sion as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us, year by year, a revenue . of pleasurable activity." Robert Louis Stev enson. The daughter of one of the wealthiest men in our town has recently been mar ried. Her father's wedding gift to her was a house completely furnished. The house stands on the edge of a. fine lawn. It is a beautiful big building with wide verandas, open fireplaces, and a splendid vista. It is finished in rich natural woods and it is furnished complete, even to the minutest detail. Hangings, rugs, orna ments, all the little minutiae of utility and service that most people acquire gradually through years of married life, were absolutely complete in that house, the day the owner stepped into it as a bride. By most of the young girls in the neigh borhood this bride is considered quite the most fortunate girl who ever was mar ried. From this opinion I roost respect fully, but none the less firmly, beg to differ. Why, I think the poor little gir is positively pathetic. And I think h father, though undoubtedly he meant be the kindest and most generous of par ents, has really robbed her of vast pos slbilitios of happiness. Don t you pity her. you people who have known all the joy of gradual home building, all the Interest of planning and waiting and contriving, and all the sat lsfaction of acquisition made a hundred told keener by the delay? Why, just think, she'll never have the unequalled delight that you knew when after waiting and longing for it for years, you bought that beautiful mahogany bookcase. To be sure that bookcase didn't cost as much as one of the arm chairs In her library. And yet It proii ably brought you more pleasure than her whole library gives her. And how can she ever experience the excitement and elation which possessed you. when you found that th particular Oriental rug you had admired for years, had actually been marked down within vour means. To be sure every room In her house is lavishly strewn with far more costly rugs, but what of that.' Do thev bring her half the joy the acquis: lion of that one brouglut to you? indeed no. What chance will she ever get to feel as happy as you did the Christmas that all vour family clubbed together and bought you a good table for your living room and made it possible for you to get rid of the cheap and ugly makeshift you had used so long? Hunger, they say. Is the very best of sauces. Who has never tasted iooci tnus seasoned does not know what a real least Is. Now. planning and longing and contriv ing are equally good sauces for the meal of acquisition. Tn my mind, the young people who start out with the necessities and a Tew of the luxuries, are far better off than the voung folks who have almost everything the heart could desire right off at the be ginning. Every little thing they acquire will be beautified and glorified by longing and waiting, and perhaps by the sacrifices made to obtain it. Every humble piece of household furniture will have a meaning and a history. Thought and love wilj be the interior decorations of such a bouse, and will gradually make it that wonder ful thing which is as different from a mere house as from a city hall a home. Poor little, rich girl who has been rob bed of all the joys of home building. Aren't you sorry for her? I am. A BOY'S COST. Somebody has figured out that tn average boy who Is dependent upon nil parents for a livelihood until he reaches the age of 21 years costs them four thou sand dollars. On this basin of calv-ulattol a brood, for Instance of six boys wouKl represent an outlay of twenty-tour thou sand dollars by the time they get away from the home root. The question arises, does it pay to raise boys and are there r other crops that would prove moiT ITofitable? If a boy turns out to be street loafer with an untramnieled and unconquerable desire to avoid work, it la safe to say that bis parents might nava invested their four thousand dollars at a much better advantuse. Hut if the boy grows up to manhood with the lesson, well learned that wealth and micce grow only on hushes watered by the sweat of ones brow. tli parents need not begrudge whatever thev sp'nt on h1ni, for he will be a source of inereaslnif rride and joy to their hearts, and when they grow old and their hands trenibl and their legs wabble and their step 1 -slow and faltering they have two strop, arms to lean vipon and help them over sli the rough places that lie In their twilight path.

That congress has at last awakened to the importance of aerial navigation as a part of modern warfare is indicated by the report that the bill introduced by Rep resentative Hardwick, of Georgia, where by the efficiency of the aviation servhn of the army will be Inrreaed, is likely to be passed without opposition. France, Great Britain, Germany tnl Russia are all ahead of the I'nited State in the aviation phase of military prepara tions. The foreign nations long hro re alized that success or failure of a Kreat ' engagement might depend upon the aerial equipment of the contending armies. Foreign countries not only work to hripqr their aerial fleets up to h high point of efficiency, but lecognlze the value of th services of the men engaged In the work of perfecting the science for army pur- poses. This country should not remain . in the rear of progress any longer. It I time for the United States to enlMrcs It service, and give more adequate compensa tion to the men who are risking their live for the government iti these times of peace that the country may be safeguard ed In time of war. The Hardwick bill doubles the pay and allowance ssslgned to the dangerous duly of a-alion and gives the science s definite stntus for mil itary purposes.

It is a mighty serious thing to desert or even overstay your leave on the Dela ware, which has a record for a high standard of discipline and efficiency, and the men keep pretty close to the regulations.

Rosa mond did not know what power he used to charm I. er uncle, but the older man grew eager for talks and argu ments with the young doctor. They unched together and dined together, and every day Rosamond sat at the table content to listen, and meet the glance of the steady eyes which seemed to say, always. "Trust me." And she did trust him. even when one day he went by her with averted head as he passed through the garden on his way to his motor. At lunch she had the key to the situ ation. "I have thought sometimes. her uncle said, restlessly, "that the doctor looks at you as if he loved you it would be a calamity if he should learn to care for you, Rosa mond." Rosamond's own heart beat furious ly, but she said carelessly. "He scarce ly notices me at all, uncle." The next day the doctor came early to the garden. "I must speak to you before your uncle comes," he said to Rosarpond, who had arisen at his ap proach. "I love you I want you for t my wife but I don't want you to marry me in order to escape from bondage. You must know love, child, before you leave your garden." Rosamond's eyes drooped before the adoration in his. "There there is one man with whom I could live al ways in my garden," she whispered. He bent to hear her.

Never did the company do a greater busi ness. There was a pessimistic feeling in busi ness circles during the latter part of mil. so many advertisers retrenched used less space tried to save. Usually when peo ple get it into their heads that business is slow the first thing they do it to glvfc their best friend advertising a black eye.

In a long experience and making care ful observations I have learned that the man who retrenches in advertising at any period loses more than he saves. W hen he opens up to the throttle again It takes him a great deal longer to get under full headway to get results be cause the business that does not con stantly remind the people of its existence is soon forgotten.

So popular did Jay become with the men that they made a hammock for him and taught him how to curl up com fortably in it at night. They also bought him a collar with his name and the name of the bnttleship en graved on it. and they fed him tin choicest morsels from the mess. For four weeks Jay behaved admir ably. Two weeks aro he developed a wanderlust, which the men attributed to the excessive petting he got from shore folk In the course of the recent naval review In the Hudson river He was indulged to the extent of being permitted to go ashore and run around a bit each evening, but he al ways came back.
