Every firm employing members of the national guard has promised to hold positions for men who go to the front with their regiments, no matter how long they may remain in the service, says a special telegram from the Central Texas metropolis. One of the chief drawbacks of the maintenance of a complete organiza tion of efficient militia has been, in the past, in most localities, the un-; ■willingness of employers to grant sufficient time to their employes for ; the necessary drilling and training, which would take them away from their civic employment. That was when profound peace prevailed, and there was no appearance of even the slightest speck of a war cloud. Now, when the situation is critical and the country needs the services of its young men for its protection, business । firms and corporations must evidence j the same degree of patriotism that ' is expected of the men who volunteer ' to go to the front and hazard their lives for the flag, which is the pro tection of all. It is highly probable that a great many young men who are employed in department and other stores, in । counting houses and shops and fac tories would cheerfully avail them selves of the opportunity to enter i citizens’ training camps for the period required if they had the en-1 couragement or even the permission of their employers, with the assur- [ < ance that they could return from their military "preparedness” avocation to < the places they held without loss of j prestige or favor, any more than if I they had merely been on the usual annual summer vacation, generally | allowed. There ought to be no ob-1 stacle thrown in the way of enlist-1 ment, but rather the utmost encour agement, for the defense of the coun try means the defense of every inter est of the country.—San Antonio Ex press. ■ ■' President Wilson has replied to the' message sent him recently by Pope Benedict, in which the pope expressed the earnest hope that war between the United States and Germany would not be precipitated by the submarine issue, and conveyed the impression that he hoped the United States might be of assistance ultimately in restoring peace to Europe. The president is said to have assured the ' pope that he would do all in his ' power to maintain peaceful relations DIDN’T TURN OVER. Ross’ "Deau Qiuck” Spray kills bed bugs, ants, fleas, vegetable and plant insects so dead, and does it so quickly that people exclaim, “They didn’t turn over.” It puts mosquitoes out of busi- a ness just as quick.

Some time before the outbreak of ’ the war a German organist, who went to St. Petersburg, as the capital of t Russia was then calk’d, to live, had an experience with a new cap that for a . time almost made him believe in the magic of the Teutonic fairy tales t The organist bought the cap during his first day at the Russian capital. । ’ and wore it the next day when he went । 1 out for a walk. On his return to his lodgings he was amazed to find two । gold purses in his pocket, one of | e which contained a sum equivalent to . »50. s The next day. after his usual walk, i r he found four purses in his outside pocket, a find that caused him to doubt his senses. A third day, with a simi lar profitable result, sent him to the chief of police to tell his story. The authorities detailed a detective to go with the German to the tailor who made the cap. Investigation dis t closed the fact that it had been con i’ structed of an old piece of English . cloth brought in by a stranger. From i t it the tailor had made fifteen identi-1 cal caps to order. Having a bit left i ’ he had constructed a sixteenth cap, which was the one sold to the organ- 1 ieL The detective then followed the or i ganist through the streets of the city, when the mystery was solved. The cap. it appears, was the emblem of a gang । of pickpockets working co-operatively. The one who secured a purse dropped it Into the pocket of the first confed- • ' erate he saw. The cap had identified the German and he had reaped the re ward With this clue, it was an easy matter for the Russian authorities to catch the whole gang. PLEASED WITH THE BAGPIPES Policeman Listened Delightedly to Its Skirl in Deserted Build- -I**' As the "special ’ approached, the po lice sergeant stood in a listening atti tude near a little city church which is J built in and dwarfed by tall offices and warehouses. Usually the place is one | of the busiest, but this Saturday after noon all was quiet, save for the unmis takable skirl of bagpipes. The sounu was hard to locate. "He's away up yonder in that top room." said the sergeant In response I to the "special's" inquiry; "he prac- 1 tices on Saturday afternoon, and I like i to hear him at it ” I His highland accent gave the rea son "The tune? ’Tis the ‘Barren Rocks of Aden,' but he's not quite correct in | it; there’s four beats to that bar. not three." and he beat time as the stir- j ring martial air floated over the silent Manchester street, says the Guardian of that city. The unseen piper changed into the . unmistakable "Cock o’ the North " I There was an old fellow here.” con- | tinued the sergeant, "a watchman on the street repairs, and he learned to I play these two tunes on the tin whis- - tie from hearing the piper away up ; above Proud the old man was. too He was a qua re old chap. He made a fiddle out of a cigar box and a bit of । wood the telephone man gave him. The j sound was quite good. He was seventy If he was a day.” , — Reindeer in Canada.

The Royal Tern, a boat which is the property cf the Audubon society, is commanded by Capt William Sprinkle । born and brea on this gulf coast, who ; knows the sea fowl, and the islands 1 where they breed and dwell, as he I ! knows the wfnds and the lovely smil- j [ Ing. treacnerous gulf waters He is game warden and he and the Royal I Terr are the police force of more than five hundred square miles of sandbars. । shallow waters and intricate channels. 1 The man and the boat are two of the । chief obstacles In the way of the poach- । era. the plume hunters and eggers. who always threaten these bird sane tuaries. Many of these poachers are at heart good men. who follow their fathers' business, just as respectable men on the seacoast once followed the bust ness of wrecking. But when times change and a once acknowledged trade comes under the ban of the law the character of those following it also changes for the worse. Wreckers are ■ no longer respectable, and plume hunt ers and eggers are sinking to the same I level. The illegal business of killing breed ing birds, of leaving nestlings to starve wholesale, and of general ruthless ex termination more and more tends to attract men of the same moral cate gory as those who sell whisky to In dians and combine the running of "blind pigs" with highway robbery and murder for hire. In Florida one of the best game wardens of the Audubon society was killed by these sordid bird butchers. —Theodore Roosevelt. in Scribner’s Magazine. KEEPING THE TRENCHES DRY Water Continually Pumped From Po sitions Which the French Are Occupying. The French made their trenches ai comfortable as possible for the benefit of the troops during the winter months Many of the trenches are paved and the water was kept out of them by means of powerful pumps. There are drain pits which have been sunk along the whole length inside the trenches, and the pumps are used to force the water from these pits to the outside. Tne walls of the trenches are strengthened with hurdles to prevent landslides. The bottom of the trenches are carefully beaten down, leveled and covered with plank or straw, and the earthen roofs are made stronger by sheets oi zinc. The heating, which is adequate, is furnished by charcoal bra ziers. Farther back from the trenches, along the second Une. are erected lit tie wooden huts, built with double walls to keep out the cold, with slate roofs, and in most cases with flowers raised above the level of the ground The beds consist of wire netting stretched over wooden frames, with a covering of straw packing and a sup ply oi warm blankets. In the huts stoves are furnished Fuel is very plentiful and easily ob tained because the shells of the enemy i have scattered huge branches from the ' trees and splintered them ready for burning. The soldiers are given two . good meals a day, and in the case ot | the men who are most exposed there ; is an extra ration of meat. Hot drinks are furnished, such as tea and coffee | with a fixed measure of alcohol when the temperature requires IL His Share.
