arrived, my friend read the letter and said:
"How's this, boys The letter says six bot
ties and you have only brought fourI'
The messenger looked at the letter in blank
astonishment
THAT" pointing to the letter, "that say
six bottles, and that drunk two! The great
white chiefs brother must have made q mis-
take and only sent four'
My friend laughed to himself, knowing the
great weakness of the Zulus for beer, and
wrapping four delicious native cakes in q
little mat, he sent them to me with a letter
telling me Of the beer episode and anticipa-
ting that the boy could not resist the cakes.
So it was. He arrived with only two. l
questioned him and he declared that only
two were sent. Finally told him the letter
had seen him eat two of them and he lost his
prudence in his excitement.

And the easy way in which Governor

THE president has vetoed bill for the
relief OF Paymaster Daniel Bash OF the
United States army from the endemic OF.
fsc;s OF pie. Tho pie was eaten by ser.
geant and 1t would appear that the imme-
diste result OF his reckless diet was to make
Major Bssh responsible for 1850. He had
left that amount In the care Of the hungry
sergeant In the stage while he entered the
dining room at Antelope Springs, Wyoming

major had sppeased his hunger, he
observed the sergeant surrounding and an.
Initiating pie, but with warmth OF fel.
low feeling easily explained by the wsrm

from disturbing the sergeant. From an
ethical and military point OF view this
was all wrong. wise philanthropist
would have dissuaded the soldier from in

Of carrying about him either military or
civil wisdom, and he could not bring him.
self TO interrupt the operations OF tho fes-
tive pie destroyer; consequently he Is at
present deathly sick In his pocket book
For 1t sppears that between the officer, the
soldier and the pic the cash referred To
was left unprotected In the stage, and
when the sergeant reappeared from the
dining room We may believe that tho bot.
tom crust stopped midway In his throat, a.
he discovered the theft of the money. He
At once gave chase to the thief and swapped
revolver shots with him, but could not
catch him. A kind. hearted Congress
passed bill for the relief OF the kind
hearted major, but the president vetoes Il
with tho remark that " the loss might have
been prevented II the psymaster had re-
mained short time by the stage when he
saw 1t unprotected, or had taken tho
vsliso In with him, or promptly diverted
the attention OF the sergeant from the pie
70 the money which ell had abandoned"
He then takes occasion to reprove the
readiness with which army ctficers Ioin in
applications for the conformation of neRli-
gence on the part Of comrades. 1t would
be we'll II attention were given to the red
tapoism In Washington which has sncou,.
aged this spirit among the oflicers. Gases
are constantly occurring In which they
suffer personal loss because OF tho refusal OF
men in authority TO bend somo ancient
rule into reasonable agreement with cir
cumstances. Out on the frontier emerceu.
cies are constantly arising which can not
well be provided for by rule, and officers
must use their Judgment and take the risk.
For example, not long ago an ofiioer had
occasion to transport corpse In extremely
hot weather and ventured TO contract q bill
for ice. The department refused to pay It
and the officer WAS held personally respon.
sible. Under these circumstances, It is not
surprising that they should form the habit
OF supporting one anothei's claims for re.
lles.

The Restless French.

Close students of the situation In
France during the present century at
firm that that nation has never been 80
happy ~ during those years when the
Napolsonic dynasty had full sway. From
the first Nspoleon's rise in 1904, to his
fall In 1916, France was in feverish
state OF enjoyment, because Of the tri-
umphs won by her man of destiny. Tn.
der Napoleon III. from 1852 to 1870, she
enjoyed dissatisfaction in his success
ful combination with England against
Russia In tire Crimean war, and with
Italy against Austria at Solferino. Up
70 his fatal step against Mexico, in 1864,
and even thereafter, until his fall in
1870, France was proud of him.
But In all the other years of this
century that are not included in
these Napoleonic periods, France
has been In state of chronic unrest.
Thien was the chief builder of the pres.
ent republic on that eventful September
4, 1870, In Paris, when Jules Favre,
Rochefort, Gambetta and a few other
leaders put their heads together to con-
siruct some scheme OF republican govern
rnsnt These were disquieting days and
became more SO when in 1878 Theirs was
ousted to make way for Marshal Mac
MahOn, one Of Napoleon's defeated gen.
erals. The people did not elect these
presidents, but the legislative body, and
consequently their tenure has been most
unstable. Grevy succeeded MacNIahon,
and Sadi- i-Carnot has followed after
Grevy. Just where any improvement is
70 be expected under the latter is not
clear. The ministry that came in with
him has gone under, and other like ambi-
tious attempts seem foredoomed to fail.
ure. Boulanger has become great issue
simply because of the political unrest of
the people. They see nothing before
them but uncertainty, and they seem to
teal that with Boulanger at the helm
something stable in the government line,
could be attempted.
~ " TO be feared that they are placing
too much reliance upon this reed. IL
Fresident Carnot would dissolve the
legislative body and order new election
70 meet the advancing spirit of republi.
canism In the nation, he would take the
best and most patriotic means Of avert
Ing the coming storm. Meanwhile the
French people are living on the edge of a
Numbering volcano, which may unex-
pectedly become active some day to the
political Generalization OF whole
people.

ArbOr Day.
