SHERMAN ON MILITIA.
What the Veteran Leader Suggests for
the National Guard.

Gen. Sherman in North American Review
This antiquated and most ridiculous statute
SECTIONS l625, 1923 aud 1892 of the Revised
Ststutes) should be revised IN toto and the
law OF the land" brought down TO the present
epoch. The regular army should be made in
organization. discipline and equipment the
best possible and the state guards should have
idenhcally the same organization. drill. uni

serve to the regular army, subject, of course,
to state authority, but ready as far as can be.
If called into the service OF the United States.
And inasmuch as the Constitution requires
Congress to provide for calling forth the militia
to execute the laws Of the Union, suppress in
surrectlons and repel invasions" and TO pro
vide for organizing, arming and dIsclpining
the militia, 1t Is only just to the states and the
young men who will compose this ''well-regu-
lated militia" that the cost of organizing,
armlng and disciplining" should be borne by
the nation.
or course it is simply impracticsble for the
general government to arm and equip the eight
millions of enrolled militia" but out OF them
can easily be organized, say, one man In each
hundred of those at present subject to militia
duty, TO be distributed pro rata among the
forty-four sti ties. To these the national gov
eminent should supply arms, equipment. tents.
uniforms, and the same pay rs regulars when
called into active service, ali moneys and prop
critics to be receipted for and accounted for to
the officers of the treasury, and these ''seiect
militia should be subject to inspection by the
officers of the inspector generals department

The states will. as many do already, supple
ment the provisions of law by exempting the
men from jury duty and militia tax; BY pro-

Champagne Tricks.

rom the New YORK lines.
Two gentlemen. one connoisseur in fine
wines, went into a high-priced restaurant few
nights ago and called for bottle of champagne
OF a brand which, in their opinion, was the
best champagne in the market The wine was
brought and served in well chilled glasses.
Each gentleman lifted his glass expectantly to
his lips and promptly placed it ON the table
after taking sip.
This is not the wine I ordered" said the
connoisseur, turning to the waiter, who had
been lowering about. This is a bogus cham
payne"
With an apologize shrug OF the shoulders
the waiter quickly picked up the cooler and.
remarklng that he would see about il, walked
away. Soon he returned with fresh bottle,
and. after taking pains to display to the two
gentlemen the labels on the bottle, he drew the
cork and filled the glasses again.
''Ah, that's much better, murmured the con-
noisseur as he tasted the fresh wine. Il
thought that you would find this to be satisfac-
tory" responded the waiter demurely.
Ibis episode elected from the friend of the
wine connoisseur exclamation Of surprise
that the waiter should have made the exchange
with so little expostulstion.
well, lny dear fellow" exclaimed the con-
nolsseur, The had sense enough to recognize
in me an expert in wines and he knew very
well that his trick would not work"
What was his trick"
1T is a common trick among walters, a trick
that is rapidly spreading III popular and we'll
patronlZed restaurants You noticed perhaps
that the first bottle brought contained no label
This second bottle, as you will observe, con-
tains the proper label and no doubt is the
genuine brand that we ordered. 1t is a much
more expensive wine than the other and. being
well established, no premium is paid the
waiter by the American agent for forcing il
upon the patrons of the house. The other
wine. which was of q decidedly inferior brand,
Is probably being pushed" by some enterpris-
ing dealer who gives the waiter rs or 80 cents
for each cork turned in. Had We asked the
waiter at the outset to recommend q brand
OF wine he undoubtedly would have recon.
mended the stuff that he brought, and then We
would have been permitted to see the libel"

Bread of the Nation.

The Royal Baking Powder is sold by
every grocer in every city, town and
hamlet in the United States.
Its great qualities of usefulness in the
production of pure, wholesome and eco
nomical food have caused it to have sale
greatly larger than that of all the other
cream of tartar baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder literally
makes the Bread of the Nation.

A Suit of Clothes in Letters.

From the New York Jou nal.
IL have known" said Deputy Ben Armstrong
at the post Office, "of whole suits coming in let
tiers. You smile? will explain. A carmen. that
has been cut to fit customer can be sent by
piecemeai. We discovered one-half trousers
leg in big letter once, and we decided to
lay for the rest Of the suit. Sure enough, eight
big. thick letters followed. addressed to the
same man. Our first idea was to send for the
man and compel him to pay duty, but then the
joke was too good and had to be played to its
legitimate conclusion.
I'VE sent him piece Of the pants, piece Of
the vest and a coat sleeve"
The deputy went on to say that on the fol-
lowing day the young fellow came i'll all OF a
preparation. He was expecting some foreig N
mails from "Lunnon, don't you know" aud at
least five letters were missing. He was told to
come on the following day and the letters
might he found.
He came, and Postmaster Van Colt forced
him to open in his presence the three letters
they had discovered and out came the dutlable
goods and the swell had to foot
But" concluded the deputy. ''these we're
not all the letters, and we made him worry for
two weeks over the missing pants leg aud one
little coat-tail, on ali OF which he finally paid
duty"

Claimed, say the advocates Of the luck theory,
that the top notch has finally been
reached and that there will be NO fur

whether this prediction is true? This

not likely that the senate will yield

"whct I want is an Independent ap'
