Mr.. Herman's Dinner.

The Hon. Binger Herman. of Oregon at
present commissioner of the United States
land office. is not saying a word about a
dinner he attended at Washington the other
evening. On Sixteenth street, near Scott
Circle. in beautiful house of stone a
brilliant company had gathered, and shortly
after the last guest arrived, and the assem-
bied company was on the point of moving
into the dining room the door bell rang
and while the host and hostess stood on
eXpectant tiptOe to know who could come
at that hour, 10 the Hon Binger Herman
AS it happened the host was at the far end
OF the room, and when Mr.. Herman was
ushered in as guest, a man sitting at the
entrance of the drawing room knew him
and greeted him cordially, as one of the
guests of course. The man didn't know
any better, and the Hon. Binger thought
he had dropped right into the hands of his
friends The other man, after the greeting
drfted to one side without thinking any
more about this latest arrival because he
had no idea who was to be there and the
arrival of a guest two didn't count with
him half as much as what was going to be
his luck at the table However. as he
moved away the host came after him with
a rush.
who is your friend?" he asked. Intro
duce me-
What the dickens are you inviting a
man you don't know for?' asked the guest
not understanding the situation.
Blessed If 1 know" protested the host
Il didn't invite him as far as l am aware
All the people who have been invited are
here now
Hes here, too" said the man.
Some further explanation followed. and
when the host was introduced he asked Mr.
Herman for a private interview The won
dering commissioner followed the host into
the hall
Il am sure said the host, that this is
as embarrassing to you as it Is to me. but
l must tell you that something is wrong
with YOU.
"Anything the matter with my clothes"
inquired the gentleman from Oregon, with a
cold chill flying down his spinal column.
mo, no; of course not. But you are not
invited here to dinner" said the host get
ting more nervous than ever.
Thunder" exclaimed Mr.. Herman catch
ing a CLEAN. isn't this CONGRESSMAN
Fowler's? | am invited there to dinner
ITS next door," smiled the host.
Then the commissioner explained that
he saw the carriages come up to the door
and some people walk in in front of him
and he never took a second thought but
went in like lamb led to the slaughter
AS it happened it turned out all right. but
Mr.. Herman is wondering how he would
have gotten out of it if that acquaintance
hadn't been on the spot to vouch for him
And now when he goes to dinner he gets a
tab on the house before making any at
tempts to enter.-Detroit Free Press.

AND JAPS
AGAINST THE LATIN RACES

Total ................... GliO,VW
These figures are misleading, said be-
fore, for we know that the United States
could put a million men in the field and
both Great Britain and Japan could doubt
less double their strength. Nevertheless,
In point of numbers, the Latin combination
will always, because Of the number and
nature of the populations, greatly outclass
the other combination. However, this pre-
pOnderating land force of the Latins can
be neutralized by the equally superior force
of their opponents the sea. Given the
fleets Of Great Britain, Japan and the
United States, their officers, their crews,
their prestige and the glory that has always
surrounded their flag, and they will over
match and bring to terms the LatinS, first
afioat and then ashore, SO surely tho
day follows the night.
AS 1ntimated, this alliance Of nations SUE
sested at the beginning Of this paper is not
thing which cannot happen or which may
not happen. Indeed, events look to be slow
~ and surely making for It, and perhaps all
of US will live to see it.

Ever since the establishment of this hall
the entertainments given have been such
as TO make night hideous and sleep i'm
possible Tor us. and the class of people who
attended this hall were also a menace to
us Some years ago we tried to have this
great nuisance abated, but, owing to mis-
representation of facts by some one we
did not succeed. Now that this action is
recommended by Lieutenant Heffner. and
approved by Major Sylvester and your
honorable selves, we trust that the place
may be permanently closed"

Col. James p. Fyfe of the Sd Tennessee,
whose regiment had been encamped at
Chickamauga as a part of the 1st Division
of the Sd Army Corps previous to removal
here, said the commissary supplies had
been excellent in quality and ample in
quantity till within the past month. Col.
Fyfe said in reply to questions that a can
teen had been maintained in his regiment
and that beer in large quantities had been
sold. Most of the receipts, amounting to
S4O0 or $500 per day, of the canteen, were
from beer.
Did you consider 1t proper for your regi-
ment to maintain general beer garden for
all the camp?" asked DR.. Conner, reading
from letter as his authority.
Col. Eyfe answered mo, but that the
beer was there to be sold.''
He denied that beer sold to be car
ried away except to officers, and advocated
the sale of beer at canteens as a protection
against more serious indulgence in whisky.
He expressed the opinion that Chicka-
mauga was an excellent camp site, but he
considered the water supply bad as it was
arranged. He thought pipe line should

quartermaster of the 1st Division of the

oaiu 'iie niost SERIOUS complaint IN the early
history Of Camp Thomas was from the 1st
Missouri, whose men claimed that their
trousers were nothing more than rags, and
threatened to appeal to charity at home to
supply their wants. There was also a short
age in tents, which became quite serious at
the time of the beginning Of the rainy sea-
son. Previous to that time men had slept
under the trees and under their shelter
tents without complaint. Indeed, he said,
there was never a sufficient supply of tent
age, and 1t was necessary to put six men in
a tent. Continuing, he said the division
