Col. Roosevelt is telling this breezy little
narrative 10 the voters of New York
zone day last spring, when it fell to my
lot to help get the navy ready for war,
/ and my naval aide. Lieut.. Sharpe, went
out buying auxiliary cruisers. On this
particular day we had spent about ST.
100000 1t began to rain. Sharpe, l said,
I have only 4 cents in my pocket. Lend
me cent or cents, will you, so that
l can ride homer Sharpe answered: I
haven't a single cent and / answered
him: Never mind Sharpe; that's why
we will beat the Spaniards. II isn't ev-
cry country where two public servants
could spend 100000 and not have cent
in their pockets after they are through"

Fifteen per cent of the revenues OF
Georgia during the coming year win be
paid out in pensions to old Confederates.
The total receipts of the state are esti-
mated at 100000 and the pensions viii
require over 100000. Nobody begrudges
a dollar that is paid TO deserving veterans,
but in view of the rapid growth Of this
expense it is evident that the state Off
Gals should exercise proper care to see
that the benefcence of the people IS in no
wise imposed upon.

states business and if the power were
in his hands, we have no doubt he would
use it. It is from the legislature. though,
that the relief must mainly come.

PAPER FRoM CoRNsrALKs.

II is said that when pig is killed in a
slaughter house in Chicago nothing of it is
lost except the grunt. Every part, even
the hair and hoofs, is utilized. That Is
economy. The scientists seem 10 be in a
fair way to place the corn plant in the
same category with the Chicago-killed
pig, in so far as economy of product Is
concerned. Up to within a few years,
when the ear and the blades had been
stripped from the corn stalk the remain
der was regarded worse than useless. Cot
ton seed was once looked upon pretty much
In the same way. There was. however, a
knowledge of a fertillzing value in cotton
seed; but che corn stalk was despised as
cumberer of the ground, without redeem
ing qualities, after the kernels and the
fodder had been harvested. The stalks
have next to no fertilizing value. They
give back so little to the soil that it is not
worth while to bother with them.
Two or three years ago it was discovered
that the pith of the corn stalk could be
used for making cellulose, for the pack
ing of ships Sides Several factories for
sprung up, In Kentucky, Illinois and else
where. The sides of the new battleship
Illinois, launched the other day, are pack
ed with the stuff, and the sides of the new
war ships now in course of construction
and those ordered will be similarly pro-
tected against water flowing through pos
sible shot holes or other small ruptures
of the hull The function of the cellulose
is to swell from absorption of moisture and
close any reasonably small rent that may
be made In the vessel at or near the water
line.
In the manufacture of cellulose only the
pth is used This has heretofore left the
outer skin, or shive, of the stalk waste
product. Now, big manufacturing corpo-
rations very much dislike to see any part
of the raw material which they handle go
to waste. The big piles of shives at the
Rockford, H.. cellulose factory set the
company's officers to thinking, and they
set the company's chemists to working, to
the end of ascertaining to what useful
purposes the shives could be put. And the
upshot of 1t all is that a process has been
perfected whereby a first-class quality of
paper, both printing and wrapping, and
cardboard can be made from the skin of
the corn stalk.
The pith and the shlve, therefore, give
promise of becoming very important fac
tors in the value of the corn crop. The
demand for cellulose is very large and is
constantly growing, and it is a very wen
known fact that the demand for paper,
especially printing paper, is monstrously
large and increasing. Last year, it is es-
timated, the daily newspapers alone of
the United States used nearly S27, 000, 600
worth of white paper. This has been made
from wood pulp Paper from corn shves,
1t is said, can be manufactured for less
cost than paper from wood pulp. That
being true, market is anxiously awaiting
the new paper; and should factories be
established for the manufacture of paper
from shives, 1t would mean many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars distributed
annually among the corn planters of the
country for a product which has hereto
fore been of no value to them

The foreign press is again interesting
itself with the pension system of this
country. The vast amount paid out here
in pensions to old soldiers seems almost
incomprehensibe to the European news
papers. Discussing the matter, the Lon
don News reduces the figures to English
pounds and comparing 1t with the cost of
maintenance Of the war establishments of
Europe shows that our pension system Is
a heavier burden than the great standing
armies of the Old world. The army of
American pensioners cost last year 49,
100000, while the German army, the larg-
est in Europe, was run at a gross outlay
of f2700o,Ooo; the French army for e26OOo. e.
900, the British army for f1SOOO.0OO and the
Austrian army for fl5,OO0,CO0. While this
can in nowise be construed as an argu-
ment In favor of a standing army at the
expense of the pensioners, it is evidence
that while we are expressing wonder at
the people of European countries submit
ting to the excessive burdens imposed by
the support of such armies We are carry
ing much greater burden ourselves.

Donzelot was sent to the Pantheon
to report the events. Already the

mob had begun to tear up the
streets and barricade them. One OF
the Donzelot's friends saw him as

no reply, and again his friend urged
him to leave so dangerous spot.

"but, as you are going, kindly take

hour passed, and the disorder was at

begun to clash seriously with the
authorities Suddenly the National
Guard fired volley, and Donzelot
fell, his breast pierced by bullet.
A surgeon rushed up to him. "You
are hurt9" he asked. YES" replied
Donzelot-"seriously, / think; /

geou sharply. "The question is to save
your life" Don't be in hurry"
