such way as to Interfere with the busi-
ness OF the people to the least degree.
Each military district holds under
It's responsible care full equipment
FOR the total number Of soldiers which
that district can be called upon to
furnish. The federal government pays
all the expenses Of the entire military
organization, but holds the local gov
ernments responsible for the care and
equipment Of supplies. The manufac-
ture Of war material is reserved 20 the
jurisdiction of the federal government
The pence manoeuvres anticipate
war conditions in everything that is
done, and the law is so complete in It's
detail that the moment war was de-
clared the whole country would come
under the jurisdiction Of the war de-
parnent in the conduct Of nearly every
function of government and public SER
vice. This military law of Swltzer-
land has been in force since 1874 with
very slight changes. 1t has been
studied by nearly every military eX-
pert from other countries and is looked
upon as practically perfect Under
this law Switzerland is converted into
single military organization, which,
at the first alarm, can turn a warlike
face toward the world. Such state
of effectiveness is made necessary by
the geographical situation of the
country, and the Swiss people do not
appear to find anything obnoxious in
this all-prevalling military organlza-
tion. One reason for this Is that it is
communal, a feature of the entire
Swiss government in the exercise of
all its functions. 1t would not be
necessary nor would It be possible to
secure the adoption of the Swiss sys-
tenn In any country of the character
of the United States, but in the mill
tary law Of Switzerland, going as 1t
does into the most minute detail of the
organization of people for the in.
slant defense Of the integrity Of their
country, many valuable suggestions
can be secured for q uniform organiza-
ton which will necessarily be eff '--
ed sooner or later ..

spring Of the lioness, his thought was
scarcely less swift and sure. 1t was
as II the cause for the creatures rage
was flashed through his brain by light
ming. He understood instinotively, as
well as he could have understood by
reasoning for hours about it, that I'm.
peratrice was rebelling for Coco's
sake, not for her own, and that the
sole way to save himself, if way in
deed there were, was TO display in.
stantly and Enthusiastically his affec-
tlon for Coco And so he forced him
self by an incredible, almost superhu-
man, effort to ignore the raging lion
ess and to fatter the dog
Although the lionesss jaws were
fairly crunching his shoulder bones
ana her paws lacerating and oppress-
ing his chest, the resolute fellow
called out, in a perfectly natural voice,
quite as If nothing at all unusual were
occurring: Coco! Coco! Viens, mon
Coco! Viens done mon cheri La
bOnne bette! La bonne betel lie beau
garcon! Qu'll est beau, quil est gentn
ce Coco-la! Oh lie bon chien qu'n
est" And then, as the dog, his mood
transformed from shame to joy by the
caressing tones of his masters voice,
approached, Michel stretched forth the
hand which the lioness's fierce EN-
brace left free and patted him kindly
on the head.
The effect on Imperatrice was in
Simultaneous. Her eyes grew gentle,
her teeth and her claws relaxed, re-
luctantly, it is true-for the SAVIOR of
the warm human blood was probably
sweeter than anything she had hith-
ertO known outside her dreams-but
surely, and sliding to the floor, she
licked affectionately the face Of the
dog and the hand of the master by
turns.
Because 1t was plain as daylight
that the lloness had offended not from
savagery, but from excess of love, she
was not punished for her outbreak.
Nor did Michel, after his return from
the hospital, where his ugly wounds
sent him. attempt to read her any les
son. Rather he read himself one, and
it will be many a long day, you may
be sure, before he dlsciplines Coco
again in the presence of Imperatrice.
Coco, the rascal, thoroughly appre-
ciates the situation, and conuucts, OF
misconducts himself accordingly.
There are two very different Cocos
since Imperatrice's memorable de-
fence of him; a Coco in the cage and
Coco out of it.-Youth's Companion.

The Grand MedIcLne Man.

The ceremony of the Grand Medl.
cine is an elaborate ritual covering
several days, the endless number Of
gods and spirits being called upon to
minister TO the sick man and
lengthen his life. The several degrees
Of the Grand Medicine teach the use
of incantations, Of medicines and poi
sons, and the requirements necessary
to constitute brave. when a young
man seeks admission to the Grand
Medicine Lodge, he first fasts until he
sees in his dream some animal (the
mink, beaver, otter and fisher being
most common), then ornamented with
beads or pOrcupine quills, and the
spirit of the animal becomes the friend
and companion Of the man" The med
icine men have only limited knowl-
edge Of herbs, but they are expert in
dressing wounds, and the art Of ex-
tracing barbed arrows from the flesh
can be learned from them.

memory of living Ojlbways-the medi-
cine man at the funeral ceremony

A young lady had train to catch,

horse. Having told cabby that she had
to reach the station in twenty minutes,
away the vehicle dashed at five miles

They had barely got fcty yards, how
ever, before the lady put her head out
of the window and requested the drlv-
er to whip the horse, rs she would
otherwise miss the train. He accord
ingly did so.
A little further on she asked him to
administer the whip once more, as the
cab was only just moving. Cnbby
again complied. Soon after she said:

FOREST FIRES.
The Indians Managed the Matter Better
Than We Do To-Day.


Than We Do To-Day.
A correspondent Of the Bedford In
quirer, can old mountaineer," makes
the following novel propositions for
the prevention of destructive forest
fires: First compel all owners Of wood
land under heavy penalty to clear
their woods of all leaves and small
underbrush by burning the same or
otherwise removing at such times as
the owners may select during the
months of November, December and
January, holding them responsible for
any damage done to the property OF
others, so that proper care and judg-
ment may be used. OF course the first
clearing of mountain and other tim
ber land on which there may be an
accumulation Of leaves and brush (the
product of many years. win be at
tended with some expense and great
care, but when once cleaned nearly all
care, expense and trouble win end in
case all owners of woodland each and
every year be compelled under heavy
penalty during the aforesaid months
to burn all the leaves which may have
fallen from the seasons growth. If
this be done there can be no forest
fires during the nine succeeding
months; there will be nothing to burn.
After the forests and groves are
once cleared Of all leaves and small
underbrush, the cost of each year Of
burning the leaves of one seasons
growth will hardly exceed the cost Of
a box of matches. Furthermore, If
done properly, there can be no harm
to any young growth, as farmers know
from experience that burning stubble
off a field will not kill the roots of
grass. The ashes of the leaves, being
left on the ground, will prove 4 good
fertilizer, and more than eacugh unir-
jured acorns and nuts viii be left to
take root, where It is impossible II
there be a heavy carpet OF leaves.
Fall fires, simply from the fash Of
coating of one seasons leaves, will be
so light that birds and game of all
kinds wlll scarcely be frightened, and
in the months named there are no
young birds and nests and TO helpless
animals. NUS, too, OF all kinds could
easily be seen and gathered when
wanted.
Let us learn wisdom from the IL
dians and the hunters OF 100 years
ago. When the leaves were burned
each fall in West Virginia and Mary
land the ridges were covered with a
dense growth Of bluegrass, affordinG
