Civil Governor Engelhard of Arch

Baldwin Arctic expedition outfit which
he has just inspected.

to express my admiration for the skill
and thorouGhness shown by the Ameri-

1t is confidently expected that before
long all of the forestry work of the
government will be placed in the
hands of a single Forestry bureau. At
the present time matters pertaining to
forestry are divided between the de-
partment of the Interior and the de-
partment OF Agriculture. A division
of the department of Agriculture has
charge of certain technical work in
regard to the forests, such as the max
ing of working plans for economical
numbering, and the land office of the
Interior department has an allowance
of 100000 annually for administering
the Forest reserves. The department
of Agriculture and of the Interior are
agreed that it would be much better to
refer all OF the forest work, both ad-
m~inistrative and technical, to a single
bureau.-Saturday Post.

West Indies. In boyhood he followed
the life of most colored boys in the
Bahamas, which consists in diving for
conch shells, sponges and fishes, and

in small boats, crossing the rivers,
bays and sounds which honeycombed
the island. Eighteen years ago the

NADGE JOHNSON,
Uoeouf5oess :, The Army.

General Miles has acted wisely in
issuing a general order intended to
promote a more trim and soldierly ap-
pearance on the part of the men in
the United States army. All the Amer
lean as well as all the foreign critics
Of our regiments in the Chinese expe-
dition agreed hat the American SOL
diers, while secon to none in courage
and efficiency, were deficient in drill
and slouchy in appearance. General
Chaffee recently has found it neces-
sary to issue an order on this subject
to his men in the Philippines. Now
General Miles calls the attention of the
whole army to IA certain uncouthness
of exterior and laxity of manners"
which seem to be Affected Intentionally
by some of the troops under the mis-
taken idea that these are soldierly
characteristics. The commanding gem
eral says offenses of this kind must
stop.
This carelessness in dress and disci-
pline appear to have crept into the
army at the time of the civil war. Up
to that time the regulars were models
of punctilious propriety. No European
officers were more insistent in matters
OF discipline and pipeclay than those
of our army before the Cos. The civil
war called into the field vast bodies OF
unframed volunteers. who in time be-
came as efficient fighters as the regu-
lars. but who never acquired the per-
lection of drill or the rigid habit OF
keeping their uniforms in spotless
condition. These volunteer regiments,
with their splendid fighting and their
careless dressing, set an example whose
effect upon the regulars remains no.
ticeable to the present day.-Ex.

For the twentieth time that after
noon, Tom Hamilton snapped his
watch and returned it to his pocket.
He was not interested in the passage
of time-that pile of copying must
be finished whether it took him until
midnight; but these brief intermis-
sions gave him al opportunity to look
at a shy thought that had haunted him
since daylight. And the oftener he
looked at it the better he liked it. In
the morning, it is true, he had laughed
at it; during the forenoon shrugged
his shoulders impatiently; but in the
afternoon-he took out his watch and
stared at the dial.
That a man of his staid, prosaic
make up should have dreamed at all,
was absurd; but that the dream should
have upset all his waking thoughts
and come between his attention and
his business affairs was worse than
absurd-it was serious.
And wha. was the dream? Only a
waste Of wild white waters, storm
swept but glorious. In the foreground
a towering wave curving inward
grandly crested. an ogre of the sea.
And he upon the cliff dashed with
spray and beaten by the wind. A de-
licious dream for a hot summer night;
small wonder that he liked to recall
it again and again through the stiff
ding day.
Hamlin snapped the watch for the
kwpntv-hrct time and tnnE I'M hic non
Dash this weather."
If his typewriter had been on hand.
he would have knocked off work long
ago. He would have been driving in
the park enjoying the breeze instead
Of sweltering here. He paused to pass
his damp handkerchief over his beaded
brow and glanced at the vacant chair.
Sick" he muttered. Good Lord.
Sick such weather as this!"
Almost as he spoke the door opened
and a woman in gray linen with emac-
alate collar and cuffs and lean jaws
moved quietly toward h seat oppo-
site.
Hamlin raised his head and greeted
her with his customary bow. She re-
turned the salutation silently, as she
Always did, and sat down to the type
writer. 1t struck Hamlin that her
eyes and jaws looked more tired and
lean than usual, but this was natural
since she had been i'll.
With the silence hat always reigned
between them, unless broken by an
imperative necessity, he shoved the
batch of copying across to her and
leaned back. What a good thing it
was to be able to pay somebody else
to do ones drudgery. The thought
brought a qualm of conscience. She
was not well and it was so dashed hot.

look in reality upon that glorious bit
of wild waters. would that jaded light
pass or would it deepen? Dash it all.
why couldn't he have dreamed a mo-
ment longer
Excuse me. Is this correct?"
Hamlin's quick glance met the tired
eyes then dropped to paper on which
her pencil rested. There in his bold.
reckless hand her name smiled up at
him provokingly. He caught the PEN
Gil from her and made a hurried cor
rection while a dark flush warmed his
brow. He detested a mistake.
The ceaseless clicking began again
and Hamlin read on as though his life
depended upon the contents of the
book. Had he done hat fool thing
more than once? AS fate would have
it, scarcely ten minutes passed before
another sheet was at his elbow and
an inquiring pencil point rested ex.
asperatingly impressive upon This
time Hamlin made the correction with
dignity and added with a desperate
smile:
please pass me the rest of those
sheets, l seem to be determined to
mortgage all you possess"
From time to time his pencil de-
scended with a vicious dash and the
dark red on his brow deepened. At
last, when he felt cooler, he showed
the sheets across to her and glanced
carelessly at the thin face bent over
the machine. A moment later he was
standing in the hall waiting impa-
tiently for his order.
Il wonder II she would die rather
than admit to me that she was a hu-
man being. This heat is killing her
and yet the only way to make her rest
would be to take her by the shoulders
and put her out of the Office" Then
his order came and he went back to
her. She was still rather white about
the mouth.
Won't you try some?" he asked
placing a dewy glass at her elbow.
Thank you"
at is SO hot" he commented.
1T is indeed" she assented rather
absently.
Hamlin tried hard to think of
thing else. Her tea was vanishing
with a speed that bespoke more than
natural thirst.
Like as not she has had fever on
her all the afternoon" he reflected.
Il had a pleasant dream last night"
he remarked as she put aside her
glass.
"Yes?" she returned politely.
"Dreamt we were standing on a cliff
watching a storm at sea, the spray.
and all that. 1t was delicious. We
were standing together"
