His Wife is Out of Town.

 We see q man with underlip that has downward droop, Upon his face seowl as If he'd fallen In the soup! He roams about the busy streets in an un. easy way, And puts surly accent on the things he has to say. He goes into n restaurant and drops into seat And wonders why they've not thing fit
 for dog to eat. And If you care to seek the cause that makes him feel so brown You'll not have very far to look; his wife
 Is out of town. We see another man dressed uo unusually
 gay, He wears a slpile of gladness and button- hole bouquet; He joins the cruising parties where the
 white-topped schooners sail, And goo-goos all the pretty girls who chance to cross his trail At striking of the midnight hour he yet IS
 on the streeet, Is strenuous in his efforts to control his wabblng feet; He wears his hat tipped sideways on his
 beer befuddled crown. The mousey knows the eats away his wire

A United States officer who has just returned from Cuba says that the po- litical parties of that island nave the propensities of all Latin races. That is, they cannot have two- sided fight, but Instead divide up into three or four fac lions. Thus in Havana there are four parties, each with different shade of principles and q different leader. Among Latin races, as I have studied them in South America, it appears to be a question of leaders more than of principles. new man comes to the front, with an engaging personality, sproclaims himself a leader and man sof destiny, and the crowd falls in be- hind him. The idea of battle Of prin- ciples or of issues as brought to them from the United States is new to the c,ubans. and I believe it will take them many years to accustom themselves to It.

Professor Burghardt du Bois, one or the foremost colored scholars in the country, contributes to the July Bulie- tin of the United States department or labor an exhaustive study of "The Ne gro Landholder of Georgia" His con- clusions are that it is clear that the Georgia negro is in the midst of an un- finished cycle of property accumula- tion. Since the war he has steadily acquired property. In fully one nun dred counties this increase has been un- Interrupted, but in thirty-seven others there has been a serious check in such accumulations in the. past ten years evidently owing to the period of dlsas- trOus depression that marked portion of the decade. The outlook is encour- aging, viewed as whole.

Galvestons assessors are trying to explain how the current years assess ment is only about two and half mill lions less than that of last year, when 1t has been officially stated that the nroperty loss by the storm exceeded S25. .0O0 ,0O0. T. J. Groce says that last year the possibilities of taxable values were not shown in the rolls, as only such tax was levied as was needed for an economic administration, and the property destroyed by the storm repre- gents largely the excess of values not shown in the previous assessment. Then. too much of the property lost was personal, which had not been sub feet to taxation, while a large part of the residence and business property de- stroyed has been replaced Most plau- sible of the several explanations, how

An independent young woman who u,as in a carriage reserved for ladies nn a Belgian railroad recently lighted : cigarette shortly after the train started and calmly proceeded to smoke it Immediately the other women in the compartment became very indig- nant, threatening to complain to the guard as soon as the train stopped.

County Attorney Waggener of Atch- ison, Kansas, says that as the govern ment has violated it's own anti-lottery laws in conducting the Oklahoma draw Ing the courts will upset any mans tl- tie to land procured in that way. II any homesteader, says MT. Waggener who had not registered should so to the new country and settle upon his choice of land and should be refused the right of homestead entry as he surely would be, he could institute man damus proceedings that would be sus- tained under the home-seekers' and anti-lottery laws of the United States The point MT. Waggener makes is that the laws of congress are higher than vsaxa. invented by the interior depart nient and the president for disposlng of the public domain.

Immediately preceding American oc
cupation the Spanish government Of
Cuba was occupying and using for
government purposes large amount
of valuable real estate which had for,
merly been the property of the Cctho-
lie church, and which was held by the
crown subject to the results of a long
series of negotiations and agreements
between the crown of Spain and the
holy see. The government also held a
large amount of mortgages upon prop.
erty in different parts of the island
which had been given to the church
for various religious purposes, and
which had been taken over by the
crown and held under the agreements
referred to. The crown of Spain on
it's part recognized and complied with
an obligation to pay to the church Q
large annual sum for it's maintenance
and support.
With American occupation the pay
ment of this annual sum ceased, while
the intervening government entered
into possession of the property and en-
estate for the same governmental pur-
poses to which it had been devoted
under Spanish control. The church
thereupon claimed the right to be re
possessed Of it's property. After q
great deal of discussion and investiga
ton the various questions of the pror
erty rights raised by the church were
submitted to a judicial commission
The commission decided in favor of
the claims of the church, and the
whole subject has been adjusted, to

Reduction of Expenses.

The military administration in the
Philippines has been simplified and
made less expensive by the reduction
of the number of military departments
from four to two. The quarter.
masters stores and the military hospi.
tails have been concentrated. The
quantity of bulky fodder shipped from
the United States to the Philippines
for the cavalry, artillery, and trans
portation animals, which now number
about 10000, has been reduced by one
half, and native fodder substituted.
The great and constantly increasing
number of civil employees in the var
iOus insular governments, who were
supplied from army stores during the
unsettled conditions of military occu-
patton, had much increased this branch
of the work of the subsistence depart
ment. The amounts received from all
sales of subsistence stores during the
fiscal year have aggregated $3,290,234.,
50. These sales to officers and enlist
ed men are under the statute required
with 10 per cent. added. The price
thus fixed by statute does not include
the cost of doing the business, of trans
portation, of loss of goods, of deterio-
ration, or of interest on the moneys
invested, and the result is a large an
nual loss to the government An nm
due extension of the system would in
evitably open the door to irregularlty
and abuses, because the subsistence

the therapeutic properties of the light
are increased tenfold. Consequently
a patient who at present has to submit
to an operation lasting one hour and q
quarter will only require approximate

cost of the lamp also is SO low that 1t
will be possible for every doctor to
possess one, since it can be fitted to

The death rate per thousand of
troops in the United States during the
past year was 1914; in Cuba, 9.72; in
Porto Rico, 100, and among the troops
serving in the Philippines and China
it was reduced from 1881 during the
previous year to 1876 during the past
year. In the opinion Of the medical

Militia and Volunteers.

The present provisions of law relat-
| ing to the militia and to the raising
of volunteer forces, and to the raising
| feet and unsatisfactory The militia
law stands today practically as it was
enacted in 1892, and is practically OBJ
! solete. 1t is very desirable that con-
gress should now exercise the power
conferred upon it by the constitution
to provide for organizing, arming, and
disciplining the militia. The organi-
| cation and armament of the national
guards of the several states should
be made the same as those provided
by congress for the regular and vol
unteer forces. The relations of the
national guard organizations to the
national forces, and the obligations
and uties of those organizations in
time of war, should be clearly defined,
so that the confusion and distress re
garding their action which accompa-
MED the outbreak of the war with
Spain may not again occur.
The reliance of the country for the
large forces necessary in modern war
fare must necessarily be chiefly upon
volunteers. The method and proceed
ure of raising volunteer forces should
be prescribed in advance, so that in
stead Of waiting to devise plans for a
volunteer army until the excitement
and haste of impending war makes
perfection of design difficult and sat
icfa of ipoT
gress will have but to direct the exc
cution of a we'll understood plan by
officers, each one of whom has long
been familiar with the part he is to
play. 1t is desirable that any plans
adopted should provide for utilizing,
in the earlier volunteer organizations
called out, the training of those citi-
zens who shall have served already in
the regular and volunteer forces. If
the earlier volunteer organizations
can be constituted of these trained
men, much valuable time and expense
can be saved, and many dangers may
be averted during the period while the
ordinary volunteers are receiving the
necessary training. Provision should
also be made for the selection in adj
vance of the officers of any volunteer
force which may be raised Careful
selection is impossible at the out
break of war. 1t is entirely practi-
cable in time of peace.
1t is recommended that the presi-
dent be authorized to convene boards
of officers for the examination of Of
ficers of the national guard, and other
citizens who may apply to be exam
ined, as to their qualifications to hold
volunteer commissions; that the per-
sons passing such examinations shall
receive certificates, stating that the
office for which they are found to be
qualified, and upon the calling out of
a volunteer force shall be entitled to
receive commissions for such Offices.
The secretary recommends that the
war department be authorized to arm
the national guard with the present
service small arms used by the regu-
lar army, navy and marine corps; that
the national guard be treated as a
first reserve, to be called into the SER
vice of the United States to execute
the laws, suppress insurrestions, and
