The following is a most interesting
and, in one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. J. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streat-
ham, England, said:
Eyes, poor chap, he is gone, dead
horse bolted, thrown off his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate.
It was him, you see, who gave me the
h~alf-bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil that
made a new mai of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given
him a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which
had done him a lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that 7 had been a martyr to rheuma-
tism and s~ciatica for years, that Z had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, l became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that
there was no help for me. Well" said
Pope, you may not believe me. for
1t is a miracle, but before l had
used the contents of the h~alf-bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman
gave me, / was a well man. There
it is, you see, after years of pain, after
using remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better, l
was completely cured in a few days.
bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but it did not,
so l gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back. l can't speak
too highly of this wonderful pain
killer"

There died at Vienna the other day
a m who claimed to be the cham
pion man-hater of the world, This
was her boast during her lifetime, and
as yet her title stands undisputed. She
decreed In her viii that no male per-
sons should have anything to do with
her burying. She must be laid out,
preached over, and carried to the
cemetery by women, a m must
shovel earth on the box other women
had nailed her up in, and her grave
stone must be chiseled by a woman's
hand. During the funeral procession,
however, a hard wind made it impos-
si0le for n Of the %lagbearers to hold
her burden, and a man was called for
help.

out an enemy in sight. Under those orders
a Moltke or a Kitchener would have been
swamped as badly as Shafter was. The
wonder Is. not that there was congestion
and confusion. but that anything at all
was accomplished.
The trouble was not with the staff. 1t
lay higher up. There were p.enty of COM
petent staff officers, but those in highest
command did not know how to co-orolnate
their work and did not see fit to allow the
staff officers do IL for themselves. 1t
was precisely because the staff officers had
no voice in the primary management of
the mobilization that confusion arose. The
mobilization of army and the organiza-
ton of an expeditionary force among Eu-
ropean nations is the work of a general
staff; an institution which has no existence
in our military organization, which will re-
main disorganizauon until that need is
supplied.
Now. If the present bureau system of the
War Department is faulty, a proposition to
amend IL is surely in order. But the Root
bill proposes no change in the system what
ever. IL the existing metho. of securing
personnel is bad. ii Is equaIy I'm order to
produce the evidence. showing how and why
ii is bad, and 10 devise a better one. The
engineers derive their new accessions di-
rect from the highest graduates of West
Point, and seem indisposed to change this
method. The ordnance ano signal corps
obtain theirs from the line OF the army
by competitive examinations of extreme
rigor, and by universal consent are getting
the ableSt and brightest minds in the army.
L ne other bureaus obtain theirs by selec-
ton from the line, and the President and
secretary of War are alone responsible for
the character of the men they select They
also have power to be as rigorous in their
selection as in the ordnance and signal
corps, no further leg station for that pur-
pose being necessary.
Why, then, did not the Root bill or some
or its many notifications propose a true
reorganization of the staff system, If that
system was at fault? If ii was the person
mel of the staff that was at fault, why per-
petuate that personnel in the very positions
In which they are CHARGED to have failed?
Yet we find the system perpetuated ana
the personnel retained ears must neces-
sarfly elapse before the proposed detail
plan of supplying the personnel of the staff
can begin TO show any decided effects for
the better. No officer now holding per-
manent commission I'm any staff corps is
disturbed Ii is only when vacancies oc-
cur that some one will be detailed to fill
cur that some one will be detailed to fill it,
But the system will remain as 1t was, unre-
organized. Verify, our method of deal
ing with the army is one of the most re-
markable instances of lack of intelligence
in legislation the world has ever seen,
