Lieut.. Col. Hugh L. Scott, of the
United States volunteers, formerly cap
tain of the Seventh cavalry, is known in
the army as an officer who probably
knows more about Indian sign language
than any other living man. At one time
Col Scott made a standing offer Of 81
to any redskin who could show him a
sign used byrany tribe which ne did not
know. The colonel is also peculiarly alb
sent minded, a fact which was empha-
sized at his marriage a few years ago.
AS he stood at the altar with his bride,
the officiating clergyman ask d him the
usual question as to taking the woman
beside him to be his wife. The colonel
placed two fingers upon his left eyebrow
After an embarrassing pause the clergy
man repeated the question, and again
the two fingers Went solemnly to the left
eyebrow. 1t was not until the best man
poked the bridegroom in the ribs that
he came back to earth and articuiated

SHIRT WAISTS Go.


Milwaukee Sentinel
The shirt waist question has been de-
cided at the White house in the affirma-
tive.
A young man with striped trousers,
straw hat and a shirt waist of variegated
hue entered the mansion recently and
passed into the east room.
The ushers, in their tightly buttoned
blue coats, stood aghast, Wien they re-
covered from their horror they reported
the arrival of the coatless visitor to Cap
tain Dubois, chief of staff. Dubois hur-
ried to the east room and took a look
at the young man and his raiment and
decided, after elaboration, that he might
remain.
Thus precedent has been established,
and though male shirt waists are barred
from the Washington schools and other
public places in the national capital, they
may come and go at the White house

Prominent among the arrivals in the

the Red River drainage board, and in
response to queries, he stated that the
inspection of bitches would begin early in
July, and extensive repairs are con-
templated. The greatest trouble is eX-
perlenced with the partially dry bitches,
which gather weeds and sand, the result
being that bars are formed, so that the
flow of water is INSTRUCTED. The new law
provides for the drainage of state lands
only which comprise about 25O0,0OO acres,
which are scattered over twenty-six coun-
ties, about one-tenth being located in the

Interview Not Awesome.

President Roosevelt is not only an
approachable man, but he displays a
cordially toward people he meets that
makes a lasting impression, says a
writer in the Chicago Tribune. When
one is introduced to Mr.. Roosevelt he
cannot help feeling that he is an object
of no little interest to him. The new
acquaintance goes away telling that the
greeting was not one of mere formal
ity. If he has had a story to tell the
President he knows that it has been
heard and absorbed. A new page at
the state Capitol took his first note to
Roosevelt when Governor with fear
and trembling. Thoughts of the great
ness of the man he was to see over
whelmed him. When he reappeared
from the Governors office after de-
livering the note he was all smiles,
and to another page he remarked en-
Enthusiastically:
Say, amt Teddy peach?"
This is not familiarity. That
same boy would run seven miles for
Mr.. Roosevelt and be willing to punch
the boy who said anything disrespect-
full. He entered the Governors pres
ence expecting to be overawed he
came out with the impression that he
had known him for long time and
was glad of it.

ROOSEVELT AND THE MERIT sYs-

TEN.
The merit system has a friend In
President Roosevelt. He has been an
ardent civil service reformer for years.
Ir his letter accepting the nomination
for Vice President he said: ut is very
important that in our own home ad-
ministration the merely ministerial
and administrative offices, where the
duties are entirely non-political, shall
partisan affiiations; but this is many
be filled absolutely without reference to
times more important in the newly &C
quired islands. The merit system is in
it's essence as democratic as our COM
mon school system, for it simply
means equal chances and fair play for
all"
1t is fair to assume that the views
he held then in respect to the minor
Offices he still holds. His convictions
in regard to them are too deeply
grounded to permit of any sudden
change in them. He was United States
Civil Service Commissioner under both
Presidents Harrison and Cleveland,
merit system popular and a success.
While a Police Commissioner of the
City of New York he applied the merit
system and found it to work admir-
ably, and he adhered to that system
when Governor of New York. 1t is
pretty safe to say therefore that there
will be no backward step in the mat
ter of civil service reform while he is
President.
He is right in saying that IL is even
more important that the merit system
shall be applied in our island pos
sessions than it is in our home offices.
If the island appointments are made
for political reasons there will be
scandals without end. 1t will be prac-
tically impossible to keep corruption
out of the civil service. We shall have
any number of Neelys in the Philip
pines. Already there have been re-
ports of corrupt practices there.
OF course the politicians will endea-
vor to influence the President to use
the patronage at his disposal for po-
litical purposes. Even Congressman
who pretend to favor civil service re-
form use every opportunity to have
appointments made for political rea-
sons. They want to use the offices in
their respective districts to get re-
nominations, or to reward those who
have helped them in getting into Con-
gress. If. however, the President lets
it be understood at the very beginning
of his term of office that it is his in
tention to adhere to the merit system,
the politicians will cease to importune
him, because they will recognize the
uselessness of doing so.
And 1t is better from every point
of view that officials who have nothing
whatever to do with the policy of the
government should be selected because
of their fitness for the duties required
of them. Unless we are greatly mis-
taken the merit system will be on
much firmer ground at the end of
President Roosevelt's term than it
was at the beginning of it.

A Fable From the Persian.

Two young men once started in life
with equal prospects, says the Chicago
Record Herald. One of them had a
yearning to see the world, but the 9TH
er had no desire to stray from home.
He said his native township was good
enough for him.
The man who wanted to see things
started out, and after many years and
much travelling, during which he had
looked upon most of the wonders of
the globe he was arrested one day as
a tramp, and because he had neither
money nor friends he was sent up
as a common vagrant
The man who said home was good
enough for him sat around most of the
time and played checkers with old
people who had nothing else to do.
He never went to a circus or to the
county fair for fear some villain of the
deepest dye might pick his pockets. and
he wouldn't haul his crops to market
because he thought is was more than
likely that he would be cheated If he
did.
The farm he worked was very poor,
but he wouldn't move from it to a bet
ter one because he said he was used
to it and might not get along we'll in
new surroundings. At last he quit
putting out crops, for he saw that 1t
was only a waste of good seed, and
one day the overseers took him to the
poorhouSe.
