RED TAPE BY THE MILE.

There is red tape in the methods of the American war department, but for gorgeous complication of system, re- cent illustration in the British army eclipses all records on this side of the water. An officer had occasion to use a screw-driver just a plain, ordinary twenty-five cent screw-driVer. In moment of rashness he decided not to buy it on his own account, but made formal application for the implement from the supply of the government stores. The request for a screw-driver was read, approved, indorsed, by one officer after another up the long ladder whose rounds were festoOned with red tape-until it reached the topmost seat of authority. whose action was final. There the application was sol emnly considered and started back on it's downward path through the various official channels. until it reached the audacious officer who had made the re quest, and forgotten about it in the intervening weeks.
 He was informed that screw-drivers were supplied only in boxes of tools,

InVaIid's Gossip Book.

For the "shut in" nothing appeals more keenly than Q gossip book This takes the form of sort of gen eral diary. in which each visito. 10 the sick room is supposed to report on on line a piece of news that he or she thinks will be of interest to the in valid.

It keeps the invalid in touch with the outer world. and does away with that particularly bad element in the sick room-too much conversation.
 When the shut in'' is left alone such a book affords untold satisfaction. its terse history of events furnishing the pleasantest food for thought.

How hen FAIL When Shot.

Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall. where tie victim
Of supposed death SHOT strikes an at
titude, clasps his hand TO his heart,
Stiffens every joint and muscle,
breathes Historically and goes down
like q log toppled over from the end.
Another popular yet erroneous notion
is that men shot through the vitals
leap into the air and go down in dra-
matte attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field In striking positions,
but often all examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall.
AS Il rule 4 man who is hit above the
hips sinks down. The slighter the
wound the more commotion, for the
body iEstinctively resists, just as it
does when one slips or is pushed or coll
lides with some object. But wound
i'll vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink at once or reel and tune

Benicier, CAL,
Editor Enterprise
Dear Sir
am under promise to write to
several of my friends in Fitz-
gerald, and I take this way so all
can hear from us after so long a
time.
We had a pleasant TRIP, the
gentlemanly agent of the Burling-
ton Route met us at Fitzgerald
and accompanied us to Atlanta
and wired the agent at St. Louis
to meet us at the train and Sc
cure our sleeper which was done
and the agent took great pains to
point out all points Of interest on
the route.
We did not leave our tourist
sleeper untilwe got to our journey
end and l would say to anyone
contemplating the trip that they
will make no mistake i'll taking
the Burlington & Southern Pa
cific route.
My wife stood the trip well
and was feeling better when we
got through than when we started
and at this time is feeling better.
It has been cold and wet the
most of the time. They all say
the coolest and wettest they ev-
er saw for the time of year, it is
pretty place here everything
is green the grass is a perfect
mat every place, and clover where
it has not been fed off is e to ii
inches high and as thick as it can
stand.
Some kinds of garden truck
grows all the winter the Ian d is
very fertile. Right at this
place there is not much fruit,
but 20 or so miles from here
is one of the finest fruit sections
in the state.
We arc 80 miles from SanTran-
cisco on the bay or rather the
straits of Carquinez, this was at
once the capitol of the state, and
is an old town. The largest fer
ry boat in the world is here, on
which whole trains arc ferried
over at one time: 20 loaded freight
cars have been taken at one
time. We are 7 miles from Mares
Island where the government
navy yards are located. It is no
uncommon sight to see 4 trains
of cars at one time, and several
vessels going up and down the
bay; passenger trains with u
coaches. So you see there is
some business being done on a
large scale. There are several
industries. There are several
tanneries, one said to be the larg-
est in the world.
am glad to read in the En-.
terprisc that the colony is still
prospecting. Everything here is
done on a large scale. horses
