THE WISE BETTOR.

The foxy man the card surveyed
To see what horses should be played.
He picked the first. and then the second
And knew for sure when fortune beck
oned-
He studied thoughtfully a table
Which showed the records of each stable
And figured out line of dope
Which made a certainty of hope.
There was no question Of the third:
Breakdown would win; il was absurd
Fer all the rest to try to start:
He knew il from his little chart
The fourth was just as big cinch;
He had il figured TO an inch.
Likewise the fifth, also the last;
The winners were as good as past.
Now he can drive the bookies wild
Like grabbing gumdrops from a child
Twill be when he invades the ring
And lays a bet on each sure thing.
But when out TO the track he went,
He didn't take along cent.

WAR CORRESPONDENT
OF THE FUTURE.

In devising a system of war corre-
spondence it is necessary to keep in
mind two essentials-first. the right OF
the public to know how a war is con-
Quoted. and, second. the right Of the
military authorities to conceal certain
preparations. movements and at times
even results. says Frederick w Unger
in the December Booklovers' Magazine
To reconcile these apparently conflict
ing necessities may be difficult, but II
is essential to try TO do so. The first
step is TO provide for the registration
of correspondents In times OF peace
the War Department should receive ap-
plications for correspondents licenses.
and after fully satisfying themselves
regarding the applicants qualifications
the examining officials should place the
names of those found worthy upon an
approved list. When occasion arises
correspondents can then be selected
from a body OF men of proved ability
and assured character.
The men thus chosen should be given
the full privileges of the front and al
lowed to write as they choose. Their
material should be sealed and commit
ted to the military authorities, to be
dispatched when these officials see Mt
The matter could thus be held until the
official in charge was satisfied that no
harm could come 10 campaign opera
tions from publication. but when pub
lished the letters should be given to the
world precisely as the correspondents
wrote them. After all, 1t is not i'm
portant that the public should know
Immediately of every movement in the
field, but 1t is of the highest import
ance that the military authorities
should always act with the knowledge
that all the essential facts of their
operations will reach the public sooner
or later. Civilization needs witness
an unDrejudiced witness-at the very
front in warfare to guard against the
grave dangers of militarism which
feels itself exempt from criticism.

ships is the quantity of water displaced
by the vessel. The weight of the dis
placed water equals that of the vessel.
A vessel having a displacement of 5000
tons has a tonnage capacity which is
much less. While a warship's capacity
is less than its displacement, it is the
other way with passenger vessels.

Brewer in his Hand Book to have orig

of giving a rider a parting drink after
he had mounted and had his feet in
the stirrups. In the north of Eng
land it was called the cup at the
door" The custom of the stirrup-cup
is thus referred to by Sir Walter Scott

Economic Value of Partridges.

The ornithologists of the Department of Agri-
culture have been making an investigation of the
economic value of the ~bobwhite, as a result of
which it is now announced that that bird is "prob-
ably the most useful abundant species on the
farms" Field observations, experiments and ex-
aminations show that it consumes large quantities
of weed seeds and destroys many of the worst
insect pests with which farmers contend, and yet
it does not injure grain, fruit or any other crop.
1t is figured that from September to April 80,
annually, in Virginia alone, the total consumption
of weed seed by bobwhites amounts to 573 tons.
Some of the pests which it habitually destroys,
the report says, are the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, which damages the cotton crop upwards
of SIS, O0O, 900 a year; the pests of the potato
crop, the cotton worms, which have been known
to cause $3O,O00,OOO loss in a year; the chinch-bug
and the Rock Mount locust.~ The report urges
measures to secure the preservation of the bob
whites ia this country.
