IMPORTANCE OF THE ARMY
MANEUVERS AT MANASSAS

The army maneuvers at Manassas
are Of deepest interest to students
Of military problems, not only in this
country, but abroad. A body of $4,000
troops, embracing not only all the
branches Of the regular service, but
militia from various states, had the
experience Of camp life on a monster
scale with field operations of the
most instructive nature. So large a
force had never before assembled in
time Of peace in this country, and
American citizen soldiers have never
had the benefit of such instruction.
Many problems will be solved by
these maneuvers. They will serve,
for one thing, to show whether the
work Of general staff is as great an
improvement on the old system as it
has been expected to be. They will
bring out clearly what improvements
have been made in the commissary

Tom briefly explained, and he had
just finished when the crowd gave
way for the mayor to ascend alone.
"Senor Americana, | demand your
peaceful surrender in the name of the

Mrs. LonafeIIow,s Dinner.

Speaking Of company" coming re
minds me of story Boston man
tells of the poet Longfellow. Mr.,
Longfellow had a soul above sordid
material considerations, and on one
occasion he brought guest home to
dine without advising Mrs. Longfel
low beforehand. The guest was a dis.
tinguished Englishman, who had just
arrived with letter of introduction.
The day was Friday, and the cook be.
ing a Catholic the family had fallen
into the habit Of eating no meat at
the Friday dinner. Mrs. Longfellow
thought despairingly of the fish and
then, realizing, l dare say, that dry
bread would be feast with Longfel
low at the table, led the guest to the
dining room with a faint heart. The
fish was brought in. The distin'
guished guest glanced at 1t, and then
he smiled at his hostess.
81 know Mrs. Longfellow will par.
don me-" he said, "if decline the fish
course. "-Washington Post.

to take care of themselves in the
field. The state camps can not sup
ply the necessary experience, for in
them the soldier is not compelled to
rely sufficiently on his own resources.
In field operations in time of peace
the conditions approach much closer
to those found in time of war, and
the knowledge which will be gained
by the militia STATS alone will be
worth the expense to the states con-
cerned. At the same time the COM
handing officers get an insight into
those larger tactics which must be
only book learning to them when they
are at home, and the men acquire
something of independence Of action
and self-reliance, which constitute the
finest qualities of the well-trained reg
ular.
The general public, too, comes in
for some share of the instruction. II

VIII Make Home in Berlin.

Miss Alice H. Luce, one of the few
American women receiving rare hon.
ors from a European university, has
recently decided to make her perma-
nent home in Germany, and with this
end in view has purchased the famous
Willard School for American Girls in
Berlin. The school has a record, hav.
ing had a number of prominent Amer
lean girls on its roster during its
eighteen years of existence. 1t was at
the Willard school that Mrs. Grover
Cleveland spent two years before her
marriage. Miss Luce is a graduate
Of Wellesley college and among 9TH
er honors has received the degree of
doctor of philosophy from Heidelberg
university.

kssn on Oriental Lawbreakers.

Hugh Reilly, a Philadelphia police
man, is one of the most valuable men
on the Quaker City force. This is
because of his intimate acquaintance
with the Chinese language, of which
he has made a study. Reilly, who is
an Irishman by birth, has arrested
300 Oriental lawbreakers in the ten
years he has been an officer. Many
a time he has taken his life in his
hand while chasing slant-eyed crimi-
nails through dark Railways in China
town, and on several occasions his
uniform has been ripped to pieces by
knives in unseen hands, but so far he
has escaped serious injury.

Comes to REPRESENT Panama.

Panama, having taken its place as
a national power, is quickly establish
ing her various state departments
and has already selected the men who
are to constitute her diplomatic corps
in the countries that have recognized
her independence. Senior De obaldis
was sent to the United States because
of bis intimate knowledge of canal
affairs. For many years he has ad-
vanced very liberal views concerning
the policy of certain Central American
republics in retarding the construc-
ton of the water way. Panama has
commissioned Senior De Obaldis to give
our government every possible assist
ance in furthering the work.

SNAKES HAUL HIS BOAT.
Truthful Fisherman Tells Story Which
Must Be Believed.

Truthful Fisherman Tells Story Which
Must Be Believed.
Dr. Bergesser Of Nevada Is the pos
SCISSOR Of lot Of trained snakes which
some time ago he deposited in Tucker
Lake. AS soon as the doctor gets in q
skiff these trained snakes, which have
the faculty of distinguishing theil
master from anyone else, swim to his
skiff, and hooking their tails over the
bow of his boat, haul him to the place
where the bass are playing thickest
When the doctor prepares to fish
these educated reptiles unlock theiI
tails and swim away.
After the doctor catches a boatload
Of bass, these intelligent snakes re.
turn, hook their tails over the boat
and pull him to shore, always bidding
him good-by with a hearty tailshake,
which they hold above the water in
a most friendly manner.
This is the reason DR.. Bergesser can
catch fish where other successful
anglers fail.
The doctor also says that he has
noted certain kind of frog which sits
on the bank and warns the fish not to
bite, and he always has to shoot these
frogs before he can have any luck
fishing.
The doctor is not only a successful,
but he is also truthful fisherman, as
persons will realize who read of the
manner of his success as thus stipu
lated.
