BABY's SAND PILE.

In a great big wooden bcz,
Nice and smooth to save her frocks,
Is the babys sand-pi.e, where all day she
plays;
And the things she thinks and makes.
From a house and barn to cakes,
Would keep, l think, her family all their
days.
Once she said she'd make pic
Or, at least she'd like to try
So up she straightway rolled each tiny
sleeve;
For her plums she used some stones,
Made fire of cedar cones
Not a real fire, you know, but make-be-
liere.
Next she baked some buns and bread,
For her dollies,' so she said,
"Cause, you see, they like my cooking
best of ALL"
Though her flour was only Sand
Dolls. she knew, would understand,
And excuse her ii her batch of dough
should fail
Sometimes cook will miss pan.
Or bowl, or spoon, or can;
But / think she's very sure where they'll
be found;
For she knows it's just such things
Baby uses when she brings
All her dollies to her sand-pile on the
ground.

Superintendent Harry NJ Hayes. of
the tannery, was walking past the pond
recently, when he thought to have a
little sport with Rags" by pretend
ing to hurl something into the pond
for the dog to go after. The dog
jumped in and, swimming to the cen
ter of the pond, was seen to plunge
about for a minute and then start 20
swim back.
The action of the dog excited Mr.
Hayes curiosity. He came to the con-
clusion that Rags" had suddenly be-
come i'll, and was upon the point Of
going to the rescue when in the mouth
of the dog he saw a long pole from
which line was trolling. Now and
then there was violent jerking Of
the pole and line which almost pulled
the dog from sight, but the plucky lit
tie fellow finally reached the bank in
an exhausted condition. In its mouth
was a 15-foot pole and line, on the
end of which was large catfish.

campaign funds was expected to be con-
tributed by those holding Office. 1t took
the politicians some time to appreciate
the full significance Of the law which
congress passed forbidding anyone ap-
preaching government employees with
demands for campaign money. 1t is
fully appreciated now, however, and the
clerks in the departments here are free
from such demands.
This does not mean that campaign
contributions are not made by govern
ment employees. Most of them feel that
it is their duty to aid the parties to
which they belong to win elections and
obtain control of the government; so
they voluntarily send in their mites.
This feeling is pretty general among
the male employees, but now that the
women in the government service I'M
derstand that there is nothing to COM
pei them to give, are rather chary in Of
fering of their comfortable salaries to
the treasury Of either political party.
The civil service regulations and laws
have removed one source of enthusiasm
in national elections by prohibiting the
promise of positions or promotion as q
result Of political activity.

modern typesetting machines should be
used. Their introduction has been grad
ual, but in short time the bulk of the
government printing will be done upon
these machines.
The public printer states that IA new
typesetting machines are now being in
stalled, but this will not mean the dis
missal of any of the regular force. This
dissipates one of the objections, which
was that men would be thrown out of if
mechanical typesetters were intro
duced. Mr.. Palmer has had his printers
attend schools of instruction, where they
have studied the methods of operations
and learned to manipulate the key
boards of the machines now in general
use. These men will simply leave their
cases and sit down before the machines.
while they draw their usual compensa-
ton from the government treasury.
There is temporary force employed at
times when there is alrush at the print
ing office, and these men may be affected
by the change, but the steady growth Of
government printing is sure to make
places fol all of them in time.

MOST CHARMING OF WOMEN
It Is She Who Can Be Amiable and
Agreeable at All Times and
to All Persons.

1t is good thing for woman to be
beautiful. 1t is her duty to be, as far
as she can, well dressed and we'll
groomed. But beauty may fade with
the passing of years. Bright eyes may
be dimmed and rosy cheeks may grow
pale; the luster of softly curling love-
locks may be silvered and many tears
may chase smiles from laughing lips.
Poverty and loving service to others
may deprive woman Of the where
wlthal for pretty gowning. But if she
once be mistress of the art of agreea
biIity she can never cease to attract
and to possess hold on the interests
of life around her.
To be agreeable woman must be
a.so wildly alive to things outside of
herself and sympathizer in whatever
concerns the fancies of others, old and
young. She may have opinions of her
owr, but she must learn to hear the
opinions of others and to accord them
full weight and value And this will
render her infinitely more agreeable
than the obtrusion of views which she
may hold. even though those views
may be eminently correct.
Tie agreeable woman must be a
good listener on any subject. AS a
hostess it is her especial province,
around her own board or in her own
drawing room, to deftly set the ball Of
conversation a rolling. But having
once done so, the truly agreeable wo1n-
an is not thereafter heard for her
much speaking. She only supplies the
gentle flip necessary to prevent stag
nation and to keep the interchange of
friendly gossip and thought on the
plane of bright and sparkling wit and
humor
The amiability is not confined tn
class, age or station. 1t may be attained
to in overlooking measure by the hum
blest as by the highest, by the Oldest
as well as by the youngest. 1t is the
one art that is worth more to it's pos

Fred Grant, son of the great war COM
mander, to be Corbin's successor in COM
mand Of the department of the Atlantic
and Maj Gen. Fred Funston, whose me-
teoria career in the army since the war
with Spain has made unique chapter
in the army's history, to take command
of the department Of the west
The assignment of Gen. Corbin to the
Philippines is significant of future
honors in store for him. President
Roosevelt with that devotion to civil
service principles that has marked all
his public career, believes that in the
army men should be fitted by experience
for positions to which they may be pro-
NOTED. He believes that the lieutenant
general of the army and chief of staff
should be an officer who has had prac-
teal experience in every department Of
the service. For this reason he consid-
ers it essential that this officer, who is
virtually head Of the army. although
nominally the president and secretary
OF war are superior to him, should be
thoroughly acquainted with conditions
in the Philippines. 1t is appreciated
that the most important army problems
that must be solved are involved in that
archipelago.
With this end in view, President
Roosevelt has asked Gen. Corbin to take
command in the Philippines The as
signment is somewhat of surprise to
those who unwarrantedly supposed that
the president would promote Brig
Gen. Leonard Wood to military com
mand of those islands. President Roose-
welt is Gen. Woods friend, but not to the
extent of Partially. His assignment of
Gen. Corbin to the Philippines is proof
of this, as it is no secret that the friend
lest feeling does not exist between Cor
bin and Wood. When Gen. Corbin has

Parker, the boy, is sure enough type
of young America. Heis brave and bold,
always on his feet, hates to be awakened
in the morning and breads the hour when
he is told to get ready for prayers and
bed Once he had curls that hung around
his neck, but he got rid of them. They
looked pretty enough, but he was leased
and called baby" and pretty little girl
until the shears had to be applied.
In disposition Parker is the gentlestof

not to ask for second biscuit at the

his nurse and make that gentle young
woman bury her nose in sand and dirt

in Virginia. Such position in this
rock-ribbed democratic state naturally
gave him notoriety.
During President Grants administra-
ton he, was given the place of consular
agent to Zanzibar, South Africa, as
slight recognition of services he rem
dered to the party.
If the idea was to commit him to OBJ
security by sending him to that far-off
station, the state department reckoned
without its man. He had not been there
very long before he came prominently
before the public. A man of some
means, he set up an establishment with
his family that was considerably above
those maintained by the native officials,
no matter how high their rank. The
Judge insisted on the observance of Of
fetal etiquette and the amenities of dip
lamatic life.
The manners of the natives were very
primitive, and their customs grated
upon the finer feelings Of the judge and
his family. 1t was the habit of the
queen of Zanzibar and her court to take
her daily bath in the waters Immediate
ly in front of the United States consul
late. The dusky monarch was not
trammeled by any restrictions as to bath
ing costume, and the appearance of her
and her attendants with no suggestion
of bathing suit shocked the United
States representative, who warned them
| to desist from the habit. He accom-
| panied the warning with a threat ii they
| persisted in bathing in this style he
would drive them out of the water with a
gun.
The queen refused to regard the
threat seriously, and the next day she
and her suite assembled at the usual
place and prepared to battle. The judge
wasted no words, but took his gun,
which he had charged with salt and pep
per, and fired into the crowd. Mcqueen
received most of the singing charge,
and there was tremendous connection
The incident was reported to Washing
ton, and the judge recalled. He has lived
most of the time since in Washington
and has always delighted in relating his
experiences as the representative Of
the United States in far-off Zanzibar.

GREAT FUN FOR THE BOYS
The "Really Truly" Way to Play In

One fine thing about playing Indian
is that there is nearly as much fun get

buy your equipment, but the cheaper
and better way is to make it yourself,

For arrows, make with gimlet small

drive wire nails, two inches long or
longer, and pound the heads we'll down.
Then split the board into strips, each
with nail in the head, and white them
down to arrow size. Wrapping the
heads with Irvine will prevent their
splitting.
