Gen. Ainsworth Advocates Reform in
the Service.
Congressman Gillett's committee on
reform in the civil service held as2oth-
er interesting hearing to-day, says
Washington dispatch, at which Brig.
Gen. F. c. Ainsworth, chief of the rec
ord and pension Office in the war de-
partment, gave a forceful statement
of his ideas, as the result of years of
experience. Gen. Ainsworth favored
security of tenure in office for govern
ment employees and retirement sys-
TEN making it obligatory for en-
ployes to retire at the end of long
reaching a certain age. He said that
until the civil service was placed on
a similar basis to the war and navy
departments, thus Kidding the service
of the dead wood, effective and eco
nomical service could not be expect
system in every branch of the Serv-
ice, by which clerks would be rated,
and would by this means eliminate
all possibility of political influence in
securing promotions for clerks. If
the clerks were given the right to re-
tire at a certain time on half or three
fourths pay, they would devote their
whole interest to doing good work,
and not be dividing their interests in
seeking employment outside by which
to earn provision for old age. Gen.
Ainsworth stated that the estimated
cost of a retired list in the civil SER
vice, the age of retirement being
placed at GA years, as in the army,
would be, on a three-fourths pay
basis, 1919 per cent of the active list.
If retired at Ga on half-pay, the cost
would be 6.75 per cent of the active
list If the age of retirement should
be placed at 70 years, the cost at
three-fourths pay would be 5.25 per
cent of the active list, and at half
pay $50 per cent of the active list.

and up to the right, agonizedly re-
peating to himself, over and over
again, the instructions he had laid
down, and which the dizzy whirl of
the snow mingled ever confusedly in
his mind. At last they had the full
gale again in their faces as they
reached the level of the prairies. and
cast loose for what they thought was

age a quarter of mile, the danger

the cruel plains and the bitter storm

Once again Providence aided them,
by agency of brute instinct. One Of
the horses threw up it's head and

Franklin, bending down his head so

When we git around the corner Wen
be all right"
But when they got around the cor
rer they were not all right. At such
times the mind of man is thrown off
its balance, so that it does strange
and irregular things. Both these
men had agreed a moment ago that
the wind should be on the right; now
they disagreed, one thinking that
Hancock's house was to the left. the
other to the right, their ideas as to
the direction of the Buford ranch
being equally at variance. The horses
decided it, breaking once again down
wind, and striking low-headed, sui
len trot, as though they would out
march the storm. And SO the two
| argued, and so they rode, until at
J last there was a lurch and a crash,
and they found themselves in rough
| going, the sled half overturned, with
| no fence. no house, no landmark of
any sort visible, and the snow drift
| ing thicker than before. They sprang
out and righted the sled. but the
horses doggedly pulled on, plunging
down and down; and they followed,
clinging to reins and sled as best
| they might.
| We've lost the trail, but we done
the best we could" said Sam doggedly,
| going to the heads of the horses,
which looked questioningly back at
him, their heads dropping, their
breath freezing upon their coats in
spiculae of white.
Wait" cried Franklin. II know
Hthis hole! I've been here before. The
teams come here for shelter"
"Oh, it's the White Woman breaks
why, sure!" cried Sam in return.
Yes, that's where it is. We're less
than half a mile from the house. Wait,
i now, and let me think. I've got to
figure this out a while"
IT'S off there" said Sam, pointing
across the couleej "but we can't get
| there" 49,.
Yes, we can, old man; yes, we
can!" insisted Franklin. I'll tell you.
Let me think Good God! why can t
| think? Yes-see here, you go down
the bottom of this gully to the mouth
of the coulee, and then we turn to the

house is right in front of you. Listen
now! The winds northwest and the

Interest In Alfalfa.

The interest in alfalfa seems always
on the increase. Ten years ago the
farmers of Kansas were discussing
whether or not they could grow this
crop, while now the same discussion
is being carried on in the states far to
the east and north. Alfalfa was first
introduced into this country by the
monks who settled on the coast OF
California In the early part OF the
last century. They doubtless brought
1T from South America, where 1t had
been grown for at least 100 years be-
fore its introduction into California.
1t is claimed that it worked its way
eastward overland, but this may be
doubted to some extent, as 1t Is GER
tain that it was grown in the South
ern Atlantic states a generation ago,
in tentative way. But that most OF
the spread has been from the Cali
fornia fields seems certain, the plan.

over the mountains and through the
arid deserts of Arizona and New Mex.
leo. 1t has now become the great
hay crop Of the semi-arid region.
Alfalfa was looked upon as a plant
adapted to the dry sunny climates
only, but It is now coming to be con-
sidered cosmopolitan plant Of great
range Of growth. ut is certain that
where it has been grown in large
quantities II has enormously increased
the productivity Of the land and in
creased the number of live stock that
can be carried on each acre. The
ranchmen of the West are now using
immense quantities of alfalfa in the
winter feeding of stock being pre-
pared for market.

where Franklin sat on Christmas eve,
listening to the clinking rattle of the
nard snow on the pane. Sam was
white from head to foot. His face
was anxious, his habitual uncertainty
and diffidence were gone.
Cap" said he, with no prelude,
the whole country below'll be froze
out. The billiards. awful"
Il know it," said Franklin. I'VE
must get out with help soon as we
can. How far down do you think the
danger line begins?"
We'll, up to three or four miles
out it's thicker settled, an most o
the folks could git into town. AS fur
out as thirty mile to the south, they
might git little timber yet, over on

Franklin felt a tightening at his
neart About fifteen to twenty
five miles," he said. Sam nodded
Both were silent.

presently, you've allus told me not
to say nuthin' bout the folks down
to the Halfway house, an l hain't
said a thing. l low you got Jared
down there some. l know how that
is. All the same, reckon maybe you
sorter have a leanin' that way still.
You may be worried SOM"
Franklin groaned as he sank into
a chair, his face between his hands.
Then he sprang up. 1--WE must go!'
he cried.
Il know it," said Sam simply.
Get ready" exclaimed Franklin,
reaching for his coat.
What do you mean. Cap-now?"
yes, to-night-at once
"You id fool" said Sam.
you coward" cried Franklin.
What! Are you afraid to go out
when people are freezing-when-"
Sam rose to his feet, his slow feat
ures working That amt right, Car"
said he 81 know I'm scared to do
some things. but II don't believe
I'm no coward l amt afraid to go
down there, but l won't go tonight,
ner let you go, fer it's the same as
death to start now. We couldn't
maybe make it in the daytime, but
I'm within to try it then. Don't you
call no coward to me. 1t amt right"
Franklin again cast himself into his
chair, his hand and arm shifting on
the table Il beg your pardon, Sam, y
said he presently. Il know you're
not a coward. Well start together in
the morning. But it's killing me to
wait. Good God! they may be freez-
ing now, while we're here, warm and
safe!" ...
That's So" said Sam sententious'
ly. We can't help it. We all got to
go some day." His words drove
Franklin again to his feet, and he
walked up and down, his face gone
pinched and old.
At dawn the wind lulled. The
clouds swept by and the sun shone
for an hour over vast landscape
buried under white. Sam was ready
to starr, having worked half the night
making runners for a sled at which
his wild team snorted in the terror
of unacquaintedness. The sled box
was piled full of robes and coal and
food and liquor-all things that seem
ed needful and which could hurriedly
be secured.
