Night and day the sorrowful picture of

needed help was before Clara Barton.

to go as i volunteer unpaid army nurse

likewise called OH generous civilians to

do that in S'i4 she was appointed to

Miss Barton has natural gift for
organization ana executive work She
began life rs i teacher, which gave her
the discipline of system and superin

1865 President Lincoln commissioned
her in behalf of the government to
search for missing men of the Union
army. This occupied her till. weary

There Are Others.

Lately official circles in Washington
have been very much ripped up the
back because of impeachment proceed
ings against Federal Judge Charles
Swayne of Florida. He is charged with
several high crimes and misdemeanors.
The resolution so charging was re
ferred to the house committee on Judi
ciary; there We're majority and minori-
ty reports on all the charges except
one. The committee agreed unanimous
ly to impeach him for the high INSIDE
meanor of charging the United States
government $40 per day expense money
when holding court outside of his dis
trict, when. as a matter of fact, his ac-
tual expenses We're much under $40 per
day. In some quarters there is a dis
position to treat this very lightly,
though to man who is possessed of
mental integrity it looks like a grave
offense. Some of the judges friends
appear to intend to defend him on the
ground that other judges have got
money out of Uncle Sam in the same
manner 70 make the case clear, the
situation is this. When holding court
outside his own bailiwick a federal
judge is allowed the maximum of so
per day, provided he spends it. SO one
Of the judges friends wrote to Secre-
tary Shaw of the treasury to find out
the custom Of other judges in this mat
ter, and it turns out that there are
many other judges in the same catego-
ry with Judge Swayne Therefore an
effort will he made to clear Judge
Swayne simply because he is one Of
many who are getting more money
than the law allows. Rather Il peculiar
defense.
For instance, in Circuit B all the cir
cult and district judges except one
when holding court outside their baili-
wicks charge the maximum of $40 per
day for expenses.
In Circuit f all the judges charge less
than sic per day except one In Cir
cult d all the seven judges charge $40
per day expense money when outside
their own bailiwick. This makes u bad
showing for the federal Judiciary Sec
rotary Shaw owes it to himself and the
public to publish their names, and ey-
cry man who has drawn more than he
is entitled to should be impeached. If
a private citizen should do that, it
would be called by very harsh. blunt
name which it is not necessary to

ZUNI FAMILY LIFE.
A Village Locks Like Huge Hive of
Clay on "a Sandy Knoll.

The little half civilized children of
Zuni so aroused our curiosity that we
drove through forty miles of sand and
sagebrush, from the railroad at Fort
Wingate, to pay them a visit AS the
Indians do not provide for travellers we
took our hotel with us-tents, beds and
food and camped just outside their
village. Tie village looks like a huge
beehive made of clay and stuck fast
to the top of sandy knoll The hive
is filled with mass of cells-300 single
rooms, placed side by side and piled in
rows one on top Of another.
In each of these rooms lives Zuni
family. There are no inside stairways
leading from story to story. but if the
boys and girls living in one row wish
to pay a visit to a house above them
they must so outdoors and climb lad
der. On the slope between the village
and the Zuni river are q number of
small vegetable gardens, each one in
closed by Il mud wall. Zuni has no
inns, no shops, no saloons, not even
proper streets, but only narrow alleys
that thread their way through the
strange town. As we walked through
the village all the world came out to
see us. Girls and boys clustered on
the roofs or sat on the ovens-queer
little cones of mud which seem to grow
up ont Of the house tops-while IA
Tiers. mothers and babies peered out
from dark doorways to stare at tie
visitors When we had finished ON

ADMIRAL BYNG.
A Brave Sailor Who paid the PennI-
ty OF other Mems Folly.

fy of Other Mems Folly.
Two years after yoltaire left Prussia
George Keith came to visit him in Swift
zerland to plead the cause Of an Eng
fish friend, Byng. The story Of Byng
is familiar to all his countrymen. The
French had beaten the English on tie
sea, and, mad with disappointed rage
the laundering ministry of England
turned on their luckless instrument,
Byng. VoItaire was the lifelong friend
of Richelieu, the conqueror. But he
was, too, the man Of whom it was
said that for twenty years the redress
of judicial wrong, hung entirely on his
pen. On Dec. 20, 1856 lie wrote to
Richelieu telling Byng's story, and that
vainglorious person replied generously
enough in an open letter, wherein he
stated that had Byng continued the
fight the English fleet must have been
totally destroyed and that the admirals
misfortune came net from cowardice or
inefficiency, but from the hand of God
and the valor of the French.
Voltaire wrote to Byng. sending Rich

mems folly To Voltaire he left a
grateful message and copy of his de-
Tense, and in ''Candide, " with that ban
tering malice which is his alone, Vol
taire sharply satirizes the scene of the
admirars execution.
And why should this admiral be put
10 death?"
Because he has not killed enough
people. He fought with ii French ad-
miral and is not considered to have
been sufficiently near to him."
But, said Candide, the French adj
miral was just as far away from the
Engls h.7
THAT is certainly true was the an
swer. But in this country it is salu-
tary to put an admiral to death now
and then pour encourager les autres. -

The Mask Off.
For, 10. these many days the Repub-

friend par excellence Of the people, as
the Incompatible trust buster, but the

language of Daniel Webster. In fact,
the truth has "outed President Roose-
relt has been apotheosized in certain
STARTERS for his action touching the
Northern Securities case What he did
in that regard was well done, and there
is no disposition to detract from his
just fame, but he never originated that
assault on the trusts. The r.an who
really deserves that credit is ex-Gov-
ernor Van SAINT of Minnesota. and let's
see how he has been rewarded for trust
busting. Feeling that the laborer is
worthy of his hire and that the OK that
treadeth out the corn should not be

laudable- He had been governor of a
great state for two terms. So far as he
knew he was i'll good standing in the

believes to be the G. o. H.-the grand
old humbug. Kind and credulous read

That's richness" IF unfavorable
events do not prevent Why limit
prosperity to full decade on such con-
ditions? That evidently was an over
sight ON the part of Messrs. Henry
Clews & Co, bankers. Now, IF I'M

shouldn't prosperity, like Tennyson's

yernacular or in any other language.
'sIt will be clear tomorrow unless it is
cloudy How's that for a prediction?
Yet it is on all fours with the decade
