THE PRESIDENTS TURKEY

auxiliary came into great use during
the war of the Rebellion. The pom
toon train, however, is a very cum
bersome affair when the ordinary nat
bottom boat with the necessary UNI
beers and accessories are packed on 10
what Is known as the "pontoon tram.
The German army recently adopted a
sort of sectional pontoon boat when
allowed of greater mobility to the
train.
However, the soldiers of the United
States Engineer Battalion have been
drilling in the use of pontoon boats
made of heavy canvass stretched over
a wooden frame. These boats are wa
ter-tight and when assembled are cap
able of supporting six or more men;
A boat may be taken apart and packed
into a small bundle light enough to be
carried by one man. Upon arrival at
a small stream all that is necessary Is
for each man to unstrap his bundle,
quickly put the boat into shape, and
launch it into the water. The wagons
which must necessarily carry the TIM
bering and flooring Of the bridge 10
be, can be sent forward with a much
smaller guard than is necessary when
the cumbersome pontoon train wagons
each carrying q boat or section, are in
motion.

from Tennessee and knows all the emil
nent men Of that State. He was tell
ing a good story the other night OF Col.
Sanford and Major Saunders, prom.
inent business men Of the Knoxville re-
ion. They were once on Pullman COM
ing this way. It was hot and they sat in
pajamas far into the night. An old
man came in, lighted a cigar, smoked
and said nothing. They did not recog-
nize him, and kept on talking about
the miserably poor representation, their
State had in Congress. 1T is a pity"
said one of them that a State like
ours should have such poor worthless
men at Washington. Our senator's are
no good. old Harris is played out and
Josiah Patterson is the only man IN
the House that amounts to anything.
At this remark the stranger arose and
in a tone of thunder began to hurl
inyective and abuse at the two men,
att ia about time l was taking part IN
this conversation" he yelled and Went
on to tell a few warm things to the
astonished party Of two. When ne
had subsidized q bit one OF them asked
"But who are you to get 90 mad abou'
III" "Who am I? Well, ! am Senator
Harris. ding you, and l have muci
more To saw to scoundrels like you
Roth men were amazed and they has
tened to apologize. They all became
friendly, and the old man OFTEN toi'
the story on himself.

Ono Good Use for MiIIiOnaircS.

Regret has been often expressed re.
garding the threatened extinction Oh
many species of wild animals.
of late, however, some OF the world 5
miEionaires have begun to devote their
attention to the task of preserving
them, and numbers of wealthy men
have established or endowed parks
and private geological gardens, in
which buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes,
gnus, and other dwindling species are
carefully cherished. In some cases
herds Of bison are kept, after the fash'
ion of deer, on the estates OF great
landowners. =,
Nor are Europe and Asia behind
hand. Large preserves of big game
are to be found in France and Ger
many. and in England the Duke Of
Bedford has made a wonderful collec
ton of wild" animals at Woburn Park
It comprises many rare animals, IN
GLIDING waterbuck, gnus, sable ante
lopes, and some almost extinct species
| of deer.

How many, or rather how few, peo-
pie would have known how to go about
locating this person. The letter was
postmarked Florence. Mrs. Collins
own store Of information told her that
the Cambria Iron Works OF Johns
town, Pa, wss employing large num-
Der OF Italians and she sent the letter
on. Sure enough Mr.. "Yanac Lech
was there and received the letter
which. without Mrs. Collins assist
ance would never have fallen into his
hands.
A facetious student at the University
of Virginia wrote to young society
girl in Washington and addressed the
envelope entirely in Greek. 1t takes
greater obstacles than that to balB
Mrs. Collins and the young woman re.
revived her letter as promptly as Il

was promptly forwarded to Mr.. Mays

Looked Upon as a Cochran Oddly.
The bill was treated with derision
last winter, both by the daily press
and by gentlemen of the House OIL
Representatives, the Senate ana
Third House. 1t was worth a laugh,
people said. There was very little
corruption, they averred. The idea
that corporations employed legisla-
tive agents and disbursed huge sums
of money for or against certain bills
was moonshine doled out by sensa-
tionalists to crafty the morbid fancy
and the appetite for scandal OF Pc
culiar class of people. .

Patti Lyle Collins, head Of the Open

Each holiday season brings to her
desk thousands and thousands OF

only Of the salary she draws twice

Not 60 with Mrs. Collins. Through
her generous heart, her love for chill

two of her own when she, too, believed
in the real existence of the children's
patron saint, this lovable woman at
tends first to her duties Of returning
the letters to their writers II this Is

Christmas Presents to the Children
When such thing is possible Mrs.
Collins finds out the addresses OF these
children, sends them some little thing
thew have asked for and gets her
friends interested in them until she
has now earned the title which came
to her so long ago merely through her
associations with this part OF Uncle
Sans postoffice.
This is rather the sentimental side
Of Mrs. Collins work, but there Is an
other and scientific phase Of it which
has made her invaluable to the Gov
eminent. She Is the official chlro-
graphical expert Of the Department
and through her efforts each year
ninety per cent. of mail matter bear

Public May Demand Legislation.
There are two questions involved
i'm any fair consideration Of these dis
closures. The first Is the sirability
OF corporations taking such an active
and influential part in political cam
paigns and the second is the moral
ity of corporation officers making
contributions on their own initiative
out Of. funds that are really trust
funds.
OF course a law can be made pro-
hibiting campaign contributions by
insurance companies or other corpo'
rations. This may correct the abuse
or 1t may not. Laws are not always
obeyed or enforced. There, for exam
pie are the laws Of Moses. The worlc
has been violating them for thou
sands of years. II might be consid
cred fair If the directors Of every In
surance company, savings bank, trus
company or other corporation hand
ling the peoples money, would adop
a rule forbidding absolutely all sucl
contributions and holding every OIL
Ger financially and morally respon
sible for its observance. Second, pc
litical candidates and committee
could announce that they woul'
neither solicit nor receive contribu
tons.
