SPEAKS
FOR MILES
Believes the General is Entitled

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator
Lodge spoke eloQuently and earnestly
for nearly three hours a few days ago.
IN behalf of his fellow citizen of Mass.

inspector general of militia in the old
bay state. He was opposing that pro-
vision in the army appropriation bill.
forbid full pay to General Miles, as
retired officer serving with state mill
tia. 1t is apparent that Senator Lodge
has a large majority of the republican
senators with rim and as a near friend
perhaps the nearest friend-of the
president, his attitude in this matter
quite negatives the somewhat general
belief that he president is personally
unfriendly to General Miles, or is s4all
enough to strike at him through an
appropriation bill. There Is no doubt
that the administration a year or more
ago was much annoyed at General
Miles active opposition to long needed
military reforms, but the reforms hav-
ing been accomplished in spite of his
opposition, there is said to be no ILL
feeling toward him at the White house.
It is expected that the naval appro-
priation bill will amount to nearly one
hundred million OF dollars. There is a
sentiment in the house-led by Speaker
Cannon-against SO large an appro-
priation, but the presidents we'll
known desire for a stronger navy will
result, it is thought. in the appropria-
ton of at least twenty millions for new
and powerful ships; while the balance
Of eighty millions will be necessary to
maintain the present navy. to complete
the ships that are now building and to
pay officers and men.
It may be interesting to some of your
readers to know that Professor Wylie
the government chemist, has issued a
denial Of his alleged denial that Amer
lea and foreign Whistles are impure
He says emphatically now (and it is
| understood that this is his last and he

of the khisky sold in barrel. bottle and

called Scotch whisky is a doctored
nostrum and altogether misleading and
entangling.

means a novelty, having been known
for many years. The mirror is a
slightly concave disk OF bronze. highly
polished and silvered The mirror
shows no popularity untN held so that
the sunlight is reflected from 1t upon
the wall or other dark object when
the design stamped upon the back
appears upon the wall in bright lines.
The design is not apparently upon
the surface Of the mirror, but the
stamping slightly fiattens the surface
Of the reflector, and when held in the
strong sunlight these fat lines dIrec-
tly reflect their light upon the wall,
while that reflected from the concave
portions Is dispersed.
Arrangements are now being made
to have portraits and coats Of arms
stamped to order, and this. 1t is ex-
pected, will still further increase the
demand.

Mrs. Lenks tried to sit comfortably

took the little, lean-back rocker into

his arm.

In three years the removal commit
tee of the United Hebrew Charities
has succeeded in removing from the
city to the country an average of
4,250 persons per year. while as many
new immigrants have arrived In the

not been a matter of funds or places
for families, but unwillingness
on the part of the families to go. If
struggling, sometimes starving Jews
of New York refuse to go to the coun-

own leaders, what good will it do to

sents the farmer ready-made, but al
though nine-tenths of the Italians who
have come to the United States have
followed agricultural pursuits they are

Of pay rather than continue farming.
In Southern Italy, from which the mass
of immigrants come, there is no consid-
cradle industry except farming, and
men who are naturally gifted for other
pursuits must work in the soil to live;
therefore, each overburdened peasant
has come to look on the soil as his
master and he as its slave.

A tired-looking woman came out OF
the house and stood in the little patch
OF sunshine on the north porch. She
gazed longingly down the dust-white,
country road, and the last forlorn hope
died out her wan eyes as she returned
to her kitchen.
Josiah Lenks had not been prepos-
sessing of manner nor endowed with
many endearing qualities. He had
been parsimonious, tyrannical, fault
finding and stubborn, but his wife only
remembered that he was her man.
and that 1t was very lonely in this
quiet, orderly house, which, as Is
usual at such occasions, had been
filled to overfowing in the interim Of
demise and funeral, but was now de-
serted.
She wished again and again that
her son, 10, would come. She had
not known just where to reach him
One seldom did know where to reach
10. He had a comet-like way OF ap-
pearing and disappearing. He had
been a wanderer since the days OF
schoolboy truancy, and he had served
in many capacities-as trainboy, cir
Gus rider, soldier, tramp and stage
driver. In fact, everywhere but on his
fathers farm. She had not known
where to send word to Beth, either.
Beth, the little. orphaned child of a
distant cousin, had grown to young
womanhood on the farm, and then had
gone to distant city to teach. She
was away on a vacation, now, and had
no settled address, With these two
absent, Mrs. Lenks was indeed alone.
Suddenly there hurried into the
kitchen a tall, strong-shouldered man.
Sorry l couldn't have got here in
time, mother, but I'm here now and
we're going to be together from now
on--you and me"

arms

"You are not going to do 1t. | am

kettle? Using that same old lealzy,

For the next half hour. Mrs. Lenks
had an odd sensation Of being some
one else as she sat in a chair and
looked on while 10 deftly sliced up
cold potatoes, fried bacon and set the
table.
Despite bis five and twenty years

! NEW YORK LETTER
! Bits of Information Gathered in Ramble Through 3
the Metropolis
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

1t is the marvel of foreigners that
Americans visit the old country who
have never seen the wonders OF their
own-the Mammoth Cave, the Natural
Bridge, the Yosemite Valley and other
places-but how many New Workers
really know New York? The little
trip of forty miles around Manhattan
in a Seeing New York" yacht is a
liberal education. The man who
makes the talk through the mega
phone can tell the natives a lot about
his own city that he never dreamed Of
as the truth. For example, New York
was bought by the Dutch from the In
,dians for the sum of $24, paid in
beads and blankets. That was some
time ago, 1t has grown since. Ac-
cording to the megaphone man, 1t is
at the present time worth about 49,
900,000,000, ell told. A square foot
therefore the size of pocket handker-
chief is worth $1,000, If not more.
Full and sufficient reason this for
erecting buildings in the atmosphere,
which costs nothing. And as for the
bigness and richness Of New York!
Who would have known that one Of
her steamships-the Baltic-is the
length Of two gigantic skyscrapers
torn up by the roots, laid fiat and
pasted together lengthwise, If it had
not been for the megaphone?

Schools and EXPENSE.


Some idea of the magnitude of the
work that the School Board has been
doing for New York may be gathered
from the casual announcement made
by an official of the Board Of Educa-
tion that during the past year $12,-
390,237 has been appropriated for
school sites and bildings. This, Of
course, is but fraction of what the
city Of New York spends every year
upon public education. On the East
and West Sides, with their teeming
population, school houses dot nearly
every other block. Brooklyn, Queens,
Richmond and the Bronx have not
been overlooked. When we consider
that about 80 per cent Of the child
rem leave school at the age of IA years,
the Importance OF implanting in each
child the groundwork Of good educ"
alton cannot be overestimated. This
is spending the taxpayers money in q
good cause.

Readiness for EmsrnsneIsa.

For most Of us the best preparation
for emergencies is sleep enough and
food enough, work enough and play
enough, and lot Of little troubles. If
you keep clear head and steady
hand, and habit Of dealing with
everyday difficulties capably you are
more ready for possible emergencies
than the man is who depends upon an
armory of tools and weapons which
