the undoubted approval of the administra-
tion, will ask Congress at Its next session
to supplement the Dick bill. reorganizing
and making the guard part of the ma
tional defense Under the general super
vision of the War Department. The legis-
iation alluded to has been carefully pre-
pared. originating with the officers OF the
national guard and perfected according to
suggestions from the War Department.
Its principal feature is the doubling of the
annual federal appropriation of $1.000,000
for armament and encampment expenses
of the guard. 1t is estimated that the
added million. II obtained, will give but
$40 q man to the guard, which sum is said

The secretary's Signature Required.

Attorney General Moody has rendered an
opinion, in which he upholds the contention
of the Secretary of the Interior that the
signature Of the Secretary is necessary in
order to validate patents for lands Of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, Indian
Territory. The attorney general for the In
terior Department had taken similar view,
and 1t meets with the approval of the prin-
cipal chiefs of the two nations. The ques-
ton arose through alleged representations
of certain persons in Indian Territory that
the signature of the Secretary Of the Inte-
ror was not required to be attached to the
patents. The matter was referred to the
Attorney General, with the result stated.

HOW A BULLY WAS SGBDUEO.

Apropos of Police Inspector Peter
Kelly is the brief tale told by Chi
cago woman of whom the inspector
has never heard, yet who has watch
ed his rise for the past fifteen years.
and who has all that time wished we'll
for him, says the Chicago Record
Herald.
1t was in the days when the Mil
waukee avenue ears were drawn by
horses, and Kelly, then probably
sergeant at Desplaines station, was
on duty at night. He rode one Sun
day morning to the point where
Robey street and North avenue add
the confusion of their crossings to
the diagonal course of Milwaukee
avenue. and it being of the clock of
a summer Sunday it was daylight
through most of the trip.
In that same wearyine hour OF the
early morning woman Of seme
wealth and better family-which FAM
ily has since attained riches. by the
way-came from her home in Prairie
avenue on a hurry call to visit a less
luckily married sister in the reeion
of Kuhn's Park. and she rode on the
same car with Peter Kelly.
Also, there rode a sample Of tho

Ben F. Harris, who is active in the
councils of Typographical Union No.
1G. laid the foundation for his trade
by serving an apprenticeship AS n
newsboy. That was in the time when
carriers took their papers direct from
the Office of publication. instead of
working for contract circulators In
those days also the "Carrier's New
Years Address, was regular fea-
ture of the business, and many OF the
boys reaped a good harvest of tokens
from their patrons.
Mr.. Harris newsboy days were
spent in Rochester, N. Y, and one of
his patrons was colored man Of
some means who always remembered
the carriers who came to his house
by giving them some substantial to-
ken.
Each New Years day while I was
carrying papers this man called me
into his house and took me into the
dining-room. where table was
spread with cakes, fruit and other
things appealing to boy. I was told
to eat all l could, and on coming
away my pockets were filled with
good things Then as we parted at
the door he slipped into my hand a
brand new 50 bill. You bet thought
he was pretty fine man, even it he
was black"
