A MiHtaTg SphiHX

He was called the Sphinx of the
South African campaign" He was
known as military organizer abso-
lutely without rival He was talked
about and criticised, complimented
and complained of. He upset a great
many arrangements, especially in re-
gard TO army transportation. He
broke rules and remade them. He
was reported here one day and there
the next, and no one saw him. but
his influence was felt and the army
moved Having spent seven years
preparing to march up the Nile, he
was called upon to make arrange
ments for a prolonged invasion of
the enemy's country, for the feed
ing of a huge army miles from its
base, and with the probability of
continued interruption of the lines
of communication. 1t was a task
never attempted before on so grand
a scale. That the army was able
TO move and TO keep moving and
was fed at all reflects the greatest
credit on the thoroughly trained
and equipped army serve corps.
He is man who loves a good fight
and good fighter. He admired
DeWet immensely and is reported
10 have said, Give me one man like
DeWet and / will send home one
third Of the army" And DeWet in
his turn is reported to have said,
Il will give Lord Roberts three years
TO. catch me. i will give Kitchener
three months, and Lord Methuen all
his life

portions of the structure that it must
have been standing on the hill for
all time, even before Methusaleh was
born, the building had to be begun,
not so long ago-in your great grand
fathers time-by the point of pick
driven into the ground. Further, a
creation Of mortal hands out of per-
ishable materials, IT will wear out
just the same as the most significant
and cheapest article of clothing that
you have on. For that reason and
because we wish the Capitol, in
whict pulsates the heart of the ma
ton, to endure as long as We all
hope that the nation itself will live,
it becomes necessary to make re-
pairs constantly, exactly as your
mother or wife is steadily at work
with q thread and needle on those
same clothes of yours.
In a sense the beauty of the Capt.
tol is curtain. Looking through
any peephole. such as one of the
service doors in the basement of the
building, you will find that behind
the curtain, increasingly at work TO
keep the beauties OF the visible sur
face unspotted, are almost all the
homely mechanism which you have
seen used i'm a theater to present
the gorgeousness of stage scene.
Pretty nearly every kind OF artisan
is needed g. some time or other in
the massive structure TO maintain
the utility and beauty of the Capitol
faultless.
No matter how humble or ugly his
calling is to the eye, he is there to
help make beauty OF comfort and
convenience for the lords or the ma
ton Because the call for him is
too steady for him 10 leave the work
of the place for Job in the hotel
down the street or the mansion OF a
dignitary in northwest Washington,
he must stay right in the Capitol
and move his shop there. So it
comes that the well-being of the
Capitol requires the presence of al
most every kind or a shop and store
that you have found needful in keep
ing your own home, ana the huge
building houses nearly all the work
shops and stores that the ordinary
community uses in its daily life.
In the Capitol has grown city in
a building.

Kitchener's. He is the stuff dicta-
tors are made of, man without
fears or scruples, who would not
hesitate if ofiicialism became hope
lessly muddled to cut the Gordian
knot of constitutionalism with shin
ing, sharp sword.
When Lord Kitchener went to In
dia he found the British army there
far from being in a condition to
Withstand any serious ATTEMPT at
aggression on the part of a foreign
power And he started to put the
military establishment on a safe
military basis, no matter who suf-
fered. Naturally that made him
unpopular in certain quarters. After
studying the problem for two years
he has given out his scheme of re-
form He wants 10 make a unit of
the organization, which was split up
into the armies of Bengal, Madras.
and Bombay, after the mutiny, and
to concentrate this unit on the from
tier And he viii probably be al
lowed his own way.
Mean while there is a growing
demand in India for home rule.
which is really quite as serious as
the periodic rumors that Russia is
about to cross the border. There
was mutiny once, which failed. but
was very costly. There might be
another mutiny which might not
fail, and would be even more costly.
Great Britain's Indian troops and
military police combined number
about 100000. OF this number only
$4,000 are whites The Pathan. Sikh,
and Goorkha regiments are ac1nowl-
edged by the British themselves to
out-shoot, out-march, and live on
scantier fare than our own troops.
Japan has proved to them and to
The world that Asiatics can fight
Europeans. What if they took ii
into their heads to try. For years
Great Britain has been educating
natives with a view to giving them
subordinate government positions.
She has now educated twenty times
as many as she can possibly give
positions. Some one of these unem-
ployed may easily become the leader
in a very serious rebellion.
is 1t any wonder that she has sent
hCr g

And that she has given him, as his
nominal superior, a man whose Ca

1t has been occasionally asked why
he is so deliberate, why not make
a "dash," here or a dash" there
Critics thousands of miles away are
very fond of making "dashes
paper. Troops on the field are not
less depressed by hunger and fatigue
than men employed in the arts of
peace, and Lord Kitchener knows
that after, say, forty-eight hours
fast the element of dash is likely
TO show considerable shrinkage, if
not to have evaporated altogether.
Therefore he does not dash out of
reach of his supplies. He is rot
an impetuous man.

Carpenter and Cabinet Maker


Carpenter and Cabinet Maker
The architect must keep a sharp
eye on the changes and repairs to
the building to be sure that In de-
sign they conform to the architect
ural style OF the whole and harmon
ize with the immediate surround
ings. The tilemaker cares for the
flooring and for all ornaments that
may be made Of compositions Of
earth. The carpenter and the cabi-
net maker are as busy as the con-
ductor of a crowded trolley car In
preserving the woodwork and the
furniture, task demanding the la
bors OF several men In building
populated and used as Is the Capt.
toll. The painter runs here to daub
a bare spot, TO freshen doorway, to
touch up a wall, and there TO remove
a blemish that the superintendent
of the building has noted.
The general supply store Is the
department store of Capitol town,
to which all these workmen go for
their needs in their shops. The
foreman gives the messenger an
order. the keeper of the store passes
il, and a clerk hands over the goods.
As all bills go TO Uncle Sam, there
is no need of a cash trolley. Uncle
Sam has previously been asked to
lay in a stock of this or that, called
for bids TO supply the articles and
bought from the man who offered TO
sell at the lowest figures. The Gus
toners in his department store re-
ceive their goods without paying

The telephone switchboard, or CEN

almost every room. Telegraph Of
fees are in the corridors of both
sides of the building and are open
to the public. Operators are also in
both press galleries to Work on
wires connected directly with the
newspapers.
The stationery rooms On both
