cHoULD BE ABOLISHED.

The proposition to abolish the grade
of lieutenant general I'm the regular
army will doubtless commend itself to
many people. There is a general feel
ing that this high position should be
used only as reward for specially dis
tinguished service. Army officers should
not be promoted to it merely through
seniority in rank, to hold the place a
few months or few days and then re-
tire on the pay of lieutenant general
From the standpoint of the officers
themselves, the position is a very snug
one. The pay of retired lieutenant
general is $3.50 a year, that of ma
jor general S5,625. The difference of 81
SO alone would be considered a very
handsome income by a large majority
Of the heads Of American households,
for the large majority receive consid-
erably less money than S2,625 a year.
An end should be put. too, to the
numerous promotions for retirement
purposes only. Mr.. Roosevelt has been
particularly fond of retiring brigadier
generals as major generals and colonies
as brigadier generals merely in order
TO give them a larger income from the
government. In order that some ap-
probation may be had Of the ad-
vantage this gives the officer, It
may be said that a retired brig
adler general gets s4,125, a colonel
from s.. 625 to $3.50. according to length
of service; a lieutenant colonel from
s., $50 to $1,000; a major from S1,S75 to
s., 625: captain from S132O to $3.50:
first lieutenants from S1,237 to $3.50;
second lieutenants from S1.115 to S1,575.
The law makes a curious distinction
between mounted and unmounted cap
tains and lieutenants in retirement.
The mounted officers draw more pay
in retirement than the unmounted
ones. though just why the government
should pay anything toward the keep
of horse for an officer who is not in
active service is not exactly clear The
distinction is proper enough for those
who are serving I'm the army when 1t is
necessary for them TO keep horses
Doesn't this look like "a horse on the
government" as the slang phrase goes

DRIES FOR FARMING.

James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, still persists in the
belief that the most profitable way to
help his railroad is to help the people
who live along its lines. He has just
offered prizes for excellence in farm
ing. open to farmers living in Minneso-
ia, North Dakota and South Dakota
The prizes are established by congress
sional districts, three for each district.
The first prize is $500. the second $3.50.
and the third SO. The prizes represent
an aggregate annual outlay of $6,S25.
The prizes, according to a st. Paul
dispatch to the New York Times, are
to be awarded by Professor Thomas
Shaw, with one other judge from each
district, approved by Mr. Hill. The
judges viii award the prizes according
TO what they consider the best system
of rotation adopted by each farm in
contest, character of cultivation, clean
illness Of farm, crop yield, number and
quality Of livestock kept in proportion
to area. There are no fees, dues or ex-
penses, the only restriction being that
the farms entered must keep cattle,
and In addition thereto either sheep or
swine or both.
Some ten or twelve years ago Mr..
Hill, TO encourage cattle raising, had
his agents purchase and distribute 100
thoroughbred bulls. Mr.. Hills bulls
probably never brought him half their
cost. The Scandinavians did not know
anything about farming, and could not
be induced to raise anything but wheat.
Ten years later farmers from the mid
die states invaded the Red River val
ley. Creameries were established, fine
herds of dairy cattle were obtained.
sheep, hogs and poultry were intro
duced. The wheat yield of Minnesota
has remained about the same for ten
years, while diversified farming has in
creased one hundred fold.
In view of the changed conditions.
Mr.. Hill, who loses 100000 annually on
his own farm near st. Paul, is willing
to see the farmers compete for cash
prizes annually for four years.

GAVE SEAT TO THREE WOMEN

Washington, Aug 25.-Secretary Taft has found his way into comic papers ali over the world as the re- suit of the joke Associated Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court told on the rotund secretary of war at the recent Yale commence ment
 The pleasantly of the distinguished jurist, it will be remembered was based on compliment he desired to pay to the chivaly of Yale men. Yale men everywhere are polite,' said Justice Brewer. But Secretary Taft is the most polite man I ever saw in my life Why the other day I was in a street car with him and be got up and gave his seat to three women."
 Scores of clippings based on this joke reach the war department every week. It has found its way into many languages. but the Germans, seem to appreciate it most Many of the German papers comment on the story at length and say that at las. the Yankees seems to be developing real wit.

MEAT THIRY YEARS OLD.

 Kept Third of a Century.

Sioux City, la, Aug 25.-Buffalo meat, guaranteed to have been killed thirty years ago, was the piece de resistance of dinner enjoyed here yesterday by R. K. Easton of An thony, Ia, A. F. Anderson of Little Sioux. Ia, and Jesse James of the Sioux City police force.
 Easton and James had just return ed from land seeking tramp over the Bad Lands of South Dakota.
 While in the Bad Lands they were the guests of c. R. Patterson. a pio- neer. famous through South Dakota. who had lived on his present ranch for forty years. As souvenir of their trip he gave them six pound piece of buffalo meat. Thirty years ago he killed number of buffaloes on his ranch, jerked the meat and flung 1t up on trees where the climate cured it perfectly.
 T admit the meat was a little dry" said Easton in speaking of the repast, but it had peculiar flavor which suppose Is characteristic of buffalo meat. It was good enough to be called delicacy in my opinion. "

The Loss Is s2oo, ,ooO, ,0O0.

Santiago, Chile, Aug 25.-A con- .servative estimate places the property loss at Valparaiso as result of the earthquakes and fires at $200,000,- 900. In addition the loss in the rural districts will be immense, as not only the residences of the landed propri- etors but the huts of the laborers have been completely destroyed and in many places the bridges. fences and telegraph and telephone posts have been thrown down. No passen- ger trains have arrived here from Valparaiso since August 16. It is insisted here that the effects of the disaster, in the number of deaths and the amount of property de- stroyed. Is probably greater than was the case in San Francisco. Val paraiso was the great seaport of the republic and It's commerce exceeded taht of any Pacific port except San Francisco. The entire lower part of the city is completely destroyed and the loss of life is felt throughout Chile because all parts of the coun- try were represented there.
 i'lIeayy ralns are still falling ai Valparaiso, making misery still greater. Donations for the relief oi the sufferers are arriving here from all parts of the world.
 Some idea of the state of affairs existing can be formed from the fact that man rode on horsebao; from Valparaiso to Santiago. a distance oi eighty miles, and could not obtain food or drink for himself or his horse during the entire distance. ow' ing to the desolation prevailing.

MUST ASK FARMERS WIFE. Men Who Hnd Farmers Permission
 Despoiled of the Fruits.

New Haven, Aug 25.-Two promi- nent citizens of Beacon Falls who love elderberry wine took yesterday of and with their automobile went into the country. A farmer told them some good juicy berries might be found on his land. After some hours they took two and haif bushels to the house. The farmer was not at home. but his wife an swered their request for drink or water with the sharp inquiry:
 "where did you men get those Der riesw The two men pointed.
