the likeness 10 a real human being which that figure
displays be about in proportion to our knowledge of
human nature and whatever little gift we may have
for inducing others to things do We ourselves:
As to the plot-need that matter much: And
if does, they lie all about ushic is full Of plots
not always equal to the demands of moodrama, per-
haps but sufficient to the largest requirement. Take
any group Of people, of varying standards of conduct,
and set them striving for some thing aud do We
not Immediately get a struggle of some knd-and
doesn't every struggle develop its own plot: For my
self. think plot should be kept very much under,
it Is IN actual life, where there very few villains
and very few sublime heroes, and whore mans course
is hundred times more likely TO be guided by I'M
pulse than by intellectually gWred action.

OF TWO EVILS, ere.
Youngster Evidently Had His Own
Idea as to the Choice.

My neighbor, writes correspondent,
has four young sons, whom he and his
wife duly lead to church every Sun
day. Just as the sermon was about
to begin last Sunday one of the boys
was observed to look very uneomfort
able, and, having explained the nature
of his sufferings, was sent home. His
younger brother. in an urgent whis-
per, demanded of his mother: Where's
Tom gomez"
He's gone home"
What for?"
"The mother whispered. low: Hes
got toothache."

L approve the recommendations of
the general board for the in
crease of the navy. calling especial
attention to the need of acdi-
tional destroyers and GOLFERS. and above
all, of the four battleships 1t Is desir-
able to complete as soon as possible q
squadron of eight battleships of the best
existing type.
/ most earnestly recommend that the
general board be by law turned into q
general staff. There Is literally no ex-
cuse whatever for continuing the pres
ent bureau organization of the navy. The
navy should be treated as q purely mill
tary organization, and everything should
be subordnated to the one object OF Sc
curing military efficiency. A system
of promotion by merit, either by selec-
ton or by exclusion, or by both
processes, should be introduced. 1t Is out
OF the question, IL the present principle
of promotion by mere seniority Is kept.
to expect to get the best results from the
higher officers. Our men come too old.
and stay for too short a time. In the, high
command positions.
Nothing better for the navy from every
standpoint has ever occurred than the
cruise OF the battle fleet around the
world. The improvement of the ships in
every way has been extraordinary and
they have gained far more experience
In battle tactics than they would have
gained II they had stayed In the Atlantic
waters. The American people have cause
for profound qualification, both La view
OF the excellent condition of the fleet as
shown by this cruise. and in view of the
Improvement the cruise has worked In
this already high condition. 1 do not
believe that there is any other service In
the world In which the average of char
acter and efficiency in the enlisted men
Is as high as is now the case In eur own.

Parcel Post.

In my last annual message I COM
mended the postmaster generals
recommendation for an extension of the
parcel post on the rural routes. The
establishment of local parcel post on
rural routes would be to the mutual
benefit of the farmer and the country
storekeepcr, and it is desirable that the
routes, serving more than $4,000. 600
people, should be utilized to the fullest
practicable extent.
