gestiou that General Bell obtained the
material embodied in a report just
submitted. The facts gathered by Gen.
eral Bell afford material for eonsidera-
bic reflection as to the Zest and per

ropean armies devote themselves to

a v BY constant practice every day
in the week and generally for hours at
a time the officers of European armies
have gained such skill that they can
perform without auy ado and as a
matter of every day drill feats that
seem to the average mind almost an
impossibility. Nothing like the severe
tests which are imposed in foreign ar
mics are required in our own. Mr..
Roosevelt does not advocate imitation
of European military regulations in
this respect. but he does urge with
vigor the general raising of
III horsemanship. THE field officers or
our army cannot be held exclusively
responsible for the poor riding which
has been frequently observed among
them" he says, and he points out that
the reason for the existence OF poor
Craftsmanship is found in part in the
fact that the quality Of the horses used
IN our army does not equal that of FOR
eign mounts and that infantry officers
have no opportunity to practice riding
untlI they become field officers, where
as in Europe all infantry captains are
mounted.
The ruling idea in European armies
is that all mounted officers should keep
themselves at all times in tit condition
for war and their mounts also. A
great many customs are encouraged to
stimulate rivalry among the officers in
this respect. and there are cross coun-
try rides. drag hunts. fox hunts and
other things partaking of the nature
of sport, but involving very practical
tests in Craftsmanship because of the
necessity of jumping fences, bitches.
walls and hedges and other obstacles
Some of the feats undertaken by
mounted officers in these armies are
very spectacular and seem almost i'm
possible. American cavalry troops
have won honors in contests with In
dams and in China and the Philip
pines. In fact, complete success was
lacking in the operations in the Phil
ippines until a cavalry brigade was
put in the field against the insurgents.
In the reorganization of the army
undertaken not long since the fact
was recognized that the national
guard of the country is composed al
most wholly of infantry and that in
case Of outbreak of war with a for
eign nation volunteer cavalry would
have no chance of immediate success
in contests with the highly trained
cavalrymen of a European army. Spe-
cial efforts have therefore been made
TO increase the number and efficiency
Ct the cavalry troops of the regular
army, and it is ia line with this policy
that the president seeks the elevation
Of the standard of Craftsmanship
among the field officers of III army.

lope too. This programme was re-
peated day after day until the guides
were so sore they could hardly walk.
One Of them went to the secretary and
said:
I'VE picked you for a tenderfoot, but
you amt none. We're the tenderfeet,
and II you'n Just ride this other boss
and let him trot wen be much obliged
Loeb sticks closer TO his chief than
a brother. Vacations for him are few
and far between. When he married
the charming Miss Katherine Dorr of
Albany the president could spare him
less than a week for his wedding trip.
After he brought his bride to Wash
ington he tried on three successive
evenings TO take her to the theater to
see a play they both desired especially
to witness. Each time an emergency
called him back to the White House
before he reached the theater door.
Yet when asked awhile ago how he
liked his Office the secretary promptly
replied:
BEST Of anything I yer did.
Wouldn't trade 1t FOR any job under
the government"

FLOOD OF CASH
HOARDINGS POURING INTO
SAVINGS BANKS.
Depositaries Have So Much Currency
They Prefer Check Deposits
to Currency.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Currency. which
was at a considerablep remium a short
time ago. is now something OF a drug on
the market according to officials of savings
banks, which within the last ten days
have been flooded With deposits by panic
time money hoarders.
The large amounts Of currency received
have in many instances caused the 10 per
cent. limit which those Institutions are
allowed to carry in cash to be exceeded.
The surplus has been turned over TO
their repositories. state and national banks
and trust companies. Savings band men
now report protests from these institu-
tons which are asking for deposits by
check instead of in cash, which they find
inconvenient to handle.

some OF their specialties are well worth

appearance of cooks and cooking appli-

to a tray Of golden balls, which she piles
in a pyramid. The golden balls are arti-
chokes. They are boiled In sailed water
until tender, and are put in a pan over
steam to keep them hot until a customer
appears. For three pence the vender will
take one from the steaming pan, dry 1t,
dip 1t into batter and pop it into the hot
oil. A moment later a golden-brown ball.
delicious and crispy on the outside and
tender and succulent on the inside, is
handed to the purchaser. The frying is
