A NATURAL COMPASS.
Tress Reliably Point the Way Through
the wilderness.

A famous Canadian guide. Of
whom his friends assert that you
could take him up in a balloon
blindfolded and drop him into the
middle of the wilderness and he
would find his way out, was asked
by a New York hunter not long ago
how he did it.
rs it true said the New York
man. shat you can. find your way
back to camp every time and in the
straightest line possible

But that is a different matter
from taking an objective point,
even imaginary. and then going
straight through the wilderness to
that point. Perhaps not many
guides themselves can do that with
absolute success. though it seems
very simple thing to me"
DO you mean that you can hold
perfectly straight course through
thick woods and across broken
country without a compass or sun
light to guide?'
"As straight a course as could be
followed in such country"
What is your guide, the moss or
growth on the shaded side of tree

VETERANS TO ASK
FOR MORE MONEY

BEAUVOIR, Miss, April 10.-A
movement is on foot among leaulne
Confederate veterans in the state to
urge at the next session of the legis-
lature a greatly increased appropria-
ton for the jefferson Davis Memorial
Home at Beauvoir, and the movement
has the endorsement of the members
of the board of trustees, who realize
that the present standing appropria-
ton of $4,000 annually is palpably
inadequate.
At the time this amount was fixed
there were but 104 inmates in the
home, and the basis Of figuring was
500 each per month, from which was
the veterans for incidental expendi-
lures. All expenses of improvements
and repairs also have to come out of
the appropriation.
Last December there were 140 in
mates and none have since been adj
mitted, owing to the fact that there
is not enough money to properly SUD-
port the 127 left from that number,
thirteen having died or been granted
leaves in the meantime. The only
reason this thirteen has not been re-
placed from the 80 applications now
pending is that although there is
room for just that number-140 in
all-there is not enough money in the
support fund to care for them.
In the hospital there is an average
of 20 patients, whose support and med
ical care are much more expensive
than are the other inmates. The net
result is that, even with a smaller
number of inmates than the capacity
provides for, the board of trustees has
been so cramped for funds as to be
utterly unable to give them the char
acter of fare contemplated. They
have, however, managed thus far to
keep expenditures within the appro-
priation.
1t is estimated that OF least $4,000
more money will be needed annually
in order to take care of the full 40
inmates the capacity provides for an
nally, and there is every reason to be-
lieve the legislature will meet the
conditions when it convenes next Jan
uary.
