Westinghouse Follows Fathers Advice.

Though it could hardly be said to
be for financial reasons, George West
inghouse, Jur., in marrying Miss Vio-
let Evelyn Brocklebank, an English
girl, is following the advice which his
father has always given to his I'M
ployes. "Of the many thousand en-
ployes that l have had" Westinghouse,
Sr., says, those who save their
money are the ones who marry for
eign girls. Most of these employees
have been Imported from Germany,
England or elsewhere, and some of
them get more money here in a week
than they would get in a year over
there. | never have known 1t to fail
that if one of these brings his wife
with him he will have a bank account
in six months and own a house within
a year; but if he marries an Ameri-
can girl he will probably never know
what a bank account looks like

Some Strange Condolences.

Isaac b. Thatcher, a clerk of Wash.
ington. has returned from a visit to
Isaac Is. Thatcher of Easton, Pa. The
name is not the only coincidence. Both
are civil war veterans. Each married
a woman named Mary. Each mans
wife's maiden name was White. Each
mans mother bore the Christian name
Hannah. Each has a son Charles. Al
though they have traced their respec-
tive ancestry back for five genera
tious, they have been able to establish
no relationship. Twelve years ago a
cousin of the Washington Thatcher
riding on a train in Virginia, met the
Easton Thatcher. The two began TO
correspond, and this year the Easton
Isaac B. Thatcher invited the Wash
ington Thatcher TO visit him.

LOST PUPPY
THE STORY OF A SEARCH, WITH
PROPER RESULT.
Household Pet Had Left Train OF
Devastation as He Went on His
Joyful Way-Ciaim of owner
ship Postponed.

The puppy was ~missing-our own
little Kiddo, and non knew where he
might be. In fact we felt 1t would be
easier to tell where he might not be,
with a choice limited to the stable
cupola and the bell owe on the en-
CINE house.
Search of his favored spots revealed
him not. Under the house we found
the feathers OF "A chicken we had be-
lieyed long since safely inferred Frag.
ments of a napkin that had blown
from the clothesline showed that he
mad been there, but our dear little
puppy WAS nowhere in sight.
Out in the alley we found where In
his innocent play he had carried the
cooks best apron and made strings OF
It. Poor little dog lie had 10 have
something to amuse himself with.
Our neighbor. Mr.. Burns, came to
the back fence and rested his coatless
arms upon it.

him. Mr.. Burns considered.

asked. "A little, flea-bit mongrel with
n stub tail?"
We Indignantly replied that he was
n fox terrier with a pedigree as long
as the laws of the Modes and the
Persians.
Il see him. said Mr.. Burns. He
chased two of my settin' hens off tn
nest and busted half the eggs. If ever

Which way did he go?" we asked.
Mr.. Burns smiled grimly.

was follerin' him pooty clost.' Then
we left him considering which way
was west.
They had seen him at the drug
store. He had managed to get his
head caught in a jar and had fright
ened an old woman so badly that the
doctor had to be called just because
he approached her without removing
the jar.
Have you seen our little dog?" we
asked the grocer down the street,
IF he was you'n,' said the grocer,
you owe me for a whole cheese.
Some darn little sn~ub-tailed beast ate
the wood off a new cheese and got into
ii before We saw him"
THAT wasn't our dog we assured
him. Our dog hates ~eheese-won't
stay in the house with it, in fact. But
which way did that dog go?"
Following his directions and fol-
lowed by his suspicious chances we
went down the street again. Far
down the street we beheld n small
and hilarious crowd.
Approaching, we say the cause. A
little stump-tailed f% terrier, pain
fully like our own lost pet. had
paused at n second hand store and had
pulled down a string of shoes that
were on exhibit outside.
These we was doing his utmost to
destroy, manifesting the liveliest sat
%isfaction at any progress made.
At our approach he fed and we
knew whose dog he was. But as we
had to pass the druggists and the
g%rocer's and our neighbours home we
were not sorry, for there are times
when II does not like to claim ever
a pedigreed dog, and this was one of

a Graceful Endorsement
lGering, SCOTS Bluff County, Courier)

"There is a paper printed at Lincoln called THE NEBRASKA STAT
CAPITAL. This writer eve fails to read it through ana throuoh. al.
though it simply contains the personal opinions Of Frank A. Harrison
We don't love Harrison, never did, and do not know why, but we do
enjoy this paper and we pronounce it a little nearer the public purse of
Nebraska than any other single publication in the state. He is devotlno
much of his ammunition just now to anttsaIoon doctrines, and to his et
forts may be attributed much of the progress toward county option. Some
papers which carry an editorial column have a string of soppv smsb
which is we'll nigh meaningless, and the Courier is consttudonaIy afraid
to try it, but the mn who can get up a weekly bunch Of editorials
such a Harrison prints is M less than a genius. Ten years al this
paper carried an editorial coIumn,but the mad rush of business has
been responsible for its absence since then. A course of reading THE

Astounding in thrilling situations,

FEW FORESTRY CHANGES.
Professor Graves Says Mr., Pinchot's
Plans Will Not Be Interrupted.

New Haven. Jan. 13.-Tlle whole country
is in favor of conservation of public re-
sources, according TO the statement Cf Pro-
fessor Henry s. Graves. of Yale. newly ap-
pointed Chief Forester, In an interview
to-day. He further expressed himself in
favor of the policy pursued by Mr.. Pinchot
as chief of the forestry service heretofore.
Professor Graves is director of the Yale
Forest School and Pnchot professorrOf for
estry. He returned from his Washington
visit early to-day. He will assume mis- new
position in February, and he will wait
until that time before making any general
statement of the questions involved in the
forestry service.
So far as he knew, there would be no re-
organization of the forestry service, said
Professor Graves. IF there were any
changes they would probably be Of minor
character. He believed, and the sentiment
at Washington was, that the work should
go on as 1t had before his appointment, and
the force which MIR. Pinchot had organized
was doing its work well. The only policy.
he said, was the conservation of the public
resources, and this WAS being done. Both
the President and the Secretary of AGri-
culture were In earnest in their desire that
the work should go on as 1t had begun.

sYron The Tribune Bureau J


washington, Jan. l2-Unqualified lndorse-
raent Of the Meyer-Swift plan OF naval re-
organization was given by Rear Admiral
Mason, chief of the Bureau of Ordnance,
and Rear Admiral Hoilyday. chief Of the
Bureau or YARDS and DocK<s ceIors The
Naval Affairs Committee OF the House to-
CAV. These two officers declared that they
had given serious study 10 the plan and
were convinced that IL would not only
prove economical. but would add to the
efficiency of the service.
Rear Admiral Cowles, chief OF the Bureau
Of Equipment, was not quite so enthusias-
tic. Considering the fact that his bureau
is TO be abolished under the Meyer plan,
his 5ubilsnt assent was hardly expected by
the committee. He said that 1t would prob
ably prove economical TO the extent O:
saving the salary Of a chief clerk, but he
went no further in his praise.
Rear Admiral Nicholson, chief OF the Bu-
reau of Navigation, and Rear Admiral
Rogers. chief OF the Bureau Of Supplies and
Accounts. viii appear tomorrow.
As already told in these dispatches. tn.
committee is ready to abolish the Bureau
OF Equipment, but the question Of navy
ysra administration stIll proves trouble
some. Whether a constructor an engineer
officer or a civilian should be placed in
charge Of the construction at navy yards
has not been decided. but the committee is
unanimously of the opinion that the au-
thor.ry should not be divided. There is
strong probability that civilian witnesses.
including experts from great construction
conpenies. will be asked to express their
views to tae committee.
