Not In Her Line.

"The servant girl question:" said a
Brooklyn citizen to two of his acquain-
lances who were discussing the insol-
able problem In homeward bound
Sar. Let me add a story on that sub
Isct. We have had, my wife and /, a
very capable, neat and faithful girl do
ing the Homework outside the cooking
for several years. Several times she
has threatened to leave, but we raised
Aer pay from time to time until she
was getting 12b a month. Last week
she once more notified US that she pro-
posed going away. My wife told me
she absolutely couldn't spare her, and
20 raised her pay 70 $50 q month.
Last Monday afternoon my wife dis.
severed that the Soiled clothes were
still IN the hamper, and she called up

TOO CONSPICUOUS IN COLOR
United States viii No Longer Have
Grey Horses In Its Cavalry
Regiments.

The gray charger, long an inspira.
ton for the poets of chivalry, Is now

war department who look after the
purchase of horses for the United
States cavalry.
He may be just as vigorous, intelli.
gent and faithful as his brothers OF
another color, but he's too conspicu.
GUS, they tell us, too apt to get his
5000 hide filled with lead. So he has
to go. Horsemen Of the National
stock yards can no longer sell grayA
to the government. which they main.
tain is bad business all round.
Uncle Sam formerly owned $4,000
worth Of horses of this color. One
troop in every regiment was known
as the Gray Troop" But ON inves-
tigation the department decided that
80 much money In living targets was
bad investment for in these days
Of high-power rifles the gray troop
would be shining mark for the in

dulging in competition among themselves,
but the meet against Penn last night was
the first one ever scheduled with an out

In every one of the events the Quakers
captured first place, and the best the Wis
