Comp roller Of the Treasury Fixing to Lose
His Job,

Not content to draw the saleries
allowed them. the officials of the
government in Washington put in
much extra time in devising ways
and means to saddle their person.
al expenses on the government. The
other day a bill for 81 for a pair of
driving gloves for the coachmap
for the Secretary of State was
passed by auditor of the State De-
partment and held up by the
comptr 'ller of the Treasury, the
latter official sharply calling the
auditors attention to the fact that
eight wears ago the government
refused to pay for an %overcoat,
boots ard moccasins bought for
the coachman of the State De-
partment. From time to time
government officials, and especial
ly members Of Congress, have
managed to secure allowances for
personal expenses, including
many ~luxuries, and they have not
been sI1w to multiply the luxut
ries when Uncle Sam pays the
bill. This sort of thing will
doubtless continue until bills for
board AID washing will be pre-.
sented to the government for pay

The Dairy Industry Of the United States.

According to the last year book
of the Department. of Agriculture,
there are 81, 720. 600 milch COWS
in the United States, and these
are worth STOP, 945, 900 90. The
magnitude of she industry can
perhaps be best understood when
It is considered that these COWS
produce yearly about 81, 900, 0OO,-
900 90 worth Of dairy products.
There is no other branch of
diversiged Agriculture so lmpor-
tant to the progress of a commu-
nifty. The fertility of the soil
can best be maintained by the
liberal use of barnyard manure
and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible, but dalrylng
is also more remuneratlve than
other branches of farming when
properly carried on.
The perpetuity of the country's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production of farm products
from year to year, a result which
not only furnishes our people
with food but maintains the proc.
perity of our farming commune
ties. Increase in production can
only come through improved
methods of agriculture and soil
improvement. When it Is con-
sidered that the dairy COW is the
Foundation for soil improvement
and farming prosperity, her i'm
p~ortance is best understood, and
interest in her should not be COIL
fined to her owner. She is an
important factor in the develop
ment and prosperity of our coun-
try.
It's just as important that you
be clean inside as outside-more

said of thickness, in the course of an
afternoon speech:
But the tricky man usually winds
up by being too tricky-like Brown.
Brown, who lives ir Fifth avenue,
suspected his English butler of drink
ing his wine. So one night he drug
ged a couple of bottle of 81 or S.
Chateau Kquem and left them in the
dining room. Unfortunately, that night
Browns wife returned late from the
opera. She saw the rare wine and
had it put down in the wine cellar
along with the twelve dozen other bot
ties of Chateau Yquem that Brown
had laid in.
Brown is wondering to this day
which two bottles are the drugged
ones. He has stopped drinking Cha
teau Yquem. In fact, I understand his
whole stock of it is for sale at a reas-
enable price. Record.

according to the Osborne Farmer.
The point was made perfectly clear
that the extra tax wouldn't burden
anybody. Finally, as a sort of joke,
one of the men asked Bill what he
thought about the matter and Bill
said: "I'll tell you. 1 think we have

in some danger of the poll tax one

out of it. Bill has always claimed
that the rich should pay the taxes.

As the Romans Do.
Americans are often accused of undue
sensibility under foreign criticism, and
our indulgent visitors have sometimes
tried to account for this weakness on
the ground that being young and not
very sure of our standing we are still
overeager for the appreciation of all
strangers who are our elders. and pre-
may. the example of italy shows that
even an old country may be thin
skinned: indeed, 1t Is doubtful II our
resentment ever went quite so Tar as
the resentment Of some citizens OF
Rome when a traveller lately presumed
to find fault with it's present condition.
He was not pleased with what he
saw, and he made no bones about tell
ing the modern Romans what he
thought of them. He does not seem
not Intentionally so-but he was. we
understand, tolerably frank. Where
upon the syndic, as the official repre-
sentative Of the Roman people, gave
out a general warning to all foreigners,
and this is what 1t said in sum:
us; we are pleased to welcome them
when they come here. just as we should
support their absence with sufficient
calm should they stay away because
their refined feelings of estheticism
were offended by our failure to follow
their judgment. 1t would be well that
this should be known-that we intend
to be absolute masters in our own
house without paying attention to great
or little critics whose pretensions are to
have a Rome exclusively for their own
use"
He enlarged on this theme and ad-
vised critics from abroad to confine
their attention in future to ''the Huns
and Vandals of London, of Paris, and
Of other capitals. where every trace OF
history and tradition has disappeared
before the exigencies of modern life
This sentiment was warmly applauded
as himself, and all visitors were adj
vised, in effect If not in so many words,
to stick to their proper occupation of
clarifying all things in Italy and adver-
Using it as the strangers only paradise.
Considering how generally this is
done and how very profitable the
stranger has been to Italy in a purely
material way, we should think a little
fault-f1nding might be tolerated now
and then for the sake of realism. Wis.,
itors have sometimes spoken unf1atter-
iingly Of our city; but we do not remem-
Der that any Of our mayors ever
thought it necessary to publish a gen

account. The truth is that we are not
more sensitive than others under adj

that we have to endure 1t oftener.-
