WEAKNESSES IN THE ARMY.

Uncle Sam's soldiers should profit from the comment on their condition and abilities contained in the annual report of Inspector General Darlington. The inspector points out whole bat talion of artillery starting for the Phil ippines without a single field officer, and one of the batteries commanded by second lieutenant of less than two years service.
 The inspector general declares that this absence of captains from their commands is the most fruitful source of professional disease in the line of the army today"
 The time for specialization has ar rived, in the opinion of another in spector general
 People who think the United States army stands at the top of the profes- sion would be rudely jared to learn from Inspector General Bell that the field army Is wholly unprepared for field service. He says the new regu- lations are almost entirely theoretical or dependent upon the experience of European armies. Our transportation is the same as at the beginning of the Civil war, for our army has so far failed to make use of automobiles, trac- ton engines and other modern appli- ances in the field.
 While our infantry" Major Bell says, Ifs composed of the best mate rial in the world, and is probably as well if not better trained in the use of the rife than that of any army, its marching capacity is below medi- ocrity. and yet 1t is admitted today that the fate of the battles of the fu- ture depends, as 1t has in the past, upon the marching capacity of the in- fantry"
 To remedy these conditions, Major General Wood, chief of staff, issued or ders which will change materially the training of the army. All inspectors general will be required to submit the troops to an annual inspection in the field in addition to the present inspec- tion. which is described in some quar- ters as being little less than an in- quiry into the accounts and garrison work of the troops. The new inspec- tion will be designed to show the ef- ficiency of the troops in the theoret- ical work taught army officers at the various schools and provided for in the various drill regulations.

Lunch In South.

New to me-" said a traveller lately returned from his first trip in the south, was the lunch table on wheels that they push alongside the trains there for the convenience of passen- gers in the cars. We saw one ol these at a station in North Carolina. Table, maybe four feet long by two feet wide, built rather high and set upon wheels big enough so that the table could be moved about on then. easily. Sort of two-story table this. the lower story being practically a long, broad shelf underneath, on which they keep supplies from which to re plenish the things on sale-oranges, bananas, sandwiches and so on. At z station where there is no dining room or where the train doesn't stop long they roll this table along at the side of the cars; the table top is high enough for passengers to reach the things on it from the car windows New York Sun.

When Words Failed.

Robert Burton. an antique dealer. appeared. at Marlborough street police court to prosecute Frederick William Hopner. watchmaker, on a charge of stealing an organette, some spoons. carvers. pictures and ornaments.
 The evidence showed that the prose cutor gave the prisoner shelter after knowing him for 20 years, when he was destitute. The articles were missed, and on Hopner being spoken to about them he went away. MT. Burton then wrote him a letter. in which he said:
 'you are a black villain, worse than Doctor Crippen; a mean; cringing. hypocritical, black villain: mealy mouthed hypocrite. I cannot find words to express my opinion of you,
 Magistrate Mead remarked: You have done very we'll" and those in court laughed. They also smiled when the reply of the prisoner to that letter was read. It contained the sen tence:
 q tainted when I read it."
 The articles were pledged.-Pali Mall Gazette.

NEST OF WILD ALLIGATOR
Built of Mud, Grass and Mold and ls Natural Incubator for the
 Numerous Eggs.

"An alligator's nest is an interesting thing" said Alligator Joe. Wild alli- gators build their nest on the bank of a river or in marshy place. They are made of mud, saw grass and leaves and mold. They are sort of natural in- cubators, for the eggs, which are laid from 35 to so in a nest at one time, are matched out by the steam which comes up through the mud as much as by the sun. Around the nest pile of grass is laid, sometimes as high as six feet, and from distance resembles a stack of hay. The mother gator has her den near by. She makes it by burrowing into a bank of soft mud, and sometimes it is 70 feet or more inland. The only way to get her out of a den like that is to take a long steel rod and thrust it down the tun- nel, which is always slanting. When the gator feels the prodding she will come out to see what the trouble is. It takes alligator eggs two months and six days to hatch. When the little ones come out the mother calls them together by a noise which is some thing between a chuck and a grunt, and they all scramble down from the nest to her den. If it is on the edge of river the den is filled with min nows. As the mother enters the den she swishes her tail around with ter rife force, killing the smallest fish, and when they float the little alliga- tors nab them up.
 "A mother alligator will sometimes have four or five dens, and she takes her brood from one to another, repeat ing the swishing process in each one until the young ones have had full meal"-Leslie's Weekly.

TO DO AWAY WITH FUCKER
perimented with the Persimmon for Years.

Puckerless persimmons are now be- ing experimented with by the depart ment of agriculture in the hope that able American fruits, the Washington Star says. The experiments are being carried on both in Washington and iD the south, the first to take the pucker out of otherwise desirable persim mons, and the second to grow persim- mons that have no quicker to take out.
 The persimmon has been a problem with the department for many years. There are some big varieties that look almost like tomatoes and that make a beautiful spoon fruit when they are ripe, but they cannot be taken to market after they get ripe. because then they are too soft to transport. The result has been that many of he citrus fruit dealers who handle them have come to look upon them largely as a table decoration Great, lucious looking persimmons are shipped, nicely wrapped in tissue pa per, and sometimes on the wrapper the packer prints a caution to the coD- Sumer to keep the persimmon until 1t is ripe and soft. But the consumer does not, and there is another enemy added to the long list of people who think the big persimmon is a delu sion.
 There is another problem on which the department worked at one time and that was the production of seed less persimmon. A tree of this sort was discovered outside of Washing. ton on a Maryland farm, and it was thought if the seedless variety could be grafted on some of the native trees that a new fruit would be pro- duced that in its way would equal the seedless orange. Nothing ever came of this experiment, but among the varieties of the big persimmon that have been introduced from China there is one that Is seedless and that may be raised into a fruit that will fill a long-felt want.

yers in New York today. Young, pretty, and piquant. possessed of all the attributes for brilliant social ca reer. she is the last person in the world to be associated with the idea of dry law books and crusty judges. says Human Life.
 Divorce cases are the only ones Mrs. Mulliner refuses to accept. She does not believe in divorce and will Got, she says, lend her legal knowl- edge to the breaking of the marriage tie But she has helped people into happiness by using her knowledge of the law as applied to marriage and property rights.
 Mrs. Mulliner is responsible for the new law just passed which ere. ates a separate court for the trial of domestic relations cases, and for the trial of women under arrest in a woman's court. This was her work as chairman of the legislative commit. tee of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs. The provisions advocated by her committee have been incorporated in the Page com mission bill on inferior courts, and Mrs. Mulliner spoke before the sen ate and the mayor of New York in its behalf. It is her hope to see separate building erected for the wom- ans court.
 She approves of the law as a profes- sion for women-if woman must earn an income. There Is no profes- sion. she believes, that gives greater opportunity for good results. But in- stead of an office for women she strongly recommends a home and nursery. "A cradle is more interest ing than a letter-file at the end of 8 day" she says; and no client can be so desirable as ones own husband. An office if one must. but not unless one must" And this is her firm belief. in spite of money. success and fame.

ernment service. Then as an incident 10 battle between President Roose- velt and congress the latter saw 1t to crush the old secret service The president had intimated that secret service men were keeping a watchful eye on certain representatives sus- pected of using their positions for the purpose of furthering their own for tunes. The dignity of congress was outraged. Vengeance was taken by limiting Chief Wilkie to the narrow groove of counterfeit prosecution and creating a new service with a wider scope than the old had ever dreamed of, but which tacitly understood the danger of fooling with congress buzz saws.
 Stanley w. Finch is the chief of the new secret service, which has the of ficial name of the bureau of investi- gation of the department of justice Mir. Finch is a young man, incisive, alert, effective. He has force of nearly 200 young men, mostly law yers. and largely college graduates, preferably with wide experience of the world and of business. Viola tions of the antitrust laws form a large part of the work of the bureau Only lawyer would be able to han dle the intricacies of those investiga- tions. Then the lawyer-detective makes out the case so understanding ly that a vast amount of detail is saved when it is brought to trial
 Agents Most in Demand.
 The government got the death grip on the night riders in Kentucky be- cause of this understanding of law on the part of one of its secret service men. All sorts of outrages were be- of the attempt of the tobacco growers to control the marketing of the crop. So strong was the local sentiment in favor of this procedure that the local courts were ineffective
 The department of justice agents went into Kentucky and investigated the lawlessness. Unless it had di- rectly to do with interstate business the federal government had no right 10 interfere. A farmer was found who had refused to sell through the organ iZation. independently he had hauled his tobacco to town and had loaded it for shipment to Cincinnati. The or ganizotion interfered. attempted to in- ;imidate him. hauled the tobacco Sack to his barn, and finally burned it. The lawyar-detective grasped the point that his tobacco had been consigned to Cincinnati and that in interfering with it's shipment the federal inter. state law had been violated. Upon this one point hung the authority through which the federal govern ment last year crusheS the night riders

NEW SECRET FORCE
Detective Service That May Lead
 Them All.
Bureau of Investigation Which Was Created by Uncle Sam Two Years Ago Has. Already Accom-
 pIished Many Things.

Washington.-A new secret service, larger and more powerful because of the latitude 1t is given than has been any other such organization in the na- tion, has within the last two years be- come a part of the federal govern ment Authorized to act for every branch of the government, and to handle all manner of cases of viola ton of the federal statutes, its agents are sent to all parts of the world. Al ready 1t employs more secret agents, spends more money, performs great CT variety of service than has any other such body of men since time be- gan.
 This new secret service Is in the department of justice. Its province is to gather evidence in all manner of cases that this department repre- sents before the courts. Antitrust prosecutions, violations of the national banking laws, and graft, bucketshop frauds, night riding, smuggling, pc onage, white slavery and a hundred other counts come under it's jurisdic- tion. In the work of all the depart iuShlS IL ldhSS AOAu WASES luNSSllSd- tions point to crime. There are in- vestigating bureaus in most of the de partments. These amass facts and figures. but no evidence. The province of the new secret service is to pro- cure evidence admissible in court in any case where the government may appear as the prosecutor
 New Service Created
 This work formerly was done by Chief Wilkie of the far-famed secret service of the treasury department. The province of this service was in the beginning to prevent counterfeit ing. But when other departments needed detectives they called on Chief Wilkie because there was no other organized detective agency in the gov

Next to the lawyer the newspaper man is the most popular individual in the new secret service. This man has been trained to go in and get the facts. There are a score of old gun men of the west in the new service, too. These are the best men with the six-shooter that could be found. There are certain characteristics that must be common to all of Finch's force. A secret service man must al ways be inconspicuous. There are none of the handsome, fine and strap ping sort of men in this work. The secret agent must remain unknown. must be lost in the crowd. But with this unobstrusiveness there must be cleverness. Without seeming to ob- serve the detective must see all, must be bulldog for tenacity and forceful in emergency.
 Early Results.
 For the maintenance of this force congress last year appropriated $4S5, 900 for the protection, prevention and prosecution of crime" For the de lection, prevention and prosecution of lulIluSSmSulS OI laO ldW an additional $200,000 was appropriat- ed. Such sums of money as this were never dreamed of by the old secret service, the appropriation for which was $135,000
 Already the new service is getting results. It was this force that pro- duced the evidence that convicted Charles w Morse of New York and John R. Walsh of Chicago of viola tions of the national banking law. It was this organization that unearthed the plot on the part of United States citizens to start a revolution in Mex ico. The recent bankruptcy frauds in Alabama were exposed by the same body of men, as were the land frauds of Alaska, and the bucket shop frauds that have led to the arrest of a score of men. some of them millionaires.

One of Sir Benjamin Stones more frequent sitters has been Mir.

But if it could be alleged that any likeness existed between that great statesman. not bodily or men tally, but in his aspirations, in his de sire to be of use to his country, then I should be proud indeed" Perhaps the last photograph ever taken of hir. Chamberlain was that by Sir Ben jamin at the notable fetes in Birming- ham to celebrate the great statesman's s seventieth birthday. At the house of commons MT. Chamberlain was ever ready to help his colleague, and on one occasion volunteered to go and hunt up the reluctant Michael Davitt and bring him to the spot for the pu-- pose.
