THE announcement OF the dismissal

THE announcement OF the dismissal
OF Colonel John S. Mosby from ms
position in the Department OF Justice
will be read with regret by his friends
and acquaintance throughout the
country. Colonel Mosby has for scv-
eral years worked earnestly IN attempts
to break up certain questionable procc-
dures on the part OF cattlemen III the
middle west, and his active and eonSci-
entious labors in this field raised
ND enemies occasionally. At the same
time he has been confronted by others,
representatives Of the government, VIII"
did not vie with him rs he had right to
EXPECT. So potentional was the IN
Auence of these cattle baronS that
although President Roosevelt sent Col
onel Mosby to the middle west IN the
interest of the government, Senator
Dietrich and others had him recalled.
Dietrich. it will be remembered, was
later ousted from the Senate Tor the
part he played against the government )
interests in the public lands. Colonel
Mosby is now entering the sere anu

Lees army, the issue OF ratlons t" the
Confederate soldiers and allowing them
to depart with their horses and side
arms, tempered the indecent behavior

Mosby was special object of hatred 10

he appeared in Alexandria after the
surrender he was surrounded by large

A Bathtub Cover
THERE is nothing in the world

THERE is nothing in the world so
hard to keep really clean as an
- enameled bathtub. One woman
has had recourse finally to covering
of unbleached muslin, cut the size of
the tub and rounded off at the ends to
fit 1t. A bias facing is then stitched
around the cover and through this a
stout tape is run. When the tub is
not in use the cover is thrown over it
and the tape drawn tight around the
projecting edge. 1t is easy enough to
wash, and spares an incredible amount
of wear and tear for the bathtub.
