A raw recruit from remote corner

first time In a field maneuyer In Eng

structed him to look out carefully for
the colonel coming to inspect the post.
After an hour he returned and asked
the soldier, HAS the colonel been
here"
Receiving an answer In the negative,
he went away, returning later on with
the same inquiry.
Awhile later the colonel appeared.
The recruit did not salute properly,
which incensed the colonel, who as a
hint asked him:
"Do you know who am?'
Faith and do not" answered the
recruit.

of the Secretary OF the Interior of
List No. 10 for 1857 acres to be
reclaimed under the Carey Ac, by
the Las Vegas Irrigational F,nit

This is the first segregation u Ter
the Carey Act to be approved where
the lands are to be reclaimed by ar.
tesian wells. There are five more
lists embracing about 5000 acres
in that valley pending approval
which may be expected at an early
date.
With this approval, l34,G42
acres have been segregated by the
Department of the Interior for
reclamation purposes in this sta G
under that Act.
AS it is proposed to reclaim sever.
al hundred thousand acres of land
in this state by means of artesian

THE RULING PASSION

The Doiy of girl. strangely
preserved, among the dust and
hardened lava, has been discovered
in the excavations at P0mpeii.
From the attitude in which the
remains were found, and the fact
that jewelry was still in the clasp
of the finger bones feshIess for l8
centuries. it is inferred that she
was but one of the many victims
who sought in vain to carry their
most precious belongings beyond the
deadly zone of noxious gases, the
black clouds Of lapilli and the
glowing torrents of rava on the last
day of Pompeii.
The ruling passion has been in
evidence in the case of other dis
ccvcries made by the excavations.
Thus. a Roman sentry was found
virtually petrified by the preserv-
alive iEcrustation-in his sentry
box, prOVinghis devotion 20 duty
stronger than tn" first inclination
to flight. A dogs skeleton was
found stretched above that of his
young master. An inscription on
the collar Of the animal proved
that on two previous OCCASIONS he
had sa, ed the boys Iife-oncc in a
shipwreck and once in murderous
attack of brigands.
Most of the inhabitants succeeded
in making their escape. Those
who persisted presumably gave their
lives in the effort to save their
valuables. The most conspicuous
instance is that Of a huddled group
found amid their jew clry and
trinkets in wayside inn on the
road to Stable. Hampcrcd, as
they were by their worldly wealth,
the fiery deluge fell upon them.
consuming Dives and sparing his
riches for the patient arcbaeologist
centuries afterward.
Who shall blame the poor girl,
whose skeleton has just been I'M
earthed, for wanting TO take with
her the necklace and bracelets and
the twinkling adornments of her
hair? She literally gave her life
for the very things for which many
lives are sacrificed today. .-Phila-

ALDRICH'S CURRENCY PLAN

The !ong-expected "plan for the
revision of the national banking
legislation" submitted to the
national monetary commission by
Senator Aldrich was made public
Tuesday. The main features of the
proposed new law are as fol-
lows:
Reserve association with $780,
600. 900 capital.
To give this body sole power to
issue bank notes.
Division IF country into fifteen
financial districts.
Each district to be composed of
several local banking reserve
bodies.
To restrict dividends of national
reserve corporations to 5 per cent,

To make association furnish
weekly reports to comptroller OF
currency.
To establish two new classes of
banks. one class to loan or real
estate, the others to be really trust
companies.
That there is need Of reform in
our currency and banking laws has
been felt by all classes of citizens
since the useless and disastr III
panic of 1907, when the entire
country was placed on a clearing
house certificate basis.
