THE BORDER PATROL.
BY a Fourth Cavalry Trooper

While sitting in comfortable quarters,
One cold and desOlate winter month";
We received Geographic orders
To go to the Mexican border at once
Every one was anxious TO go,
Down 10 the far and sunny southland,
Where Gin winter) flowers grow,
Along the silvery Rio Grande.
We arrived on the border line.
Expecting to have few fights,
Though all we could see or find,
Was many people taking in war
sights.
What we saw across the river,
When we got down to the FL PasO
smelter.
Was enough TO make an army shiver.
And begin to look for a friendly
shelter.
The hills were covered with men,
Each had on a big white straw hat,
Eager for the fighteO begin,
So they would have something TO
shoot at.
They are going to take Juarea-town,
In a very, very short time
Then we got orders to stay around,
And not let them cross the line.
The next few days were very quiet,
Both armies resting on their arms,
But on one cold and frosty night
The insurrectos went back TO their
farms.
Then we were to enforce neutrality
BY patroIing the boundary lire.
With orders to search all suspicious
wagons we saw,
And to take al contraband we could
find.
We were camped in ideal" places.
Where the sand storms constantly
Where the sun beamed down on our
faces
And where millions of mosquitoes flew.
Finally Juarez was surrounded again,
And after a three day hard battle
Hundreds of insurrectos charged IN,
Then the machine guns ceased to
rattle.
Now they have a new government,
Across the river in Mexico,
Also a different president,
That says he viii give all fair show.
We are still i'm the field.
Inhaling plenty of dust and sand
And 1t has been the talk great deal,
That we viii soon sail for foreign
land.
And now we are anxiously awaiting
Just any time. either night or day,
To be called to some post with COM
Portable quarters;
Just any place in the good old l. , A

JOHN F. KELnE & co.
Notable Improvements Made to
Interior of Modern Store

Patrons of the John F. Keane Com
pany were most agrecably surprised
Saturday when they noted the greatly
improved and enlarged store space
The Improvement and enlarg ement are
both the result Of installing the very
latest and best method of keeping
mems suits ready for wear. Instead
Of the old-fashioned way of having the
suits piled one over another on a ia
BILE, with the consequent need Of hay
ing the suit pressed before 1t ds ready
for service, each suit is now pressed
and hung, ready for wear, in specially
constructed wall cases. These cases
suit upon it's own hanger, DIN such a
manner that there are no creases in
the clothes. Each case is fitted with
a dust tight disappearing glass door.
Upon opening the door the rack con-
tanning the hangers can be pulled for
ward out of the case, making selection
easy. Each suit will be labelled on
the sleeve with its size, making It
only the work of an instant to say
just the size of both coat and trous-
ers
These cases are arranged in row
Oh eight down the entire left side of
the store with a large mirror, of the
angle style, in the center Of the eight.
This mirror will show one the way
the suit looks when worn, without
twisting and turning in the way one
has been accustomed This new ar
rangement gives much more aisle
SPACE in the store, and enables them
to place new row Of glass counter
cases down the entire right OF the
store, which are to hold new stock
of the smaller articles Of mems wear.
1t was only one year ago when the
firm built a show window which grea t.
ly enhanced the appearance of their
store, and these new cases prove fit
ting anniversary of the first improve
ment. The most approved spring
STYLES are now being shown at the
store, in all the leading makes, such
as Rogers, Peet & Co.. the Society
Brand, and Kuppenhefmer clothes.

Civil Service
Employees Organize
Form Local Branch of the u. S.
Civil Service Retirement
Association

One hundred and fifty employees OF
Uncle Sam of all departments of SER
vice, have formed a local branch Oh
the U. S. Civil Service Retirement AS
ISOLATION.
The officers Of the local branch are:
P. H. Howard, president; Wallace A
Smith, vice president; P. R. Carroll
d. Grady, j. c. Gormley and T. F.
Crane, trustees
The object of this association is to
obtain favorable legislation for super
animated employees
Uncle Sam expects the highest rate
Of efficiency from all his employees.
He expects from the old man who has
service the same efficiency that the
young man just entering the service
can give.
When the old man fails to give this
efficiency, he Dis ruthlessly removed,
unless the humane side of his superior
interpOses.
These occasions are rare for Uncle
Sam realizes that a continuation OF
inefficient employees is an impairment
to the service.
At present there are pending in Con-
gress three bills, the Austin BILL the
Billette bill, and the Hamn,!ll bill.
The Gillette bill provides for contri-
Z.
the eInploye already taxed to the limit
with the necessary expenses of living
would be a burden and is not accept
able.
The Austin bill provides for an in
crease of salary and contribution by
the employe. The increase of salary
is merely problematical This bill is
not acceptable.
The Hammil bill provides for a
straight out and out pension by the
government. This bill has the en-
dorsement of the Post Office Depart
ment and many Students of economy
Twenty-Five Of the leading railroads
of this country retire their superan-
nuated employees without cost to the
employee Among them are the Penn
sylvanfa and its branches: New York
Central, N. Y, N. H. & H, the South
ern Pacific, Union Pacific; Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, and Balti-
more & Ohio.
The International Harvester Co.,
United States Steel Corporation, Edi-
son Electric Co., Old Dominion S. S.
Co., and many national banks through
out the country retire their employees
in the same manner.
Germany has had this plan in OPERA
ton for one hundred years, and Eng
land for fifty years.
George w. Perkins, one Of the lead
ing financ'ers of the day, and for
years associated with the firm of j.
Pierpont Morgan & Co., says that the
retirement of superannuated employees
"is real economy and that it will be
worth millions of dollars to the gov
eminent annually"
The local ASSOCIATION is perfecting
arrangements for a public meeting In
the near future when prominent speak
ers will be heard on Retirement.

like those Of old, but there is still
room for much improvement, even for
radical changes and a thorough refor-
nation. We should be past the old
idea of merely inficting punishment
There should be genuine charity in
the administration Of discipline. Soci-
ETY. should aim at correction rather
than vengeance. Discipline should
make disciples. Good influences should
be brought to bear upon men and
women In jail.
According to our way Of thinking
there ought to be a collection of good
books in every jail and other infiu-
ences for good. such as pictures and
maxims on the walls intoxicating re-
ligious principles and love for liber-
ty and usefulness. The consensus OF
opinion seems TO be that the methods
