we're in for shortstops. Esmond can field
and can't hit: Mcdonald can bat and
can't field-and there you are. Wish the

do all the fielding and Mcdonald all the

President Taft Holds Travel Record

time Mr.. Taft was used to the court
room. and on his maiden trip to the
Orient he was affected with what has
proven to be an incurable case OF
travel mania. Since that first trip, a
little over ten years ago. he has trav-
eled almost necessarily, and from the
presidents personal standpoint it has
been most enjoyable, for all of the
trips and journeys and excursions up
to two and half years ago were made
at government expense. For since his
first appointment es Philippine CON-
missioner Mr. Taft has been continual
ly on the payroll of Uncle Sam, ex-
cepting the short period between his
nomination for the presidency in 1908
and his installation as president on
March 4, 1909.
Since be has been president he has
travelled also at government expenses.
for the president is allowed S25,000
year to cover his getting around"
expenses. an appropriation that came
into being when the railroads cut off

acted an anti-pass law.

Nobody criticises anybody for this.
A majority of the men heretofore and
now connected with the forestry bu-
reau no doubt have been faithful and
efficient employees, but there is no
gainsaying the fact that the knowl-
edge and experience they have &C
quired while working for Uncle Sam
has been OF great benefit to them in
bettering their position by getting out
side employment
Matters have reached such a pass
in the forest service that the per-
sonnel is constantly shifting and
changing. Young men enter the bu-

Trials by summary courts decreased
last year by 9,193 compared with the
previous year. These trials represent
ed 43 per cent of the average enlisted
strength of the army, decrease OF IA
per cent. from the 1910 percentage.
The reduced number of summary
courts, according to the Judge advo-
cate. has been accomplished without

counted for by the movement OF
troops from their posts to the maneu-
yer division, where the duty approx.

However. General Crowder believes
that the principal cause for the reduc-

KICKS WORTH $1,000 EACH
Laborer Asks $4,000 for Injuries In
flleted by Spokane (Wash.)
Mule.

Spokane, Wash.-Dynamite, a mule,
is the central figure in a complaint
hled in the circuit court here, on be-
half OF Frank Castor. a laborer. The
Columbia Contract company, averred
TO be owner of the mule, is defendant.
The mule by several kicks with a
freshly-shod foot is alleged to have
ruined the plaintiffs earning ability,
and Castor sued for $4,000.
Dynamite had trick of kicking to
ln1ure persons within striking dis
lance. He broke away from the cor
raj and invaded tent house, his
weight being such as to break through
the floor. Once outside, the mule
glanced sideways at Castor, and rec
ognized in him one of the men who
had held him bound with chains
during the process of shoeing a few
days before. Then the mule kicked
out, the complaint alleges. with the
following results:
Kick No. 1-Castor's right arm was
smashed.
Kick No. 2-Thes plaintiffs right
hand was lacerated and permanently
crippled.
Kick No. 3-Four of Castor's ribs

Miss Cherrie Vale, almost twenty
years old. had decided ideas about
suburban life. One OF them was to
keep a goat as pet, comrade and
friend. She had no care for a canary,
parrot, dog or cat, but she did want
a goat. and she wanted name for
him. Just why she called him Plutarch
men was bestowed upon the animal
generally referred to as Billy. the day
she bought him in the city and had
him shipped out to the village.
Miss Cherrie had plenty of friends.
Among themselves they said a goat
was a queer pet for a girl to keep
around. but when any one was asked
why a goat shouldn't be coddled,
combed. petted and fed on the best OF
the land he could put forward no good
objection. That the Vale goat appre
ciated his position in society was to be
noted in his walk; that the bad boys
in the village had better let him alone
was shown when Miss Cherrie went
for them with a horsewhip and the
village constable afterwards fright
ened them with threats Of chains and
dungeons.
Three months after his arrival
from the city Plutarch owned the vii
lage. 1t was his privilege to wander
where he would and be unmolested by
man or beast. He took on the dignity
OF governor and the exclusiveness
OF the president of butter trust, and
his days were full Of complacency.
Then came the shadow of trouble, and
1t soon developed into a solid sub
stance.
A new bridge was built across a
creek, a steep hill graded down and
macadam road brought the autos
chugging through a village which had
hitherto been avoided.
The dogs ran out, to be knocked
down and rolled over. Some were
killed and others went limping away
to be wiser next time. After a few
weeks Plutarch Vale was about the
only living thing in the village who
hadn't come to the conclusion that an
auto had the right of way over every
thing. He hadn't been impuisive in

Forest Service as Training School

TINCLE SANS success as master OF
- great training school is nowhere
better shown, perhaps, than in that
branch of the school known as the
forest service. The interstate COM
merce commission probably is a close
second. Great railroads and other
corporations are continually picking
out the most promising men connect
ed with the interstate commerce CON-
mission. The success of treasury,
postoffice, agricultural department and
geographical survey employees in land
ing good positions in the business or
scientific world is proverbial.
OF course, on the other hand, there
is trail of wrecked careers due to
younger men entering the government
service and losing their ambition in
dull routine work; but where the
young man stands the test his success
is usually great
The forest service. for example, has
developed into a great governmental
postgraduate institution for learning
the theory and practice of forestry.
A couple of years ago there was a
furor when 1t was learned that the
