tauquas Where Good
Work is Done.

The ehautauquas, conducted
throughout the different states in
the summer time, are places where
the officers and soldiers of the SAL
lyation Army gather together for the
exchange of ideas, Of methods and
means for the. better promotion OF
the army service. They are PLACES
also OF inspirational value where
lppted lecturers and speakers give
their views and Interpretation Of
some interesting topic pertaining to
the work. There are occasions also
where various events nave happened
in the army service, and by means
of limelight and by stereopticon are
thrown upon a screen, thus WITTY
ing TO great extent some of the
most remarkable cases which come
to the notice OF the service.
Another form of camp which the
army is undertaking, is a camp for
children and mothers, who, living in
stihed and unsanitary places for the
greater part of the year, are thus
given an outing which makes them
better physically. gives them a new
outlook upon life and a new hope
Within their breast.

play of the hundreds Of slum chill
dren which are taken to the fresh

feelings, and would prompt them to
lend a helping hand wherever pos
sible. These camps are God send

some afiiction which this sort of an
outing in the sunshine and air will
remedy.
The camp meetings which are con-
Quoted in the various stations where
the army is in vogue, partake more
OF the spiritual and inspirationa1 up
lift and encouragement. They also
are favored with the presence OF
noted lectures, who perhaps are
specialists in some particular line,
such as charity workers, social set
Element workers and slum workers,
and they do service as a great
agency indeed toward furthering
and promoting and encouraging
continuance in the ameliorating
types Of service the army affords.

to have men in soldier uniform guard

With the continued growth of the

to be recalled from detail work. or
the force will have to be increased.
Should the military guard be estab-

How Two Department Heads Compromised

n WILEY, the pure FODDER, and

Wiley and Moore were talking to a
couple of friends the other day and
somebody suggested a dinner. Wiley
said he would be in for it, and Moore
said he would. So 1t was arranged
that the dinner should be held at the
Cosmos club the next night.
When the guests arrived, Moore, be-

way to a table where the feast he had
ordered was to be spread.

NAVY in Fight for a Wooden Indian

THE authorities OF the state of Della
re have communicated to the navy
department a request that the wooden
statue of Tecumsen,t Indian CHIEF,
which formed the figurehead of the
old ship of the line Delaware, be turn
ed over to them, but the officers who
have graduated FROM the naval acad-
envy. where the figure of the old brave
is now, are not likely to permit its re-
moyal without vigorous protest.
Not only is the feeling general that
the naval academy is the proper ioca-
ton for as many OF the relics OF the
old navy as can be secured, but the
peculiar position of old Tecumseh IN
the traditions of the academy make
its removal almost out of the ques-
ton.
Brought to Annapolis shortly after
the return of the academy from New
port, to which it was transferred DUR
ing the Civil war, and set up In a
prominent place between h old sea-
manship building and the department
of ordnance and gunnery, the mid
shipmen almost at once raised the
statue to the position Of an idol, n
daubed 1t 1.-The God Of 2.5," h figure
being that which 1t Is necessary to OBJ

THE question of a military guard for
! the White House is occasion1ng
much discussion, both among people
who think soldiers should be detailed
there and among others who oppose
that plan. Adherents to the plan for
a military guard had to combat the
objection Of others that this would
be undemocratic, but they pointed out
that the president of practically every
republic in the world is guarded
against danger by soldiers. 1t would
not be necessary to have such a large
force of soldiery as to lend too much
of q military air to the White House,
1t was pointed out. Col. John NOEL
roy, a prominent G. A. R rsn, pro-
posed thai the presidents guard be
selected from among honcTably dis
charged soldiers. Such a plan, he
said, not only would lend proper dig
nifty to the White House, but would
tend to provide rewards for men who
have served the nation creditably IN

What the Copy Boy Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony OF
Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth
Times, once had a office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned AL old b~roken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and babe him learn to
run 1t.
"WhatU l write" the boy asked.
ooh. just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him,
and see how long 1t will take o to
fill a page with it."
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
yer again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: "Who the inven

SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Artist Did His Best, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Be Satisfied.

An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the flag OF our nation played
a large part. He drew the flag, first
time, with five stars in the blue field
and took 1t to the managing editor,
who promptly let out a yelp.
"Wadye think this country is" said
the managing editor, "a trust?"
What's the trouble" asked the art
list.
Trouble" beloved the managing
editor, why, we need more stars,
stars, stars!"
So the artist brought the picture
back and this time he had 1T stars In
1t by actual count.
The magaging editor felt his head
and choked slightly.
What do you think you're draw
ing?" he asked as last.
You're the hardest mar to please
l ever met in my life" said the artist

day, hot in pursuit of General Prices

we caught up with General Price
and had three days fighting with him.
This was the battle Of Pea Ridge. The

We suspected them. The order was
given to advance, but to hold our fire
