Halleck had complained to Nc
Clellan that Grant had left his
post at FIT. Donnelson and gone to
Nashville without consulting Hal
leck, his superior officer. 81 am
worn out and tired with his ne
glect and inefficiency." Halleck
wired. Perhaps there came a time
later when he regretted that word
"inefficiency," for there were a lot
of people in the United States
who thought the makers of books
of synonyms had overlooked a bet
when they did not set Halleck as
the opposite of efficiency.

ANOTHER THING CUBANs DO BETTER

Your mother or sister is very likely to walk into the saloon, in
Havana, when you re drinking, to take ice cream or tea.
So you are very likely to be careful about how much you drink.
There are always ladies-shoppers, mosuy-in the open saloons of
Havana.
Another way to describe the Havana saloon is to say that beer,
whisky and wines n sold at the soda fountains and lunch rooms.
The result is that the sight of a drunken Cuban on the streets is al
most enough to cause Kisses Of shame. Public opinion is all against
drunkenness.
With every saloon license granted there goes the provision that
every saloon keeper must give a drink of fresh, cold water to any
person who asks for it, whether the person buys anything or not.

BY A J WATERnousE

Back where the hills reach up and up
Till they touch the clouds In the sky's blue cap.
Back where the pines in the canyons grow,
And God is more near than He seems below;
Back in the hills in the days of gold
Well this is the way the story is told:
Really good lookin' was Handsome Joe,
Eyes bein' brown, and a winnin' smile,
Ruther inclined by himself to go,
Bein' retirin' in manner an style;
But the boys all liked him, an they was panied
When they found him annexed to Missoury's hosA
Which the same Missoury had righteous gained
In a game of poker to One-Eyes loss.
Well, right is the right, an we knowed in fact
That the game was up for Handsome Joe.
We was trooly grieved, but. caught in the act,
The rules of justice has got to go.
So we got a rope, an we found a tree,
An we barred his neck for the twist and turn
And, BARN it thus, says Cramp, says he,
81 move that this meetin' does now adjourn"
Which 1t certain did, for it wasn't Joe.
II might have been Sarah, or Susan, or May,
Or even Belinda, es far es / know,
But it wasn't Joe / am bound to say,
Twas an alibi sure an certain to win,
An so she departed without any fuss,
An she never was hanged, but she'd better have been,
For she married Missoury, an that was wuss.
Back where the hills reach up and up
They tell such tales DER a good night cup,
And vow they are true. 1t well may be,
But 1 tell them only as told to me.

A Quit That Means Mischief

The long period of quiet on the subject of the public safety de-
partment that has pervaded the columns of opentown newspapers
is significant.
Cast your mind back eight years: Those papers, in the sweet
spring tide, when the same crocuses were blooming (and election
was coming on) suddenly ceased saying a word about the franchise
grab they had been promoting. stopped viifying Mayor Campbell for
defending the city from the T. r. e p, and spoke of anything else
to create prejudice among voters that they might bring in their own
reign.
Today they are repeating those stale tactics against Commission
er Petit. AS they learned that the franchise was unpopular, and
dropped 1t, so have they learned that their sham robberies were hurt
Ing themselves and helping Petit, and dropped 1t.
As one has we'll said: I'm the excitement of turning this town
upside down with five distinct varieties of recall last year, they
elected a really good commissioner of public safety. Now they have
retired into protected Information, and a good many of them do not
even know that his term expires this spring and that he will be up
for reelection"
And the opentown papers win take care to prolong their comno-
ience until is too late to register, after March IL, when they will
again turn their guns on Petit. 1 heard a good, earnest old Chris
tan at a noon prayer meeting pray that the people would register.
Why would it not be a good idea for every church to urge the duty
publicly?
And why do not the women who focked to the polls for Sey-
mour take an equal interest in the continuance of a clean town by
registering and voting for Petit? C. I. B.
THERE may not be much of the California democracy. but the
nation can reliably expect a real sized odor before the Wilsonites
get through with Willie Hearst's plan to hand the delegation over to
Champ Clark.

That Lawrence Infamy

Why shouldn't the operators of those Lawrence textile mills OBJ
1oct to the strikers children leaving town for outside homes, where
they would be cared for?
To let the children out of the battle of Dollars against Men
would be poor policy on the part of Dollars, and s. the police and
militia club and baynet the parents, to prevent an exodus of the little
ones
children are without bread and warmth, in winter time, it is hard for
mothers and fathers to hold out against anything demanded of them
..u A textile mill workman may be able to starve and freeze and
still refuse to work on slaves pay, for some time. But when his
little ones cry for food and become blue with the cold, it is another
matter, and his stubborn heart is more apt to yield early. Putting
his children beyond reach of misery makes a father a harder party
to subdue.
But the Wooden Trust might carry the idea farther. If it can
take the peoples children out of their parents arms a a war meas
ure, 1t ought to be able to take the clothing off their bodies, 81 that
they would freeze quicker. and thus sooner reduce the parents to sub
mission.
There's another reason, too. why the Lawrence authorities will
not permit those children to leave Lawrence. Some of the little ones
work In the mills. What is the great Wooden Trust, which this whole
nation has been protecting" to do without child labor? Indeed
these children r very valuable to the owners of the textile mills
They're cheap labor. and it only takes two or three special police
men" to club a child. 49,.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and Ger;
I'm neare the opening game,
I'll wait but a few weeks more,
Nearer the grand stand seat,
Mid the crispy peanut shells;
Nearer the old home plate,
Nearer the boots and yells.
One wish pervades my soul,
One wish my heart entreats-
That | have that day the price
OF one of those front row seats.
Human bones are so per cent
