NEGRO KNEW NOTED MEN
Veteran Porter, Who Died Recently,
Served on Private Car OF Sew
eral Presidents.

The death of David Hazelton, the
veteran porter In the office Of the
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad in Baltimore, removes IA
miliar figure from the ranks Of the
old school of Maryland servants. Per-
haps no other negro in this country
was acquainted with so many promi-
nent men Of affairs. says the Railroad
Mans Magazine.
David, who was over seventy, was a
native Baltmorean. While a boy he
witnessed the Baltimore riot on April
10, 1851, and was ever fond of telling
of the encounter with the Massachu-
sets soldiers,
He entered the service ~ The Bslti-
more & Ohio railroad in 1874 as a
walter at the Relay house, a few miles
from Baltimore. Dining cars were not
then known on American railroads.
He continued In this position for
more than a year. Later he became
head waiter at the Deer Park hotel
when the Baltimore &c Ohio opened
1t in western Maryland. 1t was Presi.
dent John w. Garrett who about 1876
chose him as a private car porter. For
more than thirty years he remained
in charge of the official cars OF the
Baltimore G. Ohio's presidents.
During that time David crossed the
continent hundreds of times In charge
OF special parties and with officials OF
the railroad He has ridden over prac-
tically every mile of railroad track In
North America from the Isthmus Of
Panama to the northernmost lines OF
Canada. He was six feet tall and
made striking appearance in his uni
form Of royal blue trimmed in gold
and cap slightly tilted.
On trip with party in which
Commodore Vanderbilt was guest
David's dinner was pronounced by the
commodore the best meal he had ever
eaten. David had charge of presiden-
tial parties from General Grant down
10 Mckinley and Roosevelt General
Grant was numbered as one OF his fa-
vorite guests. President Cleveland
also frequently Travelled with David,
When he started on his honeymoon he
made a special request that David be
placed In charge OF his car.
David retired few years ago and
became a messenger in the office Of
the Baltimore & Ohio's president. Wis
itors VIII recall David occupying a
place just outside the suite of the chief
executive of the road, his hat slightly
tilted and humming tune popular in
Dixie.

SQUIRRELS OR TREES?
SERIOUS PROBLEM coNFRoNTs
EXPERTS IN FORESTRY.
Little Animals Cause Serious Trouble
Wherever Forest Service Has
Tried to Reforcst cut-cver
or Burned Areas.

Whether we have squirrels or for
ests In the United States Is. question
that Is now presenting itself urgently
to the department OF agriculture. Dr.
H. H.. Henshaw. chief Of the biological
survey, has just returned TO Washing
ton after tour Of the west. where
the forest service is worried over this
problem.
The squirrels that are forcing
themselves into the balance against
the trees are the gray squirrels OF the
west and the Pacific coast. There
has been an immense amount OF
trouble wherever the forest service
has tried to reforest either cut-over or
burned areas from the small rodents
that ate the seeds before they sprout-
ed. The gophers, field mise and
ground squirrels have been the worst
offenders, and 1t has been found nec-
essary to exterminate these little pests
over large areas before reforesting
was at ell successful.
This has been done In some cases
with the aid Of the biolo yical survey,
and In eases where from rs to so per
cent. OF the seed were formerly. eaten
within IS hours after planting, 1t has
been found possible to kill off the
small ground animals and get good
stand OF new timber. In fact, in the
Cochapaw forest OF Colorado 1t Is
probable that the stand CT young trees
will have to be thinned out to give
room the trees ought to have.
But Dow comes the gray squirrel
and presents new problem to the for
ester. I'm most Of the reforesting areas
the seed of the yellow pine is the most
desirable seed to be planted The gray
squirrels, 1t Is found, not only eat the
seed that are planted, bat II the seed
crop Is at all light they cat the seed
before the foresters can collect them
for planting. The rangers have tried
the experiment OF watching the squir-
rels and find they frequently can 10.
cate the boards of the little red SPUR
rel. getting as much as bushel Of
seed sometimes from a single gran
airy. But the gray squirrel does not
hoard the seed He either eats as he
goes or else buries scattered seed SO
II Is useless TO look for them.
The biological survey does not want
to exterm!nate the squirrels, and does
not intens to poison them, at first at
any rate, but will send out hunters
to kill them off by shooting In the
worst infested regions tc see whether
they can lie held in check till the new
trees get start
Doctor Ilenshaw said b. made WIS.,

10000 acres have been faced on the
Flathead Indian reservation, and found
the herd CT bison irstallei there doing
well and taking kindly ~ their new

or pay the department o. agriculture
for having It done, but the department
does not want to risk this invasion OF
the bison territory, and the method by
which the question shall be settled
has not yet been worked oat

Hooked Perfect.

A few nights ago an old family
friend was calling at the apartment Of
Gen. George Pennington Borden, u.
s. A., retired. The general and his
friends were conversing on military
tactics when Mrs. Borden entered
the room and with the brief explana-
ton, after greeting the guest, Maids
busy" indicated to the majestic war
rior that he was to fasten those two
buttons at the back Of her blouse
which defy the most agile feminine
contortions. Meekly the veteran
arose, murmuring, How are the
mighty fallen! What rights are left
TO men when a brigadier general OF
the United States army must button
a blouse In the back? How can I
pose as a military tactician when
can be driven into a corner by SIM
pie wave of feminine iAnd?"
Despite his wall, the struggle whs
soon over, and the gallant soldier was
rewarded with the information: You
did that very we'll"
THANK you, my dear" said the
general mournfully. 81 am glad to
have my humble talents recognized"

bUCAb0O IS AS
TO SOURCE OF
CAMPAIGN Cash
Champ Clark Faced by Question
that Always Creets
Candidates
BY Robert Compton.

Washington, April 12.-Again
that unfeeling political bugaboo,
Where are you getting your cam
paign fund? rises up to confront a
presidential candidate. First it
camped industriously on the trail OF
Gov Woodrow Wilson, whose friend
ship with Col. Harvey permitted Of
the inference that Wall Street was
giving first aid" to the Wilson
boom. Then these friends parted
and the Wall Street money barrel
faded from the vision of the Cover
nors enemies.
Now the bugaboo points it's accus-
ing finger at Champ Clark. The
Speakers political foes are busy cir
culating report that his boom is
being financed by large Western
brewing interests and other oppon-
ents of restrictive liquor laws. This
is what they base their statement
on: Early in the campaign former
Mayor David Rose, of Milwaukee,
who is one of the salaried lecturers
of the Personal Liberty" propogan-
do, said that the opponents of the
anti-liquor agitation would support
GOV. Marshall, of Indiana. More re-
Gently, particularly since the Speaker
has injected vigor into his campaign
these interests, it is asserted, have
rallied to the Clark banner. The
statement is made that this support
is being given because of a hope
that the Speaker will not go out Of
his way to force legislation through
the House to prohibit interstate ship
ments of liquors into dry" states.
But whether or not this statement
has any foundation in fact, it is true
that no complaint OF lack of funds
comes from the Clark camp. The
Clark headquarters here in a down
town hotel has large force of
clerks at work and travelling agents
out The managers are plentifully
supplied with cash and spend it lib
orally. Yet the Speaker is not a rich
man and has not been politician
whose attitude would commend him
to any special interest seeking aid
and willing to pay for it. Up to this
time the Speaker has made no state
ment as to the source of his cam
paign barrel" but as in the case of
Wilson, Harmon, Underwood, Taft
and r. R., there must soon come a
reckoning the people will want to
"be shown"

It's easy when you're drifting with the
current down the stream,
When the oars are shipped beside you
and the laughing ripples CLEAN;
When there's naught to do but idle in the
cushioned seat and bask
In the happy, glowing sunshine, while the
water does the task.
But there comes sudden waking to the
fancy and the dream
When the time arrives that someone has
to pull against the stream.
The fellow who's contented while the cur
rent bears him on
Finds that every mile he travels shows a
wished-for haven gone;
Finds the water bears him softly where
the waiting chances lie,
But unless he does some rowing it will
swiftly bear him by;
Finds that down the stream the inches
that he looks for all are full,
And that If he'd seek the right one he
must turn about and pull.
But it's easy-very easy-just to float
along and dream,
Yet the man some time discovers that he
canont float up stream,
And he learns, too, that the world Is full
of folks that like to drift,
But the farther down the river there the
current grows more swift:
And he also learns in sorrow that sue
cessful ones would seem
To have no use for the fellow VINO VIII
never row up stream.
