The regular Friday afternoon entertain

several hundred women. Mrs. Logan
carried them back to the day when she
came to Washington In 1855 as a new

private papers tied on behind. and how

Probably the only two men high up in
public life who look upon base ball as a
virulent form of dangerous insanity are
Postmaster General Burleson and Sena-
tor Boise Penrose. Albert Sidney has said
over and over again that men who con-
gregate in front of public scoreboards
should be arrested as vagrants. and
Boise. the chubby boss of the keystone
state, scarcely knows which way to run
when a base hit is scored. His attentions
to the political game have kept him
from failing to touch second when a
home run was to be scored, but there is
well authenticated story afioat in the
Capitol that T. RS friend Boise has seen
base ball diamond only twice in his
life.
And this seems strange too. Penrose
went to a private school and later to
Harvard He is considerable of a SWIM
mer. and rumor has it he rowed on a
Harvard crew of some sort. but that he
never paid the slightest attention to
base ball in all of those youthful years
before he contracted several hundred
pounds beneath his wesscut.
One of the two games of base ball he
has seen took place at the Polo Grounds

There is something ever fresh and green

cute little experiences that one won

special providence to look after them.
II they were left to bare bad fate am
sure they would all be crushed under the
wheels of hay wagons, fire engines, street
cars or brewery chartots, because they
certainly do take chances that no unpro-
tected human could risk and remain
whole.
For instance, take Frederick Steckman,
who is now taking chances daily with
Frank Lords automobile while Frank is
in Maine with the democratic party en-
deavoring to carry that state for the ad-
ministration at the coming election. Fred
has been cautiously running around in
Franks nice-looking car for a few days.

he would report that he had endeavored

asked a friend.

remark.

Germans across the French border.
French Army Surprises.
Officers of the general staff said that
the military efficiency of the French
army surprised the foreign military ex-
perts who witnessed the maneuvers in
southern France last September. Two
armies. each of 10000 men. operated
under conditions as nearly as possible
resembling war.
''In what respect has the French army
improved most?' an officer of the gen.
eral staff was asked last night
"In field artillery" he replied "The
new French field piece is a remarkably
effective weapon. Some experts think the
French field artillery of today is superior
in quickness of firing, range. destructive
power and mobility to any artillery in
Europe. The French cavalry, which was
considered the best in Europe a decade
ago, is somewhat reduced in value. The
commissariat of the French army is now
depending for the first time almost ex-
clusively on automobile service for sup
plying the army with fresh meat and
food. even on the fighting line. This revo-
lutionizes and solves one of the most
difficult problems Of modern warfare In
