 FOR STATE TROOPS

Washington. April ssNot a single order either i've Or defnite5 has been transmit tied from the secretary of War to Brig.-G Gen. A c Mills. chief sof the Bureau Of Militia Affairs, for the nobiIization of the National Guard of any State of the Union This was he suIaq l1ali fled announce- naent made in the office Of Gen. Mills at the close of the fflciaI business day in. that bureau. The statement was predicated upon the continuous stream yoIleyed into Washington from every quarter Of the United Stat es.
 Also it was said in the office of the Secretary of War that no action had been taken looking to the mobilization of the militia. Secretary Garrison let 1t gbe known that he looked to Gen. Mills bureau staff to keep the War Department informed as to the exact conditions Of all the National Guards of the various States and that he was convinced that the bureau had every item of necessary information ready at hand. together with all plans for the mobilization of the guard if orders for mobilization shall be issued.
 It has been frequently pointed out by army officers and others high in authority in the War Department that the opportunities for fame and glory in the proposed modification of Mexico will be reserved almost exclusively to the army, navy and marine corps of the United States.
 The nliIItia.f if used at all, will take the place of@the regular troops called to active service across the border or along the shores of the Gulf of Mex leo and the Pacific Ocean It. will be the hun1drum of life in the fortifica- lions now occupied by the coast art<l- lery corps that most of the n1ilitianen will find themselves called upon to live if. in the development of the Mexican situation. the coast artillery, armed as infantry is drawn into the war

WHAT FATHER DID AND DIDN'T

Father used to make US sleep in I'M

a week in a cedar tub fl the kitchen.
Father used to make us ride in street
cars drawn by horses and lighted with
kerosene lamps, cars that ran of the
track about every three blocks IN
streets never cleaned In winter and
not overmuch in summer and that per-
haps were not paved at all. The side

Father didn't give us any elevators.
but made us climb. He didn't give US
any telephone. He made us ride In
railroad cars with link and pin coup
lings that jolted the life out OF US
every two miles and that were hauled
by wood burning locomotives that
kept us combing the cinders out OF
our hair all the time. He didn't give
us moving pictures, nor flying ma
chimes, nor meat grinders in the
kitchen; nor wellcut ready made
clothes for men and handsome gowns
for women, all at all sorts Of prices
to suit all purses. He didn't give US
any one of thousand comforts and
conveniences now shared by all and
which we couldn't think of doing with
out, things which in his day were

easy to knock the ant Off and kill it.
Other attempts proved as prolific
and the fish business thrived until

ants had had their supper or he hat
