STATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
BY FRED c. KELLY.

WASHINGTON. April 14.-Secre-
tary Bryan has never yet dictated a
letter or speech while riding horse
back. But that is one of the com
paratively few places where he
makes no effort TO convey his
thoughts TO, stenographer. He
thinks nothing of debating while
walking casually along the street.
Three or four mornings a week, if
che were noticing, one might see the
secretary of state leave his home ac-
cCmpanied by a confidential secre-
tary who has gone there for the pur-
pose of walking down TO the state de-
partment with Mr.. Bryan. As they
were alone, Mr.. Bryan distates and
the secretary jots it down in a note
book so small that it is almost hid
from view by the mans hand.
Unless one were paying close heed,
one would never know there was any
dictatiOn going on at all. They seem
TO be merely cOnVersing.
One morning recently Mr.. Bryan
and one of his secretaries might have
been seen To huddle into a little
niche in the wall near one of the en-
frances OF the state department. and
for some time stood there while Mr..
Bryan dictated
If we so up TO the office" smil-
ingly explained Mr.. Bryan, there
will be such a crowd there that it
may be hours before we can get
these letters disposed of"

The over sensitive Marshal.

IJraWtOrdSVlIIe JOurnaII
Our marshal was aggravated and
twitted until he was obliged TO make
an arrest and cause a conviction for
auto speeding and he now declares
that if they do not take a hint he will
pinch others for the same offense.
THIS is not so far a shore as it was
a year ago. Then there was barely
ripple against the beach when the
baseball season opened. Now there is
quite a surf.

Some weeks ago Vice President
Marshall made the remark that the
greatest need of this country is "A
good fiVe-cent cigar. The remark
was printed in the newspapers and
manufacturers of five-cent cigars be-
gan to lombard the vice president
with sample boxes of their wares.
Marshall has now tried a great many
more brands of fVe-cent cigars than
he had a month or two ago, but he
row issues this statement:
The cOuntry's greatest need still
EXISTS"

Cen. Isaac r. Sherwood Of Toledo
Ohio, one of the few remaining civil
war veterans ip congress. has a pas
sion for high-priced horses. He
usually has a team of spirited, whim-
sical-looking animals here in Wash
ington, and he is generous about ask
ing other congressman TO go driving
with him, but they seldom go be-
cause the horses look as if they
might take fright at the Washington
monument any minute, without no
tice. and try to climb a tree. Gen.
Sherwood, however, is not afraid of
them-even if he is IS years old.
The only horse that ever gave the
general a real fright was "a settled
little driving horse known as "Old
Roy"
One day while driving "Old ROY"
about the streets Of Toledo. Gen.
Sherwood stopped at a livery stable
10 engage the proprietor in CONVEX
sation and run a few errands in the
neigh bOrhood. He drove Roy right
in and tied him carefully 10 a stout
beam, never noticing that il was one
OF the corner uprights of the carriage
elevator.
As the general stood chatting with
the liveryman, a bright young chap
who was working his way through
Yale by serving time in the livery
stable summers, approached the ele-
vator shaft on the second floor. Not
knowing anything about Roy being
hitched below, he began 10 pull the
cable.
Gen. Sherwood. hearing a cOmmo-
ton. glanced about 10 see Old Roy
standing up on his hind legs and
still going up.
mo great harm was done" says
the general. but II gave me an
awful shock. Imagine how YOU your
self would feel if YOU had a horse
named Roy. noted for being quiet
and self contained. and YOU sudden

THE WORK THAT BIRDS
DO FOR THE FARMERS

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, O., Judson
g. Welliver, Washington correspon-
dent of that publication, writes an ar
ticle e ntitled ''Birds That Work for
the Farmer" in the course of which
he tells about the new federal law
which has been passed for the pro-
lection of birds that are of practical
help to agriculture. Following is an
extract from his article:
"In truth, the birds do more work
for the farmer, at lower wage, than
any other part of his livestock equip
ment, What it you'd mean to have
blrdless country was most pointed
ly suggested to me by the story that
q West Indian gentleman told me
about one of the islands of the Car
ibbean region, with which he was fa-
miliar. Many years ago, he said, the
mongoose, from the East Indies, was
introduced into this island by peo-
pie who believed it would rid the
place of snakes.
$50 the mongooses or mongeese, ac-
cordng to the plural you prefer, were
brought along. But the results proved
that it was sad mistake The mon
goose multiplied and throve; but he
proved to prefer birds eggs, as
diet, to reptiles. In time he well nigh
destroyed the islands entire bird pop
Glation. The reptiles and all manner
of insectivora multiplied at such a rate
that the island, one of the very rich
est III natural elements in all the
worll. has become a peculiarly I'M
desirable place of residence. It's de-
velopment has been retarded.
"Our new federal bird law looks to
saving this country from anything like
such a calamity"
