inE out. Each animal loaded up with 1 two big sacks of coffee. There didn't seem to he any hitch about getting tn" stuff out. but upon inquiry foun that 1t all belonged to the rival of the company that had complained.
 Tt did not take me long to locate the trouble. once I reached my destin- ation. and managed to unwind my stlffenede legs from that fool burro
 "The coffee that was coming out was being picked, packed and shipped by a regiment of insurrecto soldiers commanded by general and they were attending to their job like heros Say, but you ought to have seen the ed-headed Irishman in command of the next plantation though. man aged to get back aboard my strcd and rid" over to his place after spending half q day watching the glorious band of insurrectos saving their country by picking coffee And you'll see lat er that that Is not SO much of a joke either.
 "But the Irishman, The maddest white man I have eyer seen. There was, his coffee, some of it picked and not in sacks. and more of it not even pi, ked. and he didn't have blooming gI,ascr workman on the place except d one legged old fellow who cooked for him. Mad. Well l guess, and he didn't mind expressing himself either.
 Tt seems that the revolutionary general now engaged in the lauda hle task of shipping coffee from the next plantation had run off all the Irish mans niggers Conscriptrd them for his army. and while not a dean of his own stuff could be moved. the red own people get out his rivals crop Oh. he was mad all right. and he knew just how il had happened, too
 Some time before there had arriv ed at the headquarters of the insur recto general a certain smooth indi- vidual from New York. and he bore in his saddle bags certain letters from his principals Also there was slowed underneath the usual travellers outfit sundry bags of United states gold. Rut it was the letters as much as the prospect of pay that had induced the general to turn his army from the pursuit of glory and loot to the gen tier art of picking coffee.
 "Thc letters were written and sign ed by the brother of a man so high up in our government that would not dare to mention him even to you, and they guaranteed with the full au- tlority of the official mentioned that there would be no intervention by the United States as long as the interests of the officials big brother were fully protected, his coffee shipped and his mines worked.
 "Those revolutionary generals were not fools. They knew that as soon as the United States troops came into the country the profits in revoluting and any other footing would be cut about one hundred per cent. So when the New York man blew in with his letters they cut out the fighting long and get what ore there was out of the mines.
 "The Irishman had this pretty straight and the next day I had it confirmed by the general command ing the coffee brigade.

had happened to ask my frirn stuart of the secret service if he had ever done any work outside of the Tinted States. It seemed to me that playing the spy in foreign country must be rather interesting if not dan. gerous.
 "oh, Lord. yes" he replied didn't | over tell you about the case of the shipment of Mexican coffee that handled some time ago."
 answered that I had never heard of it.
 Well" said Stuart, "it seems that there was company up in in New York that operated a big coffee plan tation down In Mexico. and for years had been making good thing of il revolutions. The president in Mexico City was the nominal head of the republic, but there were q dozen or so other greasers scattered around the country all claiming to be the choice of the people" and therefore carrying on lone hand footing on their own account. Each with rag ged bunch of pcOns who would fight when full of mesqual and veil viva till they were black in the face any old time
 This sort of thing went on for months and our government let it go, for 1t was near time for presidential election here. and as long as our peo- pie were not pressing for intervention the safest game for the party in pow e to play was not to stir things up If the army was sent into Mexico to restore order there might be a we'll of protest that could be turned into campaign material by the opuosition. If the enemies uf the administration. or the other hand put up a kick be- cause we did not intervene, and the kick looked big enough to cause. em- p"EIdesiheIlt' why the army could 10 sfot across the border at any time. You see the party in power didn't care a hang for Mexico or the interest of ordinary American citizens. It's cue was to play for votes
 Well. as said, these coffee peo- pie up in New York had been getting their dividends so regular for years that 1t made them sore when all this ring around the rosey fighting in Mexico held up their shipments and cut off the dividends. But what hurt them the worst was that a rival com- pany with a plantation right next to theirs was getting it's product shipped through regular. and. taking advan- tage of the shortage in the market boosting prices up to the limit.
 Well the company that was held up put in a protest to the state depart ment and demanded protection
 "Of course the department could not see any reason for the Mexicans letting coffee be shipped from one plantation and holding up the product of the fields right alongside. So they sent me down on a quiet little inves- tigation before they answered the company's kick.
 'I had to ride about thirty miles over the mountains on one of those dinky little burros to get Into the val- ley where these plantations were To- cated, and rough ride it was, too On the way in I passed two or three caravans of the little jackasses com-

his reason and send him to an insane
asylum before he was sixty could
hardly be considered a good business
man. President Roberts, who arose
from the ranks of car wheel molder
to the presidency of the Pennsylvania
railroad and died from work and worry
at the age of fifty, was not good
business man. and so on.
Money Not the Only Thing.
The accumulation of money and the
founding of great industries are pre-
requisites only and by no means the
most important ones of the good busi-
ness man, for what protiteth nan
to make seven figure fortune-to put
in motion million spindles. to chain
continents together with cables. to
fash his voice over oceans and CONT
nents OIL waves of common air. to
make the oceans billowed bosom q
commercial highway. to transform the
oxcart into palace and set it on
wheels and hitch it to the lightning, to
build skyscraping structures of stone
and steel. to burrow in the earth for
coal and gold until his name is known
around the world and his fortune is q
power in the land-what boots it. l say,
to do all these things and glide blindly
into the ST ambIes of disease and fur
nish fashionable funeral at forty?
The unfortunate thing is that the
business man sits him down and
weaves about himself the mesh of a
prison. Every year puts in new bar.
every month new bolt and every day
new stroke that rivets around him
what he calls business until he feels
and really thinks he cannot escape.
A Good Business Man.
A good business man is he who can
direct the wheels Of industry, who can
draw a trial balance between his in
come and his expenses-in short, who
can cash in his experience and at the
same time measure his own ability on
the yardstick of endurance.
He is good business man who gives
as much study to the laws governing
his own body as he does to the organi.
Zation of his business. and in the final
windup l doubt if he would not con-
slider himself better business man
dat broke and in good health at ninety
than sojourning in sanitarium with .
million at his call, but out of the fight
1T fifty.
The routine life of the average bust.
ness man is about as follows:
He arises between and a. M,
takes no exercise or fresh air, but
partakes of breakfast composed
largely of acid fruits. cereal starches,
meat. eggs and coffee, then goes at
once to his business. sits at Il desk
until noon, takes ll:.cheon at neigh.
boring cafe, which is composed OF
meat. cereal or potato starch. beer or
coffee. and hurries back to business,
sits at bis desk five or six hours longer

An lJuIv Bird,

The pondicberry is not a pretty bird
to look at. but his manners are worse
than his looks. Even the natives Of
East India, which Is the home of the
pondicherry avoid the place where the
ugly creature builds it's nest The East
Indians sense Of smell is far from DEL
icate. but even 50 he draws the line on
the pondicherry.
Besides living in so uncleanly a way
that both man and birds keep him at a
distance. this Ill hammered bird has
hateful trick of kissing There's no
melody in bis throat at all, no one ever
heard him sing. but when he takes to
flight be makes noise similar to that
made by an angry snake.

it's own work. The total effectiveness

it's own work. The total effectiveness
ought to be very much increased.
Each bureau chief will be respon-
sible for his own bureau. Each d.
rector will be responsible for the bu-
reaus under him. And the governor
will be responsible for the whole aggre
cation. That is business organization.
Executive boards are to be abolish
ed. AS it is now-and that is how
governor appoints one or two men,
bers of a board, the rest holding over,
and that is the last he ever sees of
them. That is not business. They
come to the legislature every two
years for money and the legislature
makes a guess how much they ought
to have. That is not business. You
can't have business management
without centralized responsibility.
So the executive boards are to be
abolished. But that does not alto
gether take care of the situation.
Every we'll managed business as big
as this has committees to consult
with its officers. The legislature in
one sense is the states board of d.
rectors. But the legislature most Of
the time is not there. We need some
agency to keep the administration in
touch with public sentiment. The
non-executive board will do that.
Other matters are referred to these
boards. They decide questions af-
fecting public policy. affecting the
rights of individuals, like health
regulations. These regulations may
have all the force of law. We are not
going to leave it to any single off,
Ger to make laws. These regulations
are of a sort that no legislature is in
a position to make. The legislature
lays down the broad lines and the
boards work out the details.
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission is another body that makes
rules affecting the public, deciding
matters 30 involved that no legisla-
ture has the time to do It. And on
closer study it appears that there is
need for such a board associated with
every department. In at least two
cases a board is needed for a branch
of the department. Labor is one,
health is another.
For the most part the chart tells its
own story. Take the department of
public domain. To that will fall the
management of the states properties,
the conduct of construction work for
the state. Lands and mines, forests,
drainage, highway construction and
building all go naturally together.
The law will not be changed. Every.
thing the legislature has decided that
! the state shall do will still be done.

. TATE expenses have increased out
of all proportion in Minnesota

u of all proportion in Minnesota
~ and every other state. Taxes
are high-most people say too high.
So the Minnesota efficiency and
economy commission was called to-
gether last fall by Governor Eberhart,
an unofficial body of thirty citizens, to
look for the remedy.
The commission is ready now with
its answer. And that answer is to
organize the states business on busi-
ness lines.
OF course, taxes have increased.
What else could you expect with six.
ty or seventy independent govern
ments each going it's own gait? OF
course, the state does not always get
what it should for the money. How
can you expect good team play be-
tween different branches of the gov
ernment when they have to go out of
their way to accomplish it?
To keep down expenses there must
be intelligent appropriations. Yet no
legislature can pretend to deal intel
ligently with appropriations when each
branch of the government puts in its
demands without regard to any other.
Organize the government first on
business lines. In that way you get
team play. After that it is possible to
talk about budget system.
The accompanying chart shows how
the efficiency commission proposes
that the legislature shall organize the
government.
On the left hand side are the pres
ent independent governments, boards,
bureaus and commissions, leach
hanging by it's own string" On the
right hand side the same agencies are
shown organized as near as possible
in the same way that an intelligent
corporation would arrange its bust
ness. All the scattered functions are
to be tied together in groups. Each
group is composed of those that are
alike in the nature of their duties or
the field they occupy. A single direc-
tor is set over each group to see that
the bureau chiefs play good ball and
that they exercise good business
sense in their management. The bu.
reau chiefs, like the health officer, the
labor commissioner, the heads of the
institutions and so on, will supply the
expert knowledge of their depart
ments. They will be trained men who
will not necessarily be thrown out
when the administration goes. They
and the men under them will be pro.
tected by civil service regulations.
The separate departments as we
know them now will be every one
as effective as it ever was for doing

Historic StirIjnQ,


The history Of Stirling is practically
an epitome of Scottish history. For
Stirling took hand in nearly every
thing important which happened in
Scotland from the battle OF Stirling
bridge, 1.-The key to the Highlands" in
1897. to the time OF the young pre-
tender, who besieged Stirling castle in
1746. The castle in which many Scot
tish kings have lived and in which
none have died has probably seen more
sieges than any other building. For
this reason, as well as its strategic
Importance at the time, It is one of the
fortresses specially appointed by the
act Of union to be perpetually kept in
repair.

6lanQuet's Idea.

The cold winter Of 1910 gave the
comforting blanket to England and
afterward to the rest Of the world. Its
inventor. Thomas Banquet. was a
Flemish merchant, settled in Bristol.
who had fallen from aft1uence into
want He and his wife were suffering
from intense cold by reason of scanty
bedding and lack Of fuel. He searched
for something to put on the bed to in
crease the warmth and hit upon a
piece of rough. unfinished cloth that
had been thrown aside. Its success as
warmth giver suggested the manu-
facture of special bed covers Of the
same material, and these articles, to
which he gave his own name, won
him wealth and immortality.

VI. Agriculture

Whatever the legislature has for.
hidden it's servants to do that will be
observed. All the conditions and re-
strictions the legislature has thought
it wise to maintain will be continued.
The laws won't be changed, only the
administration will be tied together in
such way that competent business
man as director can get the best re-
suits from all the bureaus together
and he will have good idea all the
time what they are all doing. The
legislature will know where money is
most needed. Nobody knows that now.
This does not do everything the
commission would like to recommend.
The commission would probably say
that the auditor ought to do nothing
but audit accounts and criticise expen.
ditures. The commission would very
likely say that one authority ought to
handle all the states educational
work. But the constitution hinders.
So the auditor will still conduct
land sales. But the land commission
er will get the property in shape for
the sale, and the forestry .commfs-
sioner will get up the timber lists.
For the same reason the regents
will continue over the university. But
the regents and the board of educa-
tion will have to sit in one council
to discuss educational policies and
frame the educational budget.
The commission would have had
the governor appoint the director Of
finance, but the constitution says the
treasurer must be elected and the
commission leaves it at that.
The commission has tried to recon-
mend a plan that public opinion will
support and that can be adopted with
out waiting for constitutional changes.
This plan is all of piece. The
organization of the state government
into a single administration, the
merit system in the civil service and
the budget system in handling appro-
priations and expenditures, form one
comprehensive plan for putting the
states business on business basis. Il
must be adopted or rejected as a whole.
That is to say, this plan takes &C.
count Of every activity Of the state
and hooks it up one way or another
with the administration instead Of
leaving a lot of boards running at
large. It is possible to make other
combinations that would be as good.
perhaps to make better combinations.
When the plan is finally adOpted
various things may be shifted around.
But whatever form the plan takes It
| won't be a business organization uE-
less they are all included. The fofm
may vary; but no plan will answer
that is less comprehensive than this.
