WHISTLER AT WEST POINT.
He Loved Truth and Took Punishment
Rather Than Lie.


At West Point was old Joe, the ne
gro cadet hair cutter He was never
known to smile or to deyiate from
regulations" Once a month cadets
were obliged to have their hair cut by
him. This was a great worry TO Wits
tier, who disliked to part with his pref
ty locks. so he would try by cajolery
and fattery to have Joe let up little
on the length of his hair. But in this
he was never successful Joe would
stop his shears In the midst of re
monstrance and say, Mr.. Whistler, do
you want me to cut your hair accord
ing to regulations or nOtY" OF course
this put an end to the argument, aud
Whistler would come back to our
rooms, look in the glass and swear
about Joe.
He loved frankness, truth and honor.
Cards were forbidden In cadet bar
racks, but we had a pack, and one
night long after taps" 40 O'clock we
had been playing, and the cards lay
carelessly aside, when we were sur
prised by the entrance Of the inspect
ing officer, who spied the cards. We
knew that the offense was n serious
one against discipline and considered
whether we could properly ask that the
report should read Cards in posses
sion," lesser offense. instead of
playing cards" as We were not play
ing when the inspector saw us. Whis-
tier said. NO we had been playing"
so we faced the music and as punish
ment lost our cadet furloughs for a
summer-H. NJ. LaZelle In Century.

MAN PAST SIXTY.

The well-known so-called Osler
proposition that men past sixty years
of age are mostly fit only for the slid
ina board, got another hard jolt from
the facts quoted by one of the Sun
day Pittsburgh Dispatches special war
writer's, who says General Joffre did
not get his French army into real
fighting trim until he fired 100 gem
erals OF different varieties, many of
them comparatively young, and that
he even called back for positions Of
the very highest order a number Of
generals who had already gone on
the retired list because of reaching the
age limit Moreover, these old fell
lows all made good, and one, General
Manoury, who had been two years in
private life when the war began.
proved himself a potential contributor
in winning the battle of the Marne
Doctor Osler has declared that a
false construction was given to his
statement as to the dead-line of man g
usefulness, but the misunderstanding
persists, nevertheless, as is often
manifest in many ways in CONNER
cial and professional life, to the dis
credit mentally and physically of men
in the very prime of their qualiflca-
lions. Amy and all information cal
culated to dispel this false and cruel
impression should be sedulously dis
seminated.

How cormorant dives for sea trout

had the cormorant under observation
only for the space of four or five min

had captured four sea trout, all of con
siderable size. After being under wa
ter for few seconds the bird would
reappear with sea trout wriggling in
its bin. But In spite of the victim !
desperate efforts to escape it was delft
iy swallowed. and after few gulps
the cormorant would resume its fish
ing operations. One of the sea trout
gave it considerable trouble, however.
for the fish struggled violently for
some moments, but was deftly placed
so that its head pointed down It's cap
tors throat, and thus its own strug-
giles assisted the bird 10 swallow it."

fore the Department at Washington
takes this means of being sure that
the clerks, or those in charge of the
naturalization bureau, have a correct
list.
Following is a list of the names as
received by Mr.. Martin this morning:
Abyssinia; Lii Eyassu, King of
Kings of Ethiopia.

of Austria and Apostolic King of Hun
gary.

gians.

ROAD
UILDING
GREAT BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Three.Hour Trip to Town Cut Down to
Thirty Minutes by Advent of
Gasoline Motor Car.
(By L. ]. OLLIER.)

NBy Il. J. OLLIlhIt.J
The prosperity Of a state depends
largely upon good roads. They mean
cheaper transportation, better living
conditions, and happier homes. Quick
communication ranks as the great fac
tor in the universal dissemination of
knowledge. Where good roads abound
sectionalism cannot exist.
The desire for good roads leading to
city that those with automobiles
could have a greater pleasurable tour
ing radius first brought the matter
prominently to the fore as a good
roads movement with automobile back
ing.
Gradually the farmer, antagonistic
at first, began to take an interest.
With good roads and an automobile
he could cut down the three hour trip
to town to perhaps thirty minutes.
Good roads brought the doctor
quickly-at a time when minutes were
precious. Good roads and an automo-
evening, something unheard OF before,
or to visit a friend or relative in a
distant part of the county. When
farmers learned that other farmers
were doing these things, that good
roads and automobiles made them pos
sible, then they, too, desired good
roads for their own county.
BY means of the telephone and
quick motor truck delivery the farmer
is now able to top the market. He
can rush his produce to market at the
right moment to command the best
price. But he could not do 1t were his
roads not we'll built and in good re-
pair. Consequently the farmer Is now
most active in the agitation for good
roads and jealous of any legislative
power delegated to irresponsible au.
thorities.
While in time every road should be
a good road. yet all the work cannot
be done at once. Therefore the au-
thorities who are building roads
should see that each one is linked to
another to make continuous highways.
The advantage of this lies in the fact
that the main arteries OF travel will
then first receive the attention Of the
good roads builders. 1t will also IA
cilitate touring, in itself a valuable
asset for any community.
1t is interesting to note that in 1913
Ohio had the largest mileage of i'm
proved roads Of any state in the Union
with 1882 miles. Indiana was sec
ond and New York third Illinois was
seventh with 5000 miles. While New
York can claim the greatest progress
in road building from 1909 to 1918,
having built nearly 10000 miles In
that time, feel that the work Cali
fornia is now doing probably puts that
