Terminal Facilities Desired.

Theodore Rousseau, secretary 10 Mayor Mitchell of New York, says that when he was a small boy in Nashville the negro cook of the family devel- oped desire to travel. She pestered her husband to give her an outing until finally in desperation he bought tickets for a round trip to Lebanon, where there was to be a celebration of the colored popula tion one Sunday. But the train halt ed so often and lost so many min utes between stations that when it reached it's destination it was time to turn round and come back, which it accordingly did, without giving the passengers an opportunity to leave the cars.
 All during the return journey the Rousseau cook sat in gloomy silence, staring out of the window into the night. AS they rolled into the Nash vile station the husband mustered up courage to speak.
 "I hopes you's satisfied now?" he said.
 She turned on him in a fury.
 "Nigger," she shrieked, de next time I asks you to take somewheres don't you take me nowheres, Sat urday Evening Post.

Prohibition Leader From Many States Open Hostilities-Asham-
 ed of Past Record.

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-Prominent prohibition leaders from several states, including Dr. P. A. Baker, national superin tendent of the Anti Saloon league, and Dr. Howard H. Russell. founder of the National An ti-Saloon league, opened three days prohibition rally in Little Rock yesterday. The object of the rally is to bring pressure on the legisla- ture to mass a statewide prohibition hill The State Anti-Saloon league will meet in annual session today and will be addressed by all the visitors, including former Gov. Nal colmn Patterson of Tennessee.
 Gov. Patterson was the stellar at traction at the opening meeting yes terday. He spoke in the forenoon at the Second Baptist church and in the afternoon at the First Methodist church. Both meetings were attend ed by several thousand people. Gov. Hays introduced Gov. Patterson at the afternoon meeting. The gover- nor stated that he was in hearty ac- cord with the prohibition movement and would sign any prohibition meas ure that the legislature would pass.
 Gov. Patterson spoke for more than an hour( reciting at length his former position on the prohibition question and his motive in vetoing a statewide bill while he was gover- nor of Tennessee. He said he was ashamed of his official past record on the liquor question and proposed to spend the remainder of his life in attempting to undo the wrong he did humanity in that veto.
 Gov. Patterson was bitter in his denunciation of the liquor traffic, ac- cusing the saloon of the being the foundation of most of the crime com mitted in this country and the cause of sending more men to the insane asylums than all the other influences combined.
 The meeting unanimously adopted a resolution instructing the senators and representatives from Pulaski county in the legislature to vote for a statewide prohibition bill as soon as possible.

Or make the contrast of the two measures and let the people of the state vote at the next election and see which is passed.

keep that intact. So he kept his

Shluck would wear itself out as 1t

laughed at HIM. At the time OF the
Dreyfus scandal the country was
worked up to high pitch because
some rascal has sold Information to-
the Germans. Dreyfus was blamed.
Later he was apparently Wind
in the court Of popular opinion.
Yet the fact remained that some
one had sold the informat ton IT was;
a. fact which grieved Joffre bitterly.
He felt that If one piece OF informa-
ton was made public other pieces
would be sold and that would give
the Germans as1ead they were not
entitled to have.
Joffre became chief Of staff OF the,
French armies four years ago. He
had good army as armies go, but
he realized the French military ma
chine was inferior to the German
military machine. He set about to-
make-the army better and he went
into details just as be went into
details to pick a chauffeur.
After the mol ilization IN 1913
Jofrre retired five OF the French
generals because they were notaef-ss

man4was watching for at those three
races when Boi1let won the Grand
Prix. He was figuring on war with
Germany all those days and he was
not going to be caught without
chauffeur. He wanted the best chauf-
.sfeur in France and the best chauf-
feur in France was Boillet. Boillet
had won the most races and he also
was I. careful chauffeur That was
what Jofre had discovered while
waiting and watching on the side
lines during those day OF the races.
BOILLET KNOWS ROADS
OF HIS COUNTRY.
Not only is Boillet "a skillsul driv-
Ser and q fast one. but he knows the
roads Of France and he knows the
roads OF the German frontier. He
can tell almost every turn in the
road long before he gets to it, be-
cause he has been over the roads so
often in the days Of peace. sl
A man who knows the roads OF
France is necessary for the com
mander Of the armies. Boi1let often
has to take his chief over the roads
at night and in battle. Joffre has
been here and there, up and down
the entire battle line. While he
spends q great deal of time at his
headquarters keeping in touch with
his marshals by telephone, he spends
part OF his time on the road travel
ing out to see his s1ieutenants. and
holding private conversations with
them. # b Ell
There is where his chauffeur be-
comes the most valua bic man in the
world to him. OF the experiences
that Boillet has gotten into through
being chauffeur for the commander

When George Boi1let used to ride
In the automobile races atlthe Grand
Prix there was a quiet common
looking gray-haired man who sat in
the boxes along the track and watch
ed that daring machine racer. The
Great Boillet knew he was watched,
but he did not know there was any
one In particular watching. Hefwas
winning auto driver. He knew
how to use his machine to win races
and when the people cheered. and
admired Boillet smiled in his pleas
ant way and waved his hand in ap-
probation Of the applause.
If Boillet saw the quiet gray
haired man among the thousands Of
cheering ones. he did not think there
was anything unusual in the obs
servation. The quiet. gray-haired man
was simply one of the crowd OF adj
mirers as far as Boillet was CON
#cerned. Perhaps the gray-haired
man had a wager on Boillet. Per-
haps he was just interested. He
was a little more serious in his
gaze at the racer than the average
watcher on the side lines or in the
boxes, but that meant nothing to
Boil1et. Often men grew serious
when watching the races, so if the
quiet little gray man was serious
no one thought Of it.
Boillet had won the Grand Prix
three times and every time the gray
man was present to see him win.
But the gray man was present at
other races. too. SoTwere other men
present at all the races. There We're
thousands who would not miss see
ing the speed kings at theirwork so
the presence Of the gray man did
not cause comment no matter il his
presence there was going to give
Boillet the chance of his life later.
When war broke out in Europe
and nation after nation threw its
hat in the ring, France joined the
Athrong. Among the reserves was
Boillet. There were many great
auto racers who had to bear3arm in
the ranks as private soldiers and
there were many men of ability at
driving machines who were forced
to remain in Paris to drive automo-
57:::e ambu!ances. There were auto
drivers who were near the front
but Boillet hoped to get to the front.
Z He was sorry France was going to
war. but If she were going to- war
+ the venturesome Bcillet, who dared
death on the speedway.swanted to be
where there was the most to beseen.
Boillet had not long to wait. The
day mobilization was decided on
message camc to him to report at
Headquarters at s o'clock in the
morning. Boillet went to headquar-
ters and was admitted into the
presence Of quiet man. whose
hair was gray.
The man had a kindly voice and
he was soft spoken. He looked
Boillet over from head to- foot quiet
ly. but asked no questions.

So that is what the little gray
