Says MotoriSt
Is Long-Sufering

The average American motorist is
a pretty patient and longsutfering
individual He pays from s. to $50
a year for the privilege of having
saved from $500 to $1,000 to purchase
an automobile, a vehicle that is now
looked upon almost as a necessity
in the pursuit of business as well as
pleasure.
What is the purpose of this tax?
Ostensibiy it is for road construc-
ton and maintenance, but as yet
the motorist is by no means the
only user of our state highways.
Light. horse drawn buggies, as well
as heavy trucks, are still used, and
why their owners should profit by
the use of excellent highways at the
expense of the motorist and should
not be called upon to expend one
penny for vehicle tax is a question
that no fair minded man can answer.

MILITARY VIGILANCE.
How Our War Department Keeps Tab
on All Army Officers.

How Our War Department Keeps Tab
on All Army Officers.
1t is doubtful whether any foreign
war Office follows with an accuracy
greater than that displayed by the
United States war department the
movements Of its officers. The follow
ing is an interesting case in point:
A young army officer who had seen
service In this country and in the east
was once with a small scouting party
In Arizona. After two weeks In the
desert his squad came to the railway
near q small station. Within ten min
utes a telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either Of them.
Then, with his squad, he set off again
across the desert.
It was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed 1t, but the
officers reply from the war department
was awaiting him. It had been tele-
graphed to every station within 200
miles.
A more striking instance OF accu-
racy occurred after the same officers
transfer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave and, as the regulations
require, had notified the department of
the day, hour and probable route OF
his journey. After he had been on TIE
train for eight hours at small sta
ton the conductor entered with tele-
gram, asking If any one Of his name
was on board. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness Of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts Of Sec
ond lieutenant even when he was trav-
cling on leave of Washington
Star.

Hard on the SaIesgirI.

A lady was shopping and incidentally
got into conversation with one Of the
salesgirls, boasting particularly about
the cleverness of her little daughter at
home "You ought to be proud Of her,"
said the girl, at the same time picking
up a picture book. Don't you want
to take this home as a present for
her?' "Thank you, WILL" said the
woman, taking the book and dropping
it into her shopping bag. "Tillie will
be so proud when I tell her you sent
it." To the girls dismay the shopper
marched away with the book, and the
girl had to pay for it.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Almost Made a Word.

Has bad handwriting ever managed
to add new word to the language
There have certainly been some mar
row escapes. A correspondent sent to
Sir James Murray for the New Ok
ford Dictionary the mysterious word
"brean," which he found in story by
r. L. Stevenson. It was presumed to
be an obscure Scottish term, and the
presumption lasted till Stevenson wrote
back that the word he had written
was ocean" Had the author been
dead "brean" would no doubt have fig
ured In the dictionary as sanctioned
by "R. L. S."-London Observer.

HIS SANITY TEST.
II Cured Morgan Robertson Of His
Morbid Obsession.


In the course of his psychic studies
Morgan Robertson, the well known
writer of sea stories, had acquired
belief that he would some day go in
sane. This preyed on his mind SO at
intervals that he would figure out
schemes to test himself and determine
if he really had lost his mind.
We finally induced him TO go to
Bellevue hospital, mainly for a rest.
With a cunning that was as amusing
as it was pathetic he took advantage
of it in a way least expected. He In
sisted on going alone.
Arriving there, he told the physician
in charge of his belief that he would
some day go insane. He would give
no particulars. and that explained why
none of us heard from him for two
weeks. They had placed him in the
psychopathic ward!
1t was a week before he knew that
they thought him an insane patient and
had him under observation. The eXpe-
rience thoroughly cured him of his
morbid belief-fad, it really was.
One afternoon, soon after his dis
charge from the hospital, Robertson
joined party of us in billiard room,
where one OF his friends had just won
the tournament cup.
"How goes it, Morgan? one of his
friends inquired.
Boys" he announced in that below
ing bass voice, "I'll never have to
write another line I'm no longer
slave to magazine editors. My books
are selling, and I have here"-he reach
ed into an inside pocket-"a certificate
showing that / am not insane" He
was deadly serious.
A few of the party, unfamiliar with
the eccentricities of Robertson. began
to edge away. To them it was I'M
canny.
"Still," one Of them suggested in
side whisper, "he's got something on
us at that. We've got no certificate" -
BoZeman Bulger in Metropolitan.
