She doesn't see her husband with

few wives do. Perhaps she attributes
all sorts of virtues to him that he does

OF course, it doesn't do to spoil a

it is well to keep as much romance as
possible over the honeymoon, just to

everyday affairs of life.
1t really makes for happiness all

was a double row of telegraph wires.

Craig pushed his way through the

"Mr. French, you saw the man come

Quest drew OF his coat, turned 1t In

Experiments With the Human Race

Two very extreme views were presented before the National Conference Race Betterment at San Francisco last Saturday. Rev. C. r. Ballard hoped never ito the day when two persons in love with each other cannot marry" Luther Burbank declared "OnIy by selection of the best can any race ever be inproved.' What Mir. Bur bank what he meant may be two very diff f,rent things selection may be natural or 1t may be artificial. By artificial selection Mir Bur bank has attained many noted achieE ements from te development the potato which bears his name to thousands other plants which have been wholly transformed by him. By artificial selection the breeds of many of lower animals have been vastly improved We better horses better cat tle and better hogs. But is neither plant nor a lower animal His improvement has been effected y natural selection by sexual selection which IS a rart of natural selection. ard by his environment which he himself has steadily improved He IS result of the survival the fittest. He has been under the control of nature and will probably always remain
 Mr. Burbank almost certainly meant that the business of selection should put into the hands 60. men, that experts supposed experts should be permitted experiment with the human race as h. has been allowed experiment with plant life; that should be subjected to artificial selection
 Another opinion somewhat between those ot A-- Ballard and Mf Burbank delivered by Professor Irving Fisher of Yale, who thought that ,-rsons physically or mentally defective should

GOVERNMENT ID
 HE STATE MILITIA
Points of Weakness in the National Guard Which War Department Will At tempt to Remedy as Soon as Possible

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-A glance at the government reports as to the condition of the state militia reveals some startling points of weakness
 which the war department will en-
 deavor to strengthen at once.
 In more than a score of states
 there is no field artillery of any sort. This by all means is the
 branch of military service which
 must bear the brunt of modern bat
 tie lines. as shown in Europe In
 the whole country there are fewer
 than 40 officers of ordnance.
 In 35 states there are no organiza-
 tions trained for coast artillery; A
 have nc cavalry; a large majority
 are without signal troops; while the
 total force of organized engineers, officers and men. totals less than 300 for the entire country.
 One state, Nevada, is without
 militia organization of any kind.
 According to the reports of state adjutant generals on file here, there are nearly 170O00OO men available
 for call of the military age between
 IS and fl. Of this number, which
 is as great as the total of all the armies fighting in Europe, only 77 in every 10000 have received mili- tary training.
 The lack of field artillery is the
 most striking feature of the militia s condition. The states that have none are Arizona. Arkansas, Dela- ware, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Ken lucky, Maine. Maryland. Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota. Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Ten nessee, Vermont. Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
 The coast states of New Jersey Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, Florida Alabama, Miss issippi and Texas are without coast artillery organizations.
 Nearly half of the cavalry of the National Guard is in New York and PennsyIvania Among the states without cavalry are a majority of those in which horsemanship is sup posed to be most common, such as Wyoming, Kentucky Montana, Kan sas and New Mexico.
 The war department is now in in timate touch with the militia bodies, and now has on detail 133 of it's ablest officers who are giving all their time to inspection and instruc- tiOn.
