WANTED SERVICES PAID FOR
Indian Had His Own Idea as to Rec
ompense That Should Be
Awarded Him.

A reservation Indian was disconso-
late over the breaking of his AK
handle He laid, his misfortune before
the farmer" of the reservation, who,
through pity, took new handle from
his private stock and adjusted it to the
ak. The farmer" then noticed that
the AK was shockingly dull, so, mo-
tioning the owner to turn the grind
stone, he expended half-hours time
in sharpening the blade. When the
rehabilitated ak was given to the In
dian he was childishly gleeful, but still
fingered about, indicating by his &C
ton that some feature of the trans
action had not been adjusted. The
farmer was a little annoyed, and
called to an interpreter.
ASK the old fellow what he wants
now" he directed.
After an exchange of grunts and
gestures the interpreter announced,
He wants twenty-five cents"
twenty-five cents! What for?"
For turning the grindstone."

VALUABLE ARM OF SERVICE
Marines Can Point to. Record of Great
Distinction in the History OF
the Country.

Instead OF telling it TO the ma
rines,' according to the popular say
ing, the government Is now telling 1t
to the people who know all about the
army and the navy, but comparatively
little about the marines. Yet marines
served under John Paul Jones, they
raised the flag over Tripoli, helped
capture the city of Mexico, entered
and fortified Chapultepec, were fore
most in our troubles in the far east
and at Guantanamo. To tell the peo-
pie all this and also what the marine
is, the government has now an adyer-
Using bureau, which sends informa-
ton directly and which in six months
has been so successful that the old
way of paid advertising has been dis
carded. The corps numbers $40 OIL
GERS and 10000 men, and there is not
a vacancy. Attention of boys, city
and country, is brought directly to the
corps by photographs from life at re-
cruiting stations, and literature that
is live and readable. On enlistment,
recruits are first drilled as infantry
soldiers, then field artillerymen, and
members of machine gun companies.
For landing service and defenders OF
the naval advance they are taught the
use OF portable searchlights, wireless
telegraph. They find ranges, place sub
marine telegraph lines, handle torpe-
does, build and destroy bridges, mount
ships guns and SO on. All of which 1t
is apparent is a range of duties far
wider than that of any other arm or
the service. In short, the marine corps
is for the first time perhaps becoming
really known, and the knowledge
shows what high place it occupies.

their end OF the game as batter and
catcher Here is how IL is done:
In the abdomen of the catcher dunn
my is a plate which when hit by the
baseball thrown by the player who is
practicing closes an electric circuit
and causes a bell or buzZer TO ring.
The catcher's arms and hands are
mounted to move in and out on hori-
zontal plane. The batter, on the other
hand, moves his bat up and down.
To practice with this machine you
take a position about sixty feet from
the dummy batter and throw at his
bat, which extends over the home
plate; if the bat is hit, you can jot
down one on the score card. Or. land
the ball in the abdomen of the catcher,
hit the registering plate and ring the
electric bell, and a strike is credited
you. If the ball hits the batter or
catcher elsewhere than intended, a
foul is counted.
The inventor insists that the dunn
mics are not unlike natural persons in
performing their functions. although
some players might not approve OF
the mode of catching" the ball de-

tary Wharton, "the hygienic and

most of the inmates are being steadily
employed in cleaning and painting,
which keeps the Jail neat and clean.
Under the humane and careful
supervision of the present warden,
Mr.. Caldwell, this Jail has become one
of the best conducted in the State. 1t
is to be regretted that the Dauphin

outskirts, where the prisoners could
have the advantage of out-of door
