the insulation from a few inches of the emergency wire.
 The Adams instrument does not ling the bell of the receiving tele- phone, but instead causes 8 screech- ing sound from a small megaphone- shaped apparatus descriptively known as a ''howler.' This instru- ment is installed at the ranger station telephone and is said to give effec- tive notice that some one is on the wire. If the field man needs to talk with some one elsewhere on the line, the ranger station instrum ent can be used to ring up the person wanted, when the converse ton can be carried on.
 Forest officers say that those port able phones are especially valuable in reporting fires and other emer- sencies with the least possible delay, and also in sending instructions to field men and keeping the district rangers informed as to the progress of work going on in the field, thus supplementing the regular telephone sets installed at lookout points, ranger stations, and at convenient ln- tervals along Forest Service roads and trails.

The Game of Life.
This life Is but a game of cards,
 Which mortals have to learn; Each shuffles, cuts and deals the pack And each trump doth turn.

This life is but a game of cards, Which mortals have to learn; Each shuffles, cuts and deals the pack, And each trump doth turn Some bring a high card to the top, And others bring low, Some hold q hand quite flush of trumpG, While others none can show. Some shuffe with a practiced hand, And pack the cards with care And so they know that they dealt Where all the leaders are Thus fools are made the dupes of rogues, While rogues each other cheat, And he is very wise indeed
 Who never meets defeat. When playing, throw out the ace, The counting cards to save, Some play the deuce and some the ten But many play the knave. Some play for moneF-some for fun And some for worldly fame, But not until the games played out Can they count upon their gain. { When hearts are trumps we play for love- And pleasure rules the hour, No thoughts of sorrow check our joy In beautys rosy bower. We sing, we dance, sweet verses make Our cards at random play, And while one trump remains at top Our game s 8 hOllQay When diamonds chance to crown the top, The players stake their gold, And heavy sums are bet and won By gamblers young and old Intent on winning, each his game Doth watch with eager eye, How he may see his neighbours cards, And beat them the sly. When clubs are trumps, look out for war, On ocean and on land For bloody horrors always come When clubs are held in hand. Then lives are stakcd, instead of gold, The dogs of are freed In our dear country, and we sec That clubs have got the lead. Last game of all, is when the spade Is turned by hand of time, He always deals the closing game In every age and cline. No matter how much each man wins, Or how much each man saves The spade will finish up the game And dig the gamblers graves.

The Regulars,
(New York Press.)

(NeW Ork HrCSS.)
 These things down in Mexico, you must be told, are the story of the Regulars.
 The Regulars who never grow weary of following their captains never stop going behind their colors. The Regulars who march all through the night as no other soldiers march, and are fresh for fighting, work at sunrise.
 If the American people only knew how these Regulars do their work after wild Indians on the plains, after run-amuck Filipinos in the Far East, after outlaw Villas in Mexico!
 A Cootc a Miles, a Pershing on that hunt by day and by night does not need thousands of troops to meet the enemy. He uses regiments and suuadrons and platoOns to stop up the loopholes where the quarry might trv to slip through. The detach- ments for this purpose are flung far and wide, just as if ratholes were being closed until the fugitive. must go only one way because there are no others left open. Then will come his hour to turn and grapple. All the while there is a small fly ing column hot on the trail. It never stops. A Crook, when the su- preme moment comes, circles be- tween two twilights a hundred miles of Western plains around the foe and astounds him by appearing in I his front when he was supposed to l be in his rear. A Miles plunges his black cavalry through deep snow | drifts to Wounded Knee. And a Dodd ] sends his squadrons-no doubt ridic- uIously few in numbers-galloping at 1 the heels of Villas bandits until he 1 strikes his fangs into the outlaw l flank, never to let go.
 Villa cannot escape these Regulars 1 of ours-he was doomed when they 1 took up the pursuit-because in the I chase nobody ever escapes them. If 1 it shall not be over today, then it must be over tomorrow: if not in l the northern deserts of Mexico then 1 in the hill country further on or the l mountains tops beyond; for it shall be, That is the way with these Regu- lars of ours. But do you. the Amer 1 ican people. not forget that no others 1 do this work No others can. And 1 remember how few how pitltullN, l desperately few, in a great emer- gency they are-thanks to Congress!

a chance those who patronize such
 places day after day, week after week, the year around, will not agree With Senator Smoot when he calls atten- ton to the poor cooking in American homes. It is true that the Senator may know more about the cooking in these homes than the young men who proudly sit astride high revolving chairs before counters in dairy lunch rooms But he may not know this: no matter how poor the cooking in American homes it is home cooking ing, nonetheless, and that is what all The Senator is probably arguing for preparedness. He would want the
 American housewives help raise strap ping young men for the army by giv- conducive to fostering strength and happiness of heart. On the theory that the road to a mans heart is through his stomach, it is probably
 
 tire outfit is to improve kitchen condi- tions and have better food all around. The Senator minces no words in his faying of the cooking done in most homes. Here is how he makes the thrust: Tt issa crime and Is wicked in the sight of God, to have the pro-
 ducts of the farm made next to use less by poor cooking. Tens of thou less and ignorant housekeepers, and the American garbage can is the fat
 test in all the world"
 Homes ruined by bad cooking. have some reason for bringing such an accusation against American housewives. If he has facts and fig ! ures, he should produce them, other wise order an investigation by the fed l eral government. Yet the learned statesman from far-off Utah will en- counter great difficulty in making the average man believe that the cooking at home is not what it should be. If
 such a thing should happen, if men come at last to the conclusion that homes are being wrecked by incom- potent cooks, we suggest this simple expedient: Turn all the home-fed men loose for one or two weeks and make them eat in the quick-lunch rooms. When they go back home if they ever
 do, there would be no complaining against home cooking

HOME COOKING.

Iese are the ones who will grow en- Iusiastic over the eloquent plea the Inator makes for better conditions in Iat part of the American home that Ivotes itself to culinary pursuits.
 Not having the statistics at hand, it difficult to draw clear line of de- |arkation and say how many men eat
 home and how many dine in the |nch-rooms and restaurants of the rious cities in the nation. In rough Eures it may be supposed that ap- roximately one third of the men of ae country take their fling at the

RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.

Newspaper men the country over who had known and come in contact with Richard Harding Davis will de- p1ore the sudden death of this unique figure in their profession. Soldiers of fortune the world over will join in the sorrow that marks the ranks, for Davis stood as a combination soldier of fortune and newspa perman, al though he forever professed himself a reporter. That he was a reporter and of the first water can be attestcd by those managing editors under whom he worked and by a score of city editors from whom he took as- signments at various times In his later years Richard Harding Davis de- voted himself mainly to writing on the European war and because of the manner in which he took up the work, because of the intense partisan man ner in which he took up one cause, lost many of the friends of his earlier career. But this should be never held against the man, the one writer of generation who held high and clear from anything that smacked of the unscrupulous. Everything Davis ever wrote carried with it the charm and freshness of sincerity, the accuracy that must come from close contact with a subject, and the fervor of youth. Who, among those who have followed his writings, would ever dream that Dick Davis was on the shady side of fifty when he laid down his pen? Who among those who met him in club and professional life would know that this tall, straight athletic figure had braved the sun of fifty summers? No one! Richard Davis the boy. The writings were first and foremost designed for the boy. His power of description best suited itself to the boy. That he was l a boy with all the ardOr and devotion
 that goes with boyhood is shown from
 the fact that with all his wanderings
 and travels over the face of the globe, l Davis leaves behind him thirty books ! Of novels and short stories. His plays 1 of the stage have been well received. 1 His many experiences as reporter, l editor and war correspondent fur
 nished him with an r-abundance ] of material and he never lost a chance 1 to make it go. He was one of the few 
 men who could relate experiences of | a war correspondent as the term inn 1 plies. for Davis saw service in the days 1 when there was no such thing a | censor. His latest bit of duty in this
 sphere was done in the early stages
 of the present war, when he was sur
 rounded by all the obnoxious rules
 of modern warfare and not allowed to
 get as close to the battle line as his
 adventurous spirit would like. But with all that he gave to the world
 some wonderful descriptive matter
 stuff that will be made part and parcel 1 of the vast lot of literature on the
 great war. Richard Harding Davis
 will be missed inside and outside ot
 his profession.

CTURES VS. SKETCHES.

ast the reply of the German
 ment anent the sinking of the
 kl steamer Sussex has been re- 8 and it is a remarkable and very document. Just how it 3e received in Washington is not &iff1cult to surmise and already Ews despatches from that seat Xo show that the administration prone to get over-excited be- of the nissive nor to consider Nhe end of the situation.
