Mistreated Father Thought He Saw
How the Situation Might Have
Been Different.

They were travelling peacefully
home in their numbering market cart,
when from the shadowy hedge there
leapt two unkempt forms. No time
was wasted in useless talking. IN a
businesslike manner they rifled the
pockets of Farmer Jones and his
daughter. turned them out OF the cart,
and drove off in it themselves.
Dear, oh, dear!" walled the poor
old man, here's a nice to-day! Horse
and cart and money all gone!"
Not the money, father" broke in
the daughter. Il had the purse in my
mouth"
IN your mouth. lass?" replied the
old man, feebly. Good for you! But

then we might have saved the horse

automobile.
While passing thru that place they
met a party of New York tourists on

gave birth to twins. Milk for the ar
rivals was secured from a Jersey COW
and the mother was afraid to change
the twins diet when they left.
So father purchased the COW and
bought 1t a trailer in which to ride. The
trailer was fastened to the rear of the
automobile, the COW was tied in. and
it is now on its way to New York,
furnishing the twins milk as it trav-
els and winning the distinction Of be-
ing the first COW that has toured in

I Secretary Baker SO declared the ad-

number Of letters from many parts OF
the country complaining that the state
troops were being held in service after
the emergency for which they were
called out apparently had passed.
In general the compla inants, whose
names were withheld, alleged that bor-
der service was entailing loss finan-
cially on militiamen and hardship on
their families. The secretary replied
to all those seeming to merit attention.
BY it's presence on the border, he
wrote to one, the guard is winning
bloodless victories daily"
The department appreciates, Mr.. Ba-
ker said in another letter. the fact that
a call for military service upon militia
organizations must Inevitably present
cases of hardship" He added:

quired this call for the militia was one

and given a higher degree of safety
and security to the lives of our people

have had for a long time''
Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are re-

army officers. the secretary expressed
the opinion that it would At them to

one of increasing hopefulness"
In another letter he called attention
to steps taken to relieve guardsmen
where there Is unusual hardship re-

service. He explained the National
