Figures That staooer.

A French soldier with taste for
statistics has calculated the amount
OF SOIL that has been moved In the
work OF trenchmaking. There are
about five hundred miles Of frst-line
trepches stretching from the North
sea to Switzerland. And there are
five or six lines of trenches upon each
side. A total OF ten lines or trenches
on the two sides would give q length
OF about five thousand miles, and this
mas involved task of excavating
twice as great as that Of the Panama
canal. And it has all been done by
hand labor with military shovels. and
much OF 1t has been done under fire
and by men who have to work while
lying on their chests.

EVERYBODY to His Taste.

Different tastes demand different
breeds; one fancier will favor the pet
another the sporting strain. In select.
ing dog, the buyer should insist on
one with pedigree. This guarantees
that his breeding has been right; that
his ancestors were bred right; that he
has not been inbred. and that you have
dog with good future. They may
cost more, but you have a dog that
you can place in competition at any
authorized kennel show and help build
mp better dogs in your community.

Washington, April 15.-Senator
Borah, republican, attacking federal
pay for the national guard, aroused
the senate to-day with a charge that
the SS,OOO,0O0 year now appropri-
ated by the government for the ma
tional guard was "shamefully vast
ed" and some of it "embezzled.
That's pretty serious charge, -
said Senator Pomerere, democrat, in
terrupting.
well, make it without any quail
ification," Senator Borah replied, and
he read from war department re-
ports to show that most Of the fund
had been utilized by officers OF the
national guard for themselves and
that enlisted men had practically no
benefit of it.
"If senators here will examine the
record of these appropriations" Sen
ator Borah continued, they will
hesitate about appropriating S50,-
100000 for the national guard as
it is now proposed to do. The way
the officers OF the national guard
have been utilizing the federal fund
for themselves to the exclusion of
enlisted men is perfectly shameful
and cannot be defended except for
political exigency.
"In this bill you are not preparing
for war. You are not giving the
people what they are expecting to
pay for. We are filling this bill up
from beginning to end with purely
political appropriations and you
couldn't proceed a step under the
guise OF national preparedness"
In support of his charge Senator
Borah cited war department figures
showing that in a rifle match the
Ohio rifle team, composed entirely
Of officers, spent S13,S92.
Senator Borah stood by his state
ments in spite Of a rush of nearly
all senators who could get recogni-
tion to defend the militia of their
respective states.
Senators Pomerene and Reed de-
clared that If there had been irregu-
larities there were remedies at law
Senator Lodge defended the regular
army and declared it was time to
stop casting aspersions upon 1t.
THE regular army has fought and
won all our battles and is fighting
for us in Mexico to-day" he said

Little Edward was n child TO be

attached to his father and mother,
A few days before he was taken sick
he told his mother that God would
wipe away all tears when We get
to Heaven. When we think OF one
so young talking of Jesus and Heav-

from our eyes, though the separa-
tion may be hard-and indeed it is
hard-we ought to rejoice to know
that Jesus has more need Of him
than any one on earth could have.

life on this earth that we older ones
may catch a new vision of Gods
love towards mankind: and though
little Edward is gone and we can
not bring him back we can prepare

OF these, and black is the absence of
