Joffre-A Frank Portrait.
Harrison Reeves In Everybody's Magazine.

military service law In the chamber of
deputies. He has written only q single
brOchurc-on the expedition to Timbuktu-
as literary baggage for his entry to the
academy. He does not write the brilliant
orders of the day. which are generally
attributed to him by the censor, and 1t
Is said that he never writes personal let
ters or reads newspapers.
AT work he Is systematic and keeps a
large clerical staff overworked. But he
Is a soft master as regards hours, insisting
that all his subordinates shall sleep as
long as they can stay abed, which he does
himself.
Mover Worried or Excited.
His admirers say that he is incapable OF
worry or of the slightest degree of excite
ment. He has never SHOWN any emotion
about anything and has never been known
to be interested in anything outside his
immediate job.
Joffre's manner of attacking the enemy
suggests that he has no fancy idea back
of the attack, but merely attacks to ac-
complish the purpose of war, which is to
defeat the enemy where you find him and
to impose your will on him., whether II
leads in any particular direction or not.
Above all. Joffre cares nothing for the
political direction of his strategy. SUI
preme credit must be given to him, in the
early part of the war, for his utter indif-
ference to the 'rescue" of Paris, which
the government and the people naturally
regarded as the cardinal point of the
campaign. Joffre let Paris take care of
herself as best she could, while he fought
his enemy squarely on the field till he
beat him.. He knew full we'll that If he
didn't beat him.. Paris would fall in three
days without any siege and the name of
Joffre would be anathema in o~ver-central-
lied France till that little geographical
point was relieved.
But if Joffre had permitted himself to
worry about Paris, as Won Kluck's whole
strategy overwhelmingly influenced him
to do, he might have saved Paris, but he
would have saved 1T only to lose all
France and then Paris, too.

and the rewards which would induce
him to follow the same life II he
had to go over it again. William II.
Leighton, the writer. says:
Once in a while, in every real mans life
mot so often as to let him get quite used
10 it-something happens to FIJI him with
honest gladness. I've known such times.
Once at my marriage; again when you
were born: yet again when 1 brought you
and mother to this farm and set about
making our own home. And now here's
another thrill of the same sort. My son
Is to be a farmer.
I'm genuinely glad, through and
through. i don't say this merely because
! believe farming to be Il good business.
The soundest of all arguments in favor
of farming as a life work goes far deeper
than the question of making a living and
growing rich out of surplus earnings. 1t
isn't a matter of poetic sentiment, either.
Its what YOU might call practical senti-
| ment-applied sentiment, rooted in reason
and sustained by experience.
If any man on earth today is entitled to
hold up his head and stick out his chest
It's the farmer who with his own hands
and on his own land has brought a good
crop through to the harvest. There's a
solid satisfaction in th~at-greater than
any man may guess WHO NdSn I Noue IL
himself. The satisfaction isn't In the re-
ward that's to come; it's in the actual
performance. To look out across an Octo-
Der cornfield in the shock and to say to
myself, eighty good bushels to the

and not the stolid feeling that comes when
the surplus grain is sold and the money
put In bank.
I've made good none out of deals at
odd times-trading in cattle and horses.
or taking a profit out of a piece of land
I've bought and sold, or something of
that sort-but the pleasure I've got from
those profits hasn't amounted to much.
I've never put any brains into my trad

cold, calculating, cleveFness. Those trades
of mine haven added one penny to the
worlds wealth. They've created nothing.
They've merely shifted dollars some 9TH

any better off, in any way, on account of
them.
The dollars I'm proud of are those I've
made by growing my crops There's nc

Child STARTS fire
BARN AND CONTENTS ON WEST
FIRST STREET DESTROYED
LATE YESTERDAY.

A fire, thought TO have been start
ed by a ~7-year-old boy who was
playing with matches, late yesterday
afternoon destroyed a barn and con
tents belonging to Ole Grandfather
Milwaukee railway section foreman,
West First street. The fire depart
ment responded to an alarm sent in
at about 6 o'clock. Owing TO a large
amount Of inflammable material ad-
jacent 10 and inside the barn, the
building was burned within a few
minutes. The loss is estimated at.be-
tween $3.50 and $500. and there was
no insurance.
1t is believed the child. whose
home is near the barn. dropped a
lighted match which he had found.
A blaze, started i'm straw strewn in
the yard, was communicated to a
a pile of hay, and then inside the
barn, which contained about a half a
ton of hay, a number Of storm doors
and a fur coat, which were lost.

bers of the %disbanded company o

BANKRUPTCY BUGAB0O
Finances Of State Of Missouri Are in
Good Shape and State institutions
Growing in Power and Scope.

There is much sounding of the loud
timbrel and beating Of the tom-toms
OF the part of Republican editors and
political speakers in regard to the
finances Of the state of Missouri. The
assertions that the state of Missouri
is bankrupt may be dismissed for
what it is worth. 1t was conceived
as a campaign bugaboo and amounts
to nothing more or less. The state Ct
Missouri, financially, is as strong as
the celebrated Rock Of Gibraltar.
There is never any doubt as to its
s~olvency under a Democratic admin
istration. The General Assembly
listened to the needs Of the various
state institutions, its schools, its road
interests and its eleemosynary ir.sti
t%utions, tried to meet all demands
and the result was over approprie
ton. II was necessary to apply
the veto power in order to make
the income square with the expenses.
This has been done from time to time
immemorial. The precedent for such
action runs far back into the past.
There is nothing new, startling or
%scandalous about II.
In the last biennial period Missouri
schools have been taken better care
Of than during any other similar pc
Rod in the history Of the state. This
has cost money, che taxpayers mon
ey. More has been done in the way
Of good roads, in pulling Missouri
out of the mud" than ever before.
The state institutions are growing in
power and in scope, their manage
ment requires better and later meth.
DDS and greater appropriations. Mis-
souri, has marched far more rapidly
along the Road to Progress during
the last two years than the great ma.
iority Of her sister states and all
this has been done without increas
ing the tax rate by so much as one
mill on the 500 valuation.

THE IRON
MAN OF AMERICA
PRESIDENT HAS PROVED TO BE
ONE OF STRONGEST FIGURES
IN THE UNITED STATES.
USES DIPLOMACY AND FORCE
His Administration Challenges the Re-
speetSof the Individual Voter, No
Matter What the Voters Po-
lltical Greed May Be.

No president Of the United States
since Abraham Lincoln has faced so
many dangerous and difficult situa-
lions as has President Wilson. En-
tering the presidency with a vital,
far-reaching constructive and Ameri-
can set Of policies to which be and
his party were pledged, he found the
work Of establishing the New Free
dom" IN America hindered and all
but stopped by the coming OF the
greatest armed struggle that has
shaken the world since the begin
ming Of history. He took the danger
GUS Mexican situation as an inheri-
lance from the spineless Taft admin
istration. While struggling against
forces both within and without the
United States to keep the nation neu-
trail, the Mexican situation has been
handled coolly and calmly using d.
plomacy where diplomacy would gain
our end and force where force and
nothing else was demanded.
His has been a wonderful admin
~istration In work accomplished The
tariff pledges made four years ago
at Baltimore have been met, but the
nation for the first time has an ade-
quate currency system In the Federal
Reserve banks that have made the
financiermade panics of other years
an lmpossibility. There has been a
reorganization of the Department Of
Agriculture that has made ii an eff
cient and ever-increasing aid to the
greatest American industry-farm-
ing. Under the leadership Of the
administration the country is prepar-
ing to defend herself against possible
aggression and invasion and while
looking forward toward military pre-
paredness, the greater preparedness
industrially and commercially is not
being overlooked.
President Wilson is n Of the
strong figures in the United States.
He challenges the respect Of the in
dividual voter no matter what that
voters political creed may be. There is
no man In the Republican party who
may be said to approach him in abil
ity and Americanism. The Repub
leans are strenuously e%ndeavoring
to draft a candidate and to ignore
the dozen "favorito SON. movement;
among men of little strength. The
Democrats are ready and are fortu
nate. Their leader is such by force
