Serving His Country.

A certain public office has been the object of much satire because of the passive nature, as rule, of the in cumbent's duties. In this connection the following extract from Moses Colt Tylers journal, written in Washington years ago, is interesting:
 President Grant never starts con versation, but when it is started he often says a neat thing. Last year there was an excursion down the Pc tomac. He was on board, with his cab inet and a quorum of both houses.
 "'Mr. President said Mrs. Judd. who sat near him, it would be pretty bad thing to have great accident hap pen to this party. Nearly the whole government would be destroyed.'
 "'Yes, Mrs. Judd assented the pres ident. but you observe that the vice president has very prudently stayed at home.'"

RUSSIANS DISAPPOINTED
 WITH RCMANIANS

NEW YORK: Dr. Philip Newton of New York, who holds the rank of General in the Russian army, coi- ferred upon him by the Czar for his services with the ambulance corps, returned recently on the American liner New York, after being twelve months on the Eastern front. He said the Rumanians had been a great dis appointment to the Russians because they had walked away instead of fac ing the enemy and doing their share of the fighting. Dr. Newton said the Rumanians have to knock of soldering every night at 7 o'clock to go fiddling at the cafes. They sold out their crops twice, once to En- gland and once to Austria, and the latter government got the major part of the grain. When the Rumanian army went into the field they had to be outfitted by the allies as they had nothing to sustain them in the cam paign. When the Russians rode 25 miles and captured four batteries of artillery the latter just walked away and let the enemy take charge.

NORTH RADIO
 IS LOCATED AT NORvIK

The farthest north radio station on American soil now open and doing business is operated under the aus pices of the Bureau of Education at Norvik on the Kobuk. This is the new native settlement established by the Bureau of Education on a na- tive reservation made for this pur- pose. Last summer a teacher who also understood radiography arrived from the outside and with him was shipped in a wireless outfit.
 Three days ago Nome was startled by the borean radio man sending down notification that his station was in working order and asking for the latest news. The wireless men had Overlooked the fact that this station had been erected and first thought that they were being strung by some smart alec with a transmitting appa- ratus. After a while however, they realized the fact in receiving a regu- lar message in due form from the ra- dio station.
 It is reported that the Bureau of Education has under consideration the erection of another wireless sta ton at Barrow whereby regular com munication through Norvik may be had with this point on the Arctic ocean and Nome on the outside. Any important news matter which might be we'll to make known from the North could then be transmitted from Barrow. The scheme will likely see realization some of these days, and radios will as common as a rancher's phone outside.

AifIman Killed in Paris

PARIS, Jan. 26.-Lieutenant Be. dora, a military aviator. is dead as a result of injuries received in an ac- cident on Thursday night, at the time the false alarm that a Zeppelin was approaching Paris was sounded.
 While adjusting his helmet the Lieutenant took one hand from the steering gear and his machine dip ped on one wing. He was about to land his fachine, and found that he was too close to the ground to re- cover his equilibrium, his alrplane crashed to earth. The machine gun operator who accompanied the Lieut. enant was injured badly.
