The Catholic press of the coun-
try has given wide publicity to a
report that the number of Catho-
lie .chaplains in the army will be
reduced from thirty-eight per
cent to twenty-three per cent.
This announcement is premature,
to say the least. We have every
confidence and even assurances
that in the organization of the
new army Catholic interests will
be carefully and fully attended to.

''Everbody's Doing IT, and Doing
Everybody.
[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.]

"Everybody's doing it," was the
cynical explanation given in this city
the other day by shoemaker in JUS
tifcation of his demand for $l2 for q
pair of shoes which he has hitherto
been selling at a considerable profit
for $3.50. He admitted that in
creased cost of material and labor"
had in his case nothing whatever to
do with the price he now asks.
"Everybody's doing It'll" That is a
phrase which the harassed consumer
would do well to ponder. IL is some
thing also which lawmakers and pro-
scouting officers would be wise to take
into consideration. Its frequent re.
petition in the world of retail trade
throws food of light up n the ex-
listing era of high p"r'- anl will in
evitably inspire the query. How
large "a proportion of the present high
prices is really justified by economic
conditions, and what is he proper
ton that has no niUre reason than
the uns crupulouS greed OF the mer-
chant who robs his Customers merely
because "everybody 5 doi, & it?"

The Kid Was Right.

A little boy was given the stunt by
his father to write an essay on edl-
tors, and here is the result: Il don't
know how newspapers come to be in
the world | don't think God does
for he hain't got nothing to say about
them and editors in the Bible. |
think the editor is one of the missing
links you read of, and stayed in the
bushes until after the food; and then
came out and wrote the thing up and
has been ever since. | never saw
dead one or heard Of one getting lick
ed. Our paper is a mighty good one;
but the editor goes without under
clothes all winter and don't wear any
socks. and paw amt paid his sub
scription since the paper started. |
ast paw if that was why the editor
had to suck the juice out of snowballs
in the winter and go to bed when he
had shirt washed in the summer
And then paw took me out in the
woodshed and lickt me awful hard.
If the editor makes a mistake folks
say he ought to be hung; but it a
doctor makes any mistakes he buries
them and people dassent say nothing
because doctors can read and write
Latin. When the editor makes a
mistake there is lawsuits and a big
fuss; but if doctor makes one there
is funeral, cut flowers and perfek
silence. A doctor can use a word
yard long without him or anybody
knowing what it means; but if the
editor uses one he has to spell it. 1t
the doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for the visit; but if
the editor goes he gets a charge OF
buckshot. When the doctor gets
drunk it's case of being overcome
by heat and if he dies its from heart
trouble; when an editor gets drunk
it's case of too much booze and if he
dies its the jim jams. Any college
can make doctor; an editor has to
be born. ."-Lonaconing Advocate.

Applying For Commissions.

Secretary Lane has approved the,
applications of 50 topographic engi-
nccrs in the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
for commissions in the Engineer Of
ficers' Reserve Corps of the Army.
This corps is established in conform
ity with the general plan, now being
rapidly worked out by the War De-
partment, to organize and have in
stantly available for active service in
time of need a large number of spec
tally qualified men. The topographic
surveys and maps made by the Ge-
illogical Survey are recognized as alb,
solute war necessities, and this Sur
vey is now carrying on special field
work in cooperation with the Engi-
ncer Corps of the Army to produce
military maps. The field engineers
of the Geological Survey are all men
of special training and wide expert
ence.
The total number of applications
for Army commissions thus far sub
mittcd amounts to SO percent of the
topographic field force of the Geolog-
ical Survey.

moonlight ones, for the fish can clearly
see the enemy, and, moreover, the
braZiers, which are intended to attract
the fish, are of no avail.
The fishing boat is very much like
the Venetian gondola, and carries four
fishermen, one of whom stands on the
bow using II cormorants, another In
the middle using four birds, and the
remaining two control the boat with
poles. Generally one cormorant
catches seven or eight ayu every time.
How the Fishing ls Done.
To begin with the fishermen take the
birds out one by one from the cage
and put round the neck small metal
ring, which presses part Of the gullet
so that any 1sh Except tiny ones)
swallowed rlay not reach the birds
stomach. Then they attach long
string to the bird, which they hold in
the hand During the fishing season
the birds are never fed In the daytime
SO az to enable them to pursue the fish
with furious activity owing to hunger,
which is appeased by tiniest fishes
swallowed upright, as the band is
loosely fastened. 1t requires, indeed,
great skill and dexterity on the part of
the fishermen to control the cords with.
out getting hopGlessly entangled. lie
must, moreover, encourage the birds
movements and anXiously watch them,
for when they have completely filled
their guliets they swim idly upon the
surface. 1t is almost incredible to
those who have not seen the operation
what activity the bird. displays under
water in quest of its prey, and in
shallow part of the river fish rarely
escapes the birds keen eyes and sud-
den turns, unless it takes refuge un-
der q stone or in the mud. The bird
then returns TO its keeper, and little
manipulation of its neck effects the
delivery of the booty. 1t may then be
let loose again to recommence its
thankless task.
Generally five or seven of the fish.
ing boats are at work in company,
making q line that usually extends
across the river. The fishermens
torches make the scene so bright that
one would think the river was on fire,
and it is. sometimes full of boats with
spectators, who come from the neigh
)oring districts to enjoy the picturesque
sight as we'll as the evening cool.

CHAPTER VI.
A Notice to Quit.

- " NhAAs
Once started and given its push, the
gray roadster drlfted backward from
the railroad crossing and kept on until
1t came to rest in the sag at the turn
in the road. Running to overtake 1t,
Smith found that the young woman
was still trying Intellectually to free
herself. In releasing the clutch her
dress had been caught, and Smith was
glad enough to let the extricatlng Of
the caught skirt and the %crankinS of
the engine serve for a breath-catching
recovery.
Whenthe stepped back to tune" the
spark the young had subsidized
into the mechanlclan's seat and was
relying her veil with fingers that were
not any too steady. She was small
but well-knlt her hair was a golden
brown and there was a good deal of
Ii; her eyes were set well apart, and
in the bright morning sunlight they
were a slaty gray-of the exact shade
Of the motor veil she was r%earranging.
Smith had a sudden conviction that he
had seen the wide-set eyes before also
the straight little nose and the half
boyish mouth aud chin, though where
he had cen them the conviction could
give nc present hint.
II sup-pup-suppose I ought to say
something appropriate" she was be-
ginning, half breathlessly, while Smith
stood at the fender and grlnned.
you don't have to say anything. It's
been a long time since I've had a
chance to make such a bully grand
stand play as this" And then (:
you're Colonel Baldwin's daughter,
aren't your"
She nodded, saying:
"HOw did you known
II know the car. And you have your
fathers eyes,"
She did not seem to take It amiss
that he was making her eyes e basis
for comparisons. She was her fathers
only son, as well as his only daughter,
and she divided her time pretty evenly
in trying to live up to both sets Of re-
quirementB.
"You have introduced me; wO-wOn't
you introduce y~ourselff" she said,
when a second crash OF the shifting
freight traln spent itself and gave her
az opening.

mobile, with the cut-Out open, was top
ping the slde-hlll grade, and Smith rec
ognlzed 1t at once. It was Colonel Dex-
ter Baldwin's roadster, and II held a
single Occupant-namely, the young
woman who was driving It.
Turning to look up the track, he saw
that the three loaded cars had been
set out, and the forward section Of the
train was now backing to make the
coupling with the standing half. he
hoped that the trainmen had seen the
automobile, and that they would not
attempt to make the coupling until
after the gray al had crossed behind
the cabOose. But In the same breath
he guessed, and guessed rightly, that
they were too far around the curve to
be able to see the w%agon-road APP
prOach.
Smith saw the young woman check
the speed for the abrupt turn at the
bottom Of the hill, saw the car take the
turn In q skidding slide, heard the re
newed roar Of the motor as the throttle
was opened for a run at the embank-
ment grade. Then the unexpected
dropped its bomb. There was a jan
Cling clash and the cars on the main
track were set In motion. The train
men had failed to make their coupling,
and the rear half of the train was surg
ing down upon the crossing.
Smiths shout, or the sight Of the on
coming train, one Of the two, or both,
put the finishing touch OH the young
wOman's nerve. There was still time
in which to clear the train, but at the
critical instant the young wOman APP
parently changed her mind and tried
to stop the big car short of the cross
ing. The effort was unsuccessful.
When the stop was made, the front
wheels Of the roadster were precisely
in the middle of the main track, and
the motor was killed.
BY this time Smith had thrown his
coat away and was racing the backing
train, with the ex-grade-laborer a poor
second a dozen yards to the rear. Hav-
ing ridden In the roadster, Smith knew
that 1t had no s~elf-starter. "Jump !"
he yelled. "Get out of the |" and
then his heart came into his mouth
when be saw that she was struggling
to- free herself and couldn't; that she
was entangled in some way behind the
lOw-hung tiller wheel.
Smith was running fairly abreast Of
the cabOose when he made this discov-
cry, and the hundred feet of clearance
had shrunk to fifty. In Imagination
he could already see the gray car over-
turned and crushed under the wheels
Of the train. In a flying squirt he
gained a few yards on the advancing
menace and hurled himself against
the front Of the stopped roadster. He
did not attempt to crank the motor.
There was time only for a mighty
heave and shove to send the car back
ing down the slope of the crossing
approach; for this and for the quick
spring aside to saw himself; and the
thing was done.

mining claim In the hills back Of the
dam, somewhere near the upper end
Of the reservoir lake-that-is-tO-be.
They're doing 1t so that they can get
out an injunction, or whatever you
call 1t, and then Wen have to buy them
off, as the others have been bought
of"
Smith was by this time entirely ia
miliar with the maps and profles and
other records of the ditch company's
lands and holdings.
"An the land within the limits Of the
flood level has been bought and paid
for-some of 1t more than once, hasn't
it," he asked.
"Oh, yes; but that doesn't make any
difference. These men will claim that
their location was made long ago, and
that they are just now getting ready
to work it. It's often done in the ease
Of mining claims"
"When is all this going to happen7"
he inquired.
ut is already happening" she broke
out ~impatiently. "Mr. Martin said
the three men left town a little after
daybreak and crossed on the Brewster
bridge to go up on the other side Of
the T~imanyOnl."
The young woman had taken her
place again behind the big tiller wheel
and Smith calmly motioned her out
Of 1t.
'Take the other seat and let me get
in here" he said; and when she had
changed over, he swung in behind the
wheel and put a foot on the clutch
pedal.
"what are you going to doP" she
asked.
I'm going to take you on up to the
camp, and then, If you1l lend me this
car, I'll go and do what you hoped to
persuade Williams to d0-run these
mining-claim jokers into the tall tim
ber."
'But you can'tl" she protested "you
can't do 1t alone! And, besides, they
are on the other side Of the river, and
you can't get anywhere with the car.
You'll have to go all the way back to
Brewster to get across the rlverl"
1t was just here that he stole an
other glance at the Very-much-alive
little face behind the motor veil; at
the firm, round chin aud the ~resolute
slaty-gray eyes.
II suppose 1 ought to take you to
the camp" he said. "But you may 20
along with me, If you want to-and
are not afraid"
She laughed in his face.

I'm Smith, he told her; adding;
'It's my real name"
Her laugh was an instant easing
Of tensions.
"oh, yes; you're Mr.. Williams as
sistant. I've heard colonel-da- my
father. speak Of you"
mo-" he denied in blunt honesty.
"Pm not Williams assistant; at least,
the pay roll doesn't say so. Up at the
camp they call me the Hobo"
The young woman had apparently
regalned whatever small fraction Of
self-possession the narrow escape had
shocked aside.

miserable train out Of the way2" she
exclaimed. 1--WE got to see Mr.. VIII
