CARNATIONS through France and he is
apt to stress the fact in picturesque
language that his time was too much

any for scenic beauties. AS a rule he
is not an enthusiastic advocate of
hiking as a pleasurable exercise.
He's had a snOOtfUl, and never again
if he can help it!
It's all in the point of view, how
ever, and personally I agree with
the eminent medical authority as to
the benefit Of daily walks. In fair
and sometimes in foul weather, for
the past seven or eight years I have
been in the habit of taking a daily
walk of from one to three miles, and
sometimes even more, and it has be-
come such an enjoyable usage that

when it will have to be discontinued.
But I hope to put that contingency off
some years yet. I certainly believe
that I have benefited physically
from these walks.
There are limits to a good thing
and also quite a difference between
exercise for pleasure and exertiOn un-
der necessity. One of my early ex
p~eriences was an adventure into the
world under the urge for a change
of scene. My objective was the
home of an uncle some 200 miles
away. Limited financial resources
prompted dependence upon personal
exertiOns for the trip and fair pro-
gress was made until the enthusiasm

to go ahead as to return, but the
miles did begin to stretch out SO
long!

boy, and the larger part of the rest
of the trip was made in box cares Of

ment of this land, and in 1884 he set
out to look it over and enter upon his
new duties. He found the country
north Of the Virginia line more de-
sirable, and finally located in Fay
cite county, Pennsylvania, where he
built himself a log house and also
had a store.
It was here he first met General
Washington, who was, he said, the
most inaccessible person he had ever
seen, and this remained Gallatin's
opinion of the Father of our COun-
try, after the former had seen most
of the rulers of Europe and their
ministers. The story of this meet
ing, as narrated by Gallatin, is given
in a paper for the New York HistOr-
ical Society, written by William
Beach Lawrence. Gallatin "had a
cOt-bed in the office of the surveyor
of the district when Washington, who
had lands in the neighbOrhOOd, and
was DESTROYS of affecting cOmmuni-
cation between the rivers, came
there.
MI. Gallatin's bed was given up to
him-Gallatin lying on the floor, i'm
mediately below the table at which
Washington was writing. Washing
ton was endeavOring to reduce to pa
per the calculations of the day. Gal
latin, hearing the statement, came at
once to the conclusion, and, after
waiting some time, he himself gave
the answer, which drew from Wash
ingtOn such a look as he never ex-
perienced before or since. On arriV-
ing at his conclusion, Washington
turned to Gallatin aid said, You are
right, young man."
John Austin Stevens, to whose hi,

which Washington is said to have

w YHEN the young SWiss-Albert
w Gallatin-left the confines of
W Puritan New England for New
York City, he found himself in a
more cOngenial atmosphere. He liked
the village, for New York was then
little more than that Tin 1889, and
he admired the villas and country
houses ear it; but was not favOrably
impressed with the manners of the
British who were still in occupancy
there. He said they were insolent.
And this they undoubtedly were to a
degree which Jared upon the finer
sensibilities of Gallatin, who was in
every sense of the word, an innate
gentleman.
From New York, Gallatin went to
Philadelphia and then to Richmond.
While in Virginia he became interest
ed in the lands south of the Ohio, as
a promising field for speculation,
and here he purchased a thousand
acres, which he bought for a hundred
pounds, in Virginia money. Here he
hoped to make his home, as he had
definitely decided to become a citizen
of America. Soon after this land
transaction, he became the partner OF
a French gentleman named Savary
de ValcOulOu, and together, they
bought warrants for 10000 acres OF
Virginia land between the Great and
Little KanaWha rivers.
Gallatin was to have the manage

but then, most of the thrills Of life
r gained through a spirit Of risk.
The almost universal distaste for
walking was possibly best expressed
by the old stage driver during one
winter days journey e the Saw
Tooth range, whose mighty peaks
form the boundary line between Mon
tana and Idaho. I was chilled and
asked him to let me out while I
warmed up by climbing the long hill

Stallion Kills EAGLES

Two large eagles that were en-
gagged in a fight on the Guptill ranch
neal Milestone were killed by a range
stallion, according to B. L. Griswold.
He brought one Of the eagles to Mel
the other having been sent
away for mounting. The eagle had a
Widespread of six feet 5 IL inches.
The two eagles were fighting on the
ground, evidently in a death strug-
gle, when the stallion, observing the
fight, left his herd and stamped both
of the birds to death.

than is now imagined, the Treaty Of
Client was the special work and the
peculiar triumph of Mr.. Gallatin."
His shrewdness and tact won the day,
where another man, differently en-
dOwed might have failed. Following
his successful and adrOit diplomacy
in bringing about the Treaty Of
Client, insuring peace between Eng
land and America, Mr.. Gallatin was
sent as minister to France, and later
to England.
While he was in France, on one
occasion, it is said, Louis the Eight
zenith had the opportunity to perpe-
trate a joke at Callatin's expense.
Someone having praised the latteB
for his command of the French Ian
guage, the King added, "but I think
my English is better than yours"
The mission to England, termin-
ated Gallatin's official life, but not
his intellectual activity. Retiring to
New York, he spent the last years Of
his life in pursuing his ~favOrite study
of ethnOlOgy, and promoting educa-
tion. In this manner, he usefuIly
rounded out his IS years, dying in
1849.
It is told of him that he was a re-
markable cOnversatiOnalist, and an
eloquent, persuasive speaker. Even
those of his associates who had been
his bitterest enemies, came at length
to recognize his good qualities, and

French Troops in

PARIS, Feb. 25.-The French army
in Morocco is likely to be in a pecul-
lar fix with the end of the rainy sea-
son which is drawing near They have
between 100000 and 100000 troops in
the Riff Experts say this force could
quickly wipe out Abd-el-Krim.
The tangled political situation here
complicates affairs tremendously. Be
tween the French and Krim's forces
lies an internationalized zone. The
French have been trying to get the
consent Of the Spanish for their army
to enter this zone. For over a year
they have failed. The Spanish pro-
pose that the French hold the line and
they will press the Riff chieftain from
their side until he is caught in the
trap. Their attempts so far have been
dismal failures.
The Spanish are afraid that if the
French enter the zone they will quick
ly overrun it and that the final re-
suit will be its coming under French
administration. Another angle is that
the British do not want the French

The party considers it even necessary
to stress the fact that the preliminary
condition for the solution of the tasks

Despite the increased terror, the
Mikhalakopoulos-Kondilis government
proved to be incapable like all pre-
ceding governments of coping with
the tasks facing it, and on July "a,
1925, it was overthrown by General
Pangalos, who established military
dictatorship existing to this day.
With the object of gaining the sup
port and confidence Of the masses,
Pangalos during the first days after
he seized power, released from prison
and returned from exile a consider

with the exception of the leaders and
important figures in the revolutionary
movement. However, Pangalos soon
followed in the footsteps of Zankov.

teenth Party congress that the Party

Of development which to a certain de-
gree represents a turning point.
The chief factors of this period are
the following: Partial stabilization of
capitalism, certain ebbing of the
revolutionary tide in the west, five
years of the New Economic Policy in
Soviet Russia, the approach to an al
most complete reestablishment of the
Soviet economy, side by side with an
undoubted growth of the specific grav-
ity of the socialist elements in the
Soviet economy is also the growth of
capitalist relations in town and coun-
try, the growing activity Of all class
es and strata of the population in the
Soviet Union upon the basis of the
development Of the economy.
In these circumstances it was the
task of the Party to control the cor.
