2 * ACCUSES NAT101 OF 1 Senator Borah Declares dered and I Washington. April 15.?Senator" Borah, republican, attacking federal " pay for tho national guard, aroused the senate to-day with a charge that the $8,000,000 a year now appropri- t. ated by the government for the na- r tional guard was "shamefully wast- 11 ed" and some of it "embezzled." n "That's a pretty serious charge," ? sail Senator Pomerene, democrat, in- u terruptiiig. a "Well, 1 make it without any qnal- v ification," Senator Borah replied, and o he read f*om war department reports to show that most of the fund | had been utilized by officers of the national guard for themselves and t that eullsted men had practically no c benefit of it. 1 "If senators here will examine the . record of these appropriations,'' Sen- , ator Borah continued, "they will f hesitate about appropriating $50,- 1 AAA AAA V*a nntinnnl (ruard nu f vvv.vvv twi iuc uuiiuuiu to""1 a" 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.*' i In support of his charge Senator Borah cited war department figures showing that in a rifle match the Ohio rifle team, composed entirely a of officers, spent $13,892. < Senator Borah stood by his state- 1 ments in spite of a rush of nearly ( all senators who could get recognltlon to defend the militia of their f respective states. a Senators Pomerene and Reeil de- t clared that If there had been irregu- c laritles there were remedies at law. <1 Senator Lodge defended the regular 1 army and declared it was time to c stop easting aspersions upon It. "The regular army has fought and won all our battles and is fighting f for us in Mexico to-day," he said, a (3 Obiected ie Common Term. "Billingsgate is an accepted itrm for vituperative language. A speaker 1 In a political club wished to vary this expression in chiding an opponent. and criticized him for using "tlshmarket language. Thereupon another member rose and protested 1 against thi9 phrase. "I have been a tish dealer for thirty years." he said j,( "and have never heard any bad lan ea guage used In my business The fish in business is a respectable one, and ti should not be the subject of a slur " r< " p Everybody to His Taste. [( Different tastes demand different ( breeds; one fancier will favor the pet, another the Bporting strain. In select tng a dog. the buyer should insist on t< one with a pedigree. This guarantees ei that his breeding has been right; that his ancestors were bred right; that he <! has not been inbred, and that you have ^ a dog with a 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 op better dogs in your community. Was Not to Be Caught. My niece was left alone with the baby for the first time while my sister went to the store. Her mother had cautioned her not to open the door for anyone. She no sooner had gone when my father rang the bell. Elizabeth asked who was there and he said It wna grandpa and to open the door. Elizabeth started to the door and then, tnintting better or it, Bald, "U, no. I that's the way little Red Hiding Hood | was fooled."?Exchange. Primary Colors. The seven primary colors are violet, Indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. White is the combination of all of these, and black is the absence of all. Popularly speaking, white and black are colors like the others named above, but science regards white as the reflection of a;l the seven primary colors, and black as the absorption of all and reflection of none. Surely Doing His Best. "Why, Willie, what in the world are ( you doing in there?" usked the mother of a small boy as she opened the door | of the big refrigerator and discovered i him sitting Inside. "Well, you see, I've I got to speak a piece At school this ! I arternoon, explained Willie, "and papa nairt I'd get along all right If I kept cool."

Composers of Hymn Tunes. Frequent study has been made of ho writers of famous hymns, but less teed bus been given to the makers >f the tunes which have often been the neans of carrying the wordB into! tniversal use. A tune is easier to'/ vm 11 vj vat niuii ttuiuq ??v, anu vuua i singer may have recourse to u book tor words without heeding the score 'or tho melody. But after all. our as tociatlons with hymns are quite as tpt to be with the music as with the/ words; and tho writers of our best lymn tunes are ofton eminent composers. Among the obscurer composers ol lymn tunes that have lasted long the Christian Work mentions Isaac Baker Woodbury of Beverly, Mass., who began his career as a blacksmith's ap>rentlce. His interest in churchgoing jrcught him at last to an interest in nusic, and he even studied in Europe md was an associate of the bottoi mown musicians of the day. His Lune called "Slloam," sung to He oer's "By Cool Siloam s Shady Hill," ? known to most churchgoers. Men Who Wear Feathers. Among the strange tribes of men ibout whom little is known are the ^bamacocos of the region about the ipper Paraguay river. Although the Chamucocos wear but lttle clothing they excel in the art of naking personal adornments from the Gathers of birds. Their country ibounds with birds of the most beau iful plumage, including parrots, tou ana and trogons, whose feathers are lazzling in color, rheas. with gruy ilumes; musk ducks of a glossy black olor, egrets with feathers of pure vhite. and spoonbills of u delicate >ink hue All this wealth ot color ami graceul plumage is combined by the Chainlcocos in a most artistic manner. Ionic of these savages walk t;u-ir forist g'atPs in colors more brilliant if ess ample than any woman's dressaaker could produce. \OTICK OF FLECTION.

Many progressive! women declure their belief that every Japanese woman should be given a training of commercial value for which there is a market, and point to the fact that even a thorough knowl edge of English places a girl on a sop j arete plane, giving her a "weapon to j defend herself in her fight for Independence."

A French soldier with' a taste for; statistics has calculated the amount of soil that has been moved In the, c work of trench making. There are t r about five hundred miles of first-line trenches stretching from the North ' sea to Switzerland. And there are five or six lines of trenches upon each 6 i side. A total of ten lines or trenches 1 on the two sides would give a length 1 j of about five thousand miles, and this ' t ' has involved a task of excavating j s twice as great as that of the Panama f canal.
