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

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

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.

It has been announced that the
committee on finance, appointed several
days ago. has raised several hundred
dollars and that more moncv
has been pledged if it becomes necessary
to ask for it. The transportation
committee reports that every
automobile owner in the town is willing
to place his car at the disposal I
of the guests while they are here,
and as for entertainment, every hornin
York will have from two to six
.guests nring the three days of the
convention provided that many newspaper
men are here.

from the Carolina & Northwestern

ited time from here to the North)
Carolina town nnd return. The trip*
by automobile from York to the hls-|
torie battle field of KtngR Mountain
where a picnic luncheon will be I
served, is another splendid feature.{
Indications are that the town of York ,
will surpass herself in hospitality on (

Status of Japanese Women.
While women now t irin a large pro
portion of the wage earning popula
lion of Japan it is largely the result
of economic conditions rather than an
adoption of new theories an to worn- .
ana place liui in the present state of. m
affair* in Japan it 1* only economic I ~
independence that can save a woman j
from a dlstHHtefnl marriage, and often
even the avidity to earn a mere pittance
makes the greale*t difference in
a woman's life. 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."

"The Pure
Figures That Stagger.
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. And it has all been done by
hand labor with military shovels, and
much of it has been done under Are . 1
and by men who have to work while *
lying on their chests! i 1

by Rev. P. K. lllackmon, asIsted

of the little boy.
Little Edward was taken 111 with

Little Kdward was a child to he

ttaehed to his father and mother
k. few days before he was taken sick
