Colonel Clem's Commission. <
Col. John Ii. Clem, assistant quartermaster
general, the "Drummer Boy of I
Shiloh," was among the officers who
successfully passed Roosevelt's fifteenmile
test of horsemanship at the Presidio
last week. Col. Clem does not
owe his equestrian skill to West Point
instruction, of which so many officers
boast, and the reason why he Is not a (
West Pointer is worth relating. In the 1
early part of Grant's first term Clem 1
obtained an audience with the president.
1
"Mr. President," lie opened trie interview,
"I wish to ask you for an order 1
to admit me to West Point."
"Why do you not take the examinations?"
questioned Grant.
"I did, but I failed to pass." 1
"That was unfortunate. How did it 1
happen ?" 1
"Why. you see, I was in the war while ;
those other boys of mv age were in
school."
Clem was barely 18 then, and boyish
looking even for his years. He had
made his own way to the president,
and had no political sponsors to back
him.
"What!" exclaimed the president,
"you were in the war?"
"Yes, I was in the war four years,"
and Clem related his experiences.
Grant wrote something which he
handed to the young applicant, saying:
"Take tjiis to the secretary of war.
I guess it will tlx you all right."
Clem went back to the secretary of
war, who had before received him so
coldly as to discourage any one not endowed
with unusual grit, and delivered
his note. J
The secretary read it and asked:
? Vi.'r. lo *> ?
"UO you Know n I1UI iiiio .
"Xo," replied Clem. "I suppose it an
order to admit me to West Point."
"Well, it isn't: it's an order to commission
you second lieutenant in the
regular army."?San Francisco Call.
Called This Presence ok Mind.?
Presence of mind was being discussed
by a group of guests in the lobby of
the Baltimore hotel the other day, says
the San Francisco Call. Instances of
great llres. where women rushed back
for their canaries and forgot their diamonds,
were given and tales were told
of its cool display on battlefields and
on board foundering ships at sea. Then
the field extended to railroad wrecks.
That reminded Leo Reinstein, chief
clerk of the hotel, of a wreck he had
been in on the Southern Pacific about
three years ago.
"By the way. John," he said, turning
to one of the guests, "you were in
that wreck, too, with your wife, weren't
you? There were plenty of demonstrations
of presence of mind there."
"You bet there was," came the response.
"Presence of mind netted me
$5,000 damages."
Reinstein was amazed.
"But you weren't hurt," he said skeptically.
"Neither was your wife."
"I know it; that was where I showed
my presence of mind," said the
guest. "When I found neither of us
was hurt I kicked my wife in the face,
and the road paid the damages."
One Bad Boy.?An iron hoop bounced
through the rear railings of a suburban
lady's house recently and played
havoc with the kitchen window, says
the Philadelphia Record. The lady
waited, anger in her heart, and a
fighting light in her eye, for the appearance
of the hoop's owner. Presently
he came.
"Please, I've broken your window,
ma'am," he said, "and 'ere's father to
mend it."
And sure enough, he was followed by
a stolid-looking workman, who at once
started work, while the small boy took
his hoop and ran off.
"That'll be half a dollar, ma'am," announced
the glazier when the window
was whole once more.
"Half a dollar!" gasped the lady.
"But your little boy broke it. The little
fellow with the hoop, you know.
You're his father, arn't you?"
The stolid man shook his head.
"Don't know him from Adam," he
said. "He came around to my place
and told me his mother wanted her
window mended. You're his mother,
ain't you?"
And the lady shook her head also.
Virtue In* New Money.?A well
dressed young woman got on a Broadway
car going north at Twenty-third
street and handed the conductor a
shiny new half dollar, says the New
York Sun.
"Ain't you got a nickel or a dime?"
asked the conductor, but the young
woman only held out her hand for her
?-hanRe. Reluctantly he handed her a
Muarter and then he returned to the
rear platform, where he proceeded to
XJltf ill Hie lie\\ (join. nitnil I o<i i jsfied
and took out his knife to cut at it.
The young woman began to get embarrassed
and when the conductor entered
the car again she stopped him.
"If you are not satisfied." said she,
"take the fare out of this." and she
handed him a $."> bill.
Apparently much relieved the conductor
gave her the new half dollar
ind in change. A>. the next corner
the young woman got off. A block
up the street the conductor remembered
that she had not returned to him
the change he first gave her.
"You'd better get familiar with new
money." said a passenger.
A Tainted Nickki,.?The superintendent
of the Sunday school suggested
that the children make up a Christmas
basket for the poor and each child contribute
five cents, earning it himself or
herself.
When the class was gathered together
the children were called up before
the superintendent to tell how they had
earneo men* nicwei. w nen several 01
them had told, the superintendent asked.
with his most benevrlent smile,
"'Now, little Clara, tell us how you
earned your money."
In childish pride Clara announced:
"Why, I made my nickel by carrying
empty beer bottles down the cellar for
papa."?Philadelphia Ledger.
Samhi.ks ATTAcun-m.?Samuel Gompers,
while attending the convention of
the National Civic Federation in Chicago,
got into an argument with a
hanker.
At the end of one of the banker, as- !
sertions, Mr. Gompers retorted gavly: <
"Yes, it is possible to say a good 1
word for almost any state of things, 1
isn't it? I remember once in a very I
untidy ehophouse in Syracuse hearing i
a guest exclaim as he to.ik up a soiled i

NATURE AND ADVERTISING.
What Publicity Did For Mammotl
Cave a Half Century Ago.
What happens when advertising
stops is well shown in an article recently
printed in The Philistine, th<
monthly publication that made Elberl
Hubbard and his Roycroft printing shor
'anions. The writer takes up the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky as an example
>f what publicity does for even a wonler
of nature.
I'p to about 1*70 the cave was well
idvertised. As the Philistine remarks,
i visit to it was considered a sort of
finishing touch to one's education, and
u person who could not talk Intelll
gently about it had no standing in polite
society.
Records kept at the Mammoth Cave
( hotel from the time it was opened In
1X37 show that while the place was being
advertised in various ways the
number of visitors was many tlrros
what it is now, when the publicity promoter
knows it not. Tn 1844, for in1
stance, when the population was less
; than twenty millions, instead of the
* eighty-odd millions of today, those who
1 came to see the natural curiosity numt
bered on an average ninety-three a day.
. They traveled hundreds and thousands
. of miles?for many crossed the Atlani
tic to behold it. Sixty-one years later
1 o.ik?(ivorairp wan Ipss than a
t ?III li?'u?I..*- ?
. dozen a day.
r The public simply has been permit.
ted to forget that Kentucky's Mam.
moth Cave exists. The man who ownt
ed it died in 1869, and his thirteen heirs,
; scattered all over the country, simply
- devoted themselves to spending the in.
come that they derived from the two
i dollars a head admission fee. They
f thought the financial stream would
i keep on running without any expent
diture on their part for advertising.
1 They have been disappointed, of course.
i As soon as the advertising was aban
doned the people became indifferent
1 about the cave, and finally it figured
! no longer as one of the great show
r places of the world.
s In the language of the Philistine,
r caves are not necessary to human hap1
piness until some man by astute ad.
vertlsing fills men and women with a
> desire to see them, and when the adl
vertising ceases the desire ceases also.
Liberal advertising is essential to
success. The story of the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky is only one of thouj
sands that prove the truth of this.
e And do not forget, also, that when
^ there is a let-up in business the man
who advertises his wares more than
. his competitor is going to get the orders
and make money.?Paper Mill.

3 THE MEXICAN BORDER.
1 .
3 How Both Sides of the Line Are
Watched and Guarded.
e . If business or .recreation should take
that lone- line which forms
the boundary between the United
States and Mexico, you may by chance
meet a well mounted rider, armed with
' rifle and pistols, pacing observantly
along some bypath or canyon. He is
. one of the United States boundary ridg
ers appointed by the treasury departj
ment to patrol the border on the look(
out for smugglers, cattle runners and
g other persons whose presence on the
, American side is generally undesirable.
^ For this position the man selected
v must possess courage, judgment and
? no little physical endurance, for his
e
duties may call him forth at all hours
e and seasons, and he may be responslble
for a stretch of border land many
miles in length.
For example, between San Diego, on
/ the Pacific coast of California, and
^ Yuma, in Arizona, there is but one
boundary rider to patrol a line of over
150 miles, and this is in part over a
sparsely settled mountainous region
j and partly through the waste of the
Colorado desert.
r
, As opposite him. on the other side of
the line, the Mexican government maln.
tains from fifteen to twenty rurales
for the same work, it is a good illustration
of the trust reposed in a single
American citizen by his government. It
1 is probable there is no other man in the
1 United States whom It would be harder
to find at a given moment than the
s boundary rider of the San Diego-Yuma
e district.
* He may be down on the Colorado
desert, watching near some water holes
v for a venturesome band of cattle run''
ners, or in some canyon of the moun^
tains on the lookout for a wagon load
e of prohibited Immigrant Chinamen;
s but, wherever he is, one may be fairly
' sure it is not where the transgressor of
e the customs laws expect him to be.
r That he must possess both judgment
;* and courage the following Incident,
' which took place during the career of
the former boundary rider in this dis0
trict. will aptly illustrate:
For some time a band of cattle run
ners had been working successfully
' back and forth over the line in spite of
e the boundary rider's vigilance. They
seemed to he able to divine his move
ments, so that while he was watching
s a trail through the mountains they
were rushing a hunch of cattle over the
^ desert.
But at last he managed to surprise
e the band and i1fle in hand, drove two
' of them into Campo.
Then, however, arose the question as
to the method of taking them down to
j the coast. He hired a double seated
^ vehicle, the only one In the place.
But at once another question pre1
sented itself. How was he to seat his
0
prisoners, for either they must be
1 placed together on the front or the
back seat or separated, both seemingly
a hazardous choice?
He finally decided to separate them,
' and so, with one on the front seat with
fi
him and the other behind, he started
for the coast.
The two cattle runners managed to
' communicate with each other by signs
and at a rough part of the road made
the boundary rider, in turn, their priss
oner. Needless to say, they then made
the best, of their opportunity to escape
over the border, but as they fell into
the hands of the unsympathetic ruraies
r they would have been better off if they
? had submitted to the law of their own
t country.
s This brings one of the somewhat dif0
ferent methods pursued by the MexiI.
can government in guarding their side
y of the border. From a cursory inspects
tion of tlie line one might suppose that
e the Mexican side is not guarded at all.
r V'ou may cross the line ten times at'
e different places and never set eyes on
1 a rurale, but it is well known that you
i have done so nevertheless, and on the
j eleventh excursion you are likely to
find yourself surrounded by a picturi
"sque group, who will carry you off to
B jail if your explanation is not satisfacs
tory.
f As a rule, the ruraies patrol back
- and forth in detachments at a distance
of from ten to fifteen miles from the
actual border. Many a headlong: dash
for the American side has been made by
perfectly law abiding' citizens, with
i the rurales ;ft their heels, because they
have been heedless in obtaining a perr
mission to cross the border.
True, an American citizen may cross
- the border at will, as far as he himself
t is concerned, but as he is almost cer?
tain to carry some article liable to duty
it is upon that charge that lie may be
' arrested.?Michael White in Youth's
Companion.

Australia spend $ SO,000 a year in removing
weeds from their lines.
THE WORLD'S MATCHMAKING. g
d
The Demand to Be Supplied Is Three n
Million Lucifers a Minute. ^
The civilized nations of the world n
strike 3,000,000 matches every min- V
j<
ute of the twenty-four hours. Nearly t|
one-half of these are ignited in this e:
country. Americans use up the ennr- ^
mous total of 700,000.000,000 a year
and have a larger match bill than any ?
other nation In the world.
Hundreds of factories over the l1
country are engaged in this industry. j(
Some of the plants are very large, s<
one on the Pacific coast covering 240 n
acres, with 32 miles of railroad which
supplies the match machines with
200,000 feet of sugar pine and yellow
pine logs a day. w
A statement of the number of cu- ^
tic feet of wood which actually is con- v
verted into matches each year would e
convey only an Inadequate idea of "
the number of trees required for the e
industry. For the manufacture of the v
match the best giade of wood is nec- c
essary. Sapwood, knotty or crossgrained
timber will not do. This ^
makes it necessary to search the best ii
forests and pick out the choice trees
only, and nothing but the choice por- g
tions of the choice trees go to the b
match machines. It may be seen that tl
the lumberman sweeps over a wide c
area in search of suitable lumber to e
feed into the match machines. o
Seldom is the little splinter tipped n
with sulphur, or some other substance r
to be ignited by friction, given even tl
scant mention In the consideration of s
the depletion of the world's finest lj
forests, yet the manufacturers of e
these little fire sticks are as much b
concerned over the timber supply J

It might be supposed that because
