“FEMALE RELATIVES.”
Naval officers on duty at Washington
tne ladies of their households are
a bit worked up over the phrase-
of the order relative to Secretary
New Year’s reception. The
that have made the stir are these:
“The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs.
will be at home at Single Oak
■from 2 to 7 p. m. on New Year's Day.
and other female relatives of call-
will be cordially welcomed.”
H Just who determined the wording of

■'lnNew York City a few months ago
Ba bogus priest named Hans Schmidt killed
[a trusting girl cut her body into nine
[pieces and would have escaped detection
■but for one of the most admirable pieces
[of detective work in the history of the
[metropolis. He has admitted the crime
[and claimed justification in some com-
[rnand that he says he received from a
[patron saint thus furnishing a ground-
[work for a plea of insanity. It is proven
[however that he was sufficiently sane to
[impose on the ecclesiastical authorities
[and perform the duties of a priest satis-
■factorily that he was a counterfeiter of
■ability and a thief whose crimes were long
■undetected. Who reading the evidence
[will doubt that he had the mental power
■to distinguish right from wrong—that he
knew when he murdered his victim that
his act was one outside the pale of the
law?
A jury sitting wisely and long on the
Schmidt case has disagreed as to whether
or not he is guilty in the face of all this evi-
dence. Two or three out of the twelve men
were for finding him “not guilty by rea-
son of insanity"—the Thaw verdict—and
they forced the court to discharge the
I jury and the state to go to the expense
' and pains of preparing for another trial.
The indications are that Hans Schmidt
will join the little coterie of murders at
Matteawan and perhaps if he or his
friends can command money enough he
may yet escape to Canada or New Hamp-
shire and with legal technicalities and
cheese-paring lawyers and judges to help
him finally escape all punishment for one
of the most revolting crimes of the year.
New York is not to be congratulated
on the way she metes out justice to mur-
derers. It is very rarely that a slayer
counts the cost of his deed or expects to
be caught and most homicides take place
wherever they happen to. If this were
not so New York City might be recom-
mended to would-be killers with enough
money for a good legal defense as a haven
of refuge. For murders in which one
form of defense can be shown Texas of-
fers some unusual inducements but she
must yield to New York as her superior
in homicide-encouraging. Death as pun-
ishment for almost any kind of a killing
can be avoided there if the prisoner can
but afford to hire able enough lawyers
and a little bunch of hair-splitting alien-
ists.
DOING THEIR BEST.
“I had roast goose for dinner on Thanks-
giving Day” writes a local weather
prophet of Georgia “and from observa-
tion of the condition of the bones I can
say that it is going to be a long and a
hard winter.”
Not so hard as it would have been if
the prophet could not have had roast
goose. Not so long as it would have
seemed if there were no Thanksgiving
dinner. Not so dull as would be the case
if there were no weather prophets ama-
teur and otherwise.
From time immemorial we have de-
lighted in the weather prophecies of those
who admitted that they knew. Predict-
ing weather was one of the principal
stunts of the ancient oracles and they
developed an ability for saying things in
such a manner that however it came out
they could point with pride to their re-
marks that has never been improved on
to this day. In fact there is evidence of
a distinct relationship between certain fa-
mous declarations at Delphos and a mod-
ern “fair or cloudy with possible snow
rain or showers" prediction of the United
States weather bureau.
Why laugh at our Georgian and his
goose-bones? Is it not possible that Na-
ture provides even the unerudite goose
with some special provision against a
long hard winter? Rabbits have thicker
fur and little birds longer feathers—at
least so people say—when the season is
going to be unusually severe and every-
body knows that on such occasions the
squirrel lays by an unusually large sup-
ply of nuts. And anyway the number
of prophets who will predict a hard win-
ter in any given year is just about equal
to the number that predicts the opposite
so that half of them are true diviners all
the time—a very fair average.
Weather prophecies please the makers
of them and very seldom hurt anyone
else. If we follow the rule of preparing
for the worst we can't be seriously mis-
led. It is to be remembered that the
prophets whether professional or ama-
teur are trying to make good; only by
hitting it right moderately often can they
get a reputation. Cultivate toward them
then the spirit advocated by the sign in
the Western dance hall:
“Don't shoot the pianist. He's doing
his darndest!”
MILITIA AND THE DICK LAW.
If the differences between the National
Guard Association and the war depart-
ment are not settled military men may
be forced to accept the result as a sub-
stantiation of the frequently made and as
frequently denied charge that the mili-
tary spirit in this country is declining.
Indications are that no adjustment of the
difficulty can come without a concession
on the part of the militia for the war de-
partment holding the big end of the
whip appears to be immovable from the
position that it has taken in the matter
of organization. Consequently the case
is in the nature of a test of the militia’s
patriotism.
Compliance with the order of the war
department that the militia conform to
the organization standards of the regular
army would probably not be so difficult
as the militia officers appear to believe—-
that is it would not be so difficult from
the standpoint of the militia as a whole.
The greatest hardship would fall upon in-
dividual officers who would lose their
rank—and this would constitute the su-
preme test of patriotism. As announced
by the Associated Press in Monday’s dis-
patches it was recently discovered—and
the tardiness of the discovery reveals a
weakness in the system—that there is a
large surplus of high officers in the mIH-
. io quote a wms item “that major
generals are commanding mere brigades
and that brigadier generals are in charge
of regiments.” Of course these officers
could retain their rank by recruiting their
commands up to the required strength
but that they would be able to fill in the
gaps within a reasonably short time is
doubtful.
The present difficulty arises out of past
neglect. It was in l‘)08 that the Dick
militia act making substantially the same
requirements as are now demanded by the
war department went into effect. The
militia of all states were given five years
within which to comply with the require-
ments. Apparently the law was not taken
seriously; excuse may be found in the pe-
culiar!}’ American custom of non-enforce-
ment of laws. Now the allotted five-year
period has expired and with some excep-
tions the militia has not improved its ef-
ficiency to any great extent. This failure
has not been the fault of the militia itself
in perhaps the majority of cases but the
fact remains that an efficient organization
has not been built up.
The Dick act supported by the war de-
partment stipulates that the militia shall
be organized into brigades and divisions
each brigade to be commanded by a briga-
dier general and each division by a major
general. Without regard for personal am-
bitions this organization should not be
difficult; the charge of the militia that it
is “physically impossible to secure these
organizations in the United States army”
is not altogether relevant for the recent
reorganization of the regular forces into
departments instead of divisions was for
the purpose of concentration and was not
an admission of any impossibility in main-
taining the old organization. If there are
more “high officers” than positions and
if it is impossible to “fill in the gaps” so
that demotions will be unnecessary it
would appear that the only step necessary
to comply with the order would be to
merge a sufficient number of companies
in any state to make a brigade and a suf-
ficient number of brigades to make a di-
vision. The problem seems to be merely
one of normal organization which should
not puzzle militia officers who are more
patriotic than ambitious.
However if the militia officers finally
refuse to comply with the order on the
ground that they will lose their rank
officers of the regular army who enjoy
being emulated should not be surprised.
For the regular army has set the militia a
poor example. In time of peace personal
ambition often outruns itself. May the
militia not be lacking in corps d’esprit.
Some One Has Blundered.
It Is a pity that news of the occurrences at
Presidio should go out to the world. One of
the glorious traditions of the stars and stripes
is being smirched. Perhaps Major McName. in
command of ths little border patrol is not to
blame. The order may come from higher up.
If It does the American people would like to
know It. The business of disarming Mexican
deserters and forcing them back across the river
to the tender mercies of Orosco and Salazar is
both un-American and Inhuman. With only five
hundred men under his command to control a
possible six or seven thousand Mexican troops.
Major McName does not deserve severe censure
But the fact stands out with ghastly clearness
that somebody has blundered.—Galveston Tri-
bune.
Stopping Trains by “Wireless” Brake.
A method of stopping railway trains electrical-
ly is being experimented with In Bavaria. The
system is one of wireless telegraph communica-
tion between a wire strung on the roof of the
baggage car and any telegraph or telephone
lines running along the track. The apparatus op-
erates either a bell or a light signal in the cab of
the locomotive or It will operate directly on the
air brakes. The system calls for the installation
of a sending station at frequent Intervals so that
If It be desired to stop a train because of some
accident this may be effected from almost any
point along the track.—American Machinist.
Naming Um- Twins.
Paddy one day became the proud father of
twins. The christening ceremony arrangements
were madeand Pat was Instructed by his wife
Moya that the babies’ names were "Kate" and
"Sidney.”
While making his way to the church repeat-
ing the names "Kate” and "Sidney" Pat was
met by several friends who wished to drink to
the babies’ health. By the time ail had paid for
a ropnd Pat was a wee bit mixed. He arrived
at the church in good time but when the clergy-
man asked for the names of the children Pat re-
plied:
"Steak and Kidney.”—New Orleans States.
Oil Held in Pacific Ocean.
Unique among the oil fields of the world is
the Summerland group of wells in California
which extend out into the Pacific ocean. There
are 141 producing wells In this group which is
situated about eighteen miles from Santa Bar-
bara. These wells are drilled out in the ocean
just off the coast and 100000 barrels are taken
from the oil sands underlying the ocean bed
every year. This interesting spectacle of der-
ricks built out Into the sea Is. visible from the
train on the way from Los Angeles to San Fran-
cisco.—Engineering and Mining Journal.
A XeedlosH Prohibition.
Mexico is having to pay a little more freight
than would be the case if American arms were
permitted to cross the border direct but the
arms are being acquired and there is nobody to
be haled before the court for contempt. The
system is for the guns and ammunition to be
shipped to Germany or some other foreign coun-
try from whence they are re-shipped to Mexico
by foreign consignor. Under the system Huerta
is getting all the arms he can pay for.—Temple
Telegram.
Huerta Will Not Resign
A press dispatch from the City of Mexico
states that Huerta will resign after the first of
the year. We don’t believe the old man will do
any trick so dastardly pleasing as quitting his
old job and promenading in the field himself
against the rebels as he says he will do after
the first of the new year. That might be his
resolution at the present time but many good
intentions are broken before the day Is over.—
Ballinger Ledger.
Colonel Henry Exall.
Colonel Henry Exall’s death removes a man
who has lived for more than self and family. He
was one of the broad minded and big hearted
characters who realised that there was a duty to
his country ana his fellowman. A developer he
always was and he rounded out the latter part
of a useful career In taking up the development
of his state and that through the utilisation of
his own resources. Mr. Exall was one of Texas'
grand men and his untimely death Is mourned
by all oltlsens who appreciate a man who works
for his fellows.—Temple Telegram.
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
The police said it was a clear case
the lawyer for the railway company
said it was a clear case and it cer-
tainly looked like a clear case. Yet
with the perversity of her sex bthel
Conger gave more heed to her sym-
pathies than to the logical deductions
of the men who were conversant
with the facts.
"Why it's absurd to call that lit-
tle fellow a train-wrecker" she ex-
claimed.
“It does sound a bit harsh" ad-
mitted the police Inspector ‘but he
wrecked a train right enough. Of
course It was in a spirit of mischief
rather than crime but he wrecked
the train.”
“How did he do it?” asked Miss
Conger.
“Why he and some other kids
spend a good deal of time loafing
in the railway yards when the spe-
cial police don't drive them out”
explained the inspector "and two of
them climbed on an engine that was
standing there and started it. Then
they couldn’t stop it. of course and
it ran on to one of the main lines and
hit an incoming train. At least
that's the way the railway police ex-
plained it to me.”
“Where's the other boy?”
"Oh he jumped and ran when he
saw they were going to hit the other
train.”
"Why didn't this boy jump and
run too?”
"Too frightened. I suppose. It's a
wonder he wasn't hurt but he got
off without a scratch. The luck
those kids have! Six or seven people
on the train were injured although
no one was killed.”
"What right had they to leave an
engine there like that?” demanded
Miss Conger Indignantly.
"Well now you’ll have to ask the
railway people about that” replied
the police officer. "But they tell
me there's a driver looking for an-
other job.”
The boy who had been curled up
in one corner of the cell began to
show signs of life. %
"Never wrecked no engine” he
blurted out. "It was goin’ when I
got on.”
“Some of the yardmen saw the
two get on and start it” explained
the inspector. "No one thinks they
meant to wreck anything but the
company claims to have had all
kinds of trouble with the boys who
hang about the yards and this is a
good chance to teach them a lesson.
Besides it’s a pretty serious mat-
ter.”
"Never wrecked no engine." re-
peated the boy. "You find Billy an'
he’ll tell you."
"Who's Billy?” asked Miss Con-
ger.
''He's the boy that jumped and
ran.” said the inspector.
"Where can I find him?” persist-
ed Miss Conger addressing the boy.
"Well If you can learn that.”
laughed the Inspector “you're smart-
er than the police. We’ve got half
a dozen men looking for him.”
Miss Conger noted the quick sus-
picious glance that the boy gave the
police officer and she wts wise
enough to pass on without any fur-

A CLEAR CASE.
ther inquiries. The time was not
propitious. But she was sympathet-
ic and the plight of the boy appealed
to her. As a volunteer worker in
connection with the Juvenile Court
she had seen much of this side of
life. She was not a probation offi-
cer. but she occasionally Interested
herself in a particular case.
"May I go back and see that boy
alone?” she asked when they had
reached the office. I think perhaps
he will talk to me.”
"Certainly” said the Inspector.
"You might see if you can find out
how to get hold of the other boy.
This one can tell if he will.”
“I’ll ask him” she said.
The boy was disposed to be sullen
at first but within five minutes she
had him close to the bars telling his
story.
"Please let me go in." she said to
the lock-up man finally.
“Would you be willing to be put
in my charge Joe?” she asked hav-
ing learned that his name was Joe
Karpen.
“I ain't goin’ to be In nobody’s
charge” replied the boy resentfully.
“I ain’t done nothin’ wrong."
“I believe you Joe” she said.
‘ You certainly didn’t do anything
wrong intentionally but it’s a pretty
serious matter all the same. A lot
of you boys have been making trou-
ble for the railway men and they
intend ”
“It ain't wrong to want to be an
engine-driver. Is it?” demanded the
’■oy. “You ask Jim Hoskins 'bout
me. I ain’t done nothin’” an’ they’ve
got to let me go!” he insisted.
“But I’m afraid they won’t Joe un-
less you promise—:—'
“I ain’t done nothin’ an' I won’t
promise nothin’!” declared the boy.
“It ain't fair!"
A little later she saw and engaged
n lawyer and the railway company
discovered that the case of the
train-wrecker was destined to *
more than a mere incident in the
routine of Its legal department. A
defence was being prepared. The
fact that Arthur HaAley a young
lawyer appeared for Joe and asked
to have the case put over served to
make the railway people thoughtful.
Then they learned that the other boy
Billy had been located.
“Is he under arrest?” asked the
railway company's solicitor.
"Weil no” replied the policeman
who had brought the information.
"The inspector thought I’d better
come and see you about It."
“What's the matter?”
"Why that Conger girl found him
and took him home with her.” ex-
plained the policeman. "When the
Inspector heard of it he sent me to
get him but she met me at the door
and wouldn't let me in.”
“No. ‘He’s here 1 says she ‘and
If you want to take him by force I
suppose you can.’ But she stood in
the doorway and—well. It didn’t look
to me like a job that I wanted.”
“I presume not” said the lawyer.
“1 never care about going against
defiant womanhood myself—her
weakness is her strength. Still you
can get him with a search warrant.”
The solicitor for the railway was
puzzled for it still seemed to Alm
such a clear case that he could not
even imagine a good defence.
"Did you see the engine start?"

JAN. 7 1914.
Observant Citizen
Chief Deputy United States Mar-
shal John L. Dibrell is authority for
this story:
A Chinaman making his way from
Torreon to the United States ran
Into a bunch of scouting Federal
troops near C. P. Diaz. They stopped
him.
“Here you Chinaman” said the
Federal leader "who are you for? Go
ahead and ‘viva’ and be sure you
'viva' for the right party."
The Chinaman thinking the sol-
diers were Constitutionalists shouted
lustily “Viva Carranza!”
The Federals beat him up and
took ail his money. Then they de-
parted.
As the Chinaman limped along the
highway he encountered another
party of soldiers. They likewise
stopped him.
"Who are you for?" demanded the
leader. "Shout a few ‘vivas!’ ”'
Mindful of his recent experience
the Chinaman did not hesitate an in-
stant. He released a most vigorous
"Viva Huerta!"
The soldiers Constitutionalists this
time beat him up took his clothing
and left him nursing his head.
Once again on his straggling walk
toward the border he met a third
party of soldiers. They held him up.
"Hey you heathen Chinee” men-
aced the leader. "Who ar e you for?
Go on and ‘viva? for the right man.”
The Chinaman grievously sore as
he was. smiled blandly at his cap-
tors.
“Yes” he said "me ‘viva’ all light
but you ‘viva’ first.”
‘is there so much of the material of
which faithful drivers are made that
you can spare this boy?"
“No your honor we want him”
replied the lawyer promptly "al-
though"—with a smile—“we can't
promise him an engine just yet.”

contrasts of the typical Russian no-
bleman and intellectual. H e saw
from the inside every phase of Rus-
sian life. He lived in the soldier's
camp and in the courts of royalty
in the drawing rooms of fashion and
in the haunts of Bohemia. He lived
the savage life in the Caucasus and
the patriarchal life at Yasnaya Poly-
ana. A man of uncontrolable pas-
sions. he committed every sin that it
was possible for a man of his caste
to commit. He gambled away his
ancestral home he joined the revels

pired to sancitlty. Although profes-
sionally a soldier he early became
an apostle of peace. A literary lion
in the circle of Moscow h e became
the exponent of the simple life. An
aristocrat to his finger tips he
preached the gospel of democracy. A
big land owner he ended by being
an advocate of the ideas of Henry
