WAR AND RED TAPE
HUI tlon WorAril All lllcbt In Tlmo

The war oDlco Is full ot entoitainliiE
Incidents Last April that buoyant
roughrldlng blootllolrig statesman
soldier and dilettante Theodore Hooso
velt was busy trying to get authori-
zation for raising the command of
which he Is now the head Ho was
assistant rsecietary of the navy and
did not send his eaid In to his fel
lowofllceholders When ho called on
them One day ho hioke iu qu Gen
Ludlngtous leposc Ludington was
and Isthe head of the quartetmasteis
department and lsaso rder51ovlng a
soul as unyoldladyinthe world To
him came the enthusiastic Roosevelt
I want a lequlsttlon for 1000 horses
at once and authority to buy em
wheio they can bo found said the
Impetuous Thcodoie We shall have
to proceed according to the jegulatlons
and advertise for the horses replied
Ludington But we are enlisting
these men In every stato of the union
urged Hoosevelt and wo want them to
take their horses with them wh efe
they aro enlisted Then said Lud
ington we shall have to adveitlso for
them wheie they are bought But
It will take ninety days and cost 1
000000 argued Roosevelt We must
conform to tho legulatlons Insisted
Ludington Damn tho regulations
shouted Roosevelt You people In-
here are tied hand and foot with your
cursed led tape Mr Secretary cried
Ludington who had become rather
warm himself do not curse the regu-
lations sir do not curse tho regu-
lations They are not red tape They
aro teasonable piovlslons and this de-
partment worked under them like
clockwork sir for 25 year till this
cursed war came along and upset ev-
erything New Time
ART OF LYING
I seem to have had a rather large ac-
quaintance with liarsand I find that
<
thydlvldethemselves naturaliyMtof
aurlaflMf j f A
g pa Ofti
TfiieiwrleKrrhre ls the cruel arid
scandalous liar who makes mischief ln
your home or among your friends and
who Is one of the greatest Curses of so-
cial life There is the man who lies for
profit and he also Is a danger to the
trustful and unwary Then there Is
the man who lies because of his own
exaggerated senso of selfimportance
and the constant craving to astonish or
Interest other people He is almost
harmless and Is generally a man of ex-
cessive amiability Then there is the
purely humorous liar who is an un-
adulterated boon and blessing
I had written for a magazine a poeni
called England to America One of
these gentle prevarlcatois told me that
ho had received a letter from Prince
Bismarck about it and made a grope in
his pocket and hunted thiough a heap
of documents He was awfully sorry
that he had left Bismarcks letter at
home He remcrabeied now exactly
where he had bestowed It and he would
bring It into town next day I met
him next day and he ran to me with
enthusiasm Ive got that letter ot
the kaisers he said with a beaming
triumph Tho kaisers I aaked
Yes the letter about your poem The
letter from the kaiser I told you about
it yesterday You forgot the kaiser
yesterday you only spoko of Bis
marck Really s that so Well
Ive got em both today Therr was a
new search and there were new lam
entatlons How could he have come
to bo so stupid He hrd left both
letters at home and what a pity it was
that I was going to tho continent that
evening He finally overdrew his ac-
count when he assured me that he had
Just left Salisbury and had learned
from that distinguished mans own lips
that I was lu tho running for tho lau
reateshlp Tho odd and notable thing
was that outsido this almlees shame-
less foolery the mnn was astuto and
honest I believe that he waa scrupu-
lously exact In money matters and that
the world could not have tempted him
to an Inexactitude in business which
would have brought a dishanorablo
shilling to his pocket
