BERTEAUX MIGHT HAVE
BEEN FRANCE'S PRESIDENT
Lite War Minister Was Successful
Business Man and Able Statesman.
Henri Maurice Berteaux , French min
ister of war , who was killed when nn
aeroplane dashed Into a crowd of spec
tators at the I say aviation field , em
bodied In successful combination the
qualities of statesman and business
man. Fondness for politics led him
Into public Ufa when a young man ,
and ho had taken a conspicuous part In
nil the great agitations In France In
tbe last twenty years. At the same
time ho followed his business as broker
at the bourse and did It so well that
be accumulated a largo fortune. Ills
friends hoped to make him a candidate
tor president In 1013.
This was his second term In the war
ministry , having been first appointed
to the post when General Andre was
forced out In 100-1. Only three civilians
had ever held that post before him , but
early In his first administration he
flhowcd close acquaintance with the af
fairs of that department. When Pre
mier Monts offered him the portfolio
again In March the country applauded
the choice.
Bcrtcaux's activities In the chamber
of deputies date from 1893. Ho at
tached himself'to the Socialist group.
Having a sonorous volco and pleasing
delivery , ho soon became n favorite In
the debates. Ono of the measures
that helped his popularity was n bill
to decorate' with the Legion of Honor
cross five firemen who had made he
roic rescues. When the bill passed he
save a great banquet for the men at
bis homo In Clinton and balled them
as colleagues whom he was proud to
welcome Into that distinguished order.
EUs speeches on the floor got him into
several duels.
Although bis methods In debate were
those of a hard bitter , bo always pre
pared his subject carefully and was
recognized as one of the most scholar
ly and Intelligent of bis party. He
stood among tuo first In the chamber
on financial and military subjects. Jt
was under his leadership that the
term of military service was reduced
from three years to two.
In the debates of last winter he re
eelved credit for having precipitated
the fall of the Rrland cabinet Juares.
ihe leader of the Socialist group ,
yielded first place to him In the ngltn
tion over the French railway strike ,
nnd It was Herteaux's Interpellation
that brought about the cabinet crisis.
M. nertcaux was born In 1852. At
the age of eighteen ho volunteered for
the defense of Paris. Ever after his
Interest was alert in military affairs.
Ho finally became captain of artillery
fo the territorial army , a home guard
reserve. About twenty-five years ago
his fellow citizens of Chatou elected
him. as their mayor. His administra
tion of that place opened the way to
.him for tbo seat in tha chamber from
Versailles.
M. Dortcaux's death Is specially nn
timely for France , as ho was directing
with M. Gruppl the present dellcato
Morocco situation. He had an. income
of $100,000 a year.

TRIP FOR PAULINE.
White House Cow Will Be Among At
tractions at Milwaukee Show.
Pauline Wayne , the White House
cow , is to have a trip. It Is not a trip
abroad won In a newspaper voting
contest nor yet a transfer such as the
state department , under whose windows
dews she grazes , gives Its officers.
Pauline Wayne Is going homo to min
gle again with the common herd , so
to speak , and compete for prizes on
her native heath.
President Taft hesitated not a mo
ment when the proposal was made to
him. The Idea of getting the aristo
cratic Pauline originated In Iowa and
culminated In Wisconsin. Out at Wa
terloo they planned to Invite Pauline
for the dairy show. In Wisconsin
they heard this , and A. S. Cannon ,
secretary or the International Dairy
Show association , to meet In Milwau
kee In September , made a fervent ap
peal that Pauline be allowed to go to
Milwaukee and not to Waterloo. He
did not like tbe name of the town any
how. It reminded him of Napoleon.
Mr. Cannon won. President Taft
has consented , and Mr. Taft will have
the first entry In a dairy show by any
president since the time of Thomas
Jefferson.

fore that time will bo honored by us.
but at their expiration no more will
be granted. This applies to both gam
bling and bullfighting. We now are
Investigating the keno and poker
rights in Juarez. "
As Madero is against gambling In
every form , the national lottery and
all gumbliug rights eventually may be
abolished.
"God and I. "
[ The rather remarkable poem , or
fragment , given below is taken from
a volume published recently In Lon
don , entitled "The Pillow Book. " No
author Is given credit , and search has
so far failed to ( Ind one. A thought
so striking , so well expressed and so
much a part of tbe philosophy of
many high minds ought not to remain
long anonymous as to authorship. ]
God and I In apace alone
And nobody elao In view ,
"And where are the people , O Lord ? " 1
said ,
The earth beneath and the sky o'erhead
And tha dead whom once I knew ? "
"That was a dream , " God smiled and said ,
"A dream that has ceased to bo true.
There were no people , llvlnff or dead.
No earth beneath and no sky o'erhead.
There were only- myself and you. "
"And why do I feel no fear , " I said ,
"Meeting you here this way ?
For I have sinned I know full well.
And Is thorn heaven , and Is there hell.
And Is this the Judgment day ? "
"Nay ; those were but dreams , " the great
God said ,
"Dreams that have ceased to be.
There are no such things as fear and sin.
And you yourself you have never baen.
There Is nothing at all but ma , "

TELEPHONES FOR RANGERS.
Adopted as an Aid to Fighting Forest
Fires.

used by the signal corps
Prevention of large fires has been
furthered since last ye.ir through
lengthening trails and extending per
manent telephone lines When the tire
season arrives an extra force of ran

WHY STOVALL'S WORK IS POOR
Cleveland' ! Pint Dnsoman Is Peculiar
Victim of Playing Deside Lajoto.
For several seasons Cleveland fnnn
Imve been asking. What Is the matter
with George Stovall ? The.se fans de
mnnd that the club get a Ilrst Backer
of the caliber of Hal Chase. The NIMH *
management has tried out many men
on the Initial bag In the last Tew HCII
sous , but all have been sent buck to
the-minors , and Stovall still continues
to be guardian of the Initial station
The real answer to the question asked
by the fans Is short. One word of six
letters , L-a-J-o-l-e. answers It all.
George appears to have suffered from
working beside one of the greatest
players In the country for several
years. It la a peculiar case of a star
bull player spoiling the Holding ability
of a mediocre one.
Stovall perhiip.s covers less ground
around first base than any oilier Qrst

sackcr In the American league , and
all because for a number of years ho
has been working beside the peerless
L-ajoIe. who not only covered all or
his own territory , but also a good portion
tion of Stovall's.
Any Nap fan will tell you that Sto
vall's greatest weakness Is going to
his right after a grounder. Hu simply
can't get over the ground.
Stovall Isn't naturally a shirker ; lie'a
a good , hard worker , and he has plen
ty of baseball brains , but he Is getting1
fearfully weak In fielding. Going to
the left he is as good as any of them ,
and ho has male some remarkable
catches. He IP Just unfortunate In
that he hay had to play beside one of
the most wonderful players In the
game.
CRAWFORD IN GREAT SHAPE.
"Wahoo Sam" Playing o Wonderful
Game For the Tigers.
"When the last season drew to a
close It was the general opinion that
Sam Crawford , the Detroit American
heavy hitting outfielder , was ou thi >
down grade and that this would prob
ably be his last season In a major
league. Today Crawford Is leading
the American league batters with an.
average considerably over . -100 , and
he Is playing a better game of ball
than he ever has played before In Ma
long career.
There Is no doubt that n player of
Crawford's disposition would bo af
fected by any misunderstanding ho
might have with a teammate , and his
quarrel with C'obb undoubtedly threat
ened to end his days of usefulness to
the Detroit club. Hut the difference
between this wonderful pair of hit
ters has been smoothed over , with the
result that Crawford and Cobb are
playing great ball tlie.se days and nro
really responsible for the brilliant
showing the Tigers have made to date.
Cricket to Be Livelier.
To make cricket livelier English pro
gressives are to narrow the bats and
make the slumps higher. It takes
three days to play n match under
present rules. The new bat will he
three nnd n half inches wide Instead
of four and a quarter.
