TROUBLE HUNTING APACHES
For picking an unfortunate time to revolt the Apaches
of Arizona are without equal. At some other time, with
nothing else at hand to think about the government would
probably send a deputation from Congress down to Arizo
na to reason with the red men and smoke the peace pipe.
Alas, the German must be straffed and we have no time
to parley with cantakerous redskins, so what the Arizona
cowboys will do to that tribe will probably not be nice.
The Apache is short of memory and keeps little or no
written record or he wouldn’t be tackling this task right
now. Not over thirty-five years back the Hualapi Apaches
took the war path after a bunch of nine cowboys and they
settled the score in a little valley south of Prescott, which
since that time has been known as "Skull Valley," and,
there were no white men's skulls therabouts, either.

INCIVIL SERVICE
Fred Brock is hunting a job in the German postal ser
vice.
Postoffice work is all he knows much about. He has
been at it twenty-six years, in Washington.
The reason he isn’t working there any more is the fact
that he would rather work for the Kaiser.
He revealed this at a postal clerk’s excursion, when he
sang a song so parodied as to extol the Kaiser.
He has failed to sign up with the Kaiser, not because
of any present contract. The first assistant postmaster |
general released him from any such obligation. He is
out of work, all right, and a steamship ticket to Hamburg
is all that stands between him and his new job.
Civil service is well and good. But incivil service is
something else again.
Bock! Hm! Wonder if his name was a hoodoo!—Ex.

WASHINGTON A MARSHAL
Joffre is not the first French marshal this country has
seen. He was preceded by George Washington something
more than 135 years ago. Probably few of our readers are
aware that Washington ever held this exalted rank, but it
was conferred upon him by Louis XVI, for the very good
reason that Rochambeau was ordered to report to the
American general, and as a matter of discipline could not
take orders from one who was not his superior in the
French service.
Of course, the position was an honorary or technical
one, but it was official and the commission duly made out.
Fortunatelv, it was whollv unnecessary. Never did a no
bleman of the Old World serve a democrat more lovallv
%/ %>
than did Rochambeau obey the orders of Washington.
Lafayette is really no exception, since he was a youth and
a volunteer, but Rochambeau came with his division as a
part and parcel of the army of France. In a little inn at
Wethersfield, Conn., still standing, the two men conferred
and decided on a campaign which practically ended the

war.
Rochambeau was elected to head the French expedi
tion to this country not alone because of his abilities and
his rank, but because of those qualifications he possessed.
France was ransacked to find a man who was thought to
measure up to the moral and mental standard of the Amer
ican leader. It is a remarkable thing that in an age when
communication was slow, when newspapers were few and
America was further off than any portion of the world
now is, Washington was known in France as a man not
only of consummate abilities as a soldier, but as a man of
highest character. Hence Rochambeau was sent as the best
man to meet him on an elevated plane of thought.
“We got this boat together in remarkably short time,”
remarked Noah jubilantly as he stood off and surveyed the
ark. “Yes,” replied Japhet, “all we had to do was to go
ahead and build her of wood. There hasn’t been any steel
construction to stop and argue about.”—Washington Star.
