A wOMAN,s MILITARY CAREER

Some time ago a young man was re-
ceived by the express order of his Majesty,
as a candidate for an ensign's commits
sion, into the company of the first bat
talon of the 9th regiment, in Stargard,
the same company in which his grand
mother had served as a subaltern officer
during the war of liberation against the
French, and bravely won the Iron Cross
and the Russian order of St. George
This lady, who was called Augusta Fred
eriker Kruger, was native of Fridland
in Mecklenburg, and not content with Of
fering, like many other of her country
women, her trinkets and her flowing
locks on the altar Of patriotism, she en-
tered the ranks as volunteer under the
name of Lubbock and distinguished
herself by her intrepidity on many hard
fought field.
On the 23d of October, 1916, she re-
eeiyed her discharge, and her services
were mentioned in this document in the
most fiattering terms. In January, 1916,
being present, in the garments of her sex,
at the festival of the order of the Iron
Cross, held at Berlin, she attracted the
attention of All under officer of lancers,
called Carl Kohler, TO whom she was
married in the garrison church of Berlin
on the 9th of March of the same year.
The church, ON this occasion was densely
packed with spectators, all anxious to
witness the marriage of two Prussian sub
altern officers. The heroic bride appeared
in handsome silk gown, and wore on her
breast the orders she had so hOnorably
won, which, with her hair, still rather
short for woman, were the only indica-
tions of her former military career

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

Mrs. Gaines tells an amusing incident of
her recent visit to the city of her Spanish
estates. She was walking on the street
when heavy hand from behind was laid
upon her shoulder. She had sometimes
been threatened with violence, and turn
ing, with terror on her face, to see who
should make the assault, confronted a
stalwart Irishman, with the question in
his mouth "And l want to ask of yez,
mum, whether this is not Mrs. General
Gaines - 81 am Mrs Gaines, answered
the startled lady; "what do you wish,
sirl" ''And have been looking after
yez these many weeks, mum, to say that
| have a little house on streak of your
property; am poor man, and have as
Elegant livery stable as there is in the
city of New Orleans, and want to ask
of yez, mum, whether yez would be kind
enough to take out your claim in carriage
hire?" The lady told him, smilingly,
that if he was poor man and honest, he
should not be disturbed in his possession,
and went off with Irish benedictiOns fall
ing thick upon her head, together with an
invitation to call on ''Katie"

THE CONVENTEON-HO JOHN q.
GAIT.

To the Editors of the Union and American
The names of several worthy gentlemen
have been suggested as suitable delegates
to the Constitutional Convention, and it is
evident that the people of Davidson will
be able to secure an honorable representa-
ton. trust, however, you will permit an
old citizen to present the name of Hon.
John c. Gaut, as one eminently qualified
to represent this county in that Conven-
ton. He is jurist of unquestioned abil-
ity, gentleman of unblemished character,
and from bOyhoOd has been thoroughly
identified with the people of Tennessee. Our
people could find no safer counselor amid
the many intricate questions likely to arise
in the Convention, and l hope his name
will be at once put forward as a candidate.

A FEMALE FIEND IN THE SCHOOL
ROOM.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia special commit
tee of the Board of Education made an
examination, this afternoon, into the
charges against Miss Herrick, teacher in
the Skinner school, alleged to have pun
ished a pupil SO severely as to induce
brain fever and probably death. The
physicians were examined, as well as
several pupils, the teacher herself, and
the mother of the child. The physicians
discovered no marks or bruises on the
head, but the arm was lame and the right
wrist swollen. Some of the children tes-
titled that the child was jerked against the
steam-pipes in the school room. The
teacher admitted that some part of the
child's body struck the steam-pipes, but
thinks it could not have been the head, as
she did not reiinquish her hold upon the
child. The evidence appeared to indicate
that there are cases where the children are
subjected to study so severe as TO induce
brain disease.

RECONSTRUCTED
Sweets OF Radical RuIe-Nice Times
in south Carolina.


From the Charleston News, Nov. 10.
Gov. Scott has made the burning of one
or two country stores in Sumter county
the occasion of characteristic prOcla-
nation. He dwells at length on the enOr-
nifty of the outrage, and denOunces the
use of the torch with vigOr and earnest
ness that seems passing strange, coming
from an official who already, in the brief
period of his administration, has turned
loose upon the community more robbers,
incendiaries and cut-throats than were
ever before pardOned by all the governors
that have figured in the history of South
Carolina. And lest, perchance, these
precious graduates of the penitentia-y,
upon whose help the political hopes of
our ambitious Governor and his motley
crew so largely depend, might innocently
imagine that some of the sharp words
used were meant for them, the following
saving clause is dexterously interlarded
between the falsiticatiOns and threats
which make up the burden of the prOcla-
nation:
If those who pretend to possess the
wealth, the intelligence, and the morality
of the community, resort to it (the tOrch)
under the pretence of enforcing the law,
or furnishing dishonesty, they must not
be surprised if others, not so
favored, smarting under a sense of in
justice and wrong, by which, perhaps,
they have been defrauded of the hard
earned proceeds of their labor, and their
families deprived of food, clothing and
shelter land such cases are not unfre-
quent) should resort to the same summary
process for redress.
This is the language of the man to
whose keeping Radicalism has entrusted
the peace and prosperity of South Caro-
lima.

The ''happy dog" as our readers have

home, imply either an impressive weight
of dignity or a purse noticeable heavy
The Duke of Baden has small cash To
