St Louis just now furnishes a pitt
iful story OF three girls, who went
from New York to sing in an opera
chorus in that city. Engaged by one

they were first offered eighteen dollars

Louis were told by the manager that
he could give them but fourteen dol

this to ten. When the girls remon.
strated with him in regard to his con-
duct he told tkem that there we're
many other ways in which they could
increase their income. and that he did
not care to employ girls who did not
attract the young men. A man who
would make such suggestions as these

The worst feature of the whole at

calls to mind the sad career of q girl

become famous as an actress, and
being offered a fine salary by the
manager of a "leading theatre in Bal

leading parts. she accepted the offer.
On arriving in Baltimore she found
that she had engaged with one of the

Old Tricks.

The notorious Mississippi plan has been
improved upon by Arkansas Democrats. At
least four methods of depriving Republicans
of their votes have been followed in differ
ent parts of Arkansas within week. They
are, respectively, intimidation, robbery,
theft and cheating. The first plan had its
perfection demonstrated at Helena, where
armed men drove hundreds of negro Repub-
licans from the polls. The second was
adopted successfully at Holly Grove, where
masked men rushed upon the judges and
made way with the ballot-boxes, votes and
all. In not a few townships the third plan
prevailed, false counts and false returns
amounting to larceny of Republican bal
lots. The last plan was best exemplifed at
Little Rock, where the Returning Board
threw out precinct after precinct which gave
Republican majorities on the fimsiest tech
nicalities. 1t would be hard to say which
of the four is prominently the Askansas
plan. The first naturally attracts the most
attention, and the Phillips County Demo-
Gratis show great lack of worldly wisdom in
pursuing it, when they have in their hands
every convenience for working under the Sc
cret and equally efficacious plans of falsify-
ing returns and throwing out Republican
maisrties, after the Garcelon fashion.
The Helena bulldozers really gave them5
selves away. We learn from the Little
Rock Gazette, now that the so-called "elec-
ton is over, that ''there was no reason to
believe that interference with the rights
of any citizen was ever contemplated" This
belief has been rudely shaken by the occur
rences of Monday week. Chairman Mangum
and his motley crew would have done very
much more wisely if they had let the blacks
vote, and then counted out the candidates
whom they elected. Such ingenuity as
theirs must have found way to discredit
the Republican tally. 1t is little too late
in the century for bulldozing to be popular.
Toe Arkansas Democratic organ clearly rec
ognizes this fact, or it would rot be so anx-
ious to prove, after intimidation has done
fits work, that there was no reason to antici-
pate intimidation.

The Household Brigade.

The English household cavalry, which made
the crushing and dec sive charge upon the
Egyptian infantry at Kassassin, is one of the
most renowned bodies of horse soldiers in the
world Il consists of three regiments, of about
six hundred men each, entitled: First Lille
Guards, Second Life Guards and Royal Horse
Guards. Like most guards they are heavy
troops, the men averaging about six feet in
height and mounted on horses of unusual size.
They ordinarily wear the helmet and cnirass,
but in the present campaign in Egypt the lat
ter has been left off and the former changed
for light cork helmet covered with white
CLOTH The Life Guards were raised by Charles
II, in 1860, from Two troops of cavalier GENTLE
men who had been with him in exile in Hol-
land The Royal Horse Guards Regiment was
taken on the English military establishment
in 1861, and was the only cavalry regiment re-
tame. at the restoration of the Stuarts from
the great and formidable army of Cromwell.
From their blue coats the Horse Guards are
commonly called the "Blues, to distinguish
them from the Life Guards who wear scarlet.
The three regiments together number about
eighteen hundred horse, and are known as the
household brigade of cavalry When not in
foreign SERVICE they are always stationed near
the SOY6r6Ign'S palaces at w inuSOl anu lJouuOu.
Their organiza ion was perfected under james
the Second s reign, and from that time down
too and including the Waterloo campaign,
were Ia almost constant active service, at nome
and abroad, under William Ill, Marlboro,
Prince Eugene, George Ii. and Wellington
They were generally led by prince of the
blood royal, and distinguished for taelr furious
aud effectivs charges. They bear on their
standards the names of such famous campaigns
and battles, in which they participated as
Walcourt, Boyne, Steenkirk, Landen, Blen-
helm, Dettingen, Fontenoy, Flanders, 1745 aud
1895; Minden, Warbourg, Germany, l762; Cat
eau, Tourney, Peninsula, 1924, and Water
loo Their career was always one of triumph
till Waterloo when they met with disaster. A
few wears before that battle they had been
turned into comparative light cavalry, having
discarded the cuirsss and steel helmet. AS
sncb they encountered on the field OF Waterloo
a brigade of Milhaud's heavy French cuiras-
sierst who rode over them like SO much broken
infantry and semi-decimated them. They
wonld probably have been annihilated had it
not been for the First and Second Dragons,
(Scotch Greys) heavy cavalry, who went to
their rescue. aud in a terrible charge succeeded
in cutting up the French horse before they
could make a second attack on the Guards. In
1921 the household cavalry was again equipped
with the culrass, but not being in the Crimean
war, have had no opportunity since to display
their proves till the bloody action OF kassas-
in. II is proper to say that in that charge the
household had the assistance of detachment |
of the Fourth Dragon Guards, also heavy cav |
airy, and an old and distinguished regiment |
in the British service.

Senator Frye should take his place, but no
man knew better than he how impossible it
was to add to his great labor as Senator the
immense work of making an organization
all over the State such as was absolutely
needtu. He had the sound judgment to de-
cline to act unless Col. F. N. Dow would as
sumo that tremendous task. The result is
a tribute to their combined efforts and good
sense. Senator Frye well says that four
fifths of the credit is due to Mr.. Dow. The
organization was systematic, thorough and
deserving of the brilliant results which fol-
lowed. Col. Dow was simply untiring.

THE Duke of Sutherland has undertaken
a rather interesting agrarian movement on
his Scotch estate. He has broken up the
sheep farm of Embrace, which covers A.
900 acres, into nine holdings, which are to
be, or have been let on favorable conditions.
Most of the grazing area of the Scotch Up
lands is in holdings of 10000 to 10000 acres,
and, therefore, available only for heavy cap
italists. The Duke began improvements on
this part of his property five years ago, when
some 300 acres were brought under cult
vation, and have been SO far .illed that they
now yield prodigious crops. In carrying
out this new experiment the landlord Will
supply houses and fences, and the tenants
will BIZ left free to use their capital in the
purchase and care of their stock.

SOME people in Paris are not intelligent
enough to appreciate the beauties of mod

animals were clearly a lesson in natural his

Two jubilees, both of interest, though
wholly unlike each other, Fave just been
celebrated. At Potsdam $50 years ago was

tains the tomb of Frederick the Great, and
also one of the finest and largest set of
chimes in Europe. The cornerstone OF the
edifice was laid by King Frederick William

dards have been refined for their better
preservation. Much ado was made by the
royal family over the anniversary. The
other event was, as it is claimed, the fiftieth
anniversary of the invention of matches, an
Austrian occurrence. The first match fac
tory in the world is still standing at Jodkop

SPRINGFIELD Union: The Democrats are
talking largely of "Hubbell's barreP' in

made up of Democrats. That is vein that

RoCKLAND Courier: To sum up the
VIII b.. latter, it is the greatest Republican
victory since the election of 1856, when
Hamlin swept the State SO triumphantly
over Gov. Wells. 1t is complete overthrow

will, in all probability, take themselves out
of the mess in which they have become in
volved and stand firmly upon their own ma
innal marty foundations.

LEW journal: The Argus explains
the Fusion defeat on Monday by charging
that all the Republicans bought votes and
lavishly used money. The Republicans did
not have one-fourth as much money as the
Fusionists had two years ago, and scarcely
enough to pay for getting home absent vot-
ers aud defraying the ordinary expenses of
the campaign. So far as can be ascertained
the Fusionists had nearly as much money as
the Republicans. AL the talk about bribery
of the nine hundred voters, who by chang
ing from the Fasion to the Republican side,
or by Saving at home, brought about the
result of Monday, is the greatest nonsense.

mIF one might judge by the tone OF Eng
lsh novels of society, the most exhaustive
labor performed in the educational training
of young ladies and gentlemen of the upper
classes in that country is required for the
soul-absorbing study of the latest fashions
for the use of the knife, fork and spoon in
eating at table. Dress and furniture no
longer serve to distinguish the elite, but the
unfailing test is found at the dinner table.
The great Napoleon would have utterly
failed under such test, as he invariably
preferred his fingers at table, and would
rather eat by himself than in company.

Boston Advertiser: All the sympathizers
with defeated Fusion in Maine give the
same dolorous explanation of the result
Republican money. If there was so much
bribery it ought not to be difficult to prove
some of it. The truth probably is that the
Republicans might have purchased great
many Fusion votes if they had had the funds,
but that the purses of both parties were
much lighter than they two years ago. The
money explanation comes too late from
newspapers which boldly claimed the State
