QUEER LOOKING MILITARY CAPS.
Soldiers are 30 numerous In most Ger.
man cities that We almost tramp upon
them. Did you ever see German military
capp There is bu. little difference between
that OF private and officer, and more hid.
eous one Ia hard to find. 1t ia far different
from the American army cap. hardly
know why it Is, but there always seemed
something brave, daring and God.inspiring
in the very shape and color Of the latter,
which we look for In vain In the cap Of
any other nation. A stranger not familiar
with uniforms has hard work 10 d!s.in.

A PRETTY CUSTOM.
