portion of Cobb Neck, that is what is left
it in that section, believe in taking time by
the toreock According toa correspondent
ia the Baltimore Sun Of Wednesday, they
have organized club with the oyowed in;en-
ton OF healing up and harmoaizmg the differ
enees which exist in their ranks. With more
political acumen than is displayed BY others
Of their party in this section, they have con
Guided to admit to full fellowship all persons,
who say they are now sorry, and who wish
they hadn't. We should not be surprised to
hear that prodigal sons and even rene

club, like thousands OF others, will melt away

There is very little contrast between
the Swiss and French soldier. Both are
below the stature of the German, Eng
lish and American soldier; inferior intel
lectually and physically. The Swiss war
rior wears a cap helmet, which makes
him look at once like a member of a
rural band in America. g. 1t is of black
cloth, with deep blue trimmings and
with black silk braid about the edges.
The front is cooked and the rear slopes
and has the helmet brim. He wears a
navy blue cutaway coat, dark gray PAN
falcons, and each is decked with a very
narrow red cord. At his side is a short,
heavy sword always. His side arms are
completed by a five-shot 42-calibre re-
volver, heavy enough to be used as a
budgeon in close quarters Also. like the
French soldier, the Swiss is armed with a
magazine needle gun, and is given SC
much active training that he is invariably
fair marksman. In this, as nearly all
continental armies, there is by govern
ment authority an inducement for sol.
diers to become fine marksmen. But
the pay of the continental soldier is SC
low and generally his service so nearly
mental that he takes little interest in what
he does. The pay is about one-fourth
that of the American soldier and less than
half of that paid the English.-Cor. Phila
adelphia Times.
