oh! Take Him Away!


Editor LIGHT:
All yesterday afternoon and even
ing, and again this morning tall,
dudish looking young fellow with
straw berry blond moustache has been
lolling around in the chairs on the
sidewalk of the Menger hotel. He Is
dressed in the uniform of the Dallas
Artillery.
He has manifold grievances lin his
mind) and is giving vent to his feel
ings. These grievances consist of va
rious matters; he opened his mouth to
one person but opens 1t so wide that it
is evidently his intention to make
everybody on the sidewalk hear
him. The tenor of his grievances are
that none of the officers from General
Stanley down to the sentry on guard
have any conception of military life
or military discipline, and their lack
of knowledge on those points have so
| Disguised him that he will not return
to camp.
He has gone through this song so
often that it has become monotonous
to all the guests of the Menger who
desire to enjoy the cool breeze in
front of the hotel. Somebody should
coax him off with stickof peppermint
candy-or hickory stick.
Yours truly, OBSERVER.

The Nice police few weeks ago
caught another spy, this time said to be
in the military service Of Italy. He was
brought, ss.,. :.s y ser trial hefnra the tribunal
when he gave his name as Peter Contin,
aud said that he was born at Agram, in
Austria. The police alleged, however,
that his real name was Contini, and that
he was an officer in the Italian reserves.
About twenty witnesses were called to
prove that he had passed himself off
sometimes as an Englishman, at Others
W . Swiss, and as an Austrian; that he
had followed the autumn maneuvers Of
the French troops, and had been seen
making drawings of the Notifications Of
Nice, Toulon and Marseilles. Some Of
these plans, together with technical de-
scriptions, were found in his boxes, and
Gen. GARNER DIES Carrots. commander Of
the Nice garrison. said they would be of
the greatest value to an enemy. The
tribunal considered the charge of espion-
age proved, and sentenced Contini to the
maximum penalty of 5000 francs and
Eve years penal servitude.-Cor. Lon

The most startling soda fountain nov
city, though, is "crushed violets." The
strip is manufactured under patent by
q Philadelphia firm, and when served up
with the usual carbonic fizz makes del.
icately favored. swedish drink, which
Is best described as tasting exactly as
violets smell. The secret Of the flavor
belongs to the manufacturer. 1t is not
derived in any way from violets-that is
quite certain. The violet, when crushed,
gives forth none Of that grateful perfume
which is somehow manufactured within
the veins Of the plant and exhaled from
the blossom. None Of the odor Of violets
Is obtained from the flowers. A distilla-
ton Of their juice gives an acrid COM
pound of no pleasant odor. The perfume
Is all manufactured artificially and orris
root is its base. Probably orris root is
the base also of the flavoring which en-.
ters into this new drink.-Kansas City

A Hint for Vacation.

II you have not laid out your vacation
eor the season, begin now, and you viii
enjoy It In anticipation from now until
you 60. always get q years pleasure
cut Of my summer vacation. in antdci
patton, participation and retrospection.
Now . word to those who cannot spare
ths time for q summer outing. Il Is a
well Known and generally accepted fact
that the aggregate results OF years
labor will be greater in the case Of the
man who works ten months and plays
two In the year than in the cass Of the
man who works twelve straight months.
And from an economical point Of view
such outings are cheaper than staying
At home; also, when looked at from a
physiological standpoint, see the grand
results. The recuperation Of vitality
and rest for brain and body are worth
more than many times the cost Of the
trip-paid out for medicine and doctors
bills.
do not mean for you to 60 to some
fashionable summer resort, have your
mail come from the city every day, and
INDUCING in dancing, bathing, dinners
and all other sorts of social disdpations
This would only be jumping from the
frying pan into the fire. What mean
II to 60 to some quiet farm house in the
mountains, or with your family or few
jovisl friends go and camp out in the
pine woods, on the banks Of a clear pure
spring or lake, where you can get good
fishing and hunting. Take along your
rod and reel, gun and dog; leave behind
your mail and all business matters.
What you want is change change
from the din, rush and worry Of city life
to quiet rest and enjoyment. Try 1t
once, and know you will not miss TAX
ing a regular summer vacation every sea-
son If 1t is possible to do so.-Forest and
Stream.
