Found In Nearly Every village.
There is generally somebody's
lady as a rule-in each district, on
whom it's finest malaprops are ia
thered, sometimes quite unfairly. It
is she who is reported to have made
that speech about the glo1:ies Of her
fathers house, up to the door of which
there rana"revenue of popular trees, P"

that little ''malady" she had learned
at the cemetery" and she again who

A Saleswoman's Hard Question.

A lady had almost decided to buy
the coat she was trying on. The
weary saleswoman breathed sigh
of relief. The customer had been
hard to suit. Even yet she fingered
the buttons and twitched the sleeves
thoughtfully.
"What was this fur when it was
alives" she asked abruptly as she adj
justed the collar.
The saleswoman hesitated and
stammered. She was torn between
a businesslike desire to make a sale
and a conscientious regard for the
truth. Her confusion was painful.
'Well, ma'am, we have to call it
marten," she said at last, "but it was
skunk when it was alive. youths

THE GERMAN SOLDIER.
Two objectionable OfFenses In the German
Army Relate to Emciency.

Two objectionable Onenses In the German
Army Relate to Efficiency.
There are two things which the
German officer does not and cannot
condone-one is noneficiercy of the
soldiers rifle, the other c,lafed foot.
If either of these two takes place on
the march or during the maneuvers,
the soldier is Immediately punished
with arrest and is not allowed to
offer any excuse. During the differ
emit maneuvers of German army
corps that I have attended ! cannot
recall a handful of footsore men in
the course of a days work, and yet
at all these field operations forced
marches are a feature in order to
test the endurance Of officers and
men.
The secret of this uniform excel
lence as regards marching powers
lies in the training which the men
receive. When they enter their COM
pany as recruits in October, the first
thing that is impressed upon their
minds is the importance Of the shoe
and the musket. Nopains are spared
in giving the men at the start COM
Portable footgear, and they are ex-
pected to look after this with as
much interest as if it were q chro-
nometer.
In the spring following, when the
snow is off the ground, marches are
undertaken, and these are regulated
as carefully as are the strokes and
the courses of the college crew un-
der the hands of the trainer. Each
day the men march half mile or so
farther than the day before; each
day they carry on their back an
ounce or two more; each day the
speed they are able to maintain is
carefully noted; in fact, the record
of a company's marching from day
to day until late in the summer
when they move into the open coun-
try is kept as infinitely as if it were
a single picked company training fol
a match or competitive drill.
The German soldier is educated
and trained for the purpose of fight
ing, and to have a man fall out be-
fore he reaches the fire line is looked
upon as quite as much disaster al
if he had been shot and wounded by
the enemy. The art of war, as prac
ticed in Germany, is very much the
art of getting there" and it is the
general who posts himself most ad
vantageously at the critical moment
that may be assumed to have wor
the battle. -Harper's.

Tho Umpire.
He stands before the eager, surging throng
Weary and wretched, and the mighty

Cheer all the men around him wondrous

But threaten him with imprecations loud.
Yea, mock tho man whose object Is to please,
without tinge Of shame, sad and forlorn
He stands where balls ny thickest, but they
freeze
The marrow in his bones with looks Of
He knows this weary hour may be his last,
But on his noble brow NO trace Of fear
Appears His eyes upon the field are cast;
His form u bent with sorrow and with care.

AN EXPERIENCE OF TRAVEL,

How a Woman Was Well Repaid For .
Little Bit Of Kindness.
It was a woman who was talking
"a little, giddy looking thing-but
she was speaking quite nervously to
her travelling companions, telling a
story of her experience on q former
"Trip.
"Yes," she was saying, MRS. B.

along, as I was going home on a Wis

travelling I didn't have any too much
money; in fact, I had spent all my al
lowance except a dollar and was
ashamed to let Jim know, so when
the conductor told me I must send
that dog to the baggage car and pay

felt pretty bad"
Mean old thing" chorused the
company.
He said that it wasn't his fault
that the dog was a perquisite Of the
baggage man."
"And then he tied him up and
didn't give him drink nor any,

The car was crowded, and there

moment I just let her stand. Then
I felt ashamed Of myself, and giving

NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST.

This Is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture or archite ltural plan all
the competitors risking the loss of their labor
and the successful one merely selling his for
the amount OF the prize. But the Press Claims
Companys offer is something entirely differ
emit Eacn person is asked merely to help him,
self, and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing it, The
prize is only stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without 1t. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something OF very little use
to him But the person who patents simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Compa
nys competition, need not worry If he fail to
secure the prize. He has a substantial result
to show Tor his work--one that viii command
its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any articles in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm.
prove II than the mechanical expert who stud
les 1t only from the theoretical point of view
Get rid of the idea that an improvement can
be too simple tn be worth patenting The
simpler the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and popularity
will get the Press Claims Companys twenty
Ave hundred dollars.
The responsibility of the company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa
pers of the United States
Address the Press Claims Company, John
