GETTING A POINTER.
Young Man Saw Way in Which the
License Money Could Be Got.

A long-legged young countryman, with
his trousers three inches from his boots,
and his boots three miles from shine,
passed into the Office where marriage
licenses are kept ON tap, with basket
on his arm.
Good JnoTnin,'' he said to the clerk.

This is the place replied the clerk
We'll, I've got six dozen eggs in this
here basket; can L sit one for them?'
Hardly, | guess.
We'll, l don't know nothin about the
price of eggs ner marriage licenses but

issued writs of arrest against them for
contempt of court. When the United
States marshal sought to serve this
writ. he, with his deputies. was locked
up by the Hoganites, and the party ran
away with the train headed for Wash
ington. Finding themselves unable,
with the resources at their command,
the court, the judge and the United
States marshal telegraphed for aid to
Acknowledgement Olney. The latter
saw the president last night and Cen
eral Schofield was called into consulta-
ton. 1t was soon settled there was
warrantable necessity for executive &C
ton. The property seized was within
federal control, and the mob had re-
sisted the mandates of the federal
courts. Sections 5,279 to 5,316 Of the re-
vised statutes authorize the use of
federal troops to suppress insured
tons, rebellions and spiracies, which
prevent The enforcement Of judicial
process or civil proceedings, of the laws
of the United States.
There was no ground for the interfer-
ence of the governor or state authori-
ties Of Montana, for the matter was an
offense against the federal statutes and
the violation Of the orders of a federal
court. So there was no recourse but
to the president and no course open tC
him save to maintain the law, and the
usual civil process having failed through
the marshaPs inability to control the
solution, to direct the United States
troops to enforce that process. He
therefore issued orders to Colonel
Swayne to intercept the law breakers
arrest them and turn them over to the
United States marshal for such action
and punishment as the court may pre-
scribe.
The Northern Pacific line over which
the Hoganites must pass to come east
runs through the boundaries Of the mil
itary post at Fort Keogh, Mont, and
this point was selected for the arrest
to make sure the Hoganites should not
pass beyond the Montana line, where
the jurisdiction of the United States
marshal, Mr.. Bede. would stop. For
tunately this point is one of the strong
est garrisons in the northwest, com
prising about 500 men.

LIVELY AT FREDERICK.
How News of the Trouble at Billings
Was Received.

Was Received.
Frederick, Md, April 25-There has
been lively time in the camp of the
commonwealers tonight Two tele-
grams were received by Brown and
read to the men, throwing the army in
to wild excitement
Brown mounted on one of the wag-
ons and read a telegram saying that a
collision between Kelly's men and the
militia had occurred and that the la
borers had been fired on, six of them
being killed. The news was received
with shout of anger from the men
that was followed by a general buzz
of discussion.
Later in the evening, Brown and
CoXey were shown another dispatch,
saying that another collision between
the Butte -industrials at Billings, Mont.
had occurred with the loss of a man
on each side. Neither Brown or CoXey
seemed much surprised at the news,
and neither expressed himself at all
over the moral effect the affair would
have on the industrial movement.
Late in the evening, there was
another telegram received at the camp
and read to the crowd. 1t was from
Henry Vincent, editor of the Chicago
Express, saying 1000 of the striking
iron moulders would start for Wash
ington, joining the Coxey army at
Rockville on Sunday This news was
received with applause.

ease and pleasure. l also teach the
practice of abstinence unhesitatingly
and boldly for the personal reasons
named, and for many other reasons
resting on scientific data.
But this does not influence me in
what 1 am now teaching. Athleticism
is an exceptional practice, and If felt
that alcoholic fluids would, as drinks,
help the athlete under any circum-
stances, I would say use them excep-
tionally, just as I might say in case OF
disease. No, what influences me is an
experience I gained long before 1 he
came an abstainer. I know the value
of abstinence during the period OF
training and the danger of Indulgence.
So long as you are in course OF pre-
paration touch not the hurtful thing;
it will be sure to undermine all the
qualities on which you depend for sue
cess. 1t will injure your precision, your
d1clsion, your presence of mind and
your endurance.
The famous trainer who taught me
the four qualities put me up in that.
He was not well when he was himself
preparing for a great race, and finding
him below par in the matter of circu-
latory power, 1 advised him to indulge
in a little alcohol to help him through.
He resented this at once. 1t would
take away every chance, as it did in
tHe case OF one OF MS opponents. WeS-
ton gave the same testimony. When
he walked 400 miles in five days he alb
stained totally; and when he walked
the 5000 miles in 100 days he abstained
totally; and when he walked from
Brighton to London he assured me
that a single glass of sherry or nip of
brandy would reduce his activity. He
was not regularly an abstainer When
he was at liberty he enjoyed as a lux
ury a glass of wine or a tumbler of ale,
but when he was in competition it was
absolutely necessary for him to re-
frain altogether-New York World.

HOW BIG SLEEVES ORIGINATED.

Rousseau says ugly women almost
always introduce the fashions and pretty
women are foolish enough to follow
them" 1t is probably true that no fash
ion is introduced without some reason,
and this reason is generally either the
display of a beauty or the concealment
of a defect-oftener the latter. For in
stance, when the immense sleeves-then
called gigot sleeves-came into fashion
more than fifty years ago, they were
evolved out of the shrewd consciousness
of French women that they would serve
to diminish the apparent size of their
large waists.
a French fashion writer of that period
says: when the sleeves called gigot
first made their appearance everyone ex-
claimed against the pizarrerie of a fash
ion which not only concealed the shape
of the arm, but made it appear larger
than the waist, and the ladies who first
wore these sleeves lined with buckram
for the purpose of putting them out, ap-
peared as if each shoulder was enclosed
in a balloon. Still this singular style of
sleeve became very general and no
longer appeared ridiculous. From Gus
tom its elegance was admitted even by
those who first ridiculed it. We yielded
to the authority of the greater number,
and it would have been ridiculous not to
follow a fashion aim 1T universal
There is an econo mic side to the big
sleeves of today, after ALL" said a
sprightly young mother the other day,
and they make over beautifully for
frocks for the children. New York Ad-

With its moaning load of pain;

And, unheeding jeers or command,
Placed it in his haversack.

EARLY POSTAGE RAVES.

Postage was a luxury in 1916. 1t cost
6 cents to send a letter thirty miles or
less; from thirUy-one to eighty miles
the charge was 10 cents; from eighty
one to $50 miles, 121h cents; from ISL
to 400 miles 1874 cents,a and over 400 mile 5
% cents. These rates were in force I'M
til 1876, when Lysander Spooner, of
Boston, decided to run a mail route
between Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, in opposition to
the government. He contended that
the government had no constitutional
right to prevent by law private indi-
viduals from carrying the mails, SO he
established his route. charging cents
per letter.
The legal part of the question seems
never to have been decided, but Con-
gross appears to have reduced the pos
tai rate chiefly to avoid competition.
the rate was made as follows: under
800 miles, cents; over 300 miles, 10
cents; drop letters, 2 cents.
This rate held for six years, when
the cent prepaid rate for 5000 miles
was established. If the postage was
not prepaid, 3 cents was collected of
the person who received the letter. For
a distance over 5000 miles the, rates
were doubled.
In 1883 letter postage was again re-
duced to ? cents per half an ounce, and
in 1885 to 2 cents per ounce.-Kate

man at his post, and even the Indian
company was prepared to take an ac-

but Colonel Page. with the assistance
of the railroad officials, is prepared for
this and the Coxeyites will never pass

The admiralty has, it is said, decided
to draft into the navy fifty junior officers
and 900 men of the royal naval reserve,
to be enrolled and serve on for pension.
This is to be tried as an experiment in
view of the personnel of the navy being
10000 men short of the requirements as
guaged by the existing material It has
therefore been decided before rearranging

how far the proposed plan will succeed,
