Soldiers who Have Gone Into Certain Bat

Soldiers who Have Gone Into Certain Bat
ties Perfectly Conscious of Their Fate.
"Soldiers had strange premonitions Of
death before going into battle during
the war;" said an old soldier. 81 could
not tell you how many times have seen
my comrades foretell their death. They
seemed to feel 1t was coming and went
into battle fully prepared to meet their
end. SO common was this, and SO regu-
larly did death follow when foretold, that
often heard officers upbraiding their
men for speaking of death, remarking:
"A man never speaks of % fear Of death
without death following shortly after.
It's like the smallpox; the one that
breads it most is sure to be the first vic
tim. But the officers were reasoning
backward. In all the cases saw the pre-
diction of death was caused by an in
ward feeling, telling that his end was
near.
1T WASH fear, for remember Boss
Mcclellan, as we used to call him, who
came from Butler county. He had been

which he entered battle that some of
his friends remarked how changed he

trembling all over. They asked him
what was tho matter. Why ho re-

FRENCH ART OF TODAY.
Only the Genius of the People Keeps 1t
From Hopeless Debasement.

Only the Genius of the People Keeps It
From Hopeless Debasement.
For years all the art roads have led to
Paris. 1t is today the center Of the art
world, model of taste, skill and knowl-
edge as we'll as hotbed of eccentrici-
ties, mannerisms, stilted affectations
and small trickeries. 1t takes in the
world, takes credit for all its virtues
and is saddled with all its vices. 1t is
ruled by the quips and cranks of what
at times seems outrageous fortune; it is
magnifed and belittled; it is over
praised and underpraised; it seems to be
rising to lofty heights at times and then
again to be sinking into the mire. 1t is
at once the best and the worst art cen
ter in the world, crucible where all
elements mix, all become alloyed, and
yet all average up respectable grade
of amalgam. That which keeps it from
hopeless debasement is the art genius of
. the French people. Has that art genius
ever reached is apogee? Has it fulfilled
its mission and voiced the finer feelings
of France, as painting once did in Italy
and Spain? Did we accept tho exhibit
at the Worlds fair as criterion we
might think her day was about finished,
that her artists had said all there was
for them to say, but the representation
was inadequate
The French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiness displayed there, for
all the studio recitation, all the exag-
gerated realism, all the tawdry senti-
ment, and yet at heart they have little
sympathy with them. The academic
was foisted upon them early in life by
the example Of Italy and the misdirect-
ed energy of royalty. Poussin or Lebrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy up
held the academic because II smacked
Of heroism and the empire because II
fostered the military spirit, but the re.
public has barely tolerated It, and the
radicals have always hated 1t. It is the
bette noir of French art, against which
there has been q long series Of revolu'
tions. Why, if not that it fails to repre-
sent the Frenchp They are fond enough
of talking about such loyalists as Pous
sin, David. Ingres and Cabanel, but the
men they love are the rebels, Vatican,
Fragonard, Delacroix, Millet, Corot
Courbet. The vivacious, the decorative
the emotional, the sentimental the posi-
tive-all these they love because they
are national characteristics, but the
mock heroic, the grandiloquent, thu
bombastic, have been more the result o.
foreign imitation than the outcrop o.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
The Most Highly Priced of All the surviv-
ing Orders of ChivnIry.

OF all the orders of medieval chiv-
airy which have survived the shock of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm of
1889, that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage. Students of the history of the
art or science of heraldry will learn
with interest and pleasure that, the Or
der of the Toison dor of Spain having
been conferred ON the Duke of York, his
royal highness was on Tuesday invest
ed, at Marlborough House, with the in
sigma of the order by the Prince of
Wales, himself knight of the order,
acting in the name of the queen regent
and on behalf of tho young king of
Spain. The secretary of tho Spanish
embassy, as chancellor of the order, read
the royal commission creating the duke
knight, and the august ceremony was
also attended by the Duke of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha and the Due d'Aumale as
knights of the order, and by the Span
ish ambassador and the Earl of Kimber-
ley, her maiesty's secretary of state for
foreign affairs.

Originally the robes of the order,
which was founded in 1920 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool, and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that the
golden fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the flocks reared on his vast
estates in Flanders. Be it as it may,
the woolen costume was changed in
1473 at a chapter held at Valenciennes
for the more costly materials of velvet,
taffeta, damask and gold embroidery. -

CATCH QUESTIONS.
Some Puzziing Queries That Appear Not
Hard to Answer.


Hard to Answer.
If agoose weighs 10 pounds and half
its own weight what is the weight of
the goose? Who has not been tempted
to reply on the instant 10 pounds? the
correct answer being, of course, 20
pounds. 1t is astonishing what very
simple query will sometimes catch q
wise man mapping. Even the follow
ing have been known to succeed:
How many days would it take to cut
up piece of cloth 90 yards long, one
yard being cut off every day?
A snail climbing up pole 90 feet
high ascends five feet every day and
slips down four feet every night How
long will the snail take to reach the top
Of the postf
A wise man having window one
yard high and one yard wide, requiring
more light, enlarged his window to
twice its former size, yet the window
was still only one yard high and one
yard wide. How was this done?
This is u catch question in geometry,
as the preceding We're catch questions
in arithmetic. The window was dia-
mond shaped at first and was afterward
made square.
As to the two former, perhaps it is
scarcely necessary seriously to point out
that the answer to the first is not 80
days. but 40, and to the second not 90
days, but 16, since the snail, who gains
one foot each day for 10 days, climbs
on the sixteenth day to the top of the
pole and there remains. .-Pittsburg Dis

SITTING BULLS DEATH.
The Killing OF the Chief Brought About by
His Sons Taunt.


"Did you ever know just how Sitting
Bull was killed." asked Lieutenant
Baker of the Twelfth infantry, U. S. A.
81 do not Think" he continued, "the
details were ever printed l never saw
them, and l was there"
tell it, as near as it can be recalled,
as the lieutenant told it.
Sitting Bull was at his shack with his
sons, near Standing Rock agency, when
he was sent for TO come into the agency.
Tho Indian police were commissioned to
bring him in, and when an Indian po-
liceman gets that order and finds his
man he brings him, dead or alive, un-
less the man gets the drop first. Sitting
Bull was disposed to obey the summons,
but one Of his sons, as naughty an In
dian MS ever lived. taunted the old man
for his weakness. He called him o
squaw, and that epithet to an Indian
brave is the cap sheaf Of all that is de-
risive. The old man weakened under the
boys taunts, and tho Indian police did
the rest. Sitting Bull was all that his
admirers claimed for him. When he
fell, the boy who had taunted him
crawled under tho bunk where the old
man had slept. He was there when
Shavehead, an Indian from the agency,
came in. He heard the story. He liked
Sitting Bull, and when he was told that
the boy had taunted his father and was
the cause Of his death Shavehead said
the boy deserved death, and he was
dragged out from under the bed and
killed. These details Lieutenant Baker
says he never saw in print. Chicago
