His Limit.

The cavalry soldier of the Confed-
crate army furnished his own horse.
If it was killed or disabled, it became
necessary for him to leave the front
and go after another mount. When
a man wanted a furlough, he had
only to swap his horse for one that
was broken down and then apply for
leave of absence.
Gradually there grew up a kind of
brokerage system of horse fur
loughs," as they were called. So
writes an old cavalry officer, who
tells this amusing story of a man
who wished to buy such a furlough
and to that end put himself in COM
munication with a friend in the bri-
gade camp.
THE price is $50, I know" he
writes, but l am willing to pay a
little more if necessary. l want it as
low as possible, and anyhow you
must not pay more than 800. That
is my limit"
At that point he seems to have
been taken by a new acces of home
sickness, for he added:
IF it cannot possibly be bought tor
800, I shall be compelled to give as
much as 1925, though you must dis.
tinctly bear in mind that my limit is
500.

Young Blood In business,

"Traveling as I am" remarked q
stantly from city to city, I have oc-
casion to remark the characteristics
of trade centers, and I
want to impress upon you this n
fact, that the growth of our modern
American cities is due to young men.
You may argue to the contrary, but
this one thing holds good, that when
a city begins to grow and improve it
is either a very young and new site
or the elder population have begun
to drop off. Every city on the cont
nent will afford the positive or mega
tive view of this fact-either old men
are living to sci the unbroken
tenor of their business way or the
young men have stepped in their
shoes to scatter the careful policy to
the winds and venture upon new
schemes. Old men live to save and
young men to spend.
"Acity usually passes through pc
RODS of 80 years of quiet progress and
then 20 years of rush. This comes
from the fact that the 20 years of
rush constitute the early business
lives of young men just come into in
herited wealth, and the last 80 years
mark the period of solemn thought
and the desire for absolute security
in the matter of general wealth. New
cities are examples of places where
conservatism has never been, because
old men have not focked there to
make their fortunes. Old cities with
a period of progress come upon them

Women OH tho Crossings,

Did you ever watch women cross
the street2 There is the sweet young
thing who picks her way even though
the stones be swept bright and clean.
She always possesses small feet and
wears pretty shoes and smart gowns
and has an appealing look in her eye
when she starts over. The policemen
always help her, though they know
she needs no help, and she knows
they know it. But that makes no
difference at all. The men always
stop OF the curbing to see if she
reaches her destination all right.
Then there is the business young
woman who plunges into the fray in
awful observation-disclosures. Sometimes
she picks up her dress skirt, but she
usually forgets all about it, and her
shoes + not new anyhow. The po-
licemen know they ought to helpher,
and she gives them fearful shocks
because they know she is doomed to
be run down n day, and they only
hope it will be on the next fellows
crossing. 1t all comes of her having
her mind occupied. A woman with
an occupied mind is bound to upset
things.
And finally there is the poor, little
timid woman who is deathly afraid
of truck horses and is shabbily dress
ed and liable to heart disease. She
gets across anyhow-no one knows
just how, because the first two vari,
cites take up all the attention Phil

He Showed Them How.

Captain J. R. Kenly, in his "Mem.
oirs of a Maryland Volunteer" de.
scribes with evident satisfaction a
little scene in the city Of Jalapa dur.
ing the Mexican war. The United
States troops were in garrison in the
town. Everything was quiet, and
the inhabitants and the soldiers were
on very good terms. One day the
captain noticed a soldier looking with
great interest at some native masons
laying brick. They we're at work
upon a platform elevated perhaps q
dozen feet from the ground, up to
which a man was carrying mortar
upon his head on a square board in.
stead Of a bod.
The masons stood Immediately in
front Of the wall they were construct.
ing, placed each brick separately on
it's bed, used a plumb line, square,
etc., to see that each brick was cor.
rectly aligned and occupied as much
time in laying half a dozen bricks as
an American mechanic would use in
laying a hundred.
Captain" said the soldier, may ]
go up and show those men how to
work?"
Certainly, if you are a bricklayer.
He mounted the platform, one OF
the Mexicans gave him his trowel,
and he went to work, the Mexicans
looking on with the greatest interest
and admiration. No doubt they prof.
tied by the lesson.

| When Louis Napoleon was president
Of the French republic, the command
er at Lyons was General Castellane,
an old soldier, whose stern rule kept
in check the Red Republicans Of that
disorderly city. 1t was a time when
courage ON the part of the people
might have spared the French nation
from the long humiliation of the sec
ond empire. Unfortunately for them,
the nerve was enlisted on the side of
the man who afterward became en-
peror, and the Republicans could
boast much, but do little.
One of the most radical and bolster
GUS of the Republicans of Lyons was
a barber, who openly boosted that he

Kidding the city Of its stern com

threat, and one afternoon ordered his
coachman to drive to the BARRIERS
shop. Leaving his carriage, the gen.
eral, unattended, entered the shop,
took a seat in a vacant chair and de-
sired the barber to shave him. The
astonished braggart performed the
operation as well as his nervousness
would permit. When he had finished,

OUR LEGS TO VANISH.

DIR. Emil Young, professor of physioI-
ocv at the University of Geneva, is IN
great distress concerning the future OF
our legs. He suggests, in an essay III
The Semaine Litteraire, that in course
of a thousand years the human race may
have lost the necessity for the use OF legs
and retain those members of the body
solely as ornamental survivals. Men
refuse more and more to walk, though
walking lis the wholesomest OF
physical exercise. Steam, electnAty'
the rope railway, tricycles and
bicycles have changed thewhole
aspect of Swiss touring, as he
saws, in his own generation. every
body seems anxious to get everywhere
any way except by the use of his legs"
In another generation, he supposes,
our travelling balloons will hang outside
our windows, or our electrical coaches
stand outside our doors. They will be
produced so cheaply that every man
will have his own chariot. Hence, our
legs will become superfuous. Then
they will be crippled and shrink to
hideously small dimensions until at last
they will finally disappear. Our arms,
on the contrary, will correspondingly
strengthen. "While our legs remain, y
says DR.. Young, "let us march all we
can"

Editorial We.

Somebody who wants to explain what
the editorial ''we" signifies says it has
a variety of meanings, varied to suit the
circumstances. For example: When you
read that 1--WE expect our wife home to-
day." 'we" refers to the editor-in' chief;
when 1t is, 'we are little late with our
work" it includes the whole office force,
even to the devil and the towel; ''we are
having BOOM" the town is meant; 1--WE
received over 10000 immigrants last
YEAR, embraces the nation; but 1--WE
have hog cholera in our midst" lonly
means that the man who takes tie
paper and does not pay for it is very i'll.
There aren't nearly as many "we's' in
the newspaper business as there were ten
