ARMS FOR NATIONAL GUARD
Gen. Flagler Urges That Newest

Made Ut Once.


The report of Brigadier General D. W.
Flagler, Chief of Ordnance, 10 the Secre-
tary OF War, is, as usual, an important and
comprehensive document, largely occupied
with details. He again urges that ehe
seryiceable and absolete arms now IN the
possession of state militia be withdrawn
aud allowance made for tLeir estimated
value and new and serviceabie arms substi-
tuted therefor.
He recommends that the National Guard
shodld be uniformly and Immediately armed

BLOOD-RED LAKE.
Periodical Popularity of Sheet of
- Water in Switzerland.

fer1OCical Peculia rtty of a Sheet of
Water in Switzerland.
Lake Morat in Switzerland, has queer
habit of turning red about two or three unIes
every ten years.
1t is "a pretty lake, like most of the sheets
of water in that picturesque country, and
Its peculiar freak is attributed to q disposi-
ton TO celebrate the slaughter OF the Eur-
gundians under Charles the Bold on June
u, 1476. t'- -.
But the French say that 1t bushes for the
conduct of the Swiss, who, in that battle
gave the Burgundians quarter. This
year it was redder than ever, and had a sin
lister appearance when the setting sun iilumi-
mated its waves.
This phenomenon, of course, has its le-
gend. The old fishermen OF the lake, who
catch enormous fish called silures that
weigh between 20 and 40 kilograms, say
when they see the waters OF the lake redden-
ing that it is theblood ofthe Burgundians.
AS matter of fact, some OF the bodies OF
the Burgundians killed in the battle We're
thrown into the lake, while others were
tossed into grave filled with quicklime.
This historical recollection angered the Bur
gundian soldiers of the victorious armies OF
the republic In 1898 SO much that they de-
stroyed the monument raised in honor OF
their compatriots, who fell heroicafy il
that battle, and Henri Martin very justly re-
preached them for that act of vandalism.
1t would hardly do to attribute the red
dening of the waters OF the lake TO the blood
of the soldiers OF Charles the Rold. The
coloring isdue simply to the presence in large
quantities OF aquatic plants called by nat
uralists oscillatoria rubescens The curious
thing about II is that Lake Morat is the only
lake In which this curious growth is devel-
oped, and this popularity is beginning 10

FROM PULPIT TO SALOON
Dominic in Jersey City Gives Up
Preaching and Now Draws Beer.
Disgusted With Small Salary and Poor
Pay, He Turns His Genius Success
fully to the Serving OF Drinks.

New York, Nov. 27.-The Rev. Julius
Feicke of Jersey City, who resigned from
the pastorate OF the First German Evangeii-
cal Reformed Church, on September 81, has
secured liquor license and opened saloon
at the northeast corner of Fifth and Garden
streets, in Hoboken. He was, while in the
pulpit, reckoned good preacher. In the
saoon he is a good barkeeper.
Mr.. Feicke says he does not think he can
do more good as saloon-keeper than as q
preacher, but he knows that he can make
more money, and that is the reason he has
changed his calling. Mr.. Feickc, as a
preacher, received S7O0 year and lie
wanted 81 900. Tie church was mort
gagged for $1,000. The trustees told Mr..
Feicke when lie asked for raise that he
couldn't havt it until the mortgage was
paid.
Mr. Feicke made an effort to SECURE the
money necessary TO pay the mortgage,
but he was not able 10 do it. He became
discouraged and decided tO go into q
more lucrative business. HesUon found one.
III. Wells wanted to sell his saloon. Mr..
Feicke wanted To buy it.
The trade was soon made. Mr.. Feicke
applied Tor a license. He secured IL with
out any trouble, and on November / Hobo
having man OF learning and piety draw
their beer for them. He drew good beer,
and soon worked up a good business. He
isn't sorry he abandoned the pulpit for
the beer pump.
The two sOns OF Mr.. Feicke. whose names
are shown on the window. assist him about
the saloon. Otto. who is fifteen years old,
candraw a glass OF beer as well as his IA ther.
He is a bright. rosy-cheeked boy. Herman
is employed by day in Brooklyn. On busy
nights the father and his sons are all In the
saloon.
''How's business" inquired reporter of
Mr.. Felcke last evening.
ut vOs goot und it vos not goot," replied
the ex-minister.
Have you retired permanently from the
pulpit. Mr.. Feicke?'' continued the reporter
Mr.. Feicke said he couldn't tell. Some
times he thought so and sometimes not.
'You see. it was like this: There was
the grocer and tho butcher and the rent
that was S25-and car fare. and more be-
sides. / asked them for more, and they
said they could not give it. and left
There was more money here, and good
money"
The neighbors say that the saloon is one
of the best places of business in the vicinity.
They buy beer there. they say, because
they get good beer and good measure,
served by a goood man.

They Have Lively Experience
Through q New York Detective.
a New York detective hal peculiar ex-
perience In one of the older and quieter
streets of Harlem, east, uu Monday night.
While on bis way Ia his residence in one
Of the inhabited streets "f Harlem he no.
ticed n man suspiciously walking along
apparently looking for some one.
The detective watched. and presently an
other man came along. and after short
discussion the two walked rapidly away
along the street. In the middle Gf the
block they entered a deserted flat.
The detective watched and waited, and
in a few minutes both men came cut. and
one of them carried in his hand a pad
upon which there was something written.
SuspectiDg that all WAS not well, the de-
tective. with strategic adroitness, cog
covered the two suspicious persons. and,
with a daring feaTlessness which resi-
dence on side street In Harlem does
much to develop, he placed gives. or hand
cuffs, upon the wrists nf the two delin-
quents and bore them in triumph tn the
nearest police station, where they were
arraigned as suspicious characters.
Imagine the surprise OF disappointment
and Chagrin of the detective when his two
prisoners were hunorably discharged With
many expressions rf regret by the sergeant
at the desk that they should have been
thus ineommnded. 1t turned out that they
were not suspicious characters and that
the commission of crime was a thing
furthest from their thoughts.
They were canvassers employed by a
real estate agent to make a canvass uf
the model flats nf Harlem which were
untenanted. The one which they had
entered was the only one on the block
i'll which light was burning. They wished
TO satisfy themselves whether there were
any tenants in it. There were not. One

WHAT WILL BECOME OF TIE YOUNG
MEN OF THE DAY?

Cigarette. smoking is one of the evils
which is fast increasing among the young
men of the period. It is an age of nervous
ness; nervous excitement, nervous weak
ness and debility is the growing nialady of

cesses or abuses over excite the already
enfeebled nerves and re.dlt IN eKhausting

It's drag and h,ndicap to every
young man to be sufferer from nervous
debility or weakness, low spirits, irritable
temper, impaired memory, loss Of will
power, and the thousand and one 6erange-
rnents of mind and body that result from
perricious habits often contracted through
ignorance of natures laws. The wreck of
constitution, weakened vitality and manly
power following such habits would be
sorry ending to life in this splendid age of
learning and labor. 1t will fast become an
age ofunsettled brains and shattered nerves
unless our young men kno.0 themselves.
To reach, reclaim and restore such
unfortunates to health and happiness, is
the aim of the publishers of book of
1000 pages, profusely illustrated, written in
plain language, on the nature, symptoms
and durability by home treatment, Of such
