"l don't think any nation pays more
attention to military affairs than Ger
many, " said IA German citizen Things
of seeming little importance connected
with the army are Investigated with the
greatest pains. Many years ago the mat
ter of boot heels was taken up. What
height Of heel was best for the infantry?
A commission was appointed. One heel
after another was tried, and a record Of
how far the soldiers could march day
in each was kept. Years piled on years,
the commission carrying on the inyesti-
cation with the care and exaetitude of q
chemical analysis. Constant improve
ments were made, and the distance an
army could march i'll a day was thereby
increased. At length the suggestion of
a heel partly made of rubber was put
forth. It was ied--instantaneous sue
cessl 1t was found that a regiment using
such heels could march onet third farther
day and with less fatigue than when
the investigation was begun. A small
thing that to begin with, but what an
important part tho improved heel would
play In warr'--Lonisville Courier

IHE HAYWARD DEFENSE
THE Evidence of Miss Wachtler,
! the Stenographsr, Admitted.
BLIxT DENOUNCED AS A LIAR.
The Evidence of tho Witness, Which Was
Positive In Its Nature, Remains Unshaken
by Gross. s.Examlnatlon-Harry Hayward
! In Good Humor.

3, by Gross, s,Examinatlon-Harry Hayward
In Good Humor.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 19.-"How does 1t
look now, old mani" asked Harry Hay
ward after court adjourned last evening,
as he slapped friend on the back and
laughed heartily. He was in good hui
mos. After four long weeks of trial the
defense had at least made mark with
the testimony of Maggie Wachtler, tho
stenographer, tho state having withdrawn
Its objections to her testifying.
Miss Wachtler was voluble, positive,
and could not be shaken by cross examina-
tion. She called Blixt a liar, Odell
schemer to make money out Of the county,
and Assistant County Attorney Hall,
bulldozer and intimidator OF women.
Whom she had written Blixts confession,
she said, 1t was substantially the same as.
already published, with the exception that
Adry Hayward, not Harry, was his EN-
ployor.
Mrs. W. w. Hayward, the mother OF
both boys, came into court to hear her
elder son again accused of the crime from
the lips of the woman who was to impeach
the testimony of Blixt. She took 1t
calmly, although there was look of sat
tsfaction upon her face as she heard tho
witness testify and heard how Mr., Nye
failed to shake her. Harry was jubiiant,
but controlled himself, yet often he would
burst out into uncontrollable laughter as
Miss Wachtler would make an unusually
savage thrust at Mr.. Odell or Mr. Hall.
After court adjourned Mr., Hall stated
shat there was not word Of truth in
what she had stated about him. In her
evidence she said that Hall had called on
her, and attacked her character in Il most
abusive and scandalous manner
"Why, our meeting was most pleasant" !"
aaid Mr.. Hall "Do they think | am u
fool, to talk the way she says to n woman ~
For the sake of impeachment Mr. Hall
asked the witness il she had not told John
A. Olsen that II he would go to tho defense
and tell them he knew something about
tho murder case he would make plenty Of
money. She denied il fatty. Sho was
asked II she did not threaten Mr.. Odcll to
make it hot for him, and If she did not say
she had been offered money for Blixt's
statement She WAS also asked il she did
not tell Olsen that she knew something
about the case, for 0dell said something
5ust as they were going out of Blixts cell
She denied all this ilatly. The other wit
nOsses Of the day were unimportant.
