SHEPHERD IN 1T.

During the annual meeting of the
Northwestern Photo graphors' Associa-
ton here last week, our photographer
Harry Shepherd was right in bis ele-
ment and showed up to great advantage.
In fact ho took the third prize, and if
exact justice had been given DO would
have been awarded second place. How
ever he had the honor of being selected
to furnish the badges for the Association
He also got a resolution passed to have
the names Of the exhibitors unknown
and exhibits known 10 the judges only

CO lent work and his establishment is a
credit to the city and one in which we
all should take pride.

He came into the sanctum on tiptoe

that only the aroma suggested to the
editor that he was not alone.

more encouragement in his eye that
he might otherwise have done.

the stranger.

Wearer is filled with the most pleas

on is at once magnetiZed to a high de-
gree. It exhilarates the system
soothes the nerves and composes the
mind. One beauty about it is it's sus-
ceptibility to the effect of metals. A
man who puts on the magnetic shirt

dime before he walks half block. The

Trolley Car in War.

IL seems to me-" said the military
genius, that not enough attention is
paid to the possibilities of electricity
IN the science of perfected warfare.
they go on year after year inventine
guns that will batter down the strong
est forts and forts that cant be dam
aged by the heaviest guns, rifles that
will shoot five miles and bullets that
will cut tunnels in brick wall, and
yet they don't think of arranging for
some OF the most important points OF
modern battle
"You can have your long distance
guns and your fancy projectiles .ad
libitum, but you can't keep the troops
from coming together. AS long as
men are men and war is war there will
be hand-to-hand encounters, close
charges and actions calling for the use
of massed bodies of infantry and cav
airy. Yet the wise men seem to make
little provision for close work, and a
lively gang of good old-fashioned bay
onets could take a regiment of men
armed with the latest destroyers al
short range and jab the everlasting
buttons Off their uniforms before they
could get the mechanism of their fancy
rifles working properly.
There are lots of wrinkles that could
be introduced into the next war. ap-
prove of the various suggestions foY
the use of the bicycle. Bicyclists could
go almost anywhere that cavalry could
go and lots Of places that cavalry
couldn't, while a hedge Of bycles piled
in front Of a position would be absolute
ly safe against cavalry charges and
would stop bullets from hostile in
fantry. But my pet idea-one that can
be made winner-is the introduction
of modification of the trolley car.
If the trolley car, can kill it's myraids
in civil life why can't it kill it's thou
sands on the battlefield? Of course
there are other methods of electrical
propulsion-at any rate, the least of
the difficulties would be getting the
motive power. Then, the war cars
should be built on so broad model
they could not be tipped over, while
the wheels should be great rubber roll
lers. Armor them complete and they
would be ready for trouble.
ION the march they would take no
more room, cause no more trouble,
than the carriages Of the giant cannon
and could be made very useful as stor-
age cars for baggage and commissaries
In battle, when the field of action was
a level plain or ordinary slope, the
armored electric car would be a more
terrible implement of destruction than
the war chariots of old. At the right
moment twenty trolley cars turned
loose, hurled full in the faces of the
foe, would be more destructive than the
charge of a regiment of picked infan-
try. Imagine huge car on an open
field, going twenty miles an hour and
coming right at you as you stood in
rank before it's sweep. Where breathes

near the house he saw the baby car
