A reporter Of the Providence News was

he handed her, put 1t in the cuff of her jacket

NAME CHANGING Is COMMON.

Swedes, Like Witness in the Bran Case,
Take New Name When They Wish.
With regard to legal and street talk on
the name or names of the helmsman of
the barkentine Herbert Fuller it is timely
and interesting to note what an authori-
tative writer on Sweden says about the
custom of changing names in that coun-
try. The helmsman in the Bran murder
trial is known by at least two names, JUS
tus Leopold Westberg and Charlie Brown.
He has said that he took the latter name
because certain persons found the former
hard or inconvenient 10 pronounce, and
this averred change of cognomen has re-
Gently raised up considerable discussion if
not suspicion.
Charlie Browns explanation is sup
ported in general by the following extract
from Pictures of Life in Sweden" by
Mrs. Woods Baker, printed in New York
in 1894. Beginning on page III, her book
runs:
"You must never look askance at a
Swede in America because he has changed
his name, even two or three times, before
he has been fairly satisfied with his selec-
ton. There is no shadow with him of an
alias that has left bad deeds behind it in
| the old county or the new. So the Swede
has seen men of respecta bilIty do at home,
! nobeman have done so on being en-
nobled. Linneus became Carl Won Lime,
and Sweden borg's father was Bishop
Swedborg.
THE frequency of the names ending in
SON and the prevalence of some of them
create great confusion in schools and uni
versities and even in the army and navy
among soldiers and sailors.

the company getting place Tor them.
The Sixth Infantry.

MERGED, CAL, Jan. 14.-The mem hers
OF Company II, Sixth Infantry, have set
tied down for another years work after
the Dece mber holidays and with deter
mination TO make showing for their
time. class in the drill regulations has
been organized, which meets on Tuesday
evenings for study and discussion. Ser
geant Guthrie has charge of the class. 1t
will take up study of the drillbook, sup
plemented by thorough practical drill
and practice in the giving OF commands.
The object of the class is primarily TO hit
the students for commits Nioned posi-
tions. Later, if sufficient mum Der desire
to take the course, it will be extended to
cover the elements of military science.
The resignation of Second Lieutenant
D. 6. Bam bauer has been accepted by the
commander-in-chlef and the election for
successor is expected to be ordered at an
early date.
Much interest is being manifested
among the mem bers of the company in
the doings of the Legislature. so far as the
National Guard is concerned. A member
of the company whose service in the
National Guard of this and other States
extends over a period of fifteen years said
10 the correspondent the other day: I'VE
are closely watching all propositions
brought before the Legislature on our be-
half and sincerely hope that whatever
action they make take Will be tempered
with wisdom. | notice some Ialk of fur
ther reorganization.
The spreading of such iieas will not
benefit us in the least. We want more
encouragement and attention from our
higher officers, and less tinkering with
badly built code. We have lately been
reorganized, and all we need is time to
get settled down TO the new regime. I'm
doubtedly there is friction in the First
Infantry; further legislation would not
help them, but it would hurt US in the in
terror reg ments, for we always suffer from
the scram bic for offices that is always go-
ing on in San Francisco. A few colonels
or general officers who would evince
personal interest in their fighting material,
and who would stop squabbling over who
is the senior or who has the pull, would
reorganize system that needs it more
than legislation. The life has nearly been
crushed out of the service by red tape
bunglingly unwound, and gilt braid pro-
fuseIy given here and there, regardless of
military ability. Enlisted men become
very tired of being apologized for when
ever an occasion presents itself by an
epauletted commission holder. II there
is to be any change OF law this session,
no hing could be better than the proposed
changes EN- bodied in the report of the
Code Commi ssion."

A TRUE SOLDIER.
Although Badly Shot Up, He Was True
to the Old Flag


to the Old Flag.
A visit from Norman S. Bull, clerk of
the Circuit Court for Crawford County, re-
minded me of war incident we'll worth
telling. At the battle of the Wilderness,
in 1854, Sergeant Bull was shot in the
face, the bullet passing from one cheek to
the other. tearing off his upper Jaw, or So
nearly that it hung by brittle thread, as
it were. He walked off the field and in
due time brought up at Washington
hospital, remaining there until Septem-
Der, or four months, when he returned to
his regiment for duty.
A silver pIate had been adjusted to take
the place of the upper jaw, but it was
painful and worked but poorly. Captain
Thomas Kerr, later Northumberland,
was commanding the regiment, and he
said to Bull: "For the love of all that's
good Sergeant Bull, wnat are you back
mere for2"
"Oh, / came back 10 go on duty, cap
tain" Then happy thought struck the
captain, and he asked: "Look here, how
would you like to be division commssary
sergeant? You would have plenty of time
there to soak your hard bread and to cook
pancakes"
81 guess I'd like that. Can you get it
for me?"
"Ill try.'
Then Captain Kerr rode over to brigade
headquarters and proceeded to business,
after this fashion:
General, Sergeant Bull has come back.
As you know, his mouth is all shot to
pieces. He can't tear cartridges any
more, and to eat bareback is out of the
question. Can you get him in as com mis-
sary-sergeant at division headquarters p 'M
The general squinted, after the fashion
when question that he takes deep in
terest in comes up before him. and said:
"Tom''-he always called Colonel Kerr
Tom" when he didn't call him
"Chicken"-" Sergeant Bull is as
good soldier as the old regiment ever
had. Few men would have come back in
hts condition. l think you ought to
recommend him for a commission. He
will get along some way with his rations
if we Can relieve him from cartridge-tear-
ing"
That afternoon letter left camp signed
by Captain Thomas Kerr, commanding
the regiment, requesting that Sergeant
Norman S. Bull BE- commissioned lieu
tenant.
Two or three weeks later the commits
sion came and he served the balance OF
the war, or up to GraveIly Run, as an Off
Ger. He was wounded at Hatcher's Run
in February and again at Grayelly Run
the last day of March. he was shot five
times and three of the wounds were seri-
Gus ones. Those in his face MADE him
great sufferer for eighteen years, and re-
quired SO much attention, so much medi-
cal skill, that it used up nearly everything
he had. 1t cost the lieutenant something
to keep Old Glory in the breeze, but he
says that if he had 1000 lives he'd rather
see them id down than to see that flag
come down IN dis race. Chicago Times

company in the State for a supper, the
companies to exchange targets and to mn-
tually agree upon inspectors, etc. They
have admitted a number of new members
and have other applications on tlle, which
will be acted on Immediately.
The cavalry troop has also returned to
their drills and are also coming into form
rapidly. They are preparing for held

more than anxious to be supplied with
