KNOWN BY HIS SCARS.
That Is the Way Uncle Sam Keeps Track
 Of His Enlisted Men.


 Of His Enlisted Men.
 While a good many people know ill q general way of the Bertillon system for the identification of criminals, com paratiyely few know of the simple method which Uncle Sam has been using for number Of years past to keep track of the men who eat his rations and wear his uniform in the regular army The system employed by the war department might be termed the nat ural method and is at once simple and ingenious. It Goes away with all ap- paratus except a vertical measuring rod and pair of scales. It is known as the scar system" and has been found wonderfully effective.
 There is an unwritten theory in the army that every man who enlists will at some time or other desert. This is net entirely true. but the assertions are numerous enough to make it worth while to keep track of the offenders. In war the penalty for assertion IS death, but in peace 1t is a long term of impris- onment, and the subject is liable to pun- ishment no matter how long term has elapsed since his offense was committed. strange as 1t may seem, the men who desert most readily are the ones who straightway go back and enlist again, though usually in some remote section of the country.
 The recruiting card, as it is called, IS big enough to contain two 6 inch outlines of mans form. front and rear view, with good sized border for mar ginal notes. When the recruit is strip ped for his physical examination, he is gone over from head to foot, and every appreoiable scar or permanent skin blemish is recorded. Its location is ac- eprately noted by dot on the card, and its description is written on the mar gin. Tie hands and face usually have the greatest number of scars, but those on the body are apt to be the more pronounced and characteristic, as it is usually more severe wound that pene- trates the clothing and leaves its record on the flesh beneath. Meles are also noted, their color and dimensions, and other birthmarks or hlemishes that would not ordinarily disappear with time
 The question may arise as to what if man have no scars, moles or birth marks. That would be enough to identi- fy him, for in all the thousands of men who have been cataIogued by the de- partment there has never been one who bore less than three clearly defined scars, while seven or eight is the more usual number, and there are some cases where the number runs up to 30 or 35 Further, SO infinite are the chances of combination that there have never been two individuals whose height, weight and the number and location of their scars came anywhere near ooinoiding. - Washington Star.

THE Little Rock Tribune morali2es


 THE Little Rock Tribune moralizes as follows: My son, follow not the footsteps of a loafer, nor example of Linn born tired, for verily I say unto you their business is over stocked, the seats on the corner are taken and whiting places are occupied. Itis better to saw wood at two-bits cord than whittle in q loafing match and euss the government My son, while thou hast left in thy skull he sense of a jaybird, avoid the cig= arctic habit, for 10, thy breath stink eth like . glue factory and thy whole appearance is less intelligent than store dummy; thou art D ci- pher with the rim knocked off. ?

sin1,,s Work I.on.lnn.

To accomplish any substantial result in slum work in London, woman must not only give time and strength but life itself Miss Meredith Brown, the English .philanthTopist, who has been the champion of the factory girls for some years, says that women who know only the slums of New York and Chica- go have no conception of the horrors and misery of the slums cIoge to the aristo- cratic parts of London. The girls which Miss Browns special mission reaches are so rough and lawless that the Sal vation Army would not take them in, and the directors Of mission which had invited the girls to tea refused to allow them into the building again. The girls came to the feast with pillow slips under their aprons and snatehed everything to eat off the table before their hostessss could stop them.
 Finally the courageous women inter- ested in the welfare of these young semisavages decided that to reach the girls they would have to live among them. Ten dauntless women took up their residence in rickety old house in the very heart of all the misery and squalor which makes the wild girls what they are, and their efforts at last were met with more than an eneour- aging response. But it is very hard on the health, says Miss Brown. Two years will break down any one, so we have lost some Of cur best workers. ''- New York Commercial

A STATEMENT having recently been published to the effect that the negroes of Texas are preparing to emigrate to other states, the editor of the Galveston Neaos emphatically denies the statement and offers sub- stantial reasons to show that the re port is not true. He says,in the first place, that Texas 'possums are ripe in October, and the crop is better than that of all other States com blned. With the springs full of cat fish in the springtime, the summer filled with watermelons. the autumn and winter with 'possums and sweet potatoes, and all the seasons percol- ated with revivals, camp meetln's and "baptizin's, the Texas ne groes are the happiest mortals in this world all the year ronnd. It looks as if the Texan had the best of the argument.

MRs. MARGARET RAHER.

hft~Ss WNFNFtNtN%fN- y tNFNtfGls
Mrs. Frank Raher died suddenly OF
heart disease at eight o'clock Monday
evening, at her home on Erie avenue.
Without Il moments warning, she was
called upon TO answer the call that all
must answer. The Recording Angel
called the name OF Mrs Margaret Raher
and the soul OF truly Christian lady
answered.
The unexpected news Monday evening
was u shock 20 the whole town and
many doubted Mt FIRST, as loath TO
believe the report 81 the eternal de
parture Of a dear and revered friend.
At the time OF her death Mrs. Raher
was seated by the iircside in her home,
her husband sitting near her reading IL
newspaper He heard "a slight noise,
raised his eyes from the paper and saw
her sinking back in the chair. A moment
later he held ia his arms the corpse Of
his beloved wife.
She had been in poor health for about
five months previous to her death, but
not seriously I'D, and had been feeling
/ better during tbe week immediately
preceding her death than for many
months. Her illness was not such as to
coniine her to her bed or even TO her
home. She was able 10 be out and had
attended mass at the Guardian Angel
church the day before the sad occur
renee,
Deceased was one OF the pioneer ladies
ol Crystal Falls, having resided here
more than fifteen years. She was known
and loved as Il friend by almost every
person in the city. Her place in the
hearts OF the people OF Crystal Falls
! cannot soon bo filled. She was n true
Christian. Her Christianity was shown
not only in the church, but in all her
actions. For her kindness and benev-
o.ence she will never bc forgotten by
those who knew her best. Crystal Falls
mourns for one Of its truest women.
But il her friends mourn her SO, what
must be the awful feeling of loss and
loneliness that pervades the home that
has been thus suddenly bereit OF it's
leading spirit. The husband, Mr.. Frank
Raher, mourns II beloved wife, and
two daughters, Mrs. William james and
Miss Maggie Raher, mourn for kind
and loving mother.
Margaret O'Brien was born in Bare
heaven, Ireland, sixty-one years ago.
She was married to Frank Raher at
Houghton, Michigan, thirty.seycn years
ago, and came to Crystal Falls in
October 1881. Ter only surviving
children are Mrs William James and
Miss Maggie Roher Two step children
also survive her They are Mrs. Peter
McNally, Tacoma, Wash, and Patrick
Raher, who left the upper peninsula n
short time ago for the west, but who
had not yet written his whereabouts
and could not b. notified Of the death
Of her who had been a mother TO him in
his boyhood
The funeral occurred Wednesday
morning, ut 1920, from the Catholic
church, Of which deceased was a devout
member. High mnss was celebrated by
Rev Father Els Every available carri-
age in the city wns in the long cortege
that slowly and mournlully followed the
