BERLIN CABLE LETTER.
French and German Army In
ciease.-The Won Tausch
Trial.

Berlin, Jan. 2.-(Copyright,
1897, by the Associated Press,)
The news received here from
Paris that the secret council of
war has ordered a large in
crease in the cadres of the
army, by which AS new battal
ions of infantry will be carried,
has thoroughly aroused opinion
here and especially in view of
the announcement that the
French artillery has already
been re-armed with quick firing
guns. France will have los
more battalions on a peace
footing than Germany, and the
German military authorities
now intend to hasten the equip
ment of the army ofnew Krupp
quick firing guns at an expense
of 26o,oOO,Ooo marks. The
German navy is being rapidly
provided with the same type
of guns, not only in the case
of new vessels, but on board
old vessels.
The preliminary investiga-
ton into the case of Herr Won
Tausch, the former commits
sioner of detectives, who IS
charged with perjury, ETC., has
assumed larger dimensions
than at first expected, due to
the special order of Emperor
William that nothing be over
looked. Besides being tried
on four charges ofPe1ury, Won
Tausch will also be tried for
lese majestic, committed joint
ly with Norman Schumann, a
newspaper man of this city.
The whereabouts Of the latter
IS at present unknown, though
he is supposed to be in Con
stantinople. The relations OF
Won Tausch with the press
will be thoroughly gone into.
Six editors and correspondents
have already been summoned
as witnesses. Incidentally the
charges of SANDER and lese
have been Formulated
against Her Hardin, editor of
the Zukenft, based on com
ments on the Won Taush case.

Drive Your Own WAGON tn the Bank.

From the Lexington (Ky.) American:
A lew years ago a well-to-do but ex-
travagant farmer, living out on the
Russell Cave pike, went to Mr.. Hart
Boswell and asked him to see his
brother Dave. of the: Northern Bank,
and tell him that he wanted to borrow
$4,000, and tell him that it would be all
o. X. etc. MI. B. told him that he
would not do it, but gave him the fol-
lowing tip: II see you or your wife
calling negroes out of the field two or
three times a day to hitch your rigs
up to go to Lexington, and see you
stop hands from their field work to
drive lead of corn to market. You
stop all this foolishness and drive
the wagon of corn yourself, then go to
the bank and ask for what you want"
The man went according to directions,
and after he had sold his corn he went
to the bank and asked for the $4,000.
Mr.. R. T. Anderson. one of the direct
ors, was present, and without asking
any questions, said: ANY man who
drives his own wagon can borrow all
the money he wants at the Northern
Bank" This little transaction changed
this mans condition in life, and he was
no longer a money borrower.

She Married and Then Rode AWAY.


From the Walla Walla Statesman:
A young man, the accepted lover of a
buxom maiden, after securing the
necessary papers was united in mar
riage last Sunday to his adored. The
ceremony over, the bride of 16 locked
herself up in her bedchamber. The
groom could not fathom this proceed
ing and made strenuous efforts to get
at the cause of the trouble through the
keyhole of the door, but to no avail.
Next morning the wife applied to her
spouse for the use of his cayuse. and
also asked for little money. Both
requests were granted by the loving
husband, and he has not seen his wife
since.
The story is current that this fair
maiden has an unkind father whose
treatment of her became unbearable.
and to get beyond his jurisdiction she
planned the marriage The father
gave her away on the marriage day,
Thereby relinquishing all control over
her future actions, and as soon as the
wedding was over the fair maiden, not
caring a straw for her husband. de-
parted to parts unknown.

when 1 Was a Girl.

when I was a girl" said Comfort
Bulge, I'VE didn't care how poor a man
was if We thought he was honest and
true. The girl of today is willing to
take chances on honesty and faithful
ness If she only knows the size of q
mans bank account. If man was
pale and thin we thought he must be
consumptive. Nowadays such a. man
is called interesting and the girls rave
over him. We didn't dare accent invi-
.tations .tot Coney Island or to the Ca
sino for luncheon for fear somebody
we knew might see us there. The mod
ern young woman doesn't care to 60
any place where everybody won't look
at her.. If we got into mems smoking
room by mistake we blushed and said.
Excuse me-, and retired. We didn't
crowd into the smoking seats on the
open cars and scowl at the men who
were enjoying their cigars. When we
had photographs taken we gave them
only to our intimate friends. We didn't
send them to newspapers with a de-
scription of our costumes when we
went to ball.
