1t seems the Germans have a story to
match the charge of the light brigade at
Balaklava. equally magnificent, and a good
deal more like war than that laundering ex-
hibitfon OF course. George Bunsen, a son of
the famous German savant, tells the story
on the authority OF the Prussian officer who
carried the order to Auerswald, at the fight
OF Mars-la-Tour. 1t became necessary to
save the army at any sacrifice by gaining
time for more troops to come up. The gen.
eral IN command sent orders to two cav
airy regiments to advance; they were the
crack regiments of the Prussian service
The staff officer rode up to Auerswald, the
senior Of the two commanders, and told
him to advance against the French.
You are not serious" was the reply.
You do not mean me to attack the whole
French army?'
Il am serious; bring you positive orders
to do So"
Auerswald bowed and, sending for the
young prince Of Hohenzollern, ordered him
Immediately to ride on the field. The
young man said: Il have done nothing to
deserve this" and burst into tears. Auers-
valid replied: Your family has suffered
quite enough. I order you as soldier to

1t is matter OF some surprise that au-
thorities do not agree upon the site of ST.
Joseph. La Sale, in 1913, had established
a post at the mouth tiof st. Joseph river,
and this location for Fort ST. Joseph is
given by Parkman, BY Dillon's history Of
Indiana, 1913 edition. and by other histo-
rians. CharlevoiKr WHIP visited the post in

English and Frepch maps also give the In
terror location. But whichever site was
correct, it commanded Lake Michigan for
the puny craft that then sailed Its stormy
waters. i-f
The fort fell without resistance. There
were only few English soldiers present
They were perhaps surprised, through the
golden sealing of savage lips, until it was
too late to receive achievements from
Detroit True to their promises-for there
was a return journey to be made-the
spoils of the fort were divided among the
Indians who accompanied the expedition

unfurled the Spanish flag above the fort.
1t was the first and last time the gold and
crimson banner waved in the region of the
great lakes. And the time was brief. too.
Fearing an attack from Detroit, Don Pure
after few days rest, destroyed all stores
that had not been taken by his Indian al

which he had advanced, crossing the port
age from the st. Joseph to the Kankakee
perhaps at or near South Bend, Ind, and
retreating in southwesterly course across
the state of Illinois. He took with him the
British flag which he had captured at St.
Joseph, and presented it with fitting cere-
monies to Don Francisco Cruvat. Spanish
governor at ST. Louis
Franklin and his confreres representing
the American colonies at the peace DELHI
erations then progressing at Paris proved
equal to the situation. Spain and France
were actively seeking to pen up the Ameri-
can colonies along the Atlantic seaboard.
and to that end sought the cooperation
of Great Britain. But the latter country
judged that her claim upon the western
domain between the Alleghenies and the
Mississippi river would be better ceded to
the colonies than left to the Vaccinations
OF her European rivals, and quietly me-
gotiated the basis for a treaty with the
United States by which center lines
through the great lakes and through the
Mississippi river were made the respective
northern and western boundaries of the
new nation. And thus the shadow of
Spain was by shrewd diplomacy removed
from the prairies of Illinois and from the
mastery of Lake Michigan.

On Reporters.

In an address at New Orleans
Cardinal Gibbons referred to news
paper reporters as follows:
"If had one piece of advice to give
a public man more than another it is,
be frank with the reporter. 1t has
been my privilege and pleasure to come
in contact with and to know great
number of reporters. 1 have stead
fastly adopted policy of absolute
frankness with them, and / have yet
to have confidence betrayed. They
have never proved themselves unwor-
thy of the estimate placed on them as
gentlemen.
ut is the public man who conceals,
whose every act of concealment is per-
ceiyed by the reporters--for, in the
nature of their business they must be
quick to perceiYe-it is this very con-
cealment which induces the reporter
to further conduct his Investigations
and often to get wrong what had he
been in the confidence of the man
whose manner had provoked inYesti-
CATION, he would have understood and
written intelligently about. And it is
in this very manner that much of the
complaint against the reporters orig
mates. Tell the reporters the abso-
Lutte truth. Never deceive them"

Engineer of Fast Train Receives
n Fright which He Can't Forget.
"The nervous strain on the engineer
of a fast train Is something enormous"
said one OF them the other day. reports
the Detroit Free Press. Not only the
lives of the passengers are at stake,
but there is the constant fear of rum
ming over someone on the track. An
accident, no matter how innocent the
engineer, is always kind of hoodoo.
What was my first accident? / shall
never forget it. If It had been traced
on my mind with q streak of lightning

impression.
at happened one bright moonlight
night in November. We were spinning
over the rails at full speed across the
country where there were few people
passing at that time of night, when
looked out and saw the figure of man
living across the track not ten feet in
front of the engine. I stopped quick as
possible. but too late, of course. We
had run over him, and the lifeless body
was under the wheels. We got out to
look for him. and found his hat, piece
of his coat sleeve and one of his shoes,
but the rest seemed to be further back
under the train. backed up the en-
gine and got out to look again. There
lay the body. I nearly tainted when I
saw its distorted form. l felt like a

THREE TO THE PEN.
Judge Jones Passes Sentence on n Trio of
Men Convicted of Felonies.

In Common Pleas Court Thursday
Judge James gave his attention to SEN
fencing prisoners found guilty of var
ious offenses. Three of these were con
victed of felonies-Fred JOY, John
Rowland and Scotty Myers.
Fred Joy was found guilty of hav-
ing sustained incestuous relations
with his sister-in-law, Nancy Ann
Lee, a sixteen-ycar-old girl of rather
dull intellect He received a sentence
of three years imprisonment at hard
labor in the penitentiary. Joy has al
ready served term in Ohio's penal in
stitution and his second offense indi-
Gates that as citizen he is not desir-
able for any community.
Scotty Myers, one of the brightest
and nerviest law breakers ever brought
before the Washington county court,
was also given a sentence of three
years at hard labor in the "Pen." He
was convicted of the crime of having
burglars tools in his possession.
John Rowland, who is a pal of Myers
and was with him the night he tried to
rob Aug. Hille's store at Archer's Fork,
was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment.
The exciting capture of Myers and
Rowland will be remembered by our
readers. Receiving tip that on GER
tain night an attempt would be made
to rob Mr.. Hille's store Sheriff Mccall
lister went up to Archer's Fork and
caught the men red-handed. Myers
refused to surrender and received q
load of shot in his side, being subse.
quently chased through three states by
the Sheriff and captured in Pennsylva'

and game and intelligent criminal
He and Rowland are undoubtedly mem
bers of we'll organized gang of rob

ment on several charge and ifconvict'

Joseph IIatton, in his Cigarette Pa

humorist:
"Do you recall what pleasant. tam
talizing stutter Mark Twain has? It is
really not stutter, nor stammer, but
just drawl and hesitation. Charles
Lambs was a real stutter. Lord Dun
dreary's was u good imitation.
"The most captivating impediment
was that of Mr.. Travers, of New York.
Why, Mr.. Travers.' said lady, you
stammer more in New York than you
did in Baltimore 'B-b-bigger place.,
stammered Travers. "A chestnut!' you
say? Well. what of It? There are
ohestnuts and chestnuts. If you have
heard Mark Twain lecture you know
with what effect he uses his little Pc
cu.iarity Of speech. The point that
broke the general litter into hearty
laugh when first he appeared in town
was concerning that very cold noun
tain in Fiji, where, he said, 1T is so cold
UP there that people can't speak the
truth When the audience had done
smiling, he added: I know because I

Mr.. George Terrell, who is employed
as foreman of the Constitution Stone
Company, had narrow escape from
death by his own hand Thursday
night. He was found unconscious in
his stable with an empty bottle which
had contained laudanum beside him,
and it was only by prompt and intelli-
gent work that his life was saved. He
was taken in charge by q number OF
his neighbors and after several hours
of forced walking he began to recover
from the effects of the poisonous drug.
A stomach pump was sent from Belpre

Mr.. Terrell came up to Marietta
Thursday evening and returned on the

to talk of his troubles and said he had
