SHEDDING BLUE CLOTHES.
Uncle Sans Boys Old Clothes Worn by
Younger Patriots.


From the Chicago Tribune: Soldiers
who have returned home and been
mustered out are shedding the blue
uniforms Of Uncle Sam. A large drop
ping off of men wearing the blue has
been noticeable since the chilly days
came and especially since Colonel
Young's First cavalry was paid off and
discharged at Fort Sheridan on Tues
day. The Chicago troopers proceeded
to get into clothes more suitable for
the chilly air, and the troopers FROM
the country took early trains for home.
But the uniforms will continue to do
service even after being discarded by
the men who wore them to the front.
Occasionally a blouse, a pair of leg
gings or a cavalry boot is to be seen
in the stock of a pawnbroker Some of
the soldiers get rid of the garments by
giving them to their own children or
their neighbors' boys. These young
sters delight in the blue clothes. They
wear them regardless of fit, adjusting
them as we'll as they may, with pins
and bits of string. They are particu
larly fond of the leggins, and a boy
with a pair of them is the envied of all
the juveniles in his circles. He can
trade them for any other valuables any
of the envious may possess. A canteen
is another favorite article from the
soldiers kit, but it is not always put to
good uses. Over on the west side one
day last week the police raided a can
rushing soiree in a secluded alley. The
receptacle the guests were using was
canteen that went through the cam
paign. The SLOUGH hats are also in
demand, especially amongst teamsters,
or young fellows who desire to put
tough edge on themselves. Besides

THE BREAKER.

In appearance he was about as COM

aged man, inclined to portliness. AS
the train moved on he discussed COM

that he was engaged in the tea trade.

oriental vases. His wife's brother was
frequently in my uncle's house, and
therefore these denominations had to

about this. l suggested that he should
sell them. The idea was. Of course,
absurd; he told me so. Nor, he said,
could he break them himself, for his
wifes brother would never forgive
him; nor could he ask his wife to break
them, because, although he had been
married fifteen years, he felt that re
did not know her we'll enough; nor
could he ask the servants to break
them, for that would encourage care
lessness and thriftlessness. That Is

YOUNG HEROINE OF A WRECK.
Texas Girl who Saved n Railroad SUPER
intendent from Death.

Texas Girl Who Saved "a Railroad SUPER
intendcnt from Death.
The authorities of the Houston and
Texas Central railroad are consider
ing how best to show their apprecia-
tion of the GOODNESS shown by Miss
Mae Mosse in a recent wreck on their
line at Chambers creek. A trestle gave
way at that point and portion of the
train plunged into the water. Super
intendent Daffan of the road was in
the car with Miss Mosse and both were
precipitated into the abyss. Mr.. Daffan
was at once pinned down to the floor
by broken seat. Water was pouring
into the car and the superintendent
would certainly have been drowned but
for assistance given him by Miss
Mosse. The girl was the only passen-
ger who kept a cool head. Exerting
all her strength, standing meanwhile
waist deep in water, she managed to
release Daffan to such an extent that
he was able to sit upright. Even then
the water was up to his chin, but rose
no farther, and so he escaped with life,
though badly injured. Miss Mosse,
seeing him in comparative safety, went
to the assistance of others and render
ed invaluable aid to a number of suf-
ferers. Miss Mosse lives in Denison,
is not quite IS years of age and was
on her way to take up her studies at
the Austin university when the acct
dent happened.

A Use for Linuefied Air.

II is reported that a new use has
been found for liquefied air, the posi-
billties of which have been matters Of
discussion among scientific men for
some time. According to the Mining
Reporter. a discovery was made recent
ly by which it is now practical to use
liquefied air in underground work, such
as mining, driving tunnels and sinking
shafts. 1t is said that under proper
conditions the liberation of air from
the liquid can be effective in general
ing power with which to run drills I'M
der ground, pumps, hoists, ETC., while
cool air can also be supplied In the
deepest mines. The liquid air can al
so be used in freezing soft ground,

and tedious. II there is any RELIABLE
ity in this reported discovery, and It's
success can be practically demonstrate
ed it will make new departure in tho
liz es of work named, and once again
make the genius of science the soul OF
