A Painters Conscience,

In the course of some "reminiscences
of Sir Edward Burne-J ones a CORE
spondent of The Westminster Gazette
remarks: Those who are not offended"
by the paradoxes of Charles Lamb would
have delighted in Burne-Jones' play Of
humor and imagination. Let me justify
my reference to Charles Lamb.
1 once returned to Burne-Jones some
books which he had lent me 80 years
before, writing to him to the effect that
if it was base to keep borrowed books
so long it was heroic TO return them aft
tr such long possession as might we'll
breed the sense of ownership. In reply
he said:
"The return Of those books has sim
ply staggered me, 1t has also pained
me, for it seems to raise the standard
of morality in these matters and per
haps to sting the susceptible con<iences
of book borrowers. 7 have many bor-
rowed books ON my shelves. 1 would
rather the owners should die than that
I should have to think about these
things and return them. 1 have two
costly volumes that were lent to me be-
fore that little incident Of ours, which,
you may remember, was in Red Lion
square. hope the owner is no more,
for simply will not give them up.
And you have made me uneasy and
have helped to turn an amiable rascal
into a confirmed villain. Your affec-
tionate NED"

A Brave BritOn.

When the attack was made on Sidon.
during the war with Syria, it became
necessary for the British troops to ad-
vance across long, unprotected bridge,
in the face of battery Of six guns,
which completely commanded the ap-
proach. The men were unwilling to ex-
pose themselves to certain death, when
Arthur Cumming, carefully dressed in
full uniform, stepped forward to the
middle of the bridge. 1t was immedi-
ately swept by the fire Of the battery.
When the smoke had rolled away, there
stood Cumming intact carefully brush
ing the dust from his boots, after which
he stood erect, fixed a single glass in
his eye and looked back at the men.
This was too much, and they captured
that bridge and battery with whoop

Edouard Remenyi, the great violinist,
used to say that some of the hardest

and met with reception that warmed
my heart toward her people. Among
other things, this appeared in one Of

him of my inability to grasp the mean

expression was intended TO be compli-

He kindly read it and replied,
We'll, / should snicker.
Il was more bewildered than ever,
and from that time on made the study
of slang one of my chief occupations.

Naval Desertions In Fort.

Few people have any idea of the
number of descrtions from warships

we'll known naval officer who is sta.
toned in this city. Sometimes as
high as 20 Or 80 men take French
leave, and, despite the offer OF S2o
reward for the arrest of each man,
they are seldom apprehendod. There
does not exist dissatisfaction on
board any of the ships, and the
fault lies in the fact that men OF
foreign birth, without recommends.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The follow

camps in the south, recommended bv
the Schwann board, sent south for
that purpose, was posted at the war
department to-nis ht:

commended: augusta, Ca, Columbia,
s. C., Greenvil!e, S. c., Spartanburg,
5: e., Atlanta, Ga, Athens, Ga,
Macon, Ga, Columbus, Ca, and Al
bany, Ga"
These are the camps at which all
the volunteer troops, not sent to the
front, will be Quartcrcd for the winter,
in accordance with the decision .. Il
department to transfer the troops IN
northern camps to the south when the
cold weather begins. The selections
were made by a special army board,
headed by Gen. Schwann, with Sur
geon o Reilly and Col. IIodgson as
associates.

urging Augusta, Ga, as a site for q
military camp. The committee present

gcs of Augusta, pointing out that the
proposed site was high and healthy,
and that an abundant water supply
could be obtained from the Augusta
water works, while the camp could be
lighted by the electric system of the
city. AS to drainage and other fea-
lures the secretary was assured the
proposed site was perfect. They found
that the representations made we're
borne out by the report of General
Schwann, who is president of the board
of camp inspection. The further fact
that Augusta is central point for
headquarters. within easy reach of the
other camps was also made prominent
by the committee.
While no official information on the
subject is forthcoming, it is said the
selection of sites for camps in the
south has been practically determined.
