Miles Shaw and his sister, Miss Esta,
arrived from Chicago Tuesday on their
tandem. This is the second time they
have made the trip, which they accom-
plished with ease. The last time, how
ever, they made mistake by turning
off at the wrong road, and In conse-
quence were taken about thirty-five
miles ouv of their course. They expect
to make the return trip some time this
week. The tandem is easily propelled
and on the whole is better than horse
or automobile.

Virginia Cavalrymen i'm Plymouth.

Tuesday afternoon a regiment of
cavalry passed through here on special
train. During the interim in which the
engine stopped to take water many of
our inquistive citizens hocked TO the
depot to review the train and talk with
the boys. They had come from Fort
Meyer, Va, and were on their way to
San Francisco and from thence prob
ably to the Philippines. All were fine,
healthy looking fellows and will make
formidable foe for Aguinaldo and his
insurgents. BY far greater number
of cars were occupied by the horses
than by the cavalrymen. These ami
mails, as samples of Uncle Sans live
stock, made good showing. One of
the boys assured us that there was not
plug in the lot.

Then came the chorused roar, In
which he himself would stentoriously

of soldierly resignation and patience
was all that could be gotten out Of
him.
General Merritt is not only a sea-
soned warrior, but man of the world,
clever and observing. He is hand
some, direct, sincere and honest, lack
ing none Of the qualities that make
man successful no matter in what field
he is placed. His marriage in London
to beautiful young woman, his junior
by many years, was romantic iHci-
dent OF the early fall. ''All the world
loves lover" and the courtship and
wedding of this military hero did as
much to put the people of the country
in sympathy with him as his bravest
performance during either the civil or
last war.

The Ill-Bred General,

One could have dismissed with a
smile the man,mentioned by Coleridge,
who never spoke of himself without
| lifting his hat. Even the Scotch cler-
gyman who prayed, 20 Lord! gle us a
guide consait O. oursel's," would have
caused lifting of the eyebrows rather
than the furrOwing of the forehead.
1t is the vain. pompous, self-important
man that irritates. He stings like a
one persOn-himself.
An old story-it was told sixty-flve
years ago in Dunlap's History of the
Arts of Design"-shows that such ma
lures are controlled. not by tender
handed strokes. but by a usage as
rough as a nutmeg crater.
In the days Of the stage coach five
men once occupied the coach which
journeyed from New York to Boston.
One, General l., was so inflated with
self-impOrtance as to be unapproach-
able, and another was a sprightly
Frenchman who had no hesitation in
approaching anyone.
"Wer fine vedder, sairv' said he. ad-
dressing the general.
"Humphw grunted the American.
drawing himself up to his full stature,
six feet two.
The Frenchman soon drew out his
snuff-box-then a social link, as the
cigar case is now-and offered it to the
general, who, without even a word or
a bow, averted his face. The box was
handed round, and each of the other
three gentlemen took a pinch and en-
tered into conversation with the
Frenchman. He, ignoring the ill-breed-
ing of the general, tried again and
again to draw him into the common
talk; but the repulsive "Humph!" COM
PEELED him to turn his back upon the
self-suficient officer
AT the tavern where the stage
stopped overnight the passengers were
shown into the common room appro-
priated to all travellers The general,
whose surly silence showed his resent
ment at this democratic treatment,
called loudly, after two or three min
uteS, for the waiter.
"Vaitairer' echoed the Frenchman.
The general looked at the little man
and seated himself. The little man
looked at the tall man, and also sat
down.
Bring me pair of slippers" said
the general, as the waiter entered.
Bring me two pairs of slippers"
shouted monsieur.
Give me a candie-' said the general,
looking a thousand contempts
Bring me two candaile!" shouted
the foreigner.
Quick, sir" said the angry general.

Quick. sair," echoed the French
man, show me two beds"
The next day the general proceeded
ON his journey in private carriage.
AS he departed. Pat. the waiter. was
heard saying to himself. Now If l
know the meaning Of this, I'll be both

The moral. however. is plain; it is
that, when travelling. common cour-
tesy smooths the road better than a
steam roller.
