great abundance In the Okefenokee

cook and eat II. Many OF the mortars

swamp. The wampee root makes fairly
palitable article OF food.

Ancient Symbolism of the Glove.


In the history of dress the position of
the glove Is unique. There was time
when the glove was an emblem of con,
fidence. Forming a part of the regal
habit, it became badge of rank In the
middle ages the ceremony of investiture
in comforting dignities or bestowing
lands was consummated by the giving
of a glove. Likewise. the deprivation
of gloves was ceremony of degrade
ton.
Then, too, it was the custom to give
gloves in payment of rent. the gloves
being accepted as guarantee of re-
tainer's service, which was the chief
condition of tenure. On the Scotch
border the glove held a high place as a
gage Here glove borne on the point
of a lance proclaimed an act of perfidy
Biting the glove was sign of hostile
intent and the usual prelude to a
quarrel
Throughout the history of dress they
are found symbolical of pledges. cages,
gifts or favors. Gloves also form part
of burial rites and were carried in flu.
neral professions until the middle of the
eighteenth century. When a maiden
died, it was the custom to place in the
center of the garland which was borne
on her coffin pair of white gloves-a
symbol of virginity and innocence. -

Alexnnder's First Victory In Asia

The battle of the Ganicus. of which
Professor Wheeler gives vivid descrip,
ton in The Century was remarkable
as showing the military genius of Alex
ander the Great at an early point in
his career 1t resulted in the crushing
defeat of the Persians and had been
planned by Alexander'in such (. way as
to leave the Greek mercenaries of Darius
practically out of the fight. When the
Persians had been driven from The field,
these mercenaries were rapidly disposed
Of, such rs were not slaughtered being
captured and sent home to slavery
The percentage of losses on the win
ners' side was as small as in a Spanish
American sea fight Alexander buried
the few fallen Macedonians with high
honors and exempted their parents and
children from the payment of taxes
The wounded received his personal at
tention. He went from one to the
other. looked at their wounds inquired
particularly as to how they had been
received, and allowed them-what is
dear to a soldiers heart, and especially
to that of the Greek soldier-'to tell
their tales and hrag of their deeds.
"Incidents like this, says Professor
Wheeler, ''betray in striking way the
extent to which Alexander leadership
and his empire were personal thing.

Washington, Jan. 20. - The war de-

command of the military forces in the
Philippines asking If the Spanish pris-

Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents in the Philippines" and at
its own cost to return these prisoners
to their homes. There We're reports that
the release of prisoners had actually be-
gun, but Secretary Alger said he had
not been advised of this release, al
though he was making inquiries as to
the situation.
The number of these Spanish prison.
ers is considerable, running into the
thousands. At one time Admiral Dewey
reported the capture of several thou
