Not much attention is often paid to the

before the little redness begins to itch and
burn. This is but the beginning, and will
lead to suffering and torture almost unen-

- A SOLDIER PUNISHED.
uumiliated by Having to Publicly
Retract an Insult to
His Flag.

The Partisan papers are variously
commenting on an incident that lately
occurred in the garrison at Touion. A
soldier named R, while among his
comrades at the barracks, said things
which Corporal Delhorbe deemed an in
suit to the FRENCH flag. The corporal
ordered the man TO be punished. The
colonel. when he heard of the case, was
horrified and straightway reported the
matter 10 Gen. Coronnat, commanding
The Fourth brigade of marine infantry.
The general was also Mortified, and ad-
dressed the following letter 10 the
troops under his command: private
R, of the Eleventh company, Eighth
regiment, has been punished for hav-
ing wantonly said outrageous things
concerning the flag. 1t is with sadness
that the general brings to tie knowl-
edge of the troops this incident, which
is veritable crime against the country
AS this soldier had deplorab Bile
antecedents, insults coming from him
cannot soil the sacred emblem. But as
he regrets his fault, we shall confine
ourselves this time 10 the following
reparation: The Eleventh company,
which witnessed the scandal. shall be
formed in the square of execution be-
fore the colonel's office, and the flag
shall be unfurled. Private R shall
present arms to it and express his re-
grets in swearing to die for the honor
of the flag, as every good soldier ought
to do. If this soldier had not signified
his repentance, one of the five men of
the color guard, drawn by lot, would
have forced a retraction with arms in
his hands, and the delinquent would
have been sent to q 'compagnie de dis
cipline.' The color guard chose to de-
fend the flag against the enemy should
have The privilege to defend it against
insulters. Corporal Delhorbe is to be
praised for having noted the words of
Private R and for having caused his

"What is rag timer" the enthusi-

juncture he produced big piece Of

young man looking very unhappy in

pointing to the picture and reading,
claims to be the original instructor
to the stage of the now popular rag
time in Ethiopian song The author
guarantees TO teach ybody who can

is what the musicians call syncopation,
and this syncopation, and this change
of accent in the accompaniment, is
kept up continually in the same way

gone down on a snow-covered and slip
perry asphalt pavement. The driver
cleared away all the harness, loosed all
the fastenings, so that the hcrse
would have perfect freedom of move
ment. and then did the one thing that
was new. He got from the truck big
piece of burlap bagging and went back
to the horses head and prepared to
place it under the horses feet. lie
spread it under the horses eff fore foot
first, because that was the one he came
TO first coming from the truck, arrang-
ing it on the ground close TO the fGot
and then lifting the foot and leg and
pushing the burlap under it. Then he
went around the horses head to re-
peat the operation with the nigh foot
and when he got all ready apd had got
hold of the horses foot to aft it the
horse lifted his foot himself. while the
driver simply carried it forward 10 It's
proper place on the burlap. Then, with
this good, secure hold for his feet, the
horse got up on the slippery pavement
with no difficulty whatever, and the
driver hooked him up again and drove
on.
Level-headed driver; good horse.
