THE BUGLER WHO FORGOT.
He Saw an Opening in the Enemy's
Line and Sounded 4

1t is not often that an enlisted man
gets chance to rur. part of the fight

lays Lcslie's Weekly, came to one bu-
gler Capt. Hanndy, finding that COM
pany was too far away to hear orders,
in recent engagement in the Philip
pines, sent his bugler after the com
i)any to sound the charge. AT the first
notes company L flew onward. 1t was
right here that the bugler forgot, for
the time being, that he was only the
commanding officer S orderly. He saw an
other chance, he thought, not to be lost
lie sounded once more and Lieut.. Ross,
of course, that the order
came from Capt. Hannay, executed it.
Not even yet was the buglers thirst for
forward action stated. He sounded
again and again, as the heat of general
ship made his blood flow thick and fast.
by the time the bugler came to him

LONDON TAILORS.
Their Garments Are Well Made and
Show Good Workmanship
But Do Not Fit.

1.-The best that can be said of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are we'll
made" said Nelson r. Huntington, of
New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study of the hospitals, to Phil
;Idelphia North American man. '"Thcy
never fit. Indeed, the art of misit
seems to be carefully studied. The gar
nents of both men and women never set
well, and even the actresses, who are
supposed to be eXacting, suffer from
the inability or indisposition of the
English tailors to fit the figure. The
finish. however, shows fine and thor
oueh workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not even i'm
portant buttons are secure. american
taiors and dressmakers surpAss every
thing in Europe in making fit, and the
finish compares favorably with the Eng
fish. The New Workers who import
garments made by Poole and other
fashionable London tailors had them
refjtted by American tailors until year
or two ago, when the latter refused to
touch them at any price"

HIS FIRE ESCAPE.
The Only Time the Traveller Wanted
to Use 1t He Couldn't Find
the Key.

A commercial traveller who was put
ting up at one of the hotels exhibited
curious contrivance to some friends
the other evening, says the New Orleans
Iimes-Democrat. 1t consisted of u
metal reel almost eight inches long,
Dolted securely to one of the inside cor
ners OF his trunk. On the reel was
wound about 100 feet of steel wire, ter
minating in sort of stirrup. The en-
tire device occupied considerably less
than square foot of room, and the
drummer explained that il was fire
escape of his own invention. "All |
have to do" he said, lis to put my foot
in the stirrup and let myself out of the
window. The trunk acts as an anchor
ut this end and the ratchet at the side of
the reel prevents the wire from paying
out too rapidly" did you ever have
occasion to put it to use?" asked one of
the spectators. Only once" replied
the drummer. II was in a hotel that
caught fire at night about eight months
ago and the first thing ! did when |
jumped out of bed was to rush for my
trunk. 1t was locked and in my excite
ment couldn't find the key. hunted
high and low and was still hunting
when the porter rushed in and led me
downstairs. They eXtinguished the fire
and | subsequently discovered the key
under the bureau. Now have the thing
on chain and am loaded for confagra-
tons of all brands"

too much of good thing.) She is as
inevitable as the seasons. She is more
difficult to escape than the NJ ,rmon eye.
She inculcates and illustrates the prin-

emancipation creed to the shape of her
waist and the length of her stride when
she walks.
