lie.
The .hustling Democrats os the Third
precinct packed the Plymouth Congre-
gational church Sunday school room
last night until there was hardly
breathing room. Many turned out in
anticipation of seeing some lively
/ scrapping over the nominations, but
( they were disappointed. There was any
amount OF active, earnest work in be-
I half of the various candidates. but it
/ was OF a good-humOred order that left
! not a trace of bitter feeling. This was
evidenced b. the fact that the nomi-
hatlons were made unanimous with the
/ most enthusiastic kind of vote
The meeting was called to order by
/ Harold Sleater shortly after o'clock.
/ Mr.. Sle3ter merely announced that
Oscar w. Moyle had been chosen by the
district committee to act as chairman
and Joseph Bull, jr., as secretary: The
! Democrats named took their positions.
and the convention at once proceeded
to organize for business.
Committees Appointed.
At the outset Alonzo HYDE moved
the appointment of a committee of nine
on credentials. This was made neces-
sary on account OF the contesting dele
cations from the Thirtieth district.
John Back, who headed one of the DEL
egations, moved an amendment limit
ing the committee to five members.
Jake Raleigh Immediately challenged
Backs right to participate
Chairman Moyle ruled that Back had
a right TO vote in the convention until
the committee on credentials had re-
jected his claims. This brought Sleater
to his feet with an appeal from the de-
cision of the chair. The vote was first
al
were so nearly alike in volume that
Chairman Moyle threw up his hands in
despair.
Then he directed Secretary Bull to
take a poll, requesting those desiring
to vote to hold up their hands This
resulted in a victory for Sleater by
vote of 30 TO A3. More debate was be-
ing INDUCED in when David C. Dun
bar. who sat in the Sleater delegation
with proxy. offered pacific solution
Of the problem.
1T seems to me- said Mr. Dunbar.
that neither delegation from the Thir-
tieth has any right to vote until the
committee on credentials has passed
on their qualifications. I, therefore,
suggest that both sides remain silent
until 1t is definitely decided which has
the right to seats here"
Suggestion Adopted.
Mr.. Dunbar's suggestion was accept
ed. and the motion To appoint a COM
mittee of nine, one from each district
in which there was no contest, was
adopted. The various delegations were
then given five minutes in which to
make their, selections for this commit
tee, as well as for a committee on per-
manent organization and order of bust
ness. Those named were as follows:
CreGentials-Sam Galleazzi. S. NJ

Warming to Girls.

A lawyer from Chicago who has
been in Washington this fortnight past
for reasons connected with the Ar
mour Packing company, has been tell
ing me a wartime romance which
ought TO be painted up somewhere as
a warning 10 romantic girls. The hero
is a young man connected with a
branch office of the Chicago firm-that
is. he was connected with n branch
office, and it was in New York town,
but he is in Washington now. One
morning last spring his general man
ager, who happened to be in New York,
received a telegram from him:
Have joined Astor battery. Start
for Manila today" il read.
The general manager saw him before
he set off for the wars. The young
man admitted that he was not obey
ing an irresistible call Of patriotism.
and confessed that the beef business
quite satisfied what bloOdthirsty in
stincts he had but there was a girl in
the case. girl who liked brass but
tons, and she had said that she would
never marry a man who was afraid to
fight for his country. So. for loves
sweet sake he became a soldier For
loves sweet sake fought at Manila and
was shot in the foot. Like Ben Bat
tie, having lost his foot, he laid dowr
his arms. and was sent home. The
girl received the returned hero with
open arms. but the returned hero was
quite sick of arms Of whatever kind.
and merely gave her a cold shoulder.
He said it was her fault that he had
lost his foot that her foolishness had
famed him for life. and that he
wouldn't marry her If she were the
only woman on earth. He hasn't
changed his mind either. The girl
has lost-lost by foot.-Washnigton

STAGGERED Them.

There's no art TO tell how many Ian
guages n tongue can speak by looking
it's owner in the face. An American
woman was met recently in a narrow
hallway of the American embassy by
four young attaches Of foreign lega-
tons. They stepped aside to let her
pass and, thinking she did not under
stand French, made a few audible OBJ
servations.
Look at her yellow dress. It's very
pretty" said No. 1.
Eyes, but she has on white gloves"
answered No. >.
"She has good teeth" said No. 3.
"And an enormous mouth" added
No. 4.
And she understands French per-
fectly," said the owner of the enor-
nous mouth, turning suddenly upon
them, land would like to say that her
ears are even bigger than her mouth"
This in French and with such an air of
giving personal information to nobody
in particular that it was quite as if
she had been kindly helping strangers
to information out of guide book.

TRAINING OF WAR HORSES
How They Are Taught to Not Mind
the Firing.


In the British army the four-legged
recruits are drawn up in "A ring around
an instructor who fires pistol. Some
take the flash and report very quietly,
and these are soon passed on to severer
trials, while the others have lesson
after lesson until they are quite con-
vinced that there is no danger 10 them,
and before long you might fire n seven
FOUNDER within a yard of them and
they would hardly look around. After
this they are taught TO face fire-that
is to say to gallop fearlessly up to n
line or square Of infantry, blazing
away with their rifles. and to charge
batteries of quick-firing guns. OF
course, only blank cartridges are used,
and so 10 a trained horse going into
battle for the first time there is no diff
ference between the harmless thunder
OF the maneuvers and the death-deal-
Ing storm which sweeps over battle
field. The poor brute only learns what
the difference really is by bitter eX-
perience.
When smokeless powder came into
general use ii was found that in many
cases horses which would face the
smoke of guns usng black powder
without flinching flinched and SHE'D AT
the flash and roar unaccompanied by
smoke. Continental opinion is some
what divided as to the moral effect or
smokeless powder on men and horses.
but the general conclusion seems To be
that in daylight ii is not more terribly
ing than black powder. although some
hold that to see men and horses struck
down by an invisible agency must nee
eSsarily be so. But il is generally
agreed that the use of smokeless pow
der at night has much more disturb
ing effect than that of the old powder.
because the flashes of the guns unob-
scured by smoke are great deal more
vivid. The fear thus inspired can.
however. be overcome by training, but
there is another fear which must, in
the nature of the case. be felt for the
first time on the battlefield. and that
is the often uncomfortable terror pro-
duced both i'm men and horses by the
whistling of bullets and the screaming
and banging of shells. Some author
tiles have, indeed, said that since the
Introduction of smOkeless powder and
the great increase in the range and ac-
curacy of weapons, it would be i'm
possible 10 keep cavalry in hand under
the fire of modern artillery, but this is
probably an exaggeration.-Pear

Fearful TOrtures.

For many years | was a teacher in
Afghanistan, and during my stay in
that country | was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
Of torture. Here is one they use i'm the
case of women TO extract testimony.
1t consists in prying off the finger
nails by means of a small chisel or
bradawl, which is showed in slowly
but firmly from the finger tip down
ward under the quick of the nail, which
is then lifted up and out
This is another that l once saw used
in the case Of n small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, so
that the sticks crushed into the bones.
So much for women and children.
Here is a method of eliciting informa-
ton from an unwilling man: The cul-
prit is stripped to the waist, and then
boiling oil is flicked on to his back
This seldom fails to find the mans
tongue.
The above are the chief forms of
"fahana," or torture, for the purpose
of eliciting information, but it must
be stated that such infections as
nipping of noses, tearing out tongues
or splitting eyeballs do not come under
the heading of "fahana," they being
punishments rather than tortures.-
