The skirts are plain enough even when q
bit OF braiding or a Killed effect is intro
duced. and they are all short enough to
fully display the cloth-topped shoes or the
CATERS that the smart damsels affect. To
the fancy OF the fourteen-year-old miss
there Is delightful novelty about the but
toned shoes, with their round toes extern
sion sofes and black or tan cloth tops. The
patronage OF these shoes by these very
young ladies Is proof that early in life the
American girl knows what she wants to
wear. and wears her choice with delightful
Independence.
In all about a dozen pretty and original
cuts OF coats are worn by the juvenile half
of well-dressed humanity, and some of the

braided melton long coat is shown. To
break any long, dreary lines the maker of
this type Of wrap wisely added boero

FL Caney IVES Captured.
IChfcapo Inter Ocean

Some national guard officers who served
in the SDanish-American war were dis
cussing General LAWJOn's death and his
services in Cuba. One OF thSm told the
following stories concerning MS conduct
at FL Caney, where he wore the white
helmet which was the cause of his death:
.'On the morning of July General Law

men 10 take Fl Cdney. while the rest Of

BRITISH CONSUL THRASHED
BUT 1T BROUGHT HIN FORTUNE

Then it was that the commandments
reflected that after all he had been
perhaps. a little indiscreet, and that
unpleasant consequences might follow.
So he ordered the wire to Guatemala
city to be cut, hoping. by that means,
to gain time before the news reached
the ears of the British minister.
A native boy attached to the con.
sulate at San Jose, however. made his
way up the line TO EScuintia- half way
TO Guatemala city, and from thera
wired the astonishing news to the min
lister that his consul had just received
fifty Ia shes.
The British minister Immediately
sought out Barrios and demanded in
slant explanations and redress.
BarriOs. secretly pleased with the ac-
ton Of his subordinate, but also alarm
ed for the consequences. endeavored
by fair promises to tempOrize; but, in
few days. the arrival of British men
Of-war at San Jose, and the Occupa-
ton of that place hurried a decision as
to the minister's demands. These were,
that for the national insult the British
flag should be saiuted in Guatemala
city, the eOmmandante handed over to
/ the admiral for punishment, and Mr.
Magee given $4,000 in gold for the per-
sonal injuries sustained.

As to Mr.. Magee. so anxious was
BarTiOs to gain his good Will, that he
conceded to him the privilege of erect

USE OF DOGS IN WAR.
Results of Experiments Made by the
German Army Last Summer.
\

The use Of dogs in war dateS back TO
the Greeks and Romans, but the mod
ern idea of training them for special
military service was born in 1886 in
Germany, and for the past ten or
twelve years each battalion Of German
jaegers has had eight or ten dogs as
signed to int for this training. The
two or three dogs thus falling to each
company are placed under the care Of
a non-commissioned officer and two
men and each regiment has an officer
detailed to supeTintend their instTuc-
ton
The dog is to be used for various spe-
cial duties, such as the service of in
formation and security. or scouting, on
marches and reconnaissance and in
patrols, sentinel duty with the out
posts, as messengers on both these
duties, as carriers of supplies and am
munition on the battlefield, and to hunt
up the wounded after battle.
To test the results thus far obtained,
a number of dogs belonging to various
regiments were assembled at Gels in
Prussia Silesia last July for trial.
There were sixteen dogs in all. six Of
them under two years old. They were
tried on the following points: Conduct
as watchdog return from patrol TO
master. going from master to patrol,
following the master by scent alone,
and lying down. The first point was
tested by placing the dog with his mas
ter at an outpost, giving only a limited
view. and then causing two JaegerS Tin
enemy's Uniform) to approach under
cover from point about 400 yards dis
tant The second and third points were
tested by sending four dogs at one time
from an outpost Cor PATROL to four diff
ferent sentinels. then back again TO
the outpost Tor patTOD, back again TO
the sentinel, and once more to the out
post Cor patrOD, the latter having
meanwhile changed its position.
The various points were given values
and one Of the dogs received 80 out Of
a possible 100. The dogs were Of diff
ferent breeds and crosses, but the best
were coIlies and shepherd dogs. The
average rate of travel Of the dogs as
messengers was about nine and one
half miles an hour.
Much interest Is taken in this subject
in other armies beside that of Germany,
and when once the best breed is deter
mined dogs may be specially bred for
military service and a considerable
number utilized in the armies.

The recent telegraph report from
San Francisco of the death OF Mr..
Jonn Magee recalls one of the most
dramatic episodes ever enacted on the
Central American coast.
twenty-five years ago Mr.. Magee
occupied the post Of British vice con-
sui at san Jose on the Pacific side Of
Guatemala In the course of the full
hllment of his duty. having incurred
the cordial dislike of Rufina BarTios.
the dictator Of that time, the subOr-
dinates Of the government were not
SLOW TO initiate their superior by met
ing out TO Mr. Magee every petty
annoyance possible.
Still, a British consul was a person
with whom none cared to interfere to
any serious extent, until it occurred to
the cOmmandant of san Jose to prove
his excessive loyalty 10 Barrios by
an overt act directed against the OBJ
Ject Of the dictator's III favor. Pur-
pOsely Selling upon the incOnvenient
moment when Mr.. Magee was just
sitting down to lunch the comman-
dante sent him a peremptOTy message
to appear at the government Office
forthwith, Offering by way of expla-
nation some trivial matter in dispute.
Mr.. Magee, IL is said, not only per-
GmptOrily declined to obey the sum
mons, but forcibly-veTy f0rcibly-
ejected the intruding messenger from
his presence. Then he went on with
his lunch as if nothing particular had
happened.
This was apparently all the excuse
that the COmmandante wanted to pub
licly humiliate the consul, and so forti-
flying his courage with an extra guam
tity of mescal, he dispatched a COM
pany of ragged soldiers to seize the
consul and, protest or no protest, bring
him before the representative Of the
supreme power in San Jose. Mr.. Ma
gee was still at lunch when the rabble
