1T is everywhere recognized chat a
soldier is best paid for doing: his duty
by strip of ribbon or a. pecuniarily
valueless medal On the other hand,
a badge in itself often spurs on it's
owner to deeds of valor and honor.
Harry Won Trott, a young graduate of
the Agricultural Colleges of the Univer-

In replying with considerable asper-
ity to the invitation to be present at
the Chicago celebration of the ami
versary of Dewey's victory at Manila,
Duke D'Arcos, the Spanish Minister,
was following the general lines of dip
1omatic usage. At the time of Dewey's
arrival in this country, invitations to
his New York reception were sent to
all members of the diplomatic corps IN
Washington. After little conference
they decided that it would be improper
that they, as representatives of ma

all over the country to look out for
crooks who usually flock there carni-
val time. One morning I was walking
down Newspaper Row, which is OF
Camp Street, when the crowds which
were gathering to view the parade
We're startled by pistol shot coming
from one of the banks. A second later
a man dashed out of the door and
made a Decline for paper store
across the way and was Immediately
lost from sight. With a couple of po-
licemen and lot Of reporters I went
into the bank and there looked for the
dead man. But the fellow who was
shot, though he considered himself as
good as dead, wasn't a corpse. He was
nearly scared to death, though. He
was wa surrounded by employees Of the
bank, and when asked where he was
shot, said he didn't know. We looked
him over but there wasn't trace of
blood to be found, yet he declared he'd
been hit in the back somewhere and
began to cry. A reporter discovered a
small hole in the coat. Here it is
said he, shot plumb through the spinal
column, and the bullet is on the in
side.' The man who was shot didn't
fancy the joke at all and became more
fearful than ever. He took off his coat
and then his vest, and then pulled his
suspenders off his shoulders. The
bands fell over his arms, but the straps
remained stationary where the leather
wedge was. One. of the fellows gave
a jerk, the victim gave howl and the
suspenders came down, bullet and all.
for the latter had become imbedded in
the leather and had pinned his sus-
penders to his back as neatly as if they
had grown there. The victim was
immensely relieved, as you may we'll
imagine, but I don't know that he was
so lucky after all, as he is now serving
a long term in the Louisiana peniten-
tiary for embezzlement, and the man
who shot him is, thanks to the Pc
culiar justice dealt by Louisiana juries,
a free man today, but out some $500.
His victim was clerk in a bank and
had got hold of his money on pretense
of investment and had spent it all.
The only way he could get even was to

The proverbial foible of many per-

their ages is proved by the census to
DE a reality Careful scrutiny of the
returns of population according to ages
in successive census years shows that
there is a widespread tendency among
boys and girls to report themselves
older than they really are, as If to
anticipate manhood and womanhood.
Among those who 1 are approaching

he served as Trial Justice and Magistrate
