Lieut.. Coi George b. Davis, deputy
Judge advocate general U. s. army, was
sworn aud requested to give resume OF
the efforts made BY the authorities At thu

Of hazing during the last thirty five
years. Col. Davis said that he entered the

wnen he entered the academy, ''yank-
ing was the commonly talked Of form Of
hazing. Tnis is similar to what Is now
spoken of as dragging men from their
bsds with mattresses or blankets under
meath them.
No violent hands were laid on the men
who were hazed and cadets on leaving
the academy were required TO sign
certificate to tho sffeot that they had not
moIested any person during their stay ct
the academy. This had the effect Of les
sening the amount OF hazing.

returned az stated times to the academy
for duty as 10 the best means for eradi-

were the orders prohibiting hazing and
the penalties INFLICTED for violations OF
these orders and regulations
The commandment said that Booz never

George, dear" she said. night or two
before the wedding, according to Tit-Bits
do you think it possible that our love and
our married life can become the common
place, coldly practical love and life OF the
married people we see around us! Oh.
George, my heart would break if thought
So"
''But it will not be so, said George, pas
sionately. I'VE love each other too tender,
ly, too fondly for that. Our love is not OF
the ordinary kind, my darling, and our lives
will not be so. All, no, my angel; that
can never be.
And the other day she said: 81 say,
George, how would you like pork for dinner
with apple sauce? You would? All right,
then; and don't you forget that feeding
bottle for the baby, or III send you back
after it, and mind that you don't keep din

And he, with falling-off OF the passion
of ten years ago, replied: All right, Lou;

Am Incident of City Life That Shows

Vanity seems to spring eternal in the mas

the more it thrives, apparently.
One ebay, says the Baltimore News, traml
of high degree in vagrancy stopped before
the window of house at which two young
women were standing. He was tattered and
torn and melancholy looking to such an ex-
tent that he aroused feeling of deep sym
pathy in the hearts of the maidens who
looked down upon him as he stood gazing
iDtently at some object he held in his hand
81 wonder what he has, said the senti,
mental one of the two, as she peered down
on him; "a lock of some woman's hair, l
shouldn't wonder
More likely coin he's found; he looks
pleased" rejoined the practical one, scot
fingly, as she maneuvered for position that
would reveal the object to her.
But it was neither, they discovered. 1t
was just bit of looking glass, in which the
man was surveying his features with salts
fed air that told of his entire contentment
with his very rugged physiognomy:

of this story, that vanity springs eternalIy

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
TasteleSs Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, SOC.

Brokers Tax Unconstitutional.

Chancellor Mcconnell has decided
the act of the last Legislature levying
a special tax on merchandise brokers
unconstitutional and in violation of the
interstate commerce law. Chancellor
Mcconnell holds that these brokers
stand in the stead of drummers for
outside manufacturers and business
concerns, and that to impose such a
tax on them as is contemplated by this
act is directly in restraint of trade be-
tween the States. The State revenue
agent will appeal the case to the Sl-
