was questioned in regard to his al

admitted that he could make a table

with any person in Chicago. 1t was
in an attempt to talk to q person in

him by one OF tho physicians, that he

The announcement recently made
that a siege train was being mobilized
for service in South Africa no doubt
conveyed very little information to
the non-miltary mind, as was shown
a few days ago, when a writer in the
London Daily Mail was asked, in all
sincerity: What is the difference be-
tween a siege train and an armOred
train?" AS matter of fact, a siege
train is the name applied to the COM
plement of guns, ammunition and
store wagons, and men employed to
conduct siege. According to the
Siege Artillery Manual" siege
train may consist of any number Of
divisions, heavy, medium or light, ac-
cording to the requirements of the
service, A division, as a rule. con-
sists Of sixteen pieces of ordnance,
exclusive Of machine guns; each divi-
sion requires a personnel consisting
of four companies of garrison artil.
lery, with the following staff: One
lieutenant-colonel, one adjutant, one
quartermaster two staff non-commis-
stoned officers, and two staff clerks, in
addition to a total of 500 officers, non.
commissioned officers and men. In
the present instance the armament
consists of the new fve-inch breech'
loading howitzers throwing lyddite
shell. All siege guns and howitzers
are fitted with special sights known as
"French's sights" which enable them
to be laid on an object that is invisi-
Bile to the gunner. With this advan.
tage it is possible to place the battery
behind hill totally obscured from
the enemy's view, and to pound away
until either all his guns are dismount'
ed or the fort preached so as to en-.
able the infantry to carry the place
by assault. Siege gunnery has now
arrived at such a pitch of perfection
that there is absolutely nothing that
can withstand the attack of we'll
organized and well-equipped siege
train The shell fire is so accurate
and searching and the high explo'
sives so destructive that it is only a
question of time in demolishing any
defense that can possibly be erected
By means Of an observing instrument,
invented by Capt. Tancred, each shot
can be accurately observed as burst
ing so many yards short or over the
object, thus enabling the necessary
corrections to be made for the next
round to strike the exact spot desired

one speaks into the instrument, a lit
tie diaphragm, like a drumhead, be-
gins to vibrate, and each vibration
sends a wave of electricity over the
wire. These waves set up a mimic

opposite end, which jars the air and
produces an imitation of the original
voice. This is not a very scientific
explanation, but it's accurate. The

It is related of General Butler that
once he had a very narrow escape from
having to abandon his military career.
Shortly before he joined the regiment
to which he had been gazetted as sub
altern he cut his knee very badly with
an axe. The wound was so severe
that the surgeon said the limb must
be amputatsd. Butler, however, said
that if he could not have two legs he
would have none at all, and the result
was that which usually happens in
such stories, the doctor was all wrong
and Buller was soon able to join his

THE IRONY OF FATE.
A Lovers Strategy Turned to the AdvRn-
tago OF His Rival.


In final and desperate effort TO win
the admiration of the girl he loved,
and to make her realize that he was as
brave and courageous as his rival,
Louis Humphrie, who lives in Phila-
delphia, almost drowned himself and
his little sister on recent afternoon
in the Delaware River. The girl
jumped into the river to give her
brother the opportunity to save her
life, but both of them were overcome
by the cold water, and Walter Yoman,
Humphries rival, pulled them out.
That night it was announced that
Yoman and the girl in question would
soon be married.
Since she has been old enough TO
carry her fathers dinner bucket Mamie
johnson has been the idol Of the young
rivermen. Among those who bowed
before her were Humphrie and Yoman.
EARLY in the winter Yoman was fortu-
nate enough to save a child from
drowning at the risk of his own life.
Humphrie went to see the girl on
Friday night and laid his case before
her. She told him that she had
pledged her troth to Yoman.
With dollar bill he secured the SER
vices Of his ten year old sister in the
morning and pledged her to secrecy.
At noon, when Mamie climbed up the
side of the barge, she was closely fol-
lowed by Humphrie's little sister
Hardly had Humphrie reached the top
of the barge when his sister, true to
her word, fell headlong into the river.
In an instant Humphrie had dived in
behind her. He had not reckoned on
the coldness of the water, and before
he had taken half dozen strokes his
fingers became numb, he felt himself
sinking and called for help.
Several ropes were thrown to him,
but it happened that the one which
fell into his hands was held by Yoman,
who towed them In and lifted them
both to the bank. Meanwhile, Mamie
was fairly dancing with excitement,
and when poor Humphrie was being
led up the bank toward his home she
ran to Yoman and throwing her arms
around his neck, cried:
"I knew all the time that yoH could
do it, and I'm so glad that you saved
Louis. He is such a good friend of
ours"

ing and suggestive facts about this
industry are collected by Good Words
"Our clients belong to the very highest
classes of society" said one OF these
Partisan dog tailors. I'VE recently had
a very remunerative order from the
daughter of a diplomat in Paris for a
set of gala clothes for her dog to match
the liveries Of her fathers lackeys.
She was about to be married, and as
she entered the residence after the
ceremony, her three dogs we're to be
waiting for her at the top of the grand
staircase. They we're to be dressed in
their liyeries, and each was to have q
bouquet of orange blossoms attached
to its collar" Even this was exceeded
by another bride, who ordered for each
Of her half dozen dogs a regular brides
maids costume Of white faille en-
5roidered with lace and garlanded with
orange blossoms White satin slippers
We're also made to measure for each
four-footed pet One step further have
these lovers Of fashion gone in making
their dogs an excuse for fresh display
Sets of fine linen must now be pro
yided for the society dog. No self.
respecting animal would think of pos.
sessing less than half dozen under
garments Of fine lawn, if he is ir
health and of silk or suTah if he is
subject to colds. A dozen embroid'

awaits him in the shape of boots OF

The President as a speaker

Much has been said and written Of
the President as an orator. He is
surely notable in this regard. His
short speeches are models of rhetoric
and delivered in q pleasing style, but
his talents as an auditor are equally
remarkable, and surrounded by his
Cabinet he is frequently called upon
to show them. When he listens to a
speech he sits TRANQUILITY in the large
chair generally placed for his convent
ence, gazing intently at the speaker
and usually holding his silk hat in
his hand. No nervousness marks his
manner, except now and then he will
tap quietly upon the arm Of his chair
with his gloved hand, or close and un-
close it. He does not miss a single
point the speaker makes; looks grave
or smiles as the case may be, and
often, as though carried away by the
enthusiasm of the moment, leads the
applause. He is truly a sympathetic
listener, and, as one of the younger
orators put it, "an inspiration to the
speaker" Washington Correspond
