"Um, hum," assented the other; that

The Coronel's Romance.

"Colonel," said the romantic girl,
"tell me how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, just know it
must be a thrilling story. Was 1t made
by a bullet or saber thrust? prefer
a saber thrust. 1t seems SO much more
like the knighthood of old. You can't
see bullet coming, and there Is no
way to escape 1t or combat 1t, but when
your enemy rushes at you with his up
lifted saber there Is the possibility Of
parrying his blow and cutting him
down. That seems much more manly,
even If. the victor in the fray does re-
ceive wound or two, than to just be
laid low or to lay the enemy low by
n bullet that cannot be seen. There Is
no bravery In shooting man, but
there is something knlghtly in meeting
another face to face with a sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
by a cleaning blade, and know that
your enemy must mt least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about 1t, colonel-when it happened
and how. I am so Interested In war
stories"
"Yes," he replied, 81 agree with you
fully about the sword and saber bust
ness. There isn't much bravery in
shooting a fellow, and there Is some
thing knightly about standing up and
thrusting and parryng with a blade.
But I got this wound while acting as
an innocent bystander at Chicago

The Belief In Charms. =.

A belief In charms has existed In oil
ages and has been shared by all peo-
pies. 1t is n natural result of supersti.
ton. The phylacteries worn by Mo-
hammedan and Jewish women on the
forehead form but one phase Of this
universal belief. Faith, however IL
deemed essential and Is true Of all tai
ismans that are copied from old pat
terms and not constructed according to
the rules OF tho cahallstic nrt.
Talismans to be efilcacious must be
constructed when the planets are In
benefic conhguration. 1t Is then that
the magic geometrcal words and fig
ures Inscribed thereon are more potent
In their results for good. The date Of
birth Of the person for whom the tails
man Is made must also be considered.
80 that his particular lucky star Is TAX
en- into consideration.
Many great men were believers In
talismans and wore them constantly.
Napoleon especially was very supersti-
tious and carried on his person n charm
given to him by an Egyptian priest,
which he regarded as being RESPONSE
BILE for his great success in battle. The
Rothschild family, 1t Is said, also has
a talisman, which is an heirloom. 1t ls
In the shape Of n snuffboX and Is said
to have brought the family the great
wealth for which 1t Is celebrated.-Ncw

The Soldiey and His Heart.

Very few soldiers who have seen
much service escape what Is called
battle heart.
The ordinary state Of the heart In
healthy people Is one Of irritability,
but In the soldier Of FIVE or SIX years
service the irritability is SO great that
it constantly affects his temper.
The soldier wears such tight clothing
that his heart has not room to beat
freely. and the perpetual struggle to
do its work under difficulties Injuries
II. The soldiers trousers are tight at
the waist. His coat Is buttoned as
tightly as possible and very often he
sQueezcs himself with belt.
Then when on the march his chest
Is compressed by the weight Of his
knapsack. cnnteen. great coat and
heavy cartridge belt.
II you watch q company Of soldiers
when they are doing long march.
you will observe that most of them
have flushed faces. red ears, red noses,
Is greatly ovcrtaXed. Some. on the
other hand, are pale, which proves that
their hearts are not equal to the work
thrown on them.
When, after a very long march. the
men have to deploy into fghting order,
and perhaps rush a hill, a very large
number break down altogether. Their
overstrained hearts never become
really strong and healthy agnin.-

f,ut Their Sentences Short,

Many people in every walk OF life,
and particularly travelling men, seem
to have craze for abbrcviation. On
almost every page of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak OF
abbreyation.
Two Authorizations that have been
noticed are "E. O." and ~. o." Any
where but In the residence column Of q
hotel register they would be very puz
zling. OF course 1t is easy to under
stand that the 40" means Ohio, and as
there is but one town In that state that
begins with "Z," GAINESVILLE, and but
one the name of which begins with
"X," Xenia, 1t Is easy to understand
the abbrcviations. and they save lot
Of time and ink.
"11worth" Is not SO easy to under
stand perhaps. but when "kansas' Is
written after It Is easier. Another
puzzling abbrcviation Is "lO,' but
when 1t Is chattanooga, 10,' 1t Is not
hard to read. Columbus Is usually
written "Culs." and Chicago "Cgo."
The final "h' in the old fashioned way
Of spelling pittsburg, which has been
almost entirely dropped elsewhere. Is
usually used in the ahbrcviatlon which
most Pittsburgers write CPgh.D nowo-

A Daring Lawyer.

One Of the cases which attracted
great attention to Jim Hnm Lewis Of
Washington for his daring defense was
that Of young man named George
Williams, who Drained the super1n-
tendent Of the Port BLakely Lumber
mill with fragment Of iron pipe. The
deceased was shown to have been q
tyrannical superior. Lewis defended
Williams on the ground that the super
intendent, though q man in form, was
q beast in character; that 1t was tho
Indirect order Of God some man should
kill him; that Williams simply per-
formed duty to society. An acquittal
followed, to The utter CONSERVATION Of
the county, the jury going to the ex-
tent Of inquiring If there was no way
in which Williams could be indemni-
fed for the two years and half he
spent in jail awaiting trial.
