THINGS r'orbidden i'm War.

1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the game of war Is hedged around
by as many restrictions as a boxing
match under Queensbury rules. These
regulations, which are under the sane
ton of all the civilized countries of the
world, are designed to insure fair play
for the combatants.
When it is intended to lombard a
place, due notice should be given, so
that all women and children may be re-
moved to a place of safety, and every
care must be taken to spare churches
and hospitals, as we'll as all charitable
and educational buildings.
All chaplains, doctors and nurses are
protected in every possible way, and
are not to be taken prisoners or in
any way injured.
Any soldier robbing or mutilating an
enemy is liable to be shot without
trial, and death is the penalty for
wounding or killing disabled man.
The bodies of the enemy are to be
carefully searched before burial, and
any articles found on them which
might lead to their Identification are
to be sent to the proper quarters.
Explosive bullets must not be used
and quarter must be given to the enc.
my whether he asks for 1t or not. In
an attack on the enemy there must be
no concealment of the distinctive signs
of the regiments, and the use Of poi
sons for polluting drinking water is
strictly orbidden.-Boston Traveller.

We named him Zip" Tip was most

evident comprehension of conversation

The effect was startling, and caused

HHe's n Brick"

The phrase, Hes brick" Is de-
rived from an expression of Aristotle,
which, translated from Greek into Eng
lish, signifies "a four-cornered man."
a brick having four corners. BY man
or an action being square" we mean
"honest." Aristotle's expression may
be rather equivalent to an "all-round"
man. An ambassador, once uron o
time, expressed to the King Of Sparta
his wonder that none of the Spartan
cities had walls of defense. The King
took him to where his little army was
drawn up for inspection, and. pointing
to them, said: "These are the walls of
Sparta-1O,O00 men, and every man a
brick."-New York Home Journal

Foo ing the Public,

"I'm about bushed in the matter Of
curiosities," mused the owner of 8
small store. Its bad habit-this
idea of drawing trade by making a
museum of the window, but l can't
stop now-business won't allow it,"
A few hours later the soda water
trade was rushing. The crowd outside
the window gazed in until it was
thirsty at the remarkable bird that
hung in bigcage. The card attached
bore handful of the alphabet hysteri-
cally put together and designed for a
scientific name. After it were the
words: From Samoa"
A few days later the curiosity
was feeding in the back yard. with the
rest of the bantam hens.-Detroit Free

OUR KINsMEN, THE sosRs.
There Is a Tie Between Them and Our

There Is a Tie Between Them and Our
Country's Early Settlers.
Reminded necessarily of their kinship
with the English, Americans are not
often asked to remember their kinship
with the Beers. And yet the tie is a
close one. The Boer is transplanted
Dutchman, and the influence of Hol-
land in shaping the destiny of this
country is ranked by historians as Sec
ond only to that of Britain.
In contemplating the Transvaal war
it is we'll not to forget what the Dutch
did for America.
The Pilgrim Fathers, having been
driven out of England, found refuge
in Holland until they sailed for the
New World. Holland was in that age
the cradle of religious liberty. 1t was
one of the worlds great states, and its
people had won greater freedom than
those of England.
During their sojourn there the refu-
gees learned to admire and love many
Dutch institutions, and they carried
these feelings with them across the At.
lantic.
In the very foundation Of the Amerl-
can commonwealth there was n stratum
of the elements that are present in the
fighting Beers.
Hendrick Hudson, when he sailed his
boat, the Half Moon, through the Mar
rows, in 1909, was, through English
himself, in the service of the Dutch
East India Company. To Holland,
therefore, belongs the honor of the dis
covery of the Hudson river and what is
now the port of New York.
England claimed all the territory or
the Atlantic coast from the Bay o;
Fundy to Florida, but did not oppose
the colonization of the territory discov
cred by Hudson.
Hudson named the region New Meth
erland and established trading posts on
Manhattan Island and at what is now
Albany.
The first Dutch colonlst arrived in
1923 and settled on Manhattan Island,
which they named New Amsterdam.
Holland claimed all the territory from
the Delaware to the Connecticut.
To stimulate colonization tie Dutch
West India Company offered tract III
miles along one bank of any river or s
miles along both hanks to anybody who
would transport so colonists from the
old country.
Among these brave pioneers were the
forefathers of many who now look upon
themselves as the aristocracy of New
York.
In just this way did the Dutch col
onize South Africa. So that there is
cousinship of race between many in the
Four Hundred and the stern farmers
who obey Dom Paul.
But intermarriage on this side ha:
modified the original type, whereas the
Beers in their jealous isolation have
preserved the pure, strong, rugged race

RECEIVED CHANGE IN NlcKeLs.
Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
Street Car Company.

NoVel suit OF Mcmph1S woman Against
a Street Car Company.
The Supreme Court will be called
upon at its next sitting at Jackson to
look into the peculiar case of Mrs.
Crutchfield VS.. the Memphis Street
Railway.
Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street rail-
way company for $500 damages and
the complainants maintain that they
have such cause as entitle them to
trial on the merits of the case.
1t is related that on the days of trans
action. Mrs. Crutchfield. who lives in
Fort Pickering, having occasion to
come uptown, found that she had no
other money than $40 bill She tried
to get this money changed before she
boarded the street car. She went to
the butcher with whom she deals in the
neighborhood and offered to pay bill
there If the butcher could change the
bill, but she could not get it changed.
So she boarded the street car with the
bill. 1t Is related on behalf Of the COM
plainant that she explained to the con-
ductor the circumstances accounting
for the necessity for offering him so
large bill and asked him for a transit
er at Beal street. They were not able
to settle the trouble about the bill until
they came to Madison street, when the
conductor got off the car to get the bill
changed. 1t Is asserted that he went to
some trouble to get the bill changed
entirely to nickels. He got at the first
bank, so it is asserted by the complain
ant, $40 in nickels and a $40 bill, and
then went to another bank and got the
$40 bill changed to nickels. He carried
these small coins TO the passenger and
rendered them to her.
1t is related that Mrs. Crutchfield ask
ed for time in which to count the
money, but the conductor demurred,
and the other passengers protested
against the delay, so that Mrs. Crutch,
field said the car might go to the end OF
the line and she would count the money
Ell route. 1t is related that after she
had counted the money over once she
concluded that she was 81 10 short, and
upon making demand for the balance
the conductor handed it over to her
She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end OF
the Main street line and turned for thC
round trip. Then the conductor de
manded second fare from her, where
at she protested, and after some argu
ment, when the cond ;ctor declares
that she would have to pay another
nickel or get off, she got off the car.
These being the averments of the law
suit from the complainant's standpoint
it Is intended to go to the Suprem,
Court to ascertain whether or not sucl
circumstances do not constitute a caus,
for action.-M emphis Scimeter.

Love and Letters.

Many heart has been won through
the agency of well-written letters. One
morning well-dressed man rushed
into a matrimonial office in London,
and tiourished a bank-note before the
eyes of the startled agent.
This bit of paper shall be yours, if
you'll book me a wife," he cried. 1T
doesn't matter whether she's tall or
short, fat or thin; in less than an hour
shall be on my way to the West In
dies, and want you to find me a wom-
an who will write me newsy little
letter every month. | can't take a wife
out there, and must keep in touch
with the old country somehow"
Though this was an extraordinary de-
mand, the agent agreed to do his best,
and soon discovered clever spinster
who was willing to oblige the eccentric
traveller. For three years she sent her
unknown lover long letters that cheered
his lonely heart and made him yearn to
come back to claim her for his own,
and when at last he returned the mar
riage was celebrated without loss of
time.

strain the air from the water; but she
has lungs, and when she fills them with
water she gets some air. to be sure,
for there is air in the water all the time.
But she gets too much water at the
same time and it doesn't do her any

Gold Filling. No Longer Fas~ionabIe

be no more gold in teeth. Gold in the

say, is horribly conspicuous, and it Is
very bad form. None Of the yellow
metal should show when one laughs.
and such thing as half n front tooth
Of gold must no more be seen.
1t is still allowable to use gold where
there is no possibility of it's showing
but in any other case the new rule Of
fashion is exceedingly positive.
1t is not proposed that where gold Is
already in place it shall be taken out
but the "orders" are to use the other
materials from now on, especially in
the case of the upcoming generation.
In the place of gold the fashionable
dentists are now using a white metal
that hardens very quickly. and when
hard looks precisely like the tooth it.
