The colonel's Romance.

Colonel" said the romantic girl.
tell INC how you got that scar upon
your left check. Oh, just know it
must be a thrilling story. Was 1T made
by a bullet or sabcr thrust? prefer
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 it, but when
your enemy rushcs Mt 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-
ccive wound or two, than to just be
laid low or to lay the enemy low by
bullet that cannot be seen. There is
no bravery in shooting q man, but
there is something knightly in meeting
another face to face with n sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
by cleaning blade, and know that
your enemy must at least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about 1t, colonel-when 1t happened
and how. l am so interested in war

Cut Their Sentences short.

Many people in every walk of life,
and particularly travelling men, seem
to have craze for abbreviation. On
almost every page of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak. Of
abbreviation.
Two authorizations that have been
noticed are "X. o." and ~. o." Any
where but in the residence column of a
hotel register they would be very puz-
cling. OF course 1t is easy to under
stand that the 60" means Ohio, and as
there Is but one town in that state that
begins With ~" GAINESVILLE, and but
one the name of which begins with
*" Xcnia, it Is easy to understand
the Authorizations, and they save lot
of time and ink.
I1worth" is not so easy to under
stand perhaps. but when Kansas" is
written after it is easier. Another
puzzling abbrcviation is 49," but
when 1t is chattanooga, TO-" it is not
hard to read. Columbus Is usually
written Coils" 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 abbrcviation which
most Pittsburgers write C"Pgh." nowo-
days.-Chicago Chronicle.

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 irrltabillty,
but in the soldier of five or six years.
service the irritability is so great that
1t 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
1t. The soldiers trousers are tight Mt
the waist. His coat Is buttoned rs
tightly as possible and very often he
squeczcs himself with belt.
Then when on the march his chest
Is compressed by the weight of his
knapsack, canteen, great coat and
heavy cartridge belt.
If you watch company of soldiers
when they are doing long march,
you will observe that most of them
have flushed faces, red ears, red noses,
swollen necks-showing that the heart
is greatly overtaxed. Some, on the
other hand, IRE pale, which proves that
their hearts are not equal to the work
thrown on them.
When, after very long march, the
men have to deploy into fighting order,
and perhaps rush hill, a very large
number break down altogether. Theil
Overstrained hearts never become
really strong and healthy again.

The Great Seal OF England.

The seal consists of large mass of
sterling silver, measuring about G1h
inches in diameter by ~ inches in
depth or thickness. 1t Is in two parts,
both smooth on the outer side, but clab-
orately engraved within. These two
surfaces are impressed upon lump of
wax attached in an ingenious way to
any document to which her majesty as
sovereign gives her royal assent. The
weight of the seal is 1856 ounces. Each
seal Is engraved during the reign of
the sovereign whose name 1t bears
and the collection presents curious
and accurate cpitome of English his
tory.
All lord clanccllors have taken the
greatest care of the seals in their
charge and have contrived reccsscs
ind elaborate devices for their safe
custody. One of them in the reign of
Charles III actually slept with the seal
under his pillow and by this loving pre-
caution saved 1t from thieves who one
night broke into his house and carried
off the mace belonging to the house Of
lords aud other valuable property

He Doesn't Mean 1t.

When you hear young man say,
II don't believe in woman having
anything to do but sit and read or
manicure her finger nails all day,
don't want my wife to be busy about
anything" why. of course, you know
that the young man is simply talking
against time. He doesn't mean n word
he says, and it is safe to warrant that
he is the first man who would be bored
to death by such girl. This young
man may like to fancy that he is be-
lever In such false sentiments, and
perhaps lie does believe in them for
the moment Of saying. But this may
more than likely be only his way Of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the girlhood Of today is respond
Ing to, out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there Is nothing more than sly
method In Iii. old school assertion
