The Swedes advanced with such veloci-
ty and force that the first, second and
third Imperial brigades were forced to fly;
but Wallenstein stopped the fugitives. we
are told by Stephen Crane In Nep Lippin-
cott. Supported by three ranks of cavalry,
the beaten brigades formed a new front
to the Swedes and struck furiously into
their ranks. A murderous series of com
bats then began; there was no space for
even loading muskets-they fought wildly
with sword and pike. At last the Swedes
exhausted, withdrew to the other side of
the bitches, abandoning battery they had
gained.
In the meantime Gustavus Adolphus. at
the head of his right wing. had attacked
the enemy's left. His splenddly powerful
cuirassiers of Finland had easily routed
all the Croats and Poles covering this
wing, and their fight spread confusion
among the rest Of the cavalry. But he
then received the news that his infantry
had retired, and that his left wing, under
the heavy fire of the windmill hill, was
about to yield.
Ordering Horn to pursue the wing
which he had just defeated, he turned to
fly to the assistance of his own men. His
horse carried him so swiftly that no one
kept up with him but the Duke Of Lauen-
burg.
He galloped straight to the place where
his men were being assailed with the
greatest fury, and his nearsightedness led
him too near. An Imperialist Corporal
noticed that all gave way before him with
great respect, and shouted to musketeer:

A party of married men were talking
about their wives, and 1t Is worthy OF
note that every man was glad he had q
wife and was anxious to tell of her good
points.
Il never heard my wife swear but
once" said one of them when there seemed
to be n lull in the praise meeting.
All the others looked shocked. If any
of them had ever heard their wives swear
| they were not telling it, and they resented
the frankness of the one man who was
| apparently betraying family secrets. But
the man did not regard the bad impress
sion he had created.

Maj. Rathbone was his stepson.
Undoubtedly the shock acting upon Mrs

In the early days of the city of Wash
ington Baptist Church was built at 10th
street by the Rev. Obadiah B. Brown, who
for many years was Chief Clerk in the
General Post Office.
In the year 1857 this property was pur-
chased by John T. Ford, and upon the
site was erected what is known as Ford
Theater. 1t is recorded that the men who
came to Mr.. Ford's assistance in the con-
struction of the building were Messrs.
George w. Riggs, James G.. Mcclure, Cor
nelius Wendell, Thomas Berry, Hamilton
J. FAINT, Richard Wallack. Walter Lenox,
Buckner Bayliss and John E. Coyle and
some others, who each subscribed $1,000.
James Clifford was the architect and su-
perintendent. When Mr.. Ford made this
purchase with the idea of erecting a mag
nificent theater on the site of the old
church, where comedies and tragedies
would be rendered by the great actors and
actresses of the day for the delight of ap-
preciatiye audiences, he little thought he

last week with his left arm in a sling and
his hand in bandages. While riding Id an
automobile in Philadelphia, on his way tc
the station, the plate glass door of the
vehicle was broken and a piece Of glass
falling on the back of his hand cut it to
the bone. He was unable to move his
fingers, yet while suffering great pain, did
not think his hand was permanently dis
abled.

Scourge of the Locust.

OF the 100000 square miles which
the worlds land surface comprises, 49,
100000 are more or less continuously SUBJ

of native wars combined, or, for that mat

England and the South African republics.
Thus the question of fighting the locust is
