and to his efficient coaching much of
Heimerl's success that year was due.
Previous to then his brother Louis
was considered the superior twirler,
but Eddie's strong left wing continued
to make good and he has rapidly ad-
vanced to position where he is quite
generally reputed to be the best am
ateur twirler in the state. 1t may be
said that his splendid work of last
season and thus far this season well
entities him to that distinction In

HE COULDN'T SHAVE.
And Yet the Barber Was Man of
Rare Attainments in Ecien-
tific Learning.

A famous arcbeologist went to his
club recently, his countenance disfg-
ured at several points with sticking
plaster, says the Homiletic Review.
There was general inquiry among
his friends as to what was the mat
ter. Razor said the professor,
briefly. Good gracious! Where were
you shaved? ?" asked one of the young
er members, sympathetically "It's a
strange thing" said the man of learn
ing. 81 was shaved this morning by
a man who really is, l suppose, a
little above the ordinary barber.

also of my own knowledge that he has

"What is he barber for exclaimed
the younger man, with all those ac-
complishments?
ooh, he isn't barber said the
bookworm, yawning. you see

great many men who get into the

rliIitary Difficulties i'm China.

The Chinese who fought the allies
at Tientsin showed that they were well
armed and we'll trained in the use of
modern artillery and rifles, that they
were masters Of strategy and tactics,
that they were so Indifferent to wounds
and death as to hold their ground
under the hottest kind of fire, and
that they were so numerous they could
exhaust he'fighting powers of any or
dlnary enemy by replenishing their
line, no matter how many Of their men
might fail. Under these circumstances
every military man well understands
that such force can be defeated only
by combination of the highest gen
eralship coupled with the most COM
plete unity OF action on the part of the
allies constituting the opposing army.
If at critical moment in any action an
order is misunderstood, or if through
a lack Of harmony among the allied
commanders there is delay or INSULT
cient vlgor in the execution of plan,
the enemy may not only avoid defeat,
but he may be able to carry disaster
into the ranks of the western soldiers.
Dispatches from Tientsin Indicate
that the allies barely escaped such a
catastrophe few days ago.
1t is apparent that the Chinese
government has been preparing for
stubborn struggle. Since the campaign
against Japan closed it has bought
enormous quantities of war material.
1t has also established several ammu-
milton factories, which have been long
at work making cartridges and shells
for small arms and artillery. The To-
cation of these factories is well known
and they might be reached and de
stroyed if attacked at once If the ex
listing stock Of ammunition should be
exhausted and the factories dismaI
tied the Chinese soldiers would be-
come helpless mob, no matter how
many Of them might be available for
service.
AS long, however, as the Chinese
show the same fe ehtine capacity that
they have shown recently. superiority
in numbers and in equipment having
been supplemented by bravery and eff
fcient handling. the allied troops must
be heavily reinforced and harmonious
ly maneuvered before they can force
their way to Pekin.-Chicago Record.

4 Decision Regarding Prizes With
Tobacco and Cigarettes.


Judge jackson. of the United States
Court for the district Of West Virginia
has rendered a decision that tobacco man.
ufacturers should be fined 81 coo for Of
fering prizes Of any description with pack
ages OF smoking or chewing tobacco or
cigarettes. A test case was made to decide
whether any penalty is provided for not
complying with the last paragraph OF Sec
ton 10 Of the act approved July "a, 1891.
and also on the constitutionality OF the
act
Judge Jackson decided that section 1856
Of the Revised Statutes provides the pen
atty and that the law is constitutional.
This decision will be far-reaching in its
effects 1t is said by Internal Revenue
officials that the better class of tobacco
manufacturers will be glad to have the
law enforced.
The paragraph under consideration pro-
vdes that packages of smoking tobacco.
fine-cut chewing tobacco. and cigarettes
shall not have packed in or attached to
or connected with them any article or
thing whatsoever. of foreign nature,
and that there shall not be affixed to or
branded stamped, marked. written, OF
printed on these packages or their contents
any promise or offer of or any order OF
certificate for any gift, prize, premium
payment or reward.
II was charged at the time the Dinsiey
bill was passed that the paragraph was
.'sneaked in 1t" by representatives, oil the
tobacco trust.
A. any rate the paragraph was not in
the hill as it passed the House and was
NOT inserted by the Senate and first ap-
reared when the final conference report on
tine Tariff bill was presented to both
houses for their action. Little notice OF it
was taken even then and its full effect
was rot discovered until after the bill
became a law.
The Internal Revenue Bureau, owing to
some doubt as to legality OF the provision.
has not been very strict in its enforce
meut. although they have repeatedly
warned manufacturers to comply with its
terms.
