An Incident That Happened In the
Ernnrn-Prnaainn War

An Incident That Happened In the
Franco-Prusstan War.
1t is q peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops viii go
through a long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without fiinching and with the ut
most apparent callousness. and the
same men will be struck terrified by a
single trihing incident.
Every war Of any Importance, partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations.
is prolific In incidents of trivial charac-
ter in themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal TO the nat
ural instructive horror of men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days of carnage
and surrounding scenes of suffering.
Such an incident is the one. for exam
pie, which occurred at the battle Of
Worth In the early days of the Franco
Prussian war.
In the heat of the great battle wing
Of the Prussian army was charged by
the regiments of French cuirassiers in
the hope Of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back of the French
infantry. But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unfiinching Prus-
SLAMS. Again the cuirassiers charged,
and again they were driven back by
the withering fire of shot and shell.
For a third time they came down
again. and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer a horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for a moment 1t looked as If they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But In
a moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much In black
and white. 1t was a regiment of cuiras-
siers led at dashing rate toward them
by headless officer sitting upright in
his saddle and apparently encouraging
bis men after having been decapitated
by cannon ball.-Cincinnati Enquir-

The Aims of the Two Great Political
Parties Contraated-
The Democratic party Is coexistent

what it is now namely, to preserve

beginning by a party Of Imperialism.

The Republican party today Is the

from republicanIsm 1t has been the
mission of the Democratic party from
the beginning of the administration Of
John Adams TO keep the federal gov
ernment within the bounds OF the con-
stitution. Il has been the aim or the
tendency Of all the various imperial
istic partles-the Federal. the Wh|gs'

power OF the general government at
the expense of the autonomy OF the
states and the local self government OF
the people. That Idea has now cui-

Picturesque Features of che Seasons
Costumes For the Llnlxs.


Costumes For the links.
While there Is not very much need Of
variation In the styles OF golflng togs,
the popularity Of the game. leading as
1t does In outdoor sports for women,
makes the attempt to originate new
ideas inevitable. The changes may be
so slight as to need label to attract
your attention at all But some little
difference serves to add interest to the
game as well as to crafty woman's
ambition for new clothes, according to
the New York Sun, which notes the
following features:
The golf hat of the season is sensi-
bic improvement on those worn before,
as It protects the face to some extent.
It is in rough straw and Of helmet
shape, bound on the. edge with velvet
and trimmed with a soft scarf Of silk
twisted carefully around the crown.
Then there are the hats Of stitched
pique to wear with the white golf suits.
These are trimmed with the silk scarf
and feather pompons The bamboo hat
Is the lightest and consequently coolest
variety and very pretty in It's light
cream tint One point OF fashion In
hats which must be observed is the abb
sence Of the stiff long quill SO proml-
nent last season. This is said to be en-
tirely out Of fashion, the silk scarf be-
ing quite sufficient. but where other
trimming Is desired the pompons or a
rosette of ribbon Is the thing.
The short skirt of last season was the
first cause Of the lack of grace in this
costume, but the new edict calls for a
length which reaches to the top of the
ankles and is vastly more becoming
than any skirt an inch shorter. Dou-
Bile faced tweed which is plaid one side
and plain on the other is the most pop
ular material for the golf skirt and Is
finished with stitching and made with
either a box plait or an inverted plait
In the center Of the back. Gray, tan
and brown are the leading colors, and
jackets of bright red or green are worn.
Shirt waists In red and pink linen or
mercerized pique are necessary part
Of the golf outfit and are worn with
white pique and ecru linen skirts.
Some striking color seems to be neces-
sary to picturesque effect on the golf
links. and while there is an attempt to
