The Duke of Wellington once declar-
ed that there was nothing so stupid as
a gallant officer, and correspondent
OF the London Times complains that
while the British officers are as brave
as brave can be they are mostly 'stu-
pld." This charge Is not brought
against the British navy. In explana-
tlon of it Navy and Army Illustrated
says: when an army officer is careless
or stupid in handling his men, he rare
ly kills anybody. 1t is otherwise with
a naval officer. IL he is careless or stu
pid, he viii in all probability not only
come to dismal grief himself, but will
bring 1T on others, Therefore there is
perpetual stimulus to efficiency in the
case of naval officer, and his superb
ors have n powerful motive to he sharp
with him. An easy going colonel or
general may tolerate shams in field
days and maneuvers, but the admiral
or captain who wants to sleep with
| some confidence that he will not be
walked by collision or a stranding
| cannot make light of neglect on the
part of the officer of the watch Army

HOyses In BnttIe.

One of the most curious sights to be
seen in a cavalry charge is the various
riderless horses galloping in the line In
perfect order. At the charge of Baln-
klava the front rank of one regiment
was composed to a great extent of rid
erless animals, their masters having
dropped one by one. 1t would seem
that in the excitement Of the moment
the horses lose all conception of what
Is happening around them and proba-
bly, fell to notice the fall of their rid
erS.
The return of rideress horses to
camp is an almost certain sign OF de-
feat. When o cavalry charge Is sue
cessful, the horses will, as / have said,
all keep up together, even though they
have lost their riders, but when n force
is routed the first news of Ill omen to
those in the rear will be the return Of
the horses with empty saddles and
stirrups dangling free. No more sorry
sight can be imagined. TO Illustrate
the callous feeling these animals have
under fire case which happened at
Ladysmith during the siege may be
cited. A farrier sergeant was engaged
In shoeing an officers horse in the open
ground behind the stables of hotel
and had already put One or two nails
into the shoe when shell came scream
ing through the air, The next mo-
ment the missile burst Ave or six yards
away from where the sergeant and tho
horse were standing, ana the splinters
flew around both, but failed to touch
either When the smoke had cleared
the horse was to be seen with its foot
still in the mans apron, quite undis
turbed by the incident. - Pearson's

Jeukinson's On ening.

The old way of doing business has
been so changed that if one of the old
timers were to step into an up-to-date
store he would instinctirely feel for his
change thinking himself in show
which required an admission fee. The
greater part of last week, that live and
hustling merchant W. E. Jenkinson
had his store converted into the at
traction of attractions. and by inform
inc the public through The TINES of
his opening, crowds took advantage OF
the opportunity. and the whole week
his store was filed with purchasers. A
close observer mixing in that multitude
of buyers could CRAFTY his curiosity by
studying the various class of buyers.
There was the father laying in win

household, there was the mother buy

were displayed in the most tempting
manner, trimmings and laces, ribbons
and draperies OF every description were
so arranged that it was almost an i'm

All this was before we dropped down

presided over by Miss Lydia Coppedge,
who, while up North this summer didn't
do a thing but study all the fashions
