His Novel Masonic Apron.

Some of the Masons about town are hav-
ing a laugh among themselves over the
misfortune that befell young civil engi-
neer connected with a fiItering concern in
town, says the New York Times. He was
but recently initiated into a Masonic
lodge, and of course received the neces-
sary lambskin apron. This he carefully
folded in bundle, which he took to his
home. where there is a sister who is con-
stently on the lookout for some means of
adding to the comforts of life for this
brother. While rummaging about his
room putting things to rights" after the
fashion of women, she came across the
bundle, with the apron. OF course, she
opened it, and, finding what it was, de-
cided that the proper thing for her to do
was to put the finishing touches to the
thing, SO that the loved brother should
be thoroughly up to date. Embroidery
silks and needles were called into requisf-
ton during the hours the brother was
away on business and the orIamentation
of the apron was done stealthily When
completed the improved apron was re-
placed where the woman first found it.
and inclosed in the paper in which it
was originally tied. The brother took the
priced bundle to the lodge at the next
meeting, and being tri1e late had no
chance to examine it until ne put it about
uIIh preparatory 10 une opening OF the
lodge. Then he hurriedly unrolled and
tied it on, and went among his brother
MasOns to enjoy the meeting. There was
smile all around the room as he took
his place, and the young man noticed that
his brother Masons were cycling him as
if he were the cause of their merriment.
Finally a fellow-m member nudged him and
pointed at his apron. Then the young
Mason almost collapsed, for there EN-

The Boy With the book.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sum-
written after seeing an Office boy at his
desk)
Oblivious to all earthly cares, he reads.
His brow contracted and his hair awry,
His eyes glued to a soiled and well-thumb-
ed page,
His dirty collar slipping through his tie
Who daubed his fingers with that yellow
stain
And closed his jaws upon that wad of
gum?
Whose was the hand that glued him IN
that chair
And sealed his ears and made him deaf
and dumb?
Is this the boy who guards the office door
And answers messages upon the run
Who bars the entrance of the beggar vile
And scares away the man who comes TO
dun?
Is this the lad who one short week ago
Seemed so demure and anxious for a
Job
Who Offered testimonials by the score.
Whose being seemed with love for work
to throb?
What cares he for the scolding of the
clerks,
The jangling bell, the summons, loud and
cross?
Is he the boy whom fiction oft describes.
Who works his way from Office Boy to
Boss?
Whence sprung that tangled growth upon
his head?
Whence came those streaks of dirt upon
his palms?
Whence came this Sight, Ger which the
angels weep
And utter anything but praiseful psalms?
Where did he get those Feet so proudly
sprawled
Before him, over which the passer trips?
Whose hands besmeared his boots with
Shiny mud
And spread molasses taffy DER his lips?
How different he from the Ideal Child
OF whom j. Abbott wrote. the manly boy
Who toiled from 6 a. m. TO 10 p. M.
And couted labor an exquisite joy?
Who'll dare stir up this half-recumbent
youth
Bending, preoccupied, above his book?
Who'll beard this little lion in his den
And stand unmoved before his awful
look
When, goaded to slow madness by some
man
Who rashly asks: us your employer imp"
He degns to raise his eyes from 'Desper-
ate Dick
The Demon Terror and His Deeds of
SinT'
What man so stout Of heart, firm, I'M
abashed.
As to remain serene, calm and unawed
When, in reply, this Awful Youth snarls
forth
whats that? He Amt I'M What's Yer
Name?-Oh, Lordr'

MODERN WARFARE.

Pictures of battles in which lines of men
are standing up and shooting at each
other are now, more than ever, falsifica-
lions of the facts. The time has long
since passed when one antagonist might
stand in plain view and offer his body a
a target for the other. There is an old
saying that IAN army moves upon its
belly" Under modern conditions, it not
only moves but fights in that position;
and while the army is lying prone it must
necessarily seek whatever shield of rock
or tree that offers itself, under extreme
penalty. Within the past twenty years
the methods of warfare have been
greatly changed by the improved wea-
pons that have been put into the
hands of the troops of the more advanced
governments. That this is true is strik-
ingly shown by Julian Ralph, the Ameri-
can correspondent of the London Daily
Mail, at Modder river with Lord Me-
thuen.
In many OF the battles, writes Mr.. Ralph,
the British have never seen a Boer. They
have been fighting an unseen foe. On
the Modder river, after fighting for a
whole day, the British did not know
whether the enemy was north or south
of the river. Il was impossible to tell
whence the hostile shots came. The
snnokeless powder offered no sign of loca-
ton. so the best the British could do was
TO fire at the place from which the sound
seemed to come. There are numbers of
men," writes Mr.. Ralph, who have never
seen a Boer in battle, and know of Off
GERS who have seen only one or two in
one battle and five or six in another"
When the troops of the United States
encountered the Spaniards at Santiago
they confronted new conditions. Often
they could not tell whence came the bull
lets with which they were met. The
spaniards. however had moi the incentive
Of the Beers to do their best fighting.

Colonel chinn,s Joke.

There was a little excitement in one sec
ton of the Capitol Hotel the other day
that caused considerable amusement
throughout the building, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Col Jack Chinn has for
several weeks been occupying room 81 A
coteFfe of over-energetic newspaper men
arrived here last Wednesday and succeed
ed in getting the room next to the Colo
nels, realizing no doubt that in case any
thing was coming off the Colonel would
surely be "in with it," There was only
thin door between Col. Chinn's room and
that occupied by the newsgatherers. AS
the Colonel is something of a rounder him
self and about as foolish as an old red
fox, he got onto the game unusually early
for man who is not actively engag ed as
a detective. Then began a season or
'stringing" the news men. Col. Chinn
concocted gigantic plots and had them
running over town with their tongues
hanging out trying to confirm them. He
got tired of the fun himself and thought
OF a scheme to rid himself of his neigh
bors. He proceeded to oil up firearm that
closely resembles cannon. After slipping
up to the door and peeping through a
crack near the hinges, he said loudly:
I'm going to shoot right through this
door,
In an instant there was a scramble over
the floor and big doings in general in that
apartment Col. Chlnn rushed to,thelr en-
trance door and asked what was the mat
ter Then he added that he invariably OIL
ed his revolver once a day and always
turned the muzzle toward the door, so
that in case of an accident none of his
family would get hurt. In a few minutes
Col. Chinn walked down to the clerks
desk, explained what had happened and
suggested that in case the alleged news
paper men were nervous about the incl
dent he would move his room. THAT is
entirely unnecessary, Col. Chinn," remark
ed the clerk; 1.-THE gentlemen themselves
nave asked for other apartments and have
been accommodate"
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-02-18

II has therefore, remained for the Brit
ish soldiers to go against modern warfare,
or rather modern arms in the hands of
expert marksmen, under the most trying
circumstances. For frontal attack the
old military manuals declared that the
attacking force must be three times that
of the defending force, but to-day" as
serts Mr. Ralph, with the new weapons,
it is said that zen men must attack one.
The reason is that the defender, with his
lOng-range rife, If he has steady nerve
and clear eye can pick off nine men
before his adversary can get close enough
to discover his hiding place. Dig a
trench and line 1t with good Shots" says
Mr.. Ralph, land no enemy can advance
in face of them. They may be outfanked
or starved, but while their ammunition
holds out none can GUST them, for they
can fill the whole plain, over a radius
of at least four thousand yards with
such whitening blast of bullets that no
troops can stand before 1t. If
Germany got in a trench that could not
be turned all the world could advance
and be slaughtered, but not all the world
could Gust the Germans from that trench"
According to the view of Mr.. Ralph, the
Beers have an advantage of at least ten
to one 50 long as they fight upon the de
fensive In the most of the fighting that
has so far occurred ten British have been
equal to only one Boer, land that one in
visible" The modern weapon has given
the defense a ninety per cent. advantage,
where there is an opportunity for the de-
tenders to choose their position and pre-
pare for attack What the result would
be when two armies met upon the open
field, where the terms were equal, is
question which must remain for the flu
ture. 1t might be that the percentage of
casualties would be larger than has ever
heretofore been known; or 1t might be
that, each army nghting upon it's belly"
the number of dead and wounded would
not be greater than in former wars At
all events, it seems that the commanders
Of modern armies win find it necessary
to unlearn much they have formerly
learned, under conditions of twenty to
thirty years ago, and learn that modern
warfare calls for new tactics new attacks,
new defenses and new maneuvering.
