other day he was taken for a boy by an
old gentleman who was at the depart
ment of justice to see the attorney
general on business. Mr.. knox's office
is on the first floor of the building. The
waiting room is on the opposite side Of
the hall. The old gentleman had been
sitting there for an hour or more to see
the attorney general. At last Mr.. Knox
emerged from his office to go to some
other part of the building. The old
gentleman mistook him for the Office
boy and, stepping up to him, said:
"Say, sonny, what kind of a fellow is
your boss? l see you coming out of his
Office and presume you know all about
him. l have a little business to trans
act with the attorney general and
would like Il get a line on Mr.. Knox
before tackling him."
Mr.. Knox's cherubic face frightened
and, with a merry twinkle in his eye,
said:
ooh, he's all right. Walk right in and
sit down until L return. l will then
hear what you have to say"
The old gentleman would have then

The billfardists around the Gibson

says the Cincinnati Commercially Trib-

great skill to be successful. One of the
red balls is "froze" in the lower right

line is drawn in. order to make a space
of about eight inches between the line
and corner. The cue ball must be, dirty

CHOICE
The Soldier and His Clothing

At a banquet in Manila General
Chaffee, just back from the campaign
in China, made a speech in which he
deplored the careless dress of the
American troops and urged the officers
to employ good tailors so as to set a
good example in the matter of dress to
the men. b criticism by General
Chaffee, the war department says, is
undoubtedly deserved.
European officers are stick1ers for
proper dress when on duty, and the
farther they are from home the more
careful do they become with their
clothing. Not so with the American
soldier when he gets away. Then the
western idea of careless, swinging gait
asserts itself in all things
The war department officials say
they wish Americans would be a little
more careful in this matter of dress,
but there is no suggestion that n new
regulations are to be 10 I into effect.
The men are all furnished with good,
well fitting clothes. The American sol
der is clad in a uniform that is more
expensive and better fitting when new
than the uniform Of the soldier of any
other nation. The whole trouble is that
he does not wear it properly. He SIM
ply will not keep his coat buttoned
when the weather gets too warm for
him.. The officers sometimes try to
keep the men spruced up, but officers
have a good many things to look after,
and this alone would be a great task.
SO the American soldier swaggers
along, careless and independent, and
his officer is proud of him even beside
the nattiest soldiers in the worldS

A Thirsty Horse on a Hot Day.

How much water al a horse drink
without feeling any i'll effects? Here is
a question that several people connect
ed with a kensington mill are asking
themselves. A man left his horse and
buggy in front of the Office for half an
our the other day, first tipping the
boy a nickel to give the horse a bucket
of water. Soon after the messenger
went out, and, seeing the horse, with
its little bonnet, getting dry, he wet the
headgear and gave the animal a second
bucket of water. A clerk going out for
lunch was moved with compassion to
water the horse, and he was followed
by a travelling salesman, who offered
b apparently thirsty animal a fourth
bucket. The horse drank them all, as
well as a fifth bucket held up to him by
a benevolent boy. Finally the proprie-
tor came out and exclaimed, "That
horse must have some water" He was
old that it had already had five buck
cts, but said: mo matter. Give it a
chance at a sixth. It won't drink um
less it wants it." The horse drank a
sixth bucket of water and still lives

Wellington. ''They have got into the

which is to Embrace Every Spin
ming Concern in Europe, is in
Process of Formation.
WASHllNGlr April 9.-Informa-
ton concerning the formation of what
amounts to gigantic trust embracing
every linen spinning concern on the
continent of Europe has reached the
State Department in report from
United States Consul Mahin, at Reich
en'berg, Austria. For some time, says
the consul, it has been understood that
the Austrian, German and Belgian spin
r,ers OF linen thread had decided to
unite in reduction OF product. From
Paris has come the news that the
French spinners also are to join in re-
ducing the output Of the mills. This
object is believed to be to steady, and
possibly to enhance the price of linen
yarn. Makers Of linen cloth have, dur
ing the fall and winter, suffered from
the high price of yarn, and this enor-
nous combination will make condi-
tions still worse, says the consul.
