CHASES STRAWBERRIES.
Liverpool Millionaire Who Travels
Much in Quest of the Fresh
Fruit

The queerest fad of a millionaire
globe trotter is that of John K. Hamp-
ton, OF Liverpool. He made his mil
lions on the corn exchange and holds
the golden key to the worlds pleas
ures. Yet he spends his life chasing
the strawberry, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
When he was working night and day
amassing gold he found that plate
of really fresh Strawberries and
cream was the finest delicatessen he
could have. Fortune smiled on him in
1891, and the following year found him
so wealthy that further work would
have been madness. 1t was early Sep
tember and he went at once to Cairo,
where fresh Strawberries can be OBJ
tanned during that month. Since that
date he has regularly followed the
late spring, and so the strawberry,
ffom Cairo to Algiers, from Algiers
up through Spain from south to north,
and likewise through France. Then,
in early May, when the strawberry
season in that country is finishing, he
crosses to the Channel Isles and
ehases the smiling fruit across to
Cornwall, generally landing in Eng
land in the middle of June. His trip
finishes in Scotland at the end of Au-
gust. when he takes a through ticket
back to Cairo, and SO commences his
tour again.

man ship of the committee on ways and
means.
Some time in May, 1889, Speaker
Reed declared his intention of re-
signing from congress, and that
opened another fight for the speaker
ship in which Henderson, of Iowa;
Hopkins, of Illinois; Sherman, of
New York, and Bingham, of Pennsyl-
vania, were the candidates before the
republican caucus; but it was all over
before the congress convened, and
Henderson was chosen. That is an
interesting story, and it has never
been told before. Here are the facts:
During the six months preceding
March 2, 1899, Henry Casson, ex-sec-
retary of state of Wisconsin, was
candidate for the position of director
of the census. Mr.. Hopkins, of Illi-
nois, was chairman of the committee
on the census. The Wisconsin men
begged Mr., Hopkins to act us chair.

ORIGIN OF AMERICAN ARMY.

Articies Of War Adopted by the Contis
neutal Cou0resa In 1875.
In the month of June, 1875, the Cont

buttons, writes General Francis v.
Greene in Scribner's. The first adopt

The force Of New England troops which,
under the lead Of Massachusetts,. had
assembled at Boston soon after the bat
ties of Lexington and Concord; the Sec
ond appointed George Washington
general and commander in chief of all
the continental forces. raised or to be
raised, for the defense Of American lib
erty;" the third adopted "rules and reg
ulations for the government OF the
arny"-the articles Of war, which, mod
flied and amended from time to time,
still govern the army and form the ba'
sis Of the military law.
This was the origin of the American
army. In the intervening 126 years
nearly 5000, 600 men have worn its uni
form; 1t has conducted with success
five great wars. covering a period OF
seventeen years, and numerous minor
campaigns against hostile Indians and
Filipino insurgents; 1t has been the
chief instrument in restoring order and
inaugurating civil government after
the war with Mexico. the Civil War
and the war with Spain; from its ranks
have come eleven Of the twenty-foul
Presidents Of the United States, and
many hundreds Of men occupying the
highest civil offices. Governors OF
States, Senators and Representatives
in Congress. Cabinet ministers, ambas'
sailors and judges Of the most import
ant courts.
For a people who have never sought
war and have only resOrted to 1t when
reluctantly forced to do SO, the army
has filled large place in our history.
