sergeant of Royal Engineers, who
has just returned from the front. tells the
following story of Lord Kitchener's stern
sense of justice. In the sergeants COM
pany there happened to be a private who
always did his duty in quiet, unobtru-
sive manner, which gained for him a
certain respect from his immediate su-
perlors and companions. One morning this
man presented himself at the office and
reported that he was i'll and unfit for
duty He was ordered to appear before

who pronounced him in good health and
ordered him back to duty
Against this verdict there was no ap-
peal and the soldier returned to his work.

porary bridge. He found it impossible to
work, says London newspaper, and
mentioned the fact to the sergeant with
whom he was on most friendly terms.
Why not lay the case before Lord

the office now"
"Oh, dare not" replied the man; 'he

Greeley ms a Congressman.

Col A. K. Mcclure gives in Success an
exceedingly interesting pen picture of
HORACE Greeley, whom he knew so well.
Regarding the brief term served by the
great editor in Congress, Col. Mcclure
says:
"Greeley's brief service in Congress did
not give him fame as a statesman. He
was thoroughly, aggressively honest.and
his exposure Of the then existing mile
age abuse by which senators and repre-
sentatives often drew constructive mile
age, and most of them excessive mile
age, moved him in very unpleasant con-
fict with nearly all Of his associates. He
prepared careful table of the exact sum
due to each senator and representative,
and compared 1t with the amount re-
ceived, and there were very few who did
not appear on his table as having de-
frauded the government. His three
months term in Congress was, there
fore, simply hurricane of dispute with
his associates, and he did nothing to
take rank among the accomplished states
men of the nation"

Even the Alabama papers are becoming
interested in the subject, as is seen in the
following from the Montgomery Adver-
tiser: "rhe retirement from public life
of Hon Henry C. Turner of Georgia has
been a distinct loss to the country While

Both New York and Brooklyn are getting
tired of their marriage. A Brooklyn del
egatlon called on Mayor Van Wyck the
other day. During the course of the in-
terview the Mayor expressed the opinion
that not ten votes could be had to-day for
consolidation in Manhattan. The Brook
lynites agreed with the Mayor, and as
sured him that the people on the other
side of the big bridge felt precisely the
same way about the matter. 1t was
thought that the consolidation would re-
suit in a reduction of expenses and taxes.
So far from doing any such thing, the
cost of running the municipal government
is now millions of dollars larger then ever
before, and taxes are much higher. The
municipality is too big and unwieldy to be
economically handled

It is not necessary to act the fool

Our faith in Gods promises oft de-
pends on our faithlessness to His pre-
cepts.
Truth will give up her treasures to
you when you give up your prejudices
to her.
The glory Of the promises is not only
in that they are many but that they
mean much.
1t is foolish to sing, Heaven Is my

To have faith in God Is not only to

that you live to serve Him.

WORKS IN BIG WORDS

City OmciaI Language He Does Not
There is a certain city official who,
although capable enough in his bust
ness, is notorious for his lack of
for his fondness for big words, says the
New York Times. He came to his office
one misty, muggy day and, noticing
that the air was foul, called out to one
OF his subordinates: Open that win
dow and putrefy the air!" On another
occasion, when called upon to take ac-
tion for an infraction of one Of the
city ordinances, he was asked where he
got his Information. "Oh, 1 got word
through a unanimous letter that this
work was being carried on supersti-
tiously." Speaking of his horse, fine
trotter. which he drives almost daily
on the speedway he remarked: Il

hind leg. On another occasion, speak
ing Of severe storm in which he had
been caught, he said: "It was per-

daughter, VINO, he said, was inclined
to be musical, he remarked: Il am
going to send her to the Controversy OF
Music" Once he felt Ill and blue, and,
to a friend, he remarked: II am

DEFECTS IN THE CAPITOL.
whiteness of Main Body Retained BY
Frequent Painting.

Frequent Painting.
Frederic HarriSon's admiration for
the capitol as an architectural work
and the central object OF the Washing
ton landscape is shared by so many
that one can always send a thrill Of
panied surprise through a part Of ev-
cry group of visitors by reminder
that only its two wings are built of
marble, and that for the whiteness OF
its main body we must thank copious
and oft-renewed applications Of white
paint But quite as much astonish-
ment is likely to be felt by most per-
sons at the discovery that the great
dome, which has been the delight of
all beholders, is not precisely in the
axis of the central portico, but about
six feet out of place. Yet such is the
case. 1t has been necessary to resort
to some trickery to deceive the eye in
taking in the whole effect of the edi-
flee, but the cheat has been accom-
plished so cleverly that it may be for
given. Another fact little known to
the public is that the exquisite proper
tions of the dome are the result of ac-
cident, not design. The present lines
do not follow the architectural draw
ings, because when the base of the
dome proper was measured preparatory
to lowering 1t into the collar, which
was already in place for it, it was
found to be too large. The collar could
not be changed to fit. SO the original
base was cut off at the point where the
diminishing diameter would slip into
the collar. The result was most graft
flying. If, as many experts assert, the
present dome is perfect, it follows that
the dome as first designed would have
been imperfect, and II it had been used,
one CT the most satisfactory public edi-
fees in the world would have lacked
large part of its present charm.-Bos-

distance. He can walk along the street
and passers-by can see the eye, but 1t
is much better to keep people guess
ing than have them know that he has
been up against it. How do we do 1t?
simply by spreading little oil paint
over the bruised skin with small
brush; then, while the paint is not yet
dry apply face powder the color of the
skin. The object is. of course, to en-
amel the discoloration. A little care
must be taken for fear the paint will
get into the eye. For this reason 1t Is
easier and safer to paint the outer
corner of the eye than in toward tho
nose. The large number of small
wrinkles in the inner part cracks the
enamel, and there is some danger Of it
getting into the eye. The old-fash-
Toned remedy of placing raw beefsteak

FAMOUS HANGMAN INSANE.
His Ghostly Job Drove Him to the Mad
house.

HIS GhOstly JOB Drove Him to tho Maj
house.
1t was recently announced that
Amos Lunt, the famous San Quentin
hangman, who went mad as result
of his grewsome duties, was dying In
the State Asylum for the Insane at
hangman was a remarkable one. and
full history Of his life at the prison
would read like a CHASTITY romance.
For seven years he filled the ohdce OF
state executioner, and nineteen mur-
derers were hanged by him. 1t was
Lunt who threw the moose about the
neck of Theodore Durant and hasten
ed an execution already unduly pro-
longed, while the murderer from the
scaffold was making his protestations
of innocence. On this occasion Lunt
was reported as being the coolest man
in the room, with the possible excep-
ton of the condemned man himself. On
other occasions Lunt showed nerve
of iron. In one morning he hanged
three men and then sauntered from the
execution room smoking a cigarette.
But despite his apparent utter indif-
ference concerning his work as man
killer it was known my many OF his
intimate friends that in secret he
brooded over 1t. Therefore 1t caused
little surprise when on falling into a
fortune about two years ago he prompt
ly resigned his position. Some months
later he returned to the position and
resumed his duties as hangman, al
though kte prospect OF arranging the
rope on another man seemed to appall
him. He constantly talked about it and
brooded over it, and suddenly one
morning the iron nerve snapped and
he became a hopeless madman.-Utica

She came to this country in 1847. She
was married to Halvor Sonderson in
