coat on the golf links, and been the
admired of all the fair sex. But now
he has deserted the ladies as entirely
as he has shed his pink coat; mighty
few petticoats are seen in these out
hts. There are few women who hunt
with their husbands, bur they are few
and far between. Woman doesn't take
naturally to the JOY Of the hunting
field, and, besides, when the chicken fe'
Yer gets into mans bones, he hasn't
much use for the sex.
Hunting Is relic OF savagery, and
the truly masculine man wants TO get
off by himself when his fingers itch
for the feel Of the shotgun. And yet
aueerly enough, though woman does
not care for hunting, she admires the
hunter immensely. To her he repre-
sents the strong man, next to the SOL
dler, and strength seems always good
in a woman's eyes. The man accepts
her admiration, but Whine he really en-
Joys her company at times on the ten
mis- court and golf links, and tOlerates
IL on a fishing trip, he looks on petit
coats as decidedly out OF place when
he starts out for the prairie or the
marsh. Perhaps this Is the reason why
he gets himself up in n costume In
which no woman would look ut him
twice.
Long before minstrels sang the glo-
rles Of the chase, or cOurtly edlct made

COL. r. L. MEADE ON TRIAL.
He is Accused of Drunkenness and of Scandal
Gus Conduct.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 19.-Col. Robert L..
Meade, the commanding officer of the
Marine barracks at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, faced court martial today in the
paymaster's building at the yard, on
charges preferred against him by Major
Muchheimer and Col. L. Il. Denny. The
officer is accused of drunkenness while on
duty and scandalous conduct.
Only two witnesses were examined to-
day, the first being Col. F. L. Denny one
of the two complainants, who made a di-
rect charge of intoxication and unbecom-
ing conduct against Col. Meade.
Architect Boring, the other witness tes-
titled. that in company with Col. Denny
he visited the Marine barracks on tour
of inspection pending improvements on
March IS and April 80 of this year and
on both occasions he says that Col Meade
acted in a very erratic manner and while
talking of business appertaining to the
proposed improvements in the buildings
Col. Meade had acted n very strange
way which the witnesses described as be-
ing caused by intoxication. He said that
Col. Meade was incoherent at times and
made sweeping statements as to all con-
tractors having business in the Navy
Yard, saying they were thieves and rob-
bers and made other remarks which were
more forcible than polite.
