A place For His nov.


Sol Smith Russell, who saw humor
in many commonplace happenings,
used frequently to tell Of meeting an
old farmer at a railway station in
small New York town whose philoso-
ply was particularly pat, even though
his deductions were hardly comph-
mentary to the actor, says the Chicago
Tribune. Russell and his companion
were awaiting the train when the old
gentleman walked up, eyed the star a
minute or two and asked:
"Be you the feller that cut up capers
at Parker's hall last night?'
"Aiy company and 1 gave perform
ance there last evening, yes" replied
Russell politely.
Il thought so. was there, and had
to laugh sometimes. I wanted to tell
you about my boy. He's just your way
amt no good for work. Won't stick
to anything, but wants to play clown
and crack jokes all the time. He's got
.a job at the hub factory, but all he
does is to keep the men a-laughin'
when they orter be worldn'. You orter
take him long with your troupe, for
he's the derndest fool 1 ever seenr'

HUNTING CARIBOU.
One, Shot Through the Heart, Ran
Two Hundred Yards.

One, Shot Through the Heart, Ran
Two Hundred Yards.
The caribou is very tenacious of life,
says S. w. Watts in Golfers Weekly,
writing about hunting these animals
IN Newfoundland. My companion used
a 30.40 Winchester and the writer used
an g Mannllcher. With such strong
kuns we were seldom able to stop
big stag with single shot, even when
hit In a vital spot One that the writ
Cr shot through the heart ran with the
rest of the drove for 200 yards, as
though he had not been touched, be-
fore collapsing. When we opened him,
he had only one bullet hole and his
heart was cut In two. Another went
about the same distance ON the jump
with both fore shoulders broken and
bullet through the neck. On several
other occasions the stays when hit
went Off with such strength that when
they fell they dug their antlers in the
ground and turned complete somer-
sauhs.
The first caribou we killed was
fawn. We picked him out because we
wanted meat, and. being young, we
thought he ought to be tender. In fact
however, his meat was almost useless
lean. tough. stringy and very dark
in color. This was difficult to under
stand, and the guides, for some reason,
were unable to offer an explanation.
However, l learned the reason later.
1t appears that during the mating sea-
son the fawns are weaned. The c. '
stag, driving the fawn away from the
mother, wiz strike him with his horns
and chase him half mile. AS soon
as the stag gives up the chase and
turns back TO the doe the fawn win re-
turn; then the stag Will chase him
again. This is kept up for eight or ten
days, with the result that from worry
violent exercise and change of diet the
meat of the fawn becomes for a time
unpalatable.

THE APOSTLES.

EmbIems bestowed Upon Them by
the Medieval Artists.
The medieval artists, having no idea
Of the personal appearance Of the Saw
iours followers, adopted a set Of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon be
came familiar to ALL The emblem of
Peter was either large key or two
keys crossed, which is readily explain
ed by referring to the words Of Christ
CMatthew xvi, 19), "And win give un-
TO thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven" The emblem Of Paul was
sword and a boOk-the latter to remind
the behOlder that he was teacher OF
men, the former to indicate that he was
beheaded with q sword. st. Andrew
was usually figured standing by a cross
shaped like letter y, that being the
form of the cross upon which legend
saws he was crucified. The emblem of
st. James the Great was either sword,
referring to the fact that he was also
beheaded, or a pilgrims STAFF. he being
great traveller.
st. Johns emblem was a caldrOn, re-
ferring to his experience in the boiling
oil st. Philips emblem is an enigma.
1t was n spear and a cross, yet It is
known that he was hanged. st. Bar
tholomew, who was "iayed alive" is
represented with a knife and his skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's en-
blem is a square, supposed TO have
some reference to Christs calling. st.
Thomas, having been pierced with a
dart" is pictured carrying a spear.
The emblem of James the Less was a
club, he having been beaten to death
with a faggot;" St. Matthias an AK, he
having been beheaded. Simon's en-
blem was a saw. The legend says "he
was sawn asunder."

OFFICERS MUST
DRESS BETTER
Many Changes Made Which
Make the Army Uniform =
Cost About 5000

Washington, December 29.-Army
men have been ordered to dress better
hereafter and new and elaborate uni
forms designed to make them look pret-
tier I'm peace and more workmanlike in
war have been devised by the depart
ment
Officers will have to- own a fun dress
uniform, dress uniform. a white uni
form, a woolen service uniform, a khaki
uniform and besides these they are au-
thorized to wear a special full dress
uniform and a mess jacket.
The full dress uniform is about the
same as that now worn, except in de-
tail. IL consists of a froclx coat, trous-
ers or breeches, gold sword belt and
full dress hat, which takes the place of
the hideous helmet. The other changes
are in the details of the ornamental
tion of the coat. There is a good deal
of gold lace on it in various places
The dress uniform is much like the
present fatigue uniform, consisting of
blouse and its accomplishments, the
blouse bearing gold or gilt ornaments
and Insignia, not quite to the extent Of
the full dress coat.
The white uniform is also a blouse.
with the same ornaments and devices
as the dress coat The wooden service
uniform is new, the khaki is the pres
ent field service uniform, and consists
OF blouse and trousers; bronze metal
ornaments and devices are worn upon
it.
Most of the uniforms prescribed by
the new order are already owned by the
older officers of the army. but they
will have to alter their old dress coats
/ into full dress coats. put new devices
and ornaments on their khaki uniforms
land possibly get new dress coats, whit,
uniforms and wooden uniforms.
They win have to get sabres wher,
they now have swords. new collar de
! vices and insignia. and caps instead o
helmets, but the order. though ex
ltremely comprehensive, does not re
quire every officer to get new every
thing it calls for.
What is bothering many of the lieu
B tenants and captains is where thr
. money is to come from. To buy thes
clothes new would cost about 5000
Some protests have been made abOu
the order and it may yet be modified

stewea Apples.

To stew apples so each quarter is un-
broken and so clear one can almost see
through it is an art, and yet it is a sim
pie thing to do if Oae only knows how.
Peel tart apples very thin, cut them in
quarters and remove the cores and
seeds. AS fast as you can peel and
quarter them drop the apples in Il
saucepan in which you have already
placed cold water to the depth Of two
inches. When the apples are all in. put
the saucepan over a slow fire. cover it
till the water reaches the boiling point,
then remove the cover and let the ap-
pies simmer almost imperceptibly till
you can pierce them easily with a
broom splint; then sprinkle the sugar
over them and let them just simmer
until 1t is all melted. Remove the
saucepan from the fire and let it stand
where the apples win get cold before
turning them into a dish for the table.
