completely vindicated.
Harry went home with his relation
and return his cousins, and then left
with message to his old chum that
he would call on him on the morrow
at his office and "make up" their quar-.

Among the amusing features of the
recent mimic war, one incident is re-
counted by Adjutant-General Thomas
Barry. Chief Of Staff as one of the
most unusual conflicts in the history of
war. Among the points defended by
the Army was signal station on Mon
tauk Point. Here was stationed a
horse battery, intended to cover the
Signal Corps and also intended to be
able to withdraw in case of serious at
tack. This latter duty was not fully
corlprehended by the gallant artillery
men. Accordingly, when the Kear-
surge, the Alabama, the Brooklyn, the
Olympia and all the other big ships of
the fleet sailed up and opened their
batteries on the signal station, bring
ing into play every gun, from the 13-
inch to the rapid fire ones, the defend
ers of the shore displayed no intention
of retreat.
Wheeling their two small cannon into
point blank range, they returned the
fire Of the combined fleet pFaster and
faster came the shots of the horse
artillery. Theoretically they were an
initiated; practically, they were only
spurred to still greater activity. Not
until the umpires signaled them to stop
firing, and later Informed them that
they We're all dead, did the brave gun
ncrs pause. Not since the day of the
MatanZas mule has so unequal fight
been waged so succcssfully.-New York

Among all people the sucking OF the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy of immediate an.

cupping arrangement is employed in
emergencies of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol.
lowed the same methods, and when
Cato made his famous expedition
through the serpent-infested African
deserts he employed many savage
snake charmers, called 'psylli," to fol.
low the army. They performed many
mysterious rites over men who were

Justice,

The difference in human opinions re-
sulting from the lack of an absolute
standard finds no more perfect exam
pie than the practical attempts of men
to define justice. One judge at law
will sentence man to years confine-
ment in prison for an offense consid-
cred by another judge worthy of, say,
ten years. The one makes allowance
for mitigating circumstances; the other
looks at only the offefsc. Which is tho
more just? Considering the definition
Of the word justice, a word best paral-
leled by equity surely the beauty Of
the right dwells with the milder judge

Odd Bridal Customs,

There used to be a custom of strew-

Suppose the way with fragrant herbs

And now suppose the priest had

this custom. The Persians introduce
