ThacIsernx,s Mustache.

In a note on Samuel Laurence's pOr-
trait of Thackeray-that representing
the novelist's face in full-the Illus
trated London News of Oct 13, 1855,
says:
1T is not, we must confess, alto
gether true to his present appearance,
for it wants a recent and becoming
addition to the upper lip in the shape
of a black mustache that contrasts
most admirably with head of silver
gray, but it is like the man and will
be welcome to his many admirers"
The reference here to the mustache
is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray, with one excep-
ton, represents him with a clean
shaven upper lip, the exception being
Maclise's pencil drawing of the famous
'Titmarsh," which, however, belongs
to a much earlier date-viz, about
1S40.- and in which there is just a
suspicion of a mustache. Presumably
the hirsute appendage of 1855 was
merely a passing fancy, which the ra-
zOr speedily disposed Of.-NOtes and

The Bnxs In GrnY.

A question often asked, according to
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form, while the uniform of the army
is blue. The origin of the distinction
dates back to the war of 1S12-14,
when the cOmmissary general of the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield ScOtt's
brigade, and so they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct of
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war of 1912,
a reorganization of West Point Mill
tary academy was made, out of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform of the corps of cadets was
changed from blue to gray.

The Twelve Jurymen.

A prisoner is tried by twelve of his
fellow countrymen. This custom is a
thousand years old, and we get it from
the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each
under a chieftain. When malefactor
was brought to justice it was usual for
each chieftain TO select a man from the
district over which he ruled and COM
pei him to try the prisoner the verdict
of these twelve men being declared by
the judge to be final

ALMOST the first act of President
Roosevelt on his return to Washing
ton was to settle the question arising
in the Government Printing Office
over the dismissal and subsequent re-
instatement of one Miller, who was
not acceptable to the Union. The
President but stated the views held
by ali good citizens whether members
of a union or not. On the question of
whom it shall employ and the qualif-
cations needed for such employ, the
government is and must be the sole
judge. Any other opinion must nee
essarily place the union above the
government and consequently above
and outside the law. In its desire to
emphasize and maintain the great
mission which organized labor is to
perform, grave mistakes are often
made. But such a contention as is
made in the Miller case is probably
the most serious mistake that could
be made, and the threat to oppose
Mr.. ROosevelt's nomination can hard
Iy be seriously considered. The pub
lie will recognize that he has but
done his simple duty. and no Presi-
dent could do less and maintain re.
spectacle position before the people.

emptory demand that Miller should
be dismissed simply because the union
desired it, is no different. Both cap
ital and labor have right to organize
and in organization is the highest
efficiency. Bat neither should at
tempt to run the government. That
is job, which we elect a President
to perform. MiddtetoUn Transcript.

WHERE OLD HATS GO.
Clerk Tells of Unique Scheme Fol
Making Cigar Money.

Making Cigar Money.
Needn't send that old hat home,"
said the customer as he placed the new
ly purchased derby on his head. It's
too shiny around the edges, and it
would just take up room in the closet"
The customer walked out of the store
and the clerk turned to a friend.
"That means cigar money for me-" he
said, land l smoke good cigars at that.
In most stores it wouldn't do me very
much good, as all the discarded hats
are given to the drivers of the delivery
wagons. But here the house allows the
clerks to have the hats, and as result
we make a little extra money. About
once q week the bushelman comes
around to the store looking for old hats,
and when l give him ali | have collect
ed he pays on an average of 10 cents
apiece for them.
after the bushelman has made his
rounds he takes the hats to a shop on
South street, and there they are taken
apart. The silk ribbons and bands and
sweatbands are removed and the hat
given thorough cleaning and new ma
terial and trimmings put on. When ii
is all fixed up it is extremely difficult
to tell it from a new hat, and in many
cases it will sell for as high as So
When you can buy hat for 10 cents
clean it for about 8 cents, put % cents
worth of leather and ribbon on it and
sell it for a dollar or more, you see
where the profit comes in, don't your
