Of the Department would probably BIO

Mr.. John Stuart Walker, of Lynchburg,

non Sartoris of the Tenth infantry,
who is stationed at Manila, unless
good and sufficient reasons for the
tender are furnished by the officer.
Lieut.. Sartoris is grandson Of the
late Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow of
Gen. u. S. Grant, who died last month.
Upon the day after Mrs. Grants death
the war department received cable
gram from Lieut.. Sartoris rendering
his resignation. This action on the
part Of the young officer caused sur
prise at the department because 1t
was understood that his ambition was
to serve in the army, and that he was
very well satisfied with his present
position. The war department officials
are Of the opinion that the resignation
was caused by depression over the
news Of the death Of his grandmother,
OIL whom Lieut.. Sartoris was very fond.

There is not much surprise ex-
pressed In Washington diplomatic cir
cles over the news from Berlin that
Ambassador Won Holleben had virtu-
ally been recalled by the German EN-.
'peror. II is at the same time pretty
well understood that Baron Speck Won
Sternberg will be the new German
ambassador at the capital. That DR..
Won Holleben's recall is much more
his misfortune than his fault is the
general verdict among well-informed
people In Washington. He is a skill
ful and faithful diplomat, and 1t is con.
coded, even by his critics, that he has
done much to improve the relations
between the United States and Ger
many. But he has been unfortunate
In several ways.

In q drawer Of a desk In the room
Of the Sergeant-of-Arms at the Massa-
chusetts State House there's an old
belt buckle, green and furnished with
age, but with an indentation 80 deep
that one can thrust his little finger
well down to the joint.
II 10 Major Charles G. Davis's "thim-
ble," and 1t was modelled for him by
a "Johnny's" bullet in the first charge
Of the Massachusetts First Cavalry at
Aide, almost forty years ago The
Major was riding at the head Of the
troop when he suddenly received so
violent a blow in the pit of the stom-
ach as to send him at once to the
ground off his horse For time the
breath was knocked out of him, but
rallying few moments afterward, he
felt that he must be desperately
wounded from the location of the blow.
A comrade came up and an examina-
ton was at once made, and there,
deeply imbedded In the belt plate, was
found the flattened lead of q bullet
which had so nearly punctured the
brass as to drive 1t in through coat
and shirt till 1t abraded the skin. For
days there remained a big black and
blue spot where the buckle had been.

American government. He proceeds
upon the eminently practical, but
sometimes somewhat harsh, theory
that 1t Is the business of German dip
lomatic representative to get every
thing the government in Berlin wants.
DR.. Won Holleben's friends intimate
that the emperor has demanded the
impossible of his ambassador to Wash
ington, and has expected him to per-
form feats far and away beyond the
ability of any human being.
There are whispers that DR.. Won Hol-
leben in some way incurred the dis
pleasure of Prince Henry during the
latter's visit to this country. and also
that the kaiser is angry because Won
Holleben was unsuccessful in inducing
President Roosevelt to undertake the
arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute.

Protection for the Sun Goddess, the
central deity at every Shinto temple,
is furnished by two dogs of granite
or bronze, standing at the immediate
approach to the temple. There can
be no doubt why they are there, for
the art of the sculptor has been taxed
to throw into their attitudes and ex.
pressions so much ferocity that dis.
turbing spirits would be bold, indeed,
to dare modest their charge They sit
on guard, but this does not betray a
needless watch, for their arching
backs. upcurled tails, and their bulg-
Ing necks, fortify well their shaggy
heads. One of them has it's Jaws
open, revealing capacious and raw
enous mouth; the fangs of the other
project from it's clenched jaws; and
the eyes of both challenge the most
riotous approach, and speak for the
gloating pleasure with which they
await the time when they may crunch
and devour.
There were devoiees at the temple
porch, bowling to the round mirror
within, which represents the soul of
Amaterasu, the presiding goddess, and
calling attention to their petitions by
tugging at rope which dangled over
the entrance. and to the upper end OF
which was attached a metallic globe.
resembling an exaggerated sleigh-bell.
The prayers that accompanied this
demonstration were brief and silent,
