Things seem to be changed If a young man can get an army commis- sion more promptly by enlisting and working up from the ranks than by going through West Point. If the son of an army officer who has resigned from West Point to enlist in his fath- CTS troop makes 1t work successfully 1t may make army service more popu- lar, and, in addition. give a pointer to the navy.

Wood man, Spare that Tree.

WOOd man, spare that free. Woodman, spare that tree!
 Touch not a single bought In youth it sheltered me,
 And I'll protect 1t now. Twas my forefather's hand
 That placed it near his cot; There, woodman, let it stand,
 Thy ax shall harm it not! That old familiar tree.
 Whose glory and renown Are spread OCT land and sea,
 And wouldst thou hack 1t down? Woodman, forbear thy stroke!
 Cut not it's earth-bound ties; o, spare that aged oak,
 Now towering to the skies! When but an idle boy,
 sought its grateful shade; In all their gushing joy,
 Here, too, my sisters played. My mother kissed me here,
 My father pressed my hand Forgive this foolish tide,
 But let the old oak stand! My heart-strings round thee cling, Close as thy bark, old friend! Here shall the wild bird sing, And still thy branches bend. Old tree, the storm still brave! And, woodman. leave the spot; While I've hand to save,
 Thy ax shall harm it not.

Leeches as weather Prophets. !,

Many country people in Italy,
says a traveller, foretell the weather
by means of q leech in an open
mouthed bottle partly filed with
wafer The water must be changed
once atweek and a spoonful Of blood
poured in 1T about as often. When
the weather is good the leech will
remain coiled up at the bottom Of
the bottle. Whenever rain lis near
at hand it will creep up to the top
and stay there until the zweather is
settled again. # wind IS Imminent
it will be very restless and dart
about in the water as though IN
pain, while before thunderstorm
it will appear to be in convulsions.
1t is SO generally trusted that at
shaying time and other seasons when
fine weather IS important the leech
is one of the most useful members

tho coroner was busy inquiring into
the cause Of his death, and uped the
inquest.
At @ picnic given at Pedee, s. c.,
several days ago Hines was struck in
the head with brick by Ishmael, who
was promptly arrested and lodged in
Jail on the charge Of murder. Coro.
ner Dolliver was summoned, and ar
rangcments were made for holding the
inquest. A jury was sworn, and af-
ter viewing the body it was removed
uudor a clump Of bushes to protect it
from tho sun. The jury repaired a

of large oak, there TO hear the tcsti-
mony. Several witnesses were exam
ined, all Of whom testified that Hines
was struck in the head with q brick or
rock by Ishinael. While the jury was
writing the inquest Hines came to life,
the blow having stunned him, aud he
decamped without giving an explana-
tioh to the coroner or the jury that de-
clared him dead officially.
When the coroner discovered that
his corpse had disappeared there was
great CONSERVATION and surprise.
Many believed that Hines body had
been carried into swamp near by by
largo alligator. The mystery was
explained the following day when
Hines called at the coroner office and
told him thatwhilc he and bis jury
were declaring him dead he was busy
coming to life. Ishmael was released
from prison when the facts became
known, much to his delight.-Atlanta

puncture sewn up at the hospital, is

The operation, though not unique,
was q very remarkable one. 1t was
performed by Mr.. Furnival, Of Wey-
mouth street, who was the night sur.
geon on duty. With great promptir
tude the surgeon decided to make an
effort to get at the very cen trs of5 the
wound as soon as the man was brought
in and the conditions q. tie moment
were fortunately favorable. Long
had, indeed, lost q great deal of blood,
but! his life in .he Arst instance was
no doubt saved owing to the blood
having CONCEALED aud thus closed the
wound. & q i5 5 Is

WHERE THIEVES ARE WARY.
Professionals Always Steer Clear Of
the JcWclry Salesman.

the JcweIry Salesman.
a jcwclry salesman came into
Kansas City bringing with him
about 600 pounds Of baggage, says
the Kansas City Journal. Whereas
cigar statesmen end almost all other
travelling men carry only samples.
the jewelry salesman really carries
o stock of goods. He sells direct
out of his sample case, wiring to his
house for duplicates when sales are
made and lines exhausted. When
this particular salesman was asked
what might be the value Of his
wares he said that it would run well
over $4,000 for each box, with per-
haps as much more in his pockets.
"a splendid prey for hold up"
was suggested jokingly.
THAT is all you know about it,"
was the scornful 1eply. 81 would
be the poorest subject for a hold up
and the worst for write up. I dc
not mind telling you some of the
tricks of the trade if you will prom
isc to keep my name secret, because,
as you will observe later on, secrecy
is The badge of our trade" Then
the jcwclry salesman commenced to
explain why it was that he had said
"and about S5,o00in my clothes" by
throwing on the bed in his room
half q dozen little tissue paper
coated pellets. They were unset
diamonds. From another pocket
the salesman produced a black
leather wallet, which c. attained
packets resembling nothing SO much
as seidlitz powders. These contained
smaller stones, from one to u dozen
in packet, each packet containing
stones matched up"
"a man who would hold me up
would be tcndcrfoot," said the
salesman by way Of lecture. s'No
professional would waste minute
on me. We are all bonded together,
and untold money would be spent to
run the highwayman to earth who
would rob one of us. Our people
never let go. Not one thief has cs-.
capped. Thousands of detectives are
turned loose in q day; every jewelry
salesman is notified of the robbery
and started to work. Then come
the Pinkertons and the chase is
Immediately general over two con-
tinents. Diamonds are traced in
less than no time, and watches are
not worth stealing, because they
have to go into the melting pot be-
fore the thiaf can realize on them.
mo jewelry salesman is permitted
to announce his going OF his coming
with brass band nor to label his
trunks diamonds or otherwise in
vite robbery, but he does not go
around with u corps of secret service
men. I expect that most of us are
known to the professional thieves,
but they are also familiar with the
history of their predecessors. 1t
never phys to rob a jewelry sales
man, bank or an express company.
The people back of these men and
institutions have business policy
of spending without count until the
offenders are run down. Nothing
prevents crime like unfailing pun
ishment."

announced that the liberal arts, varied
Industries, education, electricity and

while the transportation building is

Two important buildings upon. which
work has just begun.
The most striking impression con-
veyed By the published plans Of the
St. Louis managers is "a sense Of their
vastness. The Chicago buildings and
grounds covered an area Of one square
mile; those Of St. Louis will cover two
square miles., The total exhibition
space at Chicago was s2.2 acres; ut
St. Louis 1913 acres will be required.
The total outlay at Chicago was s27,-
250, 900; at St. Louis $40, ,000, 900 will
be spent. AT Chicago the entire
horse power and machinery in opera
tion was 12, 900, and at St. Louis it will
be $4,000. The "Midway' at St.
Louis will be 600 feet wide and q mile
in length, and will be called tho
"Pike." and thero will be thirty-fvs
miles broadway inside the inclosure.
Mere reoitations Of what is intend,
ed by the managers will not be as, sa,ie9
factory to the general public, how.
ever, as a positive assurance that q
complete display will be ready on the
opening day. All past American ex-
positions have failed 10 this particular.
This should not be the case at ST.,
Louis, where The managers have had
ample means at their disposal from tie
start, as we'll as ample time in which
to provide against any possible tardi.
ness in preparation. Congress gave
the st. Louis enterprise. i've millions
outrisht. as against the paltry million
and a half loaned to the CENTENNIAL.
and this is only small portion Of the
cash available. With practically un-
limited resources and the record Of d
half dozen previous exhibitions to
