Rev. John HTorehead, of Baldwin. is a
candidate for reelection as chaplain OF
the house in the coming legislature. So
far there are three candidates for chap

chaplain worse than the senate, or are
the chaplains afraid to tackle the job
in the senate?

The Hyposcope.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe,
The hyposcope is an instrument which
enables the soldier to aim at his victim
unseen and out of danger. 1t Is an instru-
ment which three years work Of the best
instrument makers of Great Britain has
developed and which Is soon to be brought
out. 1t is the leading talk of ths British
army In its makeup the tube contain ng
the sighting mirrors is adjustable. When
the rifleman looks through his hyposcope he
gets a view of six degrees and sees both the
front and rear side of his rife at the same
time. His enemy must perforce expose him
self to aim and fire while the hypo-marks-
man is quietly lying behind his cover and
may smile without danger behind his hiding
place Has war at last reached this low
ebb of heroism?
A company of 100 men using the hypo-
scope skiilfully would be able to kill 100 of
the enemy and wound 20 more in less than
five minutes. A regiment safely intrench-
ed could kill more men in half an hour than
the federal and confederate forces lost in
three days fighting at Gettysburg 1t could
put hors de combat more men than Napo-
leon lost at Waterloo. Where 1900 men
nearly lost the battle Of Santiago. one regi-
ment with the hyposcope could have won it
without the loss of a single man In the
trenches.

The Name of the "Artist." I"

The prevalent glorification of handicraft

crous extremes. 1t Is all very well to be in
formed by what "artst-artisan'' the book
cover was, stamped. the stained glass win
dow put together, or the half-tone plate
engraved. but one Of our contemporaries de-
voted to exploiting the fashions carries the
principle still farther. ut is something"

stop with the aff1xing Of the milliner's sign
manual? Are other trades to be discrimi-
mated against. Instead of a mere trade

write HIS autograph In pink icing on his
monumental cakes? 1t is only justice to al

LIKE MAN, LIKE HORSE"
The Characteristics of the Owner Often
Shown in the Animal

From the Detroit Journal.
I've always had notion that the horse
is like the man, I'm other words, that the
horse is often what his owner makes him.
Recently / came across the following bit OF
wisdom in a farm paper, and, the
writer's ideas are exactly my own, l cannot
refrain from quoting his thoughts today:
The excitable horseman,' he says, will
have horses just like he is himself The
man without horse sense Will have a horse
with the same poor sense. The man who IS
loud when driving will have boisterous
horse, and no one ought to blame the horse.
The man who stops his team with a drawl-
ing 'wh-o-a' will have team that will
stop in the same manner-that is, they W II
take two or three sseps after they are tod
to stop"
might quote more but enough is enough.
You get the idea What's more, you all
know living examples of the kind of horse
men referred to. You-of course-aren't
built that way; but the ''other fellow" often
is. Too often. And usually. he blames the
horse for his own shortcomings. Once in a
while. probably. he licks old "Dobbn' or
Jim" for some fault that in reality is his
own. 1t isn't fair! Train or drive or Use
horse properly. and. nine out of ten times.
that horse behaves himself and does all that
is expected of animal.

is that both horses pay no attention what
ever to either command whip. and II
takes a "reg'lar earthquake" first

Another spoiled horse has been. allowed

HARD TO OBTAIN.
Difficulties Encountered When Evi-
dence of Street Accidents is Solicited

dence of Street Accidents is Solicited.
ITO get the names of witnesses in
street accident is often difficult. The ma
jorty of people who happen to be looking
that way when the crash comes do not un-
derstand why their names are wanted, and
the policeman on the beat has to do deal
of cajolng and threatening before he can
extract the desired information" said
member of Major Sylvester'S finest
women are especially hard to manage.
At the first suggestion that they tell who
they are they become indignant and retort
with some sharp phrase rather more ele-
CANT than, but equivalent to, None of your

tantamount to an accusation of guilt and
mere preliminary to immediate arrest.
Even when assured that they are above
suspicion they hesitate to give information,
and generally wriggle out Of the difficulty
by declaring that they did not see any
thing, after all.
''The average. commonplace business
man Is the most accommodating of all
people whom officer has to interview at
such times. A man of more prominence
puts such high value on himself and on
his time that he Is almost as hard to handle
as q woman, while the very ignorant hold
back through positive fear. In their opin-
ion, the first word addressed to them by a
policeman Is a sure passport to the nearest
police station. and they do not care TO take
any chances on discriminating themselves.
There parts of the city, however.
where not dearth but plethora of testi-
mony is the disturbing element. In the
streets where the acciiratized foreign ele-
ment predominates there is a free fight
among the witnesses for precedence in tes
tifying and young men and boys who were

was run over or the wagon upset volunteer

prodigality of evidence is fully conf,is-
ing as the lack of it, and no matter which
kind of crowd a policeman strikes he has

from the hysterical bystanders where to
place the blame.

"CHEERFUL" FUNERALS.

From the London Mall
Many people find it difficult to realize
that the old-fashioned funeral. with it's
somber hearse black horses and it's at

handkerchiefs. Is now almost a thing Of
the past and survives only among the
poorer classes.
