Leayenworth and Rile Kan, the six
ceiying the most attention just now
A large portion of the appropriations
which have been made for barracks
and quarters for the army have been
expended or will be expended on these
post until they are enlarged sufficiently
to meet the demands of the army.
From military point of view, these
posts are considered the most i'm
portant in the country Their en-
largement is the result of careful
study OF the geographical situation, as
well as from a transportation stand
point. In these days the railroads
are an important military factor
These post, when completed, will &C.
commodate more than a full regiment
OF infantry, as well as a squadron of
cavalry and two or three companies of
I field artillery.
A number of other points on the
northern border are considered i'm
portant, and in time may receive the
same consideration that is given to
the present six large posts. Platts-
Durg barracks, N. Y, is just across
Lake Champlain from Fort Ethan
Allen, and may be considered as a
part of the system of defense of which
the fort is the center In time there
will be large military post at
Niagara falls. There are Two forts in
that vicinity now, but the time will
come when they will be one large
military post. There are now a num-

some of which will be still further en-
larged. The important post on the
southern border is Fort Sam Houston.
Tex, while farther east are Fort Nc,
Pherson, near Atlanta, Ga, and the
post now building at Chickamauga
park. Fort d. A. Russell Wy. is, and
no doubt will continue to be, an i'm
portant military post.
1t is noticeable, however, that the
general scheme of military defense
and offenses, tends toward guarding
the long northern boundary line. 1t
is quite possible that lne strong, al
most impregnable forts which Great
Britain erected at Halifax on the east
and Esquimault on the west coasts,
have resulted in the counter moves by
this country in placing the most i'm
portant military strongholds of the
country within easy distance of the
Canadian boundary. In fact, it is
quite true that the growth of these
post in the northern tier of states is
directly attributable to the constant
increase of the military power of
Great Britain at Halifax and Es-
quimault

there-a cupboard, or another room?
"A cupboard, my lord; the earl kept
his papers there"
Have you the key?" Lord Villiars
asked.
Mr.. Craddock examined the bunch
with fine air of uncertainty.

Lord Villiars nodded, and the old
man tried some of the keys; the party
looked on with faint interest. and
Lord Villiars pointed out the view to

looked where he pointed, he added in
low voice. "And the terrace! Do you
see where you and I sat the other
night, Miss Joan?"
Joan blushed. but said nothing. and
presently Mr.. Craddock's creaky voice
broke in upon the chatter of the two
girls.

OUR LAND DEFENSES.
Some of Our Big Military Forts and
Why They Are Located as They Are.


Washington Post-While the
United States has been making great
progress IN the matter of coast de-
lenses, and with modern guns and
more artillery soldiers the seaboards
are in fair state to repel an attack
by sea, the important fact of prevent
ing an invasion by land has not Eeen
overlooked. Under the direction of
the war department, and with the ap-
prevail of the men who make the ap-
preparations, the government is erect
ing chain of forts, or more properly
speaking, military stations along the
northern border that would be of i'm
mence advantage should the time ever
come when it was necessary to repel
an invasion from the Canadian side or
to undertake offensive operations in
Canadian territory
Four of the six largest military
posts of the country are located in
states af the northern border These
are Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, just outside of
Chicago; Fort Smelling, Mimi, be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis; Van
couvcr barracks, Wash, just across
the Columbian river from Portland,
Or, and Fort Ethan Alien, VT The
other two large posts are at Forts

WERE SYMBOLS OF POWER.
Rings in Former Times Invested Their
Wearers With Authority.

The custom of wearing rings is one
of the most ancient in existence-so
old, in fact, that all attempts to trace
its origin are lost in the obscuritv of
antiquity; but the primary intention
of this practice in the early ages of
the world appears to have been as an
emblem of uthority and government
and this was symholically communicated
by delivering ring to the person on
whom they were intended to be con
ferred. In conformity to this ancient
usage the Christian church employed
the ring in the ceremony of marriage
| (which was first adopted by the Greek
church, as symbol of the authority
which the husband gave to his wife
over his household and of the earthly
goods with which he thus endowed
her.
Under the Roman consuls rings
were at first manufactured of iron and
worn only by soldiers and that upon
/ the third finger of the left hand. hence
denominated the ring finger Increas
ing wealth soon superseded an orra
ment of this inferior metal by intr-
ducing rings of more costly materials
and those made of gold were after
ward so very general that ii is related
that after the celebrated battle Of
Cannae Hannibal sent a bushel of
them to the senators at Carthage of
which he had despoiled the slain and
prisoners. Under the emperors The
common soldiers and even freedmen
wore gold rings, although they were
originally prohibited unless personally
given by the emperor The petitions
soliciting this privilege became, how
ever. so numerous that Justiuiap was
ured of their importantly and ulti-
mately permitted all who thought
proper to bestow them. Rings have
long taken conspicuous part as love
tokens. OF all the sorts of rings which

messengers of love, that kind of don.

stands preeminent. Upward of twenty
instances might be quoted from
shakespeare mentioning the use of
this kind of ring.

was prompted by the beatific expires,

The bride appeared. bright-eyed, radi-

The pretty brunette, Miss Catherine

for revenge. Being a trained news

SADIE. That was nearly year ago.
A member of the firm of ]. P. Morgan
& Co. went to the publisher of the
paper which contained the article
about Machen and Beavers and per-
suaded him that all the matter that
was being printed was bosh. The
man who had been writing it was dis
missed and for a time the trouble
that seemed to be coming in the d.
sidetracked. But another newspaper
man was persuaded to interview Sey-
mour w. Tulloch, ex-cashier of the
Washington postoffice. He talked
about things he knew 1t was not
necessary for him to do any guessing.
Postmaster General Payne said the
Tulloch charges were hot air, but
a friend of the newspaper man who
made the first publication, who is also
a friend OF President Roosevelt, went
TO the white house for the single pur-
pose of telling the president that all
that had been said by his friend Tul-
loch was not hot air." Everything
volved in the scandal to blacken the
reputation of the woman Miss
Wood evidently had great influence
with Senator Plat. for he used to
call upon her frequently at the post
office department. They would talk
Tor an hour at a time. Not satisfied
with their conferences at the depar
ment, the senator and Miss Wood
used to meet in the parlors of the
hotel where the senator lived. A
friend of Miss Wood, young clerk in
the Washington postofiice department,
said that Miss Wood, when she heard
of the reported engagement of Sen
ator Platt to Mrs Janeway, almost
tainted Il never saw a person ap-
parently feel so bad as Miss Wood did.

wiped away the tears and declared
that it couldn't be true. A few min

Hear with Their Legs.

One of the strangest and most I'M
expected uses to which one could
imagine a leg being put is that of
an organ of hearing. Yet such seems
to be one at least of the functions of
the forelegs of the crickets. On the
outer side of a tibia small oval
space may be seen, in which the
strong armature which covers the
rest of the body is reduced to thin
and membranous condition, making
thus sort of window, or drumhead.
Communicating with this, inside the
leg, are the ends of nerve, and It
can hardly be doubted, therefore,
that the whole apparatus constitutes
an auditory organ.-Nature.

the carriages as they passed him, and
as the train pulled slowly out of the
station he jumped on the footboard
and entered first-class compartment.
There were only three passengers
