Gallantry Cancels Sentence.

Rather a touching story m from
the Far East, says the Paris CORE
spondent Of the London Telegram. 1t
is that Of a soldier, who, by his gal
lantry, is not only on the point of OBJ
tanning a decoration, but is. moreover,
SO fortunate as to have a sentence Of
ten years imprisonment Cancelled.
some little time ago the man, who is
serving in the Foreign Legion, risked
his life at the call of duty in Madagas-
car. and his colonel asked thai he
should be rewarded with the Cross Of
the Order Of the Legion of Honor. The
general in command replied hat he
would be most happy to propose the
soldier for this distinction, but that he
must first of all. in compliance with
the regulations, furnish documents eS-
tablishing his identity. Men who enlist
in the Foreign Legion are not invaria-
bly, roubled with searching questions
about their antecedentS, and many Of
them enroll antecedents, and many of
names. 1t had been the case with
this soldier, who, when he was in
formed Of the condition. declined to
supply the needed evidence about him
self. Later on the battalion was re-
moved to Tonkin, and there again the
brave fellow performed a feat of gal
lantry, which led his commanding of
ficer to make another application on
his behalf. A like reply was returned
by the general, out this time the sol
der decided on giving full details of
his previous life, and then it was as
certained that before he enlisted in the
Foreign Legion he had been condemn
ed to ten years rad labor for having
in the course of a scrimmage SO in
jured a man that he died. Considering,
however, that the soldier had by his
%gallantry and good conduct atoned for
this blot on his record, the general
has sent in his name for the cross, and
he will probably obtain it.

LAUGH On THE SOUTHERN.
How n Whole Car Was Occupied by
u Crowd of Funeral at
the Roads Expense.

There's a big laugh almost from one
end of the Southern to the other over
the experience that a conductor had
with a funeral party the other day."
said a conductor last night. "A negro
who works for the Southern wired from
some point in Georgia that his brother
had died in Mt. Airy, Ga, and he asked
for transportation for himself and flu

tation was wired at once. the telegram
reading:

name was) and funeral party to Mt.

When the train came to the station
where the mourning brother lived the
conductor thought he had struck a
colored excursion. Negroes of all sizes,
sexes, ages and conditions were on the
platform and at once began to pile
into the cars. When the train started
again the conductor walked up to a
negro and said:
Ticket, please

"'Who?'

they too him to the dead mans broth

The colored brother heaved a heavy
sigh and showed his telegram.
"tAud you mean to tell me- said the
conductor, that all this tribe of folks
compose your funeral party?'
Yes, sir, they do said the brother
between sobs.
We'll, pull yourself together and
come on here with me and show me

ELECTION DAY DUTY.

Election day indications point to
victory for the Republican ticket by
the majority predicted by Republican
managers, The campaign has been
conducted on a conservative basis and
forecasts have been made with view
to exact accuracy rather than the rad
ical claims which usually mark the
closing statements of political can
vass.
The only thing that can defeat the
Republican party today Is the stay-at-
home and split-ticket vote. The Re
publican organization is the best and
most thorough the party has had in
any campaign yet held. The workers
have been enthusiastic and unrclenting
in their labors covering each precinct
with repeated detail canvass that has
kept in close touch with the sentiment
Of the voters. The party managers
have been watchful and careful, the
candidates earnest in their canvass
for the straight ticket. They have done
their full duty by the party and its
sterling principles. The united sup
port they deserve rests with the vot-
ers.
Having its origin in the promotion
of an Independent movement previous
to the party conventions, this
campaign has been characterized by
frequent assertions from men who
ought to know better of their inten-
ton to break away from strict party
rules and either not vote at all or di-
vide their ballot among the candidates
OF both parties according to personal
preferences. The campaign has largely
eliminated this factor or has at least
lessened the obvious dangers Of gen.
eral action along these lines. Should
the vote. however, go against the Re
publicans to any great extent, the split
ticket man and the stay-at-hOme will
properly be held responsible.
Oahu county as a whole Is naturally
Republican stronghold as demon
strated by two election contests in
which Republican opponents martialed
their strongest organizing power. The
present election Is more vital If II be
possible, to the progressive welfare or
the community. 1t will be sad re-
