A Test.

The telephone bell in an uptown resi- dence rang few evenings ago, and young woman who was expecting a call rushed to answer it. being sure that one of her admirers had called her up.
 .'Is this - ?'' demanded voice, re- beating the number of the phone in question.
 "Yes,' replied the girl.
 Well" continued the voice, i've are testing the wire. Will you please draw long breath and say very plainly, T will be goodY'
 She obeyed. T will be good,' she said.
 "A little slower and little more dis tinctly now, please"
 tI-will- said the young woman, trying her best.
 .'No. That's not right at all," cor rected the voice We must fix that wire, guess. Now make one extra ef- fort and say it again"
 The girl caught her breath. II will be good!' she shouted.
 "You will, will you?' laughed the voice. "Well, I'm glad to hear you say so. You were decidedly unpleasant the last time called.''
 And just then the man at the other end of the wire rang off,
 Now the young woman is trying to discover just which of her admirers played such a detestable joke on her. Philadelphia Press.

Tommy visuaIizes His
 Idea of an Old Favoritc.

MN q certain school out west means
 and methods of education are used
 which to the unenlightened mind appear little less than startling.
 For instance, the children sing a song. Then each of them makes a drawing which is supposed to illus trate the song which has just been sung. In this way the power of the pu- pills to visualize their conceptions is fostcred.
 The other day the music of 'The Old Oaken Bucket" was started, and every body joined in the singing. Then they all sat down to make picture of what the song meant to them.
 Tommy, one of the youngest of the class, turned in a truly original sketch. He had drawn what might have been meant for circle and within it had outlined what appeared to be three wastebaskets all in a row. Under meath this diagram was sprinkling of fly specks, or was it representation of microbes as they appear under a magnifying glass?
 The teacher looked at the drawing for moment and then admitted that she was puzzled.
 She put her forefnger on the left hand figure in the row of three inside the circle and said, Tommy, what Is that?''
 "Why, teacher, that's the old oaken bucket.''
 The teacher pointed out the right hand figure of the three.
 "And that one, Tommy?' she asked.
 "Pshaw! That's the iron bound buck ct"
 The teacher pointed to the circle which inclosed the three buckets.
 Whats that?''
 That's the we'll they hung in."
 'tAnd what are thesew she asked finally, pointing to the ragged group of exaggerated fly specks below the rest of the picture.
 Those" answered Tommy, with nev CT tEe ghost of smile in his big blue eyes-"those are all the loved spots which my infancy knew. Chicago Tribune

Colonel Young husband and garrison are in good health and the best of spirits. The story of the attempted surprise on the morning of the 9th is most dramat- ic The Tibetans actually gained the walls of the compounds.

Washington. Sept. SIT is fact,
although not generally known, that
the ordnance experts of the United
States army after months of work,
has at last succeeded in constructing
magazine rifle which is believed to
be superior to any in use in foreign
armies. Every government arsenal in
the United States, with the necessary
facilities, is working night and day
Just now, turning out the new arm,
and 10000 Of them have already been
completed. None will be issued to the
troops of the regular establishment,
however, until 100,000--the number re-
quisite to supply the maximum strength
OF the army on a war footing-have
been completed. At the present rate
of progress this will probably be about
Dec. /, and their issuance will be i'm
mediately begun.
The old rihe-or rather the rife
which has been in use since the Span
ish-American War-will be returned to
the arsenals and later re-issued to the
various militia organizations now arm
ed with the ancient Springfield rife,
which is regarded as almost as obso-
lete as the old flintlock or percussion
cap guns.
The Old Springfield.
During the Spanish War,
as is well known, many of the regular
troops and all of the militia, were still
armed with the old Springfield, firing
plack powder and carrying a 45-caliber
pall that made a great deal of noise,
ala little damage, and was absolute
~ ineffective at long range.
The Disadvantages under which the
United States troops labored as a re-
suit OF their obsolete small arms are
100 well known to the public to bear
Iepetitino but ii is interesting TO note
mat the Spanish American War, II It
ala nothing else, awoke the army au-
tnorities to the necessity for keeping
aoledst Oh the times in ordnance con-
struction. The United States maya
zine rifle, which was being introduced
IN the army when the war began, was
considered good weapon, but the adj
vance made in the last few years as a
result OF careful study and exhaustive
experiments may be understood when
u 10 known that the rife now IN use
ana the arm which Is to be intro
duced In December, next, have no two
points In common.
Look Like wooden Guns.
The most noticeable difference be-
tween The old and new arm apparent
ar hrst glance, Is the fact that the bar
rel OF the latter arm Is entirely cover
~ with wood. This innovation was the
result ~ practical uFFastlona-- made
20 the ordnance officers by ENLISTED
men of the army. Following the CANE

component parts and is so complicat-
ed that it is freely predicted that If an
enlisted man takes it to pieces he will
land in the guard house and his rifle
in the repair shop before 1t is ever got
together again.
Army Equipped by Jan.
One thing is considered certain, how
ever, and that is that by January LIST,
1905, the United States Army will be
provided with the best magazine rifle
now in use in any country, big or little,
and it will not be very long before the
enlisted personnel will know how to
use them. 1t is hoped by the ordance
experts that the new gun will prove
to be not only abreast of small arm
construction, but somewhat in advance,
so that it will be unnecessary to make
another change in the weapons of the
United States army for a good many
years to come.
