An amusing extract from Bel.
gian paper gives the following in.
cident:
A woman whose husband had
lost his life in a railway accident
received from the company 10000
francs by way of compensation.
Shortly after she heard that a
traveller who had lost a leg had
been paid 10000 francs. The wild
ow at once put on her bonnet and
shawl and went to the Office OF
the company.
Gentlemen, how is this?" she
asked. "You give 10000 francs
for leg, and you allow me only
10000 francs for the loss of my
husband!
Madam" was the reply, "the
reason is plain. Twenty thousand
francs won't provide him with a
leg, but for ten thousand you can
get a husband. Eek.

A Query.

lnasmuch as life here is more or
less of a military character, why
would it not be a good idea to
conduct a school of tactics through
the columns of The MIRROR? It
would not only be instructive to a
great many who have never had a
military training, but it would
promote a general understanding
of the different commands and
their execution, and would furnish
an interesting topic to all. I'm
doubtedly there are many here
who are thoroughly instructed in
military tactics who would be
glad to contribute problems and
their solutions to this column. It
seems that a number of the COM
mands given are confusing to some
of the men.
The other day while company
was marching in column of "twos''
the command column right" was
given. The leaders solemnly ex-
ecuted "column left" and no one
seemed to notice the error. There
also seems to be room for i'm
provement in the different ''fac-
ings." For my own instruction, [
would like to know if the COM
mands guide right" or "guide
left" are supposed to be given
when a company is marching in a
column? Will some kind hearted
gentleman please step forward and
keep the "ball a-rolling" by fur
nishing the information desired
and at the same time give some of
the military experts a few prob
lens to think over. G. F.

insane Armenian Cause of Lively
Scene In New York.
New York, Dec. 3.-After driving his
employer and others from a candy
shop in Brooklyn Carabad Krikorian,
an Armenian, barricaded himself id
the place and resisted arrest until he
had been shot to death by detail Of
policemen who had been summoned to
the scene. Krigorian fired several
shots, but none of the policemen was
wounded.
The Armenian had been acting
strangely for some time. He demand
ed money, which his employer says
was not due him, and when it was re-
fused he threatened to kill every one
In the shop. With drawn revolver and
q huge cutlass which he found lying
near at hand the mailman rushed upon
those in the shop. All succeeded in
escaping to the street and a few min
utes later several policemen from q
nearby station appeared on the scene.
krikor1an barricaded himself and a
demand that he open the door was
answered by a shot. When the door
was forced the mailman rushed at the
policemen, welding the cutlass and
firing at every step. Fearing that one
OF their number would be hit by the
flying bullets the policemen opened
fire and moment later the Armenian
went to the floor with bullet in his
side. He lived only few minutes.
