The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-02

The British troops went into the
Boer war wearing uniform coats of
color between that of boiled lobster
and cardinals hat; they came out OF
it wearing the very subdued and mod
est khaki. II did not take them long
to learn that the brilliant red made
first-class target for the Boer marks
men. Heretofore the summer uniform
of the Russian troops has been white.
White made a fine background for gold
lace, vari-colored ribbons and ornate
decorations. But the order has been
promulgated from ST. Petersburg that
the summer uniforms for the Far East
army shall be dun-grey. The Japs
are quite expert with long-range rifles,
and spotless white uniforms would in
vite accuracy of their fire. Thus the
picturesqueness of war is departing.
The modern army travels on it's stom-
ach, actually as we'll as fguratively,
when going into action. The advance
lines crawl along the ground, taking
careful aim and picking off a man of
the enemy wherever one can be distin-
guished. The wise belligerent, there
fore, makes himself as inconspicuous
as possible. Fancy uniforms are pref
ty for the pomp of military displays in
peace, but when there is fighting to be
done the sober colors are in demand.

New York is to have an office build
ing devoted entirely to physicians. 1t
will be a tall structure, containing
sixty suites of apartments. No per-
son who is not a reputable, practicing
physician will be permitted to have
an Office in it. There will be no bulle-
tin or directory in the lobby, but liv-
cried attendants will meet all visitors
and conduct them to the Office of the
physician desired to be seen. Each
suite of offices will be provided with
every modern appliance and convent
ence suitable for a doctors office The
idea of this building grew out of the
Discrimination of many leading physi-
clans to have their professional and
home life so closely associated as is
unavoidable when the doctors Office is
in his private residence.

Iowa News Notes.

IOWA NEWS NOCSSS
Iowa was visited with fine rain
last Sunday evening, for which we
are devoutly thankful. Fine local
showers have covered different por-
tions of our section of rice country
around about Iowa and planters are
very much encouraged, the rain hav-
ing helped irrigation out cOnsidera-
bly,.
Winn Lyons came home from Welsh
to attend Children's Day exercises on
last Sunday.
Children's Day exercises we're eX-
cellent and all we'll rendered. The at
tendance was good but not so large
as it should have been, and those who
did not attend certainly missed a
good thing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher Wilm0re re-
turned from the north where they have
been spending some weeks visiting
relatives and the st. Louis fair. They
express themselves pleased with their
visit but thoroughly tired out and
glad to get home again.
The Sunday school convention at
Belville was we'll attended and an in
teresting and helpful program render
ed. The attendants from Iowa were
Father Lightner, Baxter Melindy,
Robert Irwin, Mrs. Levi Spaulding
and two daughters, Fred Lightner,
wife and daughter and Mr.. Lyon, son
and daughter,
The little two year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. r. Jones narrowly es-
capped death from being kicked by a
mule. The little fellow was playing
in the yard and the mule, wanting wa
ter, jumped over the fence and kicked
out his heels, striking the boy above
the left eye, inhiCting an ugly cut. DR..
Calvert was called in and dressed the
wound nicely, having to take several
stitches, but said the skull bone was
uninjured, the blow being little too
high to hurt him seriously. 1t was a
bad scar and an ugly blow but we are
glad that it is no worse than it is.
Died, On last Wednesday, June IS,
1904, an infant of Mr.. and Mrs. New
conner, living north of Iowa. This
babe was one of the twin babies that
came to gladden. the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Newcomer several months
ago and We truly sympathize with
them IN the loss of one Of their dear
little ones.
The fast train at noon Sunday
struck fine mule belonging to Tom
Jones pitched it about hundred
feet, turning it over and over, COM
pletely demolishing it. Our town
stock is given too much freedom and
loss is a sure consequence.

In his description of sports in Eng

years ngo, described the game of throw

by both legs to peg. and would be
throwers paid SO much SHY, just as
they do now at a cocoanut, only the
cock was more difficult to hit, because
he lodged the missile. The word
"cockshy" is a survival of this elegant
amusement. Another version of 1t
was "to put the cock into an carthen
vessel made for the purpose, and to
place him In such n position that his
head and tail might be exposed to
view. The vessel, with the bird In 1t,
was then suspended across the street
about twelve or fourteen feet from the
ground. to be thrown at by such as
chose to make trial of their skill.
Twopence was paid for four throws,
and he who broke the pot and delivered
the cock from his confinement had him
for a reward"

All at once she felt 1t giving. A key
had been turned from the inside. She
heard the reused doorkecper shuffling

per and tugged with all her strength.
A buzz of talk that the stout panels
had deadened clamored loud in her
ears. She saw nothing but n broad
aisle, above whose center hung an enor
nous, many prismed chandelier, glanc
ing back the sunlight.
Tears burned her eyes to mist, and
her throat was choking Out of the
mist as she stopped the crowded body
of the hall stupeilcd her with people.
The sound of voices rising as she had
entered stilled in an instant to silence,
broken by an exclamation and the taut
blow of n gavcl. She was dimly con-
scious of men--bewigged, dressed most
ly In black and snuff color, with white
neckcloths-o or two on their feet.
Her fingers under her cloak claspcd
| tight the precious packet-so tight SHE
could feel its ridges cut into her flesh
| and n clammy faintness was upon her.
Suddenly this left her, and the jar
ring walls drew into place.
She was standing in the center of n
square room, plain walled, with three
tall barred windows at each side hung
with green Venetian blinds In front
of her was raised, square rostrum
leaning over its desk, an elderly man
gazing down. Surprise seemed carved
upon his features, and, looking, she
| felt n dreadful hysterical desire to
laugh.
| Below on the floor and facing her
stood short, stout old man, with a
bald head and fringe of white hair.
His kindly eyes, behind great iron
trimmed spectacles, gave her confidence.
| 1t came to her in n flash that this was
the great DR.. Franklin.
Quivering, she stood before him aud
courtesied low. Then she raised her
hand and gave him the packet.
Everything cloudcd after that, and
the ground was swaying. She saw
him break the seal to unfold the paper
and start as he bent his eyes upon it,
Through the buzz of whispered curios.

Then, as they reached the doors, a

metal striking against the wood.
