PAY OF VARIOUS ARMIEs. 1t may
still be said of the soldiers OF the army
of the United States that they are the
best fed, the best clothed, the best
sheltered and the best paid troops In
the world. The Slav soldier, who is
fighting to maintain the prestige OF
the Gear in Manchuria, receives only
twelve cents month. The little Jap,
who is opposing him, receives only
sixty cents month. France pays her
soldiers s1.74 q month, Germany. pays
her soldiers $3.50 a month, and Eng
land pays her soldiers $7.1f. But the
American soldier gets s13 q month in
time of peace, with a 20 per cent in
crease in time Of war.

"Dip An Done Wild It."

Bishop Wilmer, second Bishop of
Alabama and famous raconteur Of the
south, often told the following story:
He had baptized and confirmed an
old negro. signing him with the sign
Of the cross. declaring him an heir
to the Kingdom Of Heaven, and men,
Der of the Episcopal Church South.
In a few weeks the bishop learned
that the old man had severed his
church alliance and was "shoutin'
elder in the A. NJ. E. meeting-house
known as Hickory Stand.
Several weeks later the bishop heard
that he had resigned that membership
and had been immersed, becoming a
professor Of the Baptist persuasion at
the negro church known as Frog
Level.
When next the bishop met the old
negro he asked: Josiah, why did you
leave my church? Anybody hur: your
feelings there. or anything like that?"
La, no, Maise Hooker. La no! De

A STORY OF THE STREET.
Sore Need compeIs Generous sympa-
thy.

Sore Need compeIs Generous Sympa-
thy.
The two worthy young women with
yellow handkerchiefs twisted about
their heads started their automatic
piano playing lively tune on block
Of popular fat houses on the upper
East Side. Then they began tossing
tambourines at each other, spinning
them on their fingers and jingling and
banging them in time with the music.
About 500 children gathered In a
minute with a strong background OF
grownups, and heads in all stages OF
dishevelment appeared In five tiers or
windows. Some of the children began
dancing and Others sang the popular
air that the piano ground out
Then along came an old man. His
beard was struggling and gray. He
wore a battered tall hat, and his poor
old overcoat was buttoned up to his
chin. In one hand was a bundle of
cheap pencils; in the other the walk
ing stick with which he tapped his way
along the sidewalk, for two sightless
eyes stared out Of the furrowed face.
The old man seemed fascinated by
the music. He stood by the curb-stone
drinking it in. A childish smile spread
over his features. The people stopped
watching the tambourine girls and the
dancing children to enjoy his enjoy
ment.
Then one Of the girls started to take
UP the usual collection. The crowd
was not over-liberal. When she had
made a somewhat perfunctory round
there was perhaps 20 cents in the tam
BOURNE.
Holding it before her in dramatic
pose she marched UP to the old man.
Standing before him she dived into the
capacious pocket of her skirt and
handed out little handful Of coins-a
dime, a nickel and Is or 20 cents. This
she chucked into the tambourine in
addition to what she had collected.
"Take this, old man." she said.
She took his withered hand, while
he tucked his stick under his arm, and
she poured into 1t the contents Of the
tambourine. picking up for him cent
or two which the old man dropped as
he transferred the money to the pock-
ct Of his old coat Then she turned
away.
"Hi!" exclaimed a man who watched
the scene. Come here,
She stepped over to him and he
dropped a quarter into the tambourine.
This started the crowd, and for a cou-
pie Of minutes it rained small change
from the windows.
When the whole harvest was in, to
the establishment of every one, the
woman again went to the old man and,
holding his pocket open, spilled the
entire collection into 1t. Then she and
her companion hitched themselves to
their hurdy gurdy and started their
usual swinging stride in an easterly
direction, some Of the children trailing
after them. The old man went on,
tap-tapping his way toward the west.
II wonder If that's a new game"
asked the plain-clothes man who had
watched the scene. IF so, it's bet
ter graft than the kids dancing for
the organ grinder and sharing the
winnings
"Oh, 1 don't know" said the other
man. Il think 1t was all right.

PRussIc AcIp-Prussic acid is the
essence of bitter almonds. 1t Is also
found in the kernels Of all species OF

able fiavoring for confectionery,
though the poisonous essence taken In
a certain quantity, and that not large
is so deadly as to destroy life Instant
ly. It kills by its instant action up
on the nerves, and It Is given medicin-
ally in small quantities expressly as a
strengthener Of them. Besides being
a powerful sedative upon the nervous
system, 1t renders the body less sus-
ceptible to the influence Of excitants
and is consequently calculated to mod

Plutarch informs US that the sons OF

ALAMEDA SEEKS
SPACE At SHOW
Commissioners Argue With
the States Representatives
to the Portland Exposition
DISCUSSION PROLONGED
Proposition Is Made That
California Building May
Be Enlarged to Get Room

Alameda County wants space for a
county display in the California build
ing at the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
In conference yesterday at the Com
missioner's headquarters in the Palace
Hotel, at which the Alameda County
Commissioners were present the Cali
fornia Commissioners to the exposition
set forth that the commission saw no
way, in view of the limited space the
State building supplies for exhibition
purposes, to provide for anything but
a. collective State display with sec
tional representation therein.
The Alameda Commissioners are
WILDER Walker Theodore Gier and w.
II. Weilbye. They were also Commits
sioners for Alameda County at the st.
Louis Exposition. They met the state
ment of the California Commissioners
with the proposition that Alameda
County would gladly provide sufficient
money for an addition to the California
building. Commissioner Weilbye said
that the California building has yard.
1t would be possible, in his opinion, to-
fence in and roof over some of the
outside space and make it an integral
part of the California building without
interfering with the Mission type OF
architecture that has been adopNd.
The California Commissioners did not
wish, the State building having finally
been approved. by the Governor, to
make any alterations in the building
plans.
Then the Alameda County Commits
sioners urged that no representation
was provided for the section imme-
diately about San Francisco and Ala
media County The sectional subdivis-
ions include the Sacramento Valley,
the San Joaquin Valley, the Sauthern
counties, the North Coast counties and
the Central Coast counties as indi-
vidual units. San Francisco is not
doing anything to be represented. The
Alameda County Commissioners, so
said Mr. Weilbye, would be willing to
combine with San Francisco in the ex-
hibition line. The California and Ala
media County Commissioners talked
some hours and the ground was laid
for full understanding of the wishes
Of Alameda County.

GRAND JURORS
Are EXAMINED
Eppingers Challenge Panel
and Individual Members
for Bias and Prejudice
EFFORTS UNPROMISING
Motion Is Made to Set Aside
the Indictments ON That
and Many Other Grounds

When Herman, Jacob and Josua
Eppinger and James Demings ap-
peared in Judge Lawlor's court yester-
day to plead to the indictment charg-
ing them with obtaining money by
false pretenses, motions to set aside
the Indictment were filed by Attorneys
Budd and Murphy on behalf of Her
man and Jacob Eppinger and by At
torney Peixotto on behalf of JoSua
Eppinger. No motion was made for
Demings, but it was agreed that his
case would stand on the same footing
as the others.
The motions were made on the
grounds that the indictment had not
been found, indorsed and presented as
prescribed by the Penal Code; that
the names Of witnesses examined be-
fore the Grand Jury or whose deposit
tions may have been read before 1T
were not inserted at the foot of the
Indictment nor indorsed thereon; that
a copy of the testimony given before
the Grand Jury was not delivered TO
the defendants; that person or persons
were unlawfully permitted to be pres
ent during the sessions of the Grand
Jury when the charge was under con-
sideration. and that there did exist and
now exists good grounds for a chal-
ienge Of the panel of the Grand jury
and individual members of it.
The following members Of the
Grand Jury were examined: 7. p. An
drews, foreman: William V. Bryan,
secretary; George A. Newhall, p. +.
Mccarthy, John H. Speck, H. ].
Cordes, John Porcher, William B.
Bundschu, Andrew M. Davis. d. III.
I4ohsen, John T. Sullivan, G. A. Hare,
f. ]. Bowes and James B. Smith. The
attorneys for the defendants sought
to proves that bias and prejudice exist
ed in the minds of the grand jurors
in filing the indictment. but they were
not successful. Newhall admitted that
at the time of the failure of the firm
he had expressed an opinion, but that
did not prevent him from acting fairly
and impartiaIly.
Further evidence will be taken this
morning. Attorney j. c. Campbell was
present on behalf OF the prosecution.
