ROOT OF DESERTION EVIL.-The passage IN
the annual report of General F. c. Ainsworth the
military secretary of the army. relating to de-
sertfons will be something of shock TO those
theorists OF the service who have for years been
irving TO solve the problem. Numerous excuses
TO account for the prevalence of desertion nave
been forthcoming from all possible sources for
many wears and there have been many reme-
dies as there were reasons advanced Most OF
them related the abolition of the canteen others
placed the blame the fact that the soldier hao

rigid or that he not paid enough as compared

BOY SLEEPS FOUR MONTHS.
Got Dizzy While Swinging Around q
Lamp Post and Fell on His Head.

New York, Aug. %. - Medical
scientists throughout the country have
had their attention directed to- re-
markable case of catalepsy in Yonk-
ers, where Charles Canopi, eight years
old, has been in an unbroken trance
like sleep for more than four months,
and it is probable consultation OF
specialists in nervous diseases from
this city will be called to investigate
the case. An April last while whirl-
ing round a lamp post he became
dizzy, fell to the ground and struck on
the back Of his head. Two days later
he complained of pains In the head
and within a few minutes lapsed into
state of unconsciousness, from
which he has not awakened. Liquids
have been poured into his mouth in
small quantities, sustaining life.

SOME LAWYERS FEES
CLIENTS CALLED ON TO PAY
QUEER CHARGES.
According to London Newspaper
Gratitude Is Not Striking Feature
in the Makeup Of English Peaders
At the Bar Of Justice.

Some curious evidence was recently
given in a case which turned on a
solicitors charge, one witness testify
ing that the man Of law had remarked
that "winks would have to be paid
for" says Stray Stories, London.
! That some very curious items are
found occasionally in a solicitors bill
Of costs was amply borne out by
legal gentleman whom representa-
tive of this paper recently consulted
on the subject.
"A managing clerk who was once
In my employment" began the man OF
law, made such favorable impress
sion on client that one day the latter
showed his appreciation Of my clerks
efforts on his behalf by incontinently
taking off valuable diamond pin he
was wearing aud presenting it to him.
"G1hst upconscionable clerk OF mine
actually ro2de charge for receiving
It, as follows:
"'To attending you: Long and spe-
cial interview, when you presented me
with your diamond pin, 1925
"A certain firm of solicitors, with
Offices not many hundred yards from
where we are sitting now, were con-
Quoting case for very impecunious
cliaat who was laying claim to large
sum of money.
Thanks to his legal advisers, he
eventually obtained possession of the
amount, out in the meantime he was
practically supported by his solicit
ors. When their bill was presented it
was a study. But the champion item
was this:
"'To attending you when you re.
ouested the loan Of four cents, in or
der to pay your omnibus fare to
Hampstead, where you were to meet
a relative, $1.65; to advance, cents. >
Here is a pendant to the story OF
the greedy clerk, the grateful client
an the diamond pin. It is absolutely
incredible, but at the same time abso-
lutely true. It concerns another CRATE
full client, who was so overjoyed at
winning a case that he invited his
solicitor to most gorgeous dinner to
celebrate the victory.
"The food, the wines, the cigars
and other concomitants were of the
finest and most expensive kinds and a
most enjoyable dinner was followed
by box at the theater.
However, all through the festivi-
ties the man of law kept keen eye
on his business interests, for in his
bill there subsequently appeared the
amazing items:
"'To attending you at dinner, $1.65;
to attending you at theater, S1.65.'
History does not record what the
grateful client said when he perused
the bill"

Alderman Made to Believe He Killed
Adversary EleeS,

Madrid, Aug. 20. - At a recent
meeting of the council an alderman
made a speech against the prison ad-

The alderman accepted. A hired ad-
versary represented the director, and
at the tirst shot he appeared to fall
mortally wounded. The alderman
