Faithful to His Captain.

That was loyal if not very gen.
tie answer once made by private
soldier to Frederick the Great of
Prussia. During a campaign in
Silesia the king made it his habit to
stroll through his camp in disguise
at night, to come into closer rela-
tons with his soldiers. One night
he was stopped by a sentry. but,
giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead Of
doing so, however, he endeavored
to tempt the sentry into accepting
a cigar, saying that a smoke would
solace his long watch.

soldier.
'.But you have my permission, "

incorruptible sentry. "What would

Shreveport, La, Sept. 90, 1906.
The :Fair Grounds embrace
Ie;ghty acres, ideally located little
over u mile west of the city. The
property formerly belonged to tile
Country Club and was known as
"Caddo Downs" Thirty thousand
dollars was the amount given for
the grounds, which are being plac-
ed in pretty shape for the EXPOSE
ton. An addition is being added
TO the grand stand at cost of ST.
600, and when finished the grand
stand will have a capacity of {, GOO
people.
Tor two or three weeks force
of men have been at work ON the
State exhibition building, which is
to cost in the neighborhood of
$50, 900, about half OF that amount
being contributed by the parish
OF Cadelo, the City of Shreveport
and the Fair Association. The
city and parish wings are to be-
part of the exhibition buildings.
which, when finished, will cover a
site $50 by 100 feet.
Much work has been accomplish.
ed by the racing committee, which
is composed of J. z. Ford, j. NJ.
Sentell and Levi Cooper, all able
judges of good horses. The track
which covers mile has been plac-
ed III good shape at an expense Of
81, 800. Before tho Fair opens it
will probably be the fastest in the
South.
In the neighborhood of 300 hor-
SEES are expected to be on the track
during the Fair, all of those par
ticipating in the races at Houston
and Dallas being engaged. Barps
of the capacity of 125 horses are
already in place on the grounds,
at cost of $4,000, and additional
| stables TO accommodate It's horses
are to be built at cost of So, 900,
Arrangements have been COM
| pleted for the building of cattle
barns to accommodate 200 head at
a cost of $1,000, barns for swine
and goats at a sum of 81 600. Fiji
teen hundred dollars are to be
spent for chicken coops and exhi-
bition hall for poultry to accommo-
date 1,500 birds.
None of the .visitofs will lack

Date Of Their Origin Unknown, They
Are So Very Ancient.
If you desire to know about the
scarcity of really reliable data on
the history of spoons, take down
your handbooks and encyclopedias
and see if it doesn't take you long
while to learn anything concerning
their origin, nativity" etc. In
fact, the antiquarians do not pre-
tend to give us anything of value in
that line. 1t is admitted that they
are Every ancient" but just exactly
how old they are end by whom and
where they were first used are
points upon which we are left COM
pletely in the dark. Creighton
says, Spoons must have been a
very ancient invention, for a Saxon
spoon of perforated silver gilt, or
namented with gems, was found in a
grave at Sarre, Thanet-"
When forks were unknown spoons
played very important part at the
table. Spoons Of the thirteenth
century, and even later, had handles
terminating in knob, knot, acorn
or other odd and cumbersome de-
vices. About the period of the
restoration, of which SO much is
said in English history, a great
change was made in the forms of

Ciaar Dust.

Here is a thing which all cigar
smokers might observe with profit
to themselves. Before lighting a
cigar bite off the end and, placing
the part to be lighted between your
lips, blow through it. In this way
you get rid of q fine dust that accu-
mulates in cigar when it is dry,
which is apt to inflame your vocal
chords and injure your voice. 1t is
valuable hint to vocalists, and
there are quite number of profess
sional opera singers who never light
q cigar until they have blown out
the dust. To the failure to do this
may be attributed in great part the
throat diseases with which steady
smokers are afflicted.

T. Order, of University, who is
State Geologist, and whose re-
quests have been endorsed by Con-

st. Louis, and State Representa-
tive w. M. Estes. tits hoped that
this work will be continued in the
future as far as the appropriations

operation from the State survey
may permit, as topographic maps
of the region will be of the great
est assistance in developing the
concentrating materials, the brick
clays and copper resources of these
counties and others to the south
and west.
These maps will be of great val
lie to the people of the State in the
development of its natural resour-
ces, and when finally engraved and
published they will be for sale al
the mere cost OF paper and print
ing-5 cents copy.
Many of these surveys are made
in cooperation with State officers,
the expenses of the work being
shared alike by Federal and State
Governments. In all such cases
the technical part of the work is
directed by the bead of the Federal
survey, while the interest of the
particular areas surveyed are look
ed after by the State officials.

SCHOOLGIRLS UNIFORMS.
Details Of Dress That Are Insisted
Upon by English Masters.

RfSb ~ euSheu V'oosVtes
At many schools uniformity Of
dress is insisted upon. 1t is sur
prising how much the casual visitor
is impressed by trifling details of
dress, and if boys were given much
latitude in this respect the impress
sion would not always be good one.
Black coats and waistcoats with
black ties always look tidy and re-
spectacle, and are frequently the
rule. At Harrow boys over a GER
tain height are allowed to wear
"tails," which, however, do not look
we'll with straw hats. The Harrow
straws are familiar to most people,
having a crown of hardly an inch
in height; these are worn all the
year round, a custom which pre-
walls also at Winchester. At Elton
top hats are the usual headgear, and
one is sometimes treated to the
spectacle of boy clad in football
things surmountcd by a top hat.
At some schools one is struck by
the enormous variety of caps worn
by the different boys, every house
having its own colors for the differ
ent school games. When clothes
are changed for football or cricket
this is reasonable enough, but under

spoons. III some OF the unique pat
terms the spoon" part was divided
into two, three and even four parts,
and the handles always split or
twisted and turned up instead Of
down and back. Spoons Of that
period were all blunt instead of be-
ing pointed, as in the forms general
ly seen at present. They continued
short and blunt to the. time of
George l., when they were first
made pointed and had the handles
turned down instead of up.
About the year 1900 what were
known as "apostle spoons" were in
troduced. They were SO called be-
cause they had the figures of the
twelve apostles carved upon their
handles. They were generally given
by sponsors to children at their time
of baptism. The wealthy presented
the entire twelve, those who could
not afford to indulge in such extrav-
agance giving one or more, accord
ing as they felt able.
The most curious and remarkable
spoon in the world perhaps is a
Coronation SPOON" preserved
among the other royal relics in the
Tower Of London. The bowl is of
gold and the handle of silver. The
handle is split down the middle and
set with all kinds of precious stones.
The relic is valued at about f20,-
600, or upward of 100000.

ordinary circumstances the neatest
uniform is some dark suit with black
ties, the members Of the various
school teams being possibly allowed
to wear their colors as a mark of
distinction. At many schools the
boys are compelled to wear cap and
gown, the projects in some cases
having the distinction of tassels to
their mortarboards. At Bradfeld
and. Radley the boys wear gowns,
and at Winchester all the "colle-
gers" were compelled to do so, but a
nortarboard is very heavy to the
head, while a gown is rather a him
'drance to boy, though it may help
to keep his clothes clean.
It is customary for projects or
monitors to carry walking sticks as
a mark of distinction, and in the old
days at Winchester projects used to
wear cowlers or "cow shooters as an
especial mark of dignity. At Har-
row boys great ambition is to get
his @fez," which in appearance is
much like a smoking cap with long
tassel, but which confers great
distinction upon the wearer. Brown
boots are not generally allowed at
school. All these various little de-
tails of dress are most vigorously en-
forced by the boys themselves. as
well as by the masters, with quite
regimental exactness.--Baily's Mag

Blackpoor Times, an English news
paper, a few years ago:
young man, dark complexion, is

and 9 a. m, at 2 shillings each with

When he was in Egypt Mark
Twain hired two Arab guides to take
him to the pyramids. He was fa-
miliar enough with Arabic, he
thought, to understand and be un-
derstood with perfect ease. To his
CONSERVATION he found that he
could not comprehend a word that
either of the guides uttered. At
the pyramids he met a friend, to
whom he made known his dilemma.
1t was very mysterious, Twain
thought. ''Why, the explanation is
simple enough" said the friend.
"Please enlighten me, them" said
Twain. "Why, you should have
hired younger men. These old fell
lows have lost their teeth, and, of
course, they don't speak Arabic.
They speak gum-Arabic."

Some years ago q porter named
Fuller, employed at Billingsgate
market, London, made bet that he
would jump from London bridge
tied up in a sack, his only stipula-
ton being that he should be provid-

to open till he touched the water,
with which to rip open the sack.
He succeeded in accomplishing the

scHUBeRr's SAD LIFE.
~ Shall Have to Sneak from Door to
Door to Beg My Bread"

One of the bitterest disappoint-
ments in Schubert's life was
Goethe's Indifference. In 1878 be
sent selection Of his compositions
to the poets songs to Wcinar
What precious pearls Of music were
among the collcction-the songs OF
'AIignon" and ''The Harpist," those
from "Faust," the sad melodies
Longing" "Nightsong," "rhe
Wanderers Nightsong," 'sThe Earl
King" "Haideroslein," '"The Fish
erman," "The Bard" ''Thc King OF
Thule" and the music to- "Claudine
of Villa Bella" Goethe, who had
an ear only for the stiff compost
tons of Zumsteeg and Rcinhart,
then in fashion in Weimar, took nc
notice of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until
1S30-after Schubert's death-did
Goethe learn to appreciate the ex-
traordinary value of the compost
tions that lay neglected in his
drawer. It was then that Wilhel-
mine Schroeder Devrient sang ''The
Earl King" to him.
1t was Schubert's greatest delight
to make some little excursion with
his friends to the picturcsquely sit
uated villages in the Wilnerwald OF
on the Kahlenberg, and it was in
the arbors of the small inns, with d
glass of pure country wine before
him, that inspiration came most
easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittered by the malice
that pictured him as drunkard
who composed his songs when he
was full Of wine. 1t is an absolute
fact that he did not lose the faculty
of artistic work even under the sad
dest circumstances. He composed
the greater part Of the sMillcI
Songs" while he was lying i'll in hos
pital in 1923.
He was quite right when he
wrote to his friend Kuppelwieser in
March, 1924, "Thosc of my compo-
sitions which have been inspired by
pain seem to please people best.
And in a letter to Bauernfeld he
complained: "What will become Of
poor me? Like Goethe's harp
player, / shall have to sneak from
door to door and beg my bread"
The only ray of light that fell into
his dark life was when, through the
kindness of Count Johann Ester
Hays manager, Unger, the father
of the famous prima donna, Unger-
Sabaticr, he was appointed music
master in the counts household in
Zelccs, where he spent some happy
summers, the happiest of his life.
It was in Castle Zelecs that he is
supposed to have fallen in love with
Caroline, his patrons beautiful
daughter, who was his pupil and
who probably never learned the
secret of the musicians heart,
though it is strange that one SO
gifted and so beautiful should not
have married before she was well
into the thirtics. Bitter disappoint-
ment followed this short spell of q
life free of care.-London Tele-
