PEOPLE OF BRITTANY.
The Women Mostly BRII and the Mel
Mostly Druni>ards.

1.-The women, not the men, go bald in
Brittany" said barber. ''Fhey go
bald where it shows most-above the
ears. Women, quite bald above the
ears, are as common in Brittany as
baidheaded men are with Us.
Brittany is a granite strewn, billy,
well wooded country in northwestern
Franco, overlooking the sea. 1t is New
Hampshire. with the sea added. The
Breton peasants speak language
which resembles Welsh. They hate
strangers, and they wear Il peculiar
costume.
This costume is what causes the
baldheaded woman. One part of it, the
Golf, or headdress, a cap of white linen,
requires that the hair be drawn back
very taut from the temples. Drawn
back thus. as taut as it will so. it be-
gins to disappear 1T the age of twenty
five. and by the time she is thirty five
or forty the Breton peasant woman
looks rs if she were the victim of some
horrible disease for, from her temples
to well behind her ears, she is as bald
aS an egg.
The men. ON the contrary, are never
bald. For one reason, they work bare
headed. For another, they belong to
the low, animal type Of man that pre-
serves i head of thick. coarse hair to
TIE end. They are nasty lot, the men
of Brittany drunk every day or two,
putting all the work on their wives,
Shouting ribald insults in the Breton
tongue ut tourists."-St. Louis Globe

Man Against Horse.

a man (SIlrubb) has run ten miles ia
80 minutes 40 seconds: another man
(Hutchens) has run 800 yards in 80 sec
onds; another man (George) has run q
mile in minutes 1884 seconds. Of all
running records this last appears most
and it seems likely to
stand for a very long time. Men like
Shrubb, Bacon and "Deerfoot,' who
have covered very close on twelve
miles in the hour, could certainly hold
Their own with most carriage horses

were walking instead of running. the

The 1907 Nationn, Enc.mpment.

Editor National Tribune: At a regu-
lar meeting of Reynolds Post. So, G. A.
R.. Department of Massachusetts,, held
last evening. the subject Of holding the
next National Encampment and of at
tending the same were discussed by the
comrades. 1t was their unanimous opin-
ion that serious mistake was made In
selecting Saratoga as the place of hold
ing it. There are no attractions there
for an old soldier; a few hours sight
seeing will exhaust the place; a drink
or two of the spring water. a paper of
fried potato chips and a ride in power
boat on the lake, and you are done.
Comrades, If it is held there buy your
tickets thru to Boston. The Massachu-
sets comrades can show you Bunker
Hill, Lexington. Concord. the modern
warships at the Navy Yard. visit Ply
mouth Rock. Salem, Lawrence, Lowell.

The Army Cnnteen.

Editor National Tribune: Every year
some of our Generals recommend in
their annual reports that the canteens
be restored. They claim that without
them the soldiers so to worse places to
drink. 1t seems to me that the easiest
and most sensible way to solve this can
teen problem would be to enlist only
such men for the Army as do not drink
Intoxicating liquors. Why is it neces-
sary for a soldier to have his grog and
make himself beastly? The time was
when soldiers were given whisky with
gunpowder in it to make them brave
and ferocious. But recent wars have
demonstrated that the bravest and best
fighting soldier is the one with the
clearest head, and many OF the disas-
ters in battle have been caused by
drunken officers. I served four and a
half years in the civil war, and it was
my experience that men who used
liquors were the first to fall out in a
fatiguing march. Scarcely railroad, |,
telegraph, express, steamboat or high
grade manufacturing company will now
employ men who use Intoxicating
liquors. The American Army should be
composed of men of just as high Il
grade-not beasts. Enlist such men
only. and the canteen problem would be
solved, and the American Army would
be an honor to this highly enlightened
Nation.-C. M. Bennett, Coldwater,

The Little Bronze Button.

Mrs George A. Bartlett, OF HolIiston.
Mass. kindly sends us the following
well-known lines in answer to request
she saw in The National Tribune:
Sung to the tune of '"The Old Oaken
Bucket"
How dear to the heart of each gray
headed soldier
Are thots of the days when he still
wore the blue,
While memory recalls every trial and
danger
And scenes Of the past are brought
back to his view;
Tho long since discarding his arms and
equipments,
There's one thing a soldier most sure
ly will note;
The first thing he sees on the form of
Is the little bronze button he wears
on his coat.
(ChoruS.)
The little brown button. the sacred
brown button,
The Grand Army button he wears on
his coat.
How much did 1t cost" said man to
soldier,
THAT little brown button you wear
on your coat?"
Ten cents in good money" the soldier
made answer,
and four years of marching and
fighting to boot
The wealth of the world cannot pur-
chase this emblem,
Except that the buyer once wore the
brave blue;
1t shows to mankind the full marks of
hero,
A man who to honor and country
was true.
Then let us be proud of the little bronze
button,
And wear it with spirit both loyal
and bold,
Fraternally welcome each one who sup.
ports 1t,
With love in our hearts for the comj
rade of old a
Each day musters out whole battalions
of wearers.
And soon will be missed that old
token so dear,
But millions to come will remember
with honor,
The men who'd the right that bronze
button to wear.
