Il see the democratic muck rake has been

old republican wheehorse, who fought
Benson at the primaries, but is now doing
his best to elect him. THE Liars club
has been busy several weeks grinding out
everything imaginable about Benson and
the other republican candidates, but the
democratic organ has not tried to manu-
facture mud bullets until recently. Up to
this time the campaign has been
singularly clean one and free from SANDER
and personal abuse. Now that the other
side has started it, the republicans have
begun looking into Jim pahlman's record

him, Jim was secretary Of. the State

THE SWISS ARMY.
Always Ready For War Service at "A
Moments Notice

Always Ready For War Service at n
Moments Notice.
The total population of Switzerland
is rather less than half the population
Of London alone, yet the plucky little
republic can throw into the field at a
moments notice four completely equip
ped and trained army corps to Ger
many's and Frances twenty and Eng,
lands nominal eight. In proportion to
her population as compared with Swift
zerland, England should possess fifty.
Every ablebodied Swiss is, ipso facto,
q member of the army from eighteen
to forty-four, yet never does one hear
the least complaint made by a Swiss
of whatever social class at the trifing
sacrifice of time that his military
duties demand. To watch Swiss bat,
TALON on it's way to maneuvers in
camp or on it's return is to watch az
contented, serviceable and cheerful
lot of men as one could wish to meet.
The only serious tax upon the time
Of the soldiers is the first two months
of hard training as n recruit. After
ward sixteen days in camp every other
year is all that is required of him.
Between whites he shoots with his
comrades-every little village has it's
shooting range-because he loves II
and devOteS a certain amount of time
voluntarily to the physical exercises
he is taught at school to keep himself
fit On first joining he is carefully
examined as regards his suitability for
this or that branch of the service and is
drafted into that for which he is best
fitted, and he invariably takes as great
a pride in his regiment, battery or
squadron as could any voluntarily en-
listed man in our smartest corps at
home
The Swiss army comprises 100 bat
talions of infantry and twenty four
squadrons of cavalry, with the neces-
sary ordnance and departmental corps,
while the artillery includes forty
eight field batteries, ten batteries Of
position and two excellent mountain
batteries.-Pall Mall Gazette.

COLOR COMBINATIONS.
How They Were CIeverly Used In
Exposing a Fraud

HOW They Were CIeverlv Used In
Exposing Fraud.
In large factory in which were en-
ployed several hundred persons one of
the worknen In welding his hammer
carelessly allowed it to slip from his
nand. 1t few halfway across the room
and struck fellow workman I'm the
lert eye. The man afterward av- red
Fnat his eye was blinded by the blow,
although careful examination failed
TO reveal any injury, there being not a
scratch visible.
he brought suit in the courts for
compensation for the loss of half Of
his eyesight, and refused all offers Of
compromise. Under the law the owner
Of the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident Of
this kind.
The day Of the trial arrived. and in
open court an eminent oculist, retained
by the defense, examined the alleged
injured member and gave it as his
opinion that it was as good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest Of
his inability to see with his left eye
the oculist proved him a periurer and
satisfied the court and jury of the fall
sity Of his claim. He did it simply by
knowing that the colors green and red
combined make black
He prepared a black card, on which
few words were written in green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered to put
on pair of spectacles with two differ
ent glasses, the one for thS right eye
being red, and the enc for the left eye
consisting of ordinary glass Then the
card was handed to him, and he was
ordered to read the writing on 1t
through the glasses.
This he did without hesitation, and
the cheat was at once exposed. Owing
to the effect which the colored glass
must have had upon the green writing
the sound right eye fitted with the red
glass could not possibly distinguish
the writing on tho black surface of the
card, while the left eye. which he pre-
tended was sightless, was the one with
which the reading had to be done

learned the virtues of Doan's Ointment
by using it for eczema, and itching
hemorrhoids, from which I has been a
sufferer for many years, 1t was a con
slant torment, day and night, and I
could find no relief. 1t is impossible for
me to describe my suffering. I tried
all k nds of Ointments and salves, but
nothing had any appreciable effect un-
til I got DOan's Ointment and began
using it. 1t was more as an expert

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of ChivaIry.

Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of Chivalry.
OF all the orders of medieval chiv-
airy which have survived the shock of
successive revolutions on the continent
Of Europe since the great cataClysm Of
1889. that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illusuious patrician
lineage.
The badge of the order is the figure
of a sheep i'll embossed gold suspend
ed from a heavy chain of gold. The
full robes consist of a long mantle of
crimson velvet cut in the fashion of a
sacerdotal cope, richly embroidered at
the borders with emblematic devices
of stars, half moons and fleeces in
gold and lined with white satin, over
q doublet and hose of crimson damask.
The full robes also comprise CHAP
eron." or hood, with a long flowing
streamer of black satin. but this head
gear has in modern times been gen
orally dispensed with.
Originally the robes of the order,
which was founded in 1929 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool, and this circumstance has some,
what strengthened the theory that the
golden fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the fOcks reared on his vast
estates in Flanders. BE 1t as it may

TYROLEsE CUSTOMS.
PECULIAR Manner In Which Proposals
of Marriage Are Made.

FecuAAar Manner In Which Proposals
of Marriage Are Made.
There is an old custom prevailing
among the Tyrolese regarding propos-
ais OF marriage. The first time a young
pan pays a visit as avowed lover he
orlngs with him bottle of wine, of
which he pours out a glass and pre-
sents it TO the object OF his desires.
II she accepts it the whole affair is
settled. Very often the girl has not yet
made up her mind. and then she will
take refuge in excuses so as not TO
drink the wine and yet not refuse it
point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult, proving that she has been
merely trifing with the affections Of
her lover.
She will, for instance, maintain that
the wine looks sour or that Wine dis
agrees with her or that she is afraid of
getting tipsy or that the priest has for
hidden her to take any-in fact. she
makes use of any subteGfuge that pre-
Sents itself at that moment
The purport of these excuses is that
the wine Offering is premature.
This strange custom, dating very far
back-according to one account it was
known as early as the ninth century
IS called bringing the wine" and is
synonymous with the act of proposing.
Shy lovers, loath to make sure Of
their case beforehand, find it very
happy institution, Not a word need be
spoken and the girl is spared the pain
full NO of civilization.
If any of the wine is spilled or the
glass or bottle broken it is considered
most unhappy omen-in fact, there is
a peasants saying for an unhappy
marriage, They have spilled the wine
between them"
