The. Last Lieutenant.General.

When, in June, 1909, Lieutenant
General Arthur Macarthur, having
reached the age limit for active serv-
ice, retires from the Office which he
assumed yesterday in succession to
Lieutenant-General Henry G. Coroin,
retired for age, the grade Of henten'
ant-general will cease to exist until
revived by act OF Congress. The
rank was established as g reward tor
exceptional meritorious service in the
army and several of the nations most
DISTINGUISHED soldiers have held It.
While, perhaps, the new lientenaat-
general cannot be classed with some
of his predecessors in the exalted po-
sition, he has, nevertheless, earned
honorable place in the list OF success
full military commanders by the char
acter of his services, which began al
most at the outset of the Civil War
and have continued ever since. Gen.
e-al Macarthur was useful on the
plains, in Cuba and in the Philip
pines and he reached his present ez-
aited rank by regular stages.-Provl'

FLEA FOR BRIDES FIRST KISS.
One Man Who Has Been Six Times a
"Best Man. Defends Custom.

The Vicar of Tintwistle, England,
having declared that the foolish and
irreverent" custom of kissing the
bride after the ceremony should
be stopped, is thus answered by one
signing himself Six Times Best
Man"
"As I have on six occasions filled
the invidious position of best man, I
trust you will grant me space to de-
liver an emphatic protest against the
abolition of this good old English
custom, which is, apparently, wished
by some clergymen and many cur
ates.
lis there to be no reward for the
unfortunate best man who has
borne for hours on his shoulders all
the worries and responsibilities of
the important ceremony; the rallying
of the trembling bridegroom, the su-
pervision of all the social arrange
ments, and the departure Of the
happy pair from the church, to say
nothing of the lavish scattering of
largesse to every hanger-on within
and without, for which, by the way,
he is very seldom reimbursed? re-
neat, is there no reward for all these
manifold difficulties successfully &C
complished?
"ro the bride and bridegroom 1t is
the solemnly joyous moment of their
lives. All the playfulness Of eager
friends and even the. ecclesiastical
chivalry of the minister should not
be allowed to rob the parties OF a
kiss, the remembrance of which will
remain with the happy pair all their
lives. daily Mail.

instead Of having his helr'et on he
has deposited it at the foot of the
gallows, and is bal ehea aded.
Let us go and see at once, master
chaDlain."
The Lord de Ia Piroche hastened
to the square, which was full Of Curl
Gus spectators. The neck Of the
criminal had been replaced in the
slip moose, the body was at the end
Of the rope, and the armor on the
body. The people declared it mira
Gle. The body was taken down and
stripped, then hanged again, and the
crows went to work on it so husiiy
than in eight days it looked like a
rag, and at the end OF fortnight
looked like nothing at all. How hap
pened it the culprit was saved? 1t
was said that two peasants, return
ing at nightfall, and passing near the
gibbet, heard something like means
and a prayer. They used the ladder
the hangman had left, planted it,,
climbed up and questioned the suf-
ferer.
Are YOU alive?"
Yes"
"Do you repent of your crimeo"
Eyes"
Then the father and son took him
down. The rope instead of pressing
the culprit's neck had passed round
the base of the helmet, SO that he was
suspended, but not strangled, and
had recovered his breath when our
TWO friends came up. They took him
down and carried him home, where
he was confded to the care of the
peasants wife and young daughter.
But he WHO has once stolen will
steal again. There were only two
things to steal at the peasants.
These were his horse and his daugh-
ter; the latter fair-haired girl Of
sixteen. The robber determined to
steal both, for he coveted the horse
and had fallen in love with the girl.
He succeeded in saddling the horse,
but the girl awoke, gave the alarm,
and told her father that the villain
had attempted to abduct her.
Tthe father and brother, finding no
genuine repentance could be expected
from such a man, tied him across the
horse. took him to the square of La
Piroche, and hung him in the old
place, putting his helmet on the
ground to make sure he did not es-
cape again. Then they went quietly
home, satisfied that they had done
their duty. AS for the Lord de Ia
Piroche, now he had a sure protec-
ton in the recovered armor. He
went gaily to the war, and was thu
very first man killed.

EDITOR BRINGS SUIT
For Campaign Libel Against
the Atlanta Journal.
EST|LL WANTS $4,000
Action is BASED on Charge Of Buying
Negro Votes in the Recent Siren
uous Georgia GubernatoriaI
Campaign.

Gel. John H. Estill, editcr-in-chief
Of the Savannah Morning News, and
recent candidate for governor of Geor-
gia, has filed suit for s50,CC0 dam
ages against the Atlanta Journal for
alleged libel during the recent guber-
material campaign il Georgia.
The suit was fled Saturday after
noon with the clerk Of the superior
court Of Fulton county in Atlanta by
Attorney Tw1ggs and Oliver of sa-
yannah.
The alleged libel, it is charged,
grew out CT 4 card which the Journal
published on August 8, 1906, the card
bearing the signature OF &C. A. Kol'
le:, Of Meinhard, Chatham County,
Georgia.
Among other things said by Kolle1
against Colcne! Estill was the charge
that he had purchased negro votes In
Savannah, along with ward politicians
for the purpose of defeating farmers
for a ferce or no fence law.
Colonel Estill claims that the pub
lication Of the card greatly injured
him both as a citizen and a business
can, and that the card was libelous
He asked that the Atlanta Journal
Company be made to ray him S5O,CO(
for said alleged libel.
There was great deal Of card writ
ing, along with other writing during
the heated campaign in Georgia, and a
lot Of things were said Chat were not
complimentary. Most Of this, how
ever, could not be regarded as libel
Gus in the eyes CT the law. Colone.
Estill believes that the card aoou,
him in the Journal was OF different
type from the other campaign stuff
ana he takes the position that to pub
licly charge that citizen has bongh'
votes is ruiEcus to his character IL
the community in which he lives.
