NEB'S SPIRIT RETURNS,
Milt. Smiths Nag Performs Feats Worthy
of an Acrobat.

NIilt. Smiths Nag Performs Feats Worthy
of an Acrobat.
Milt. Smiths horse, Nebuchadnez-
Ear, is beast of noble lineage and
usually of most docile disposition.
His docility has been thrust upon
him-that is, Neb has been reduced
to this condition by careful dieting
and regular exercise. There are
times, however, when Neb rebels, and
then his old-time spirit returns and
impels his heels to raise-the dash
board. Upon one of these occasions
TUESDAY night) Neb was standing
peaceably near the depot chewing a
bunch of excelsior when a box OF
peaches fell from the express wagon
and struck him on the rump. This
was more than Neb could stand. He
looked about him, sized up the sit
uation, ate stray peach or two
which had dropped from the basket
and stood on his head. In thus do
ing his heels came in contact with the
dashboard, which kited through the
air to the lumber yard across the
track. When Milt arrived a few
minutes later he espied Neb near the
Princeton hotel, tangled in the har-
ness and going through the gyrations
of a whirling dervish. Milt tried to
capture the beast, but Neb wouldn Il
have it that way. He pranced off
toward the Galley lumber yard, circled
around, paved the air, stood on his
head again, returned to the express
wagon and, backing into the shafts,
waited to be hitched up. Milt had by
this time recovered his dashboard,
which he nailed in position. He then
repaired his harness with ropes, gave
Neb a handful of excelsior and a
peach as an inducement to be good
and started on the uneven tenor of his
way to deliver his express packages.
Mr.. Smith knows Neb, otherwise he
would likely have sworn.

ENFORCING LAW IN LANCASTER
Commenting on the protest of the
"Anti-Liquor League of Lancaster
against the pardon of man convicted
of violating the prohibition law, the
Lancaster News says:
THE Anti-Liquor League Of Ian
caster, has filed with the governor a
protest against the granting of the Pc
tition for the pardon of Mr.. ]. D.
Walker, now serving sentence for sell
ing liquor in Lancaster. There Is
scarcely man here who does not feel
sorry for Mr.. Walker, but we do not
believe that the sentiment of the COM
munity favors the extension of execu-
tive clemency to him-at least not for
the present-for he has as yet served
but a small part of his sentence.
Mr.. Walker, as is well known, is a
white man of intelligence and educa-
ton, and if one of that class Is not to
be punished for the commission of So
heinous an offence as Illicit liquor sell
ing, wherein is the justice of punish
ing obscure and ignorant viOlatOrs of
the law, whether they be white or
black? The law is no respecter of
persons or. at least, it should not be,
but if there is any discrimination at all
il should be against the educated white
man. And it may be that some idea
of that kind was i'm the mind of the
Judge when he imposed sentence on
Mr.. Walker"

II our own experience is not con-
vincing enough. there Is no lack Of
corroboration. Among the French
troops engaged In the Crimea $4,000
died Of disease and but 10000 OF
wounds; in the French expedition to
Madagascar in 1895 only seven men
were killed by the enemy, but out Of
a total Of $4,000 engaged there fell
to maladies contracted in service no
fewer than $500, or almost thirty
three per cent.
Upon two occasions only does his
tory tell Of a campaign In which the
disease death rate was lower than
the wound death rate. OF these oc-
casions the first was the Franco
Prussian war of 1901, during
which the deaths from disease
amounted to 1876 per 1000, while the
death from wounds reached 1871 per
1000. This, however, Is explained by
the author Of the essay under notice
on the score Of the brevity Of the
campaign, the constant favorable
character Of the season Of the year.
None Of these benign characteristics
ton to the rule, the present army Of
Japan. Throughout long and ar
duous campaign, conducted under
climatic conditions Of quite excep-
tional rigor, the Japanese are reckon
ed to have lost by sickness $500 men
as against 57,150 killed in battle or
subsequently died Of injury. Much
remains to be done before we can
hope to vie with the excellence Of the
military hygiene Of the japanese, and
all students of the question may be
commended to DR.. Dewar's essay
which embodies a wide personal ex-
perience Of military service with a
practical moderation too rarely seen

DISEASE AND BULLETS IN WAR
Proportion of Deaths From These
Causes In Recent Campaigns.

Proportion of Deaths From These
Causes In Recent Campaigns.
"It is a commonplace Of history,
corrroborated and confirmed by the
experience Of almost every campaign,
alike in civilized and in uncivilized
countries, no less in modern than in
ancient times, that disease Is a more
potent element Of warfare than the
weapons Of the enemy" So writes
DR.. Thomas F. Dewar in an admir-
able essay.
1t is a surprising circumstance that,
in spite of the general recognition
accorded by history to the influence
of epidemic disease in swaying the
fortunes of a campaign, in spite of
the immense power for the mitiga-
ton Of such diseases which the ad-
vance Of bacteriology and epidemol-
ogy has put within our reach, so
little serious effort has been expended
against the pestilences particularly
typhoid fever and dysentery) which
have always stalked in the wake OF
armies in the field. How different
has been our success in preventing
in practice diseases which are pre-
eminently preventable in theory, is
shown by the recent record Of the
South African war. This campaign
extended over a period Of thirty
three months. Precise figures are
not yet available, but DR.. Dewar con-
siders that 1t may be said with a
close approximation to accuracy that
the death rate from disease was six
ty-nine per 1000 of the total number
Of troops engaged, while the death
rate from wounds was twelve per
1000. Excluding cases Of immedi-
ately fatal wounds 1t appears that
the cases admitted to hospital for
sickness outnumbered those admitted
for wounds by no less margin than
twenty to one.

A HABIT WITH HIM.-There was a
business man in a little western town
who never had a good word for any
body. Every one held him in more OF
less fear and many disliked him strong
ly. He made no effort to cultivate
friendships and at one time or another
almost every inhabitant of the village
had had a quarrel with him. One day
the old lion tried to board train
which did not stop. He was thrown
great distance and fell in heap on
the track in the rear Of the departing
train. The group Of villagers on the
depot platform thought that their
hereditary enemy had been killed be-
fore their eyes and were ready to drop
all their bitter preJudices at the grave
One ran up to where the fallen mon
arch lay, and. seeing signs Of return
ing life, anxtously asked: Are you
badly hurt, captain?"
With the first short breath the fallen
man was able to draw he gasped:
mo, you d old fool! That's the way
always get off a train."-Kansas

JEFFHRsoN's IDEA.-Joseph Jeffer-
son was a strong believer in early
marriages, and he never missed an
opportunity to impress his convic-
tions upon young men. In an ad-
dress at Yale once ne said:
"I abominate bachelors. The older
they grow the more conceited they
become. I was talking to one and
asked him why he did not marry. He
parried the question by telling me
about different young women he had
known, finding some fault with each
one. But it appeared that all OF
them had married.
"'You are in danger Of getting
left 1 said to him. You had better
hurry up before it is too late

LIONS RAID A TOWN.
Strange Story of an Evening Attack In
Central Africa.

Strange Story of an Evening Attack In
Central Africa.
a herd of hungry lions attacked
the town of Chorumo, British Cen
tral Africa, at the end of March, and
not only killed eleven natives but
put the rest of the population to
flight and demolished many Of their
huts
Between fifteen and twenty lions
made the raid at dusk. They first
attacked two natives on the outskirts
of the town. One of the natives es-
capped, and while the body of his COM
panion was being torn to pieces he
ran to the government building. The
watchman on duty refused to believe
his story, and while the frightened
native was protesting the lions sud
denly dashed into the main street
Three watchmen We're struck down
before they could reach their rifles,
and the native who had previously
escaped was likewise killed. A
fourth watchman, who fled to an
inner room, was pursued by two of
the brutes and torn to pieces.
A child was seized in front Of one
of the huts and when the frantic
mother attempted to rescue 1t she
was likewise attacked and devOured.
Three other natives were killed and
eaten. The lions killed a large num-
ber Of goats and other live stock, and
afterward roamed through the town
prowling around some of the huts In
which the inmates had barricaded
themselves.
A large number of natives who
managed to escape from the town
got into their canoes and padded to
the middle of the river Shire, where
they spent the night. They could
distinctly hear the shouts of the be-
sieged. Chorumo is situated near the
Elephant Marsh game reserve, where
fifty elephants lived last year.-Blan-

seventies of the last century a report
reached army headquarters that the
Indians had swarmed down on lit
tie village in Idaho and murdered
every inhabitant. A second lieuten-

mission, was dispatched to the scene
to ascertain the authenticity of the
rumor. A few hours after his arrival
in the village he sent this dispatch to
the commanding officer:
Everybody is quiet here"
Whereupon the commanding Off
Ger replied:
Your report is unintelligible. We
have 1t from responsible source that
Indians have massacred every inhab-
liant"
The lieutenant answered:
Report is correct. Everybody has
been massacred. Everybody is quiet.
