"oFFlcERs LIKE GENERALS"
.sAll Privates will Look Like officers"
Says English Tailor Who Will
Design New Uniforms.

New York.--The Englishman who
is to suggest improvements in the uni
forms of the United States army ar
rived the other day from London on
the Kronprinz Wilhelm. He is George
B. Winter and he came with his son,
G. B. Winter, Jr.
81 do not care to discuss my mis-
sion here at the present time," said
Mr.. Winter, smilingly.
Cant you tell us what you will do
for our army?' some one insisted.
"Well," said Mr.. Winter, humorous.
v, II am going to make your privates
look like officers and your officers all
look like generals"
To some one on board 1t was report
ed that Mr.. Winter said that the new
uniforms would cost each officer from
$500 to 81 600 for his entire outfit. He
was also said to have told passenger
that the American soldier, as to the
quality of his clothing, was better
dressed than any other soldier In the
world.

Considerate.

Representative Kehoe of Kentucky
tells of a considerate Judge in his
state who passed sentence on man
convicted of murder. The judge said:
"Mr Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty of murder, and the law says
YOU are to be hanged. 1t is my wish
that you and all your friends on the
river TO know that 1t Is not | who
condemns you; it is the jury and the
law. Mr.. Dodson. AT what time, sir
would you like to be hanged?"
The prisoner made answer that 1t
was a matter of indifference TO him.
and that he was prepared to be swung
off at any time The Judge continued:
"Mr. Dodson, it is a serious matter
TO be hanged. 1t can't happen to a
man but once in life, unless the rope
should break before the neck is broke
and YOU had better take all the time
YOU can. But since it makes no diff
ference to you, you may hang four
weeks from to-day at IL noon, but
YOU may have good dinner first"

Gonsalvo pauses to let the Partisan

He is making the bluff OF his life

Besides. this furnishes the local
color.
Then Gonsalvo bursts forth again:

money and without the price,
Gonsalvo pauses to let this idea
get noised about little.

Gonsalvo trembles with the passion
