COURAGEOUS CowARDs.
Famous Men Whose Hearts Failed
 Them in Their First Battle.

It was fcrtua nate for Frederick the Great that he was not under the com n1anl of General Bingham. the police commissioner of New York, says the Boston Globe. If instead of prince he had been "one of the finest" he surely would have lost his badge and been kicked off the force, sharing the hard fate of the policeman who was degraded recently for fleeing from a man with a smoking revolver.
 Frederick never would have receiv- brated funk at Molwitz. It would have been al over with him when he fled from that first battle There was no door for him to get behind as there 1 was for the terror-stricken pattolman and so he spurred his horse till he was miles and miles from the frightful scene, where he had abandoned his army and sought safety in flight. Late at night he was found covering in an old mill and his humiliation was only deepened when he ,learned that his troops had stood their ground and that he had fled from field of vic- tory.
 Frederick. however, was king, and there was no one to strip him of his badge. If he had been a private sol dier he would have been shot in those times. As it was he lived to fight another day and to glorify the whole race of towards by his daring in many battle.
 | Few soldiers with courage enough to tell the truth, will deny that they longed to run from their first encount- CT with foe In arms. No one need be ashamed to confess that he is In the same class with Grant.
 1 That General, in his plain, unvar- nished tale, his Personal Memoirs, '' says very simply and frankly, My sensations as we approached what supposed might be a field of battle were anything but agreeable" That was at the outset of his Civil War career. He had, it is true, been in many engagement in Mexico; but now he was in command he confessed; q would have given anything then to have been back in Illinois"
 Neverthelee, he did not turn and run like Frederick. No, but he mod | estly says that he did not flee because q had not the moral courage to halt and consider what to do; I kept right on. In the end he learned val uable lesson. He found that the en- enly had fled before him, and then "it occurred to me that Harris (the Con- federate commander had been as much afraid of me as had been oi him"
 Lighthouse Harry Lee is another soldier who had to acquire his courage by experience, for in the early part oi the Revolution Washington was moved 1 to commend him by chilling irony fol 1 his prudence" His hot retort was q shall undertake to show you, sir, tha I possess no more of that cowardlJ virtue than you yourself' And nt schoolboy today looks upon Llghthorst Harry as model of prudence or eau. | ton.
 Fear in itself is not a shameful thing, but it is shameful to yield to it Napoleon was afraid of a mouse, bu he had the courage to face Europe 1 armed

FELONY IN TEXAS TO
SELL TRUST GOODS.
Most Drastic Antitrust Law in Any
State Goes Into Effect in
Lone Star State.

AUSTIN. Tex, July 12-The most drastic
antitrust act enacted in any State goes
into effect in Texas today. 1t provides In
substance that any person who represents
as agent or sells goods made by trust or
combine shall he deemed guilty of felony
and, upon trial and conviction, shall be
punished by confinement In the peniten-
tiary for from two years to ten years. Its
provisions apply to all merchants who sell
trust-made goods and all persons who may
be directly In the employ of such concerns
in this State.
1t is announced by Attorney General r.
V. Davidson and his assistant, j. P. Light
foot, that they intend to enforce the law to
the letter. The bill was drawn by Mr.
Lightfoot and his particular object was to
use 1t as an instrument to drive every trust
and unlawful combination out of Texas.
Merchants do not care to run the risk of
term of imprisonment for selling such
goods and many Of them have already
taken steps TO quit handling such articles
The law does not recognize ignorance as an
excuse. The merchant is required to make
investigation and to assure himself that
none OF his goods is made by a trust before
he handles them.

RAILROADS TO GET
BETTER STEEL RAILS.
Those Ordered by Lackawanna and
Atchison Not to Contain More Than
04 Per Cent. OF, Sulphur.

NEW YORK. July 12.-The specifi-
cation of an order for 10000 tons OF
steel rails given to the Bethlehem
Steel Company are interesting In view
of the controversy which has been go
ing for some time between the manu-
facturers of rails and the railroads
The latter have been making a protest
against the quality of the rails and
the way they have been breaking The
specifications in the contracts, which
were awarded by the Atchison and the
Lackawanna. are more stringent than
they have been in the past.
They require that 25 per cent. OF the
ingot be discarded from the top and
that the rails contain not more than
.04 per cent. of sulphur. The cutting
off of the top of the ngot is to elm
mate the steel which is likely to be
impaired by the raising of gas and
other impurities to the surface In the
past the mills have been cutting off
from s to 13 per cent and contracts
have been calling for open hearth rails
containing not more than .06 per cent.
of sulphur. Rails on these terms will,
of course. cost considerably more.
The Atchison order was for 10000
tons and the Lackawanna for 10000
