LIFE STORY ON AN EpIrApH.
Odd Monument Over Grave Of Veteran
Of Indian Fight.

The longest epitaph in Arlington
National cemetery at Washington is
that carved on the strangely shaped
monument OF Captain John Williams,
Of the marine corps, who died Of
wounds received in an indian fight in
Florida in 1912. The inscription fol-
lows:
Here lies the remains Of John VIII

OF U. S. Marines Was born in Stat
ford county, Virginia. the oath Of Au-
gust 1865, and died on the 29th Of Sep
tember, 1912, at Camp New Hope, in
East Florida. The body OF deceased
was removed to this spot, over which
his brother officers in the marine corps
have caused this pile to be erected
in testimony Of his worth and in their
mournful admiration Of his gallant
end.
"On the 11th of September, 1872,

command of 20 men to Davis creek

The result was that both met him at
least once a week away from their
home.
Now comes the strangest part Of all.
Young Aiken was really In love and
proposed to Minna to elope. Size

thing away.
And Nina, determined to win the
good looking fellow anyway, made up
her mind to do the clipping. instead
Of revenging herself upon Minna ~
telling their parents.
Minna and her bridegroom had
planned to go to Albany. get married
there and hurry on to New York for
their honeymoon there. Nina changed
this and sent word to their common
iiance to meet her on a train between
Troy and Albany.
Each OF the twins thought she had
captured the quarry. Both boarded
the same train for Albany. Neither
saw the other At Troy young Mr..
Aiken came on board to seek out his
bride-to-be. Each sister saw him and
waited with thrills OF expectancy and
hope-to say nothing OF a tiny little
bit Of triumph.
The would-be bridegroom found
Minna first There they sat in the
car holding hands and fretting that
the train wasn't fast enough to take
them to clergyman and make them
one
And then came Nina.
But young Aiken took matters in his
own hands while the two sisters we're
upbraiding each other. He excused
himself for moment when the train
slowed down, snatched his suitcase,
leaped from the platform and disap-
peared.

New York-Dr Edgar Calvin Sci
bert of Orange, N j., has a lively
sense Of humor. When he viewed the
wreck Of his fine new touring car the
other day he fairly doubled up with
mirth OF course it wasn't hopeless

body and framework Of the machine
left. There was a worse wreck stew
ing in ointments, bandages and lint
in wing of the physicians house.
Competent chauffeurs are scarcs in
the Oranges. DR.. Seibert found this
out when he sought to hire one. He
employed several alleged drivers who
seemed very eager in the interests of
local funeral directors. Discouraged
he decided to drive his own car, and
carry along a sort Of footman to
crank up, clean the car, and do the
messy work. In time he imagined that
he might train the man to run the ma
chine. So he engaged Wilkes, a seri-
GUS young Englishman.
The other night the physician went
out to deliver a lecture. He went in
side, leaving Wilkes in charge of the
car. Wilkes had long wait ahead

and wanted to look it over. He saw
a maze of little wheels and pipes that
puzzled him. He got a mouthful of
dripping gasoline and crawled out sud
denly to the street.
He studied the house fronts and
snow-sugared trees. This palled him.
Suddenly he realized that he had
some small spark Of genius in him.
He could crank the car and knew
how to put in the spark plug. He
cranked viciously, and the engine
buried with vigorous. hoarse music.
He had seen the doctor throw over
the throttle and set the speeds. He
didn't know the first from the third
speed, but he knew there was a speed
lever
"Elarst 1t, I'll take a blooming haz-
ard!" he soliloquized aloud. He
sprang aboard and simultaneously
jammed over the speed lever and
throttle. Then he grasped the wheel
and let her go. The spark was work.

Washington.-Two yeas ago the
Polish National Alliance of the United
States conceived the idea of present
ing to the American people a monu-
ment of Gen. Tadeusz Kosciuszko, to
be erected at Washington in Lafayette
square, where the monuments Of
Lafayette and Rochambeau are stand
Ing and where monument to Baron
Won Steuben will be raised in the near
future. The plan was to have the
memory Of all the most prominent Off

Of the United States thus honored by
monuments in the capital Of the
nation.

ated $4,000 for a monument to Gen.

Pulaski, who fought for the liberty Of
this country and who fell in the battle
Of Savannah in 1879, the Polish Ma
tionai alliance felt it to be the duty Of
Polish-Americans to reciprocate by
presenting a monument of the other
Polish patriot who lent his sword to
the cause of liberty of America.
The gift having been accepted by
congress and the president, and the
fund having been started by means Of
a special assessment from every mem
Der Of the alliance. a contest was an
nounced in the Polish papers in Eu-
rope and America for a model which
would satisfy the governments COM
mission in Washington. In the middle
Of December, 1905, models began to
arrive and finally there was opened in
the Corcoran gallery in Washington

an impressive exhibition of 20 models,
all works Of Polish artists The Wash
ington newspapers spoke Of this exhi-
bition as Of a very instructive one as
to the spirit Of foreign art toward
America.
The government committee. which
consisted Of Secretary Taft. Senator
Wetmore. Of Rhode Island. and Rep
.resentatiye McCleary, Of Minnesota,
invited a jury OF three prominent
American sculptors, Messrs. dorado
Taft, Of Chicago. and Daniel Chester
French and Henry NJ. Schrady, of New
York, to choose the three best models,
there being three premiums of $1,000
$500 and s40O. respectively. The first
premium was accorded by the commit
tee to the model sent by Antoni Pc.
piel, Of Lwow, Lemberg. Austrian
Poland.
President Roosevelt at a special in
vitation from the Polish alliance visit
ed the exhibition and expressed his
opinion that the model OF Mr.. Popiel
is the most acceptable.
The model represents Kosciuszko as
a hero of both hemispheres, as he Is
usually called by the Poles. At the
front of the pedestal is a hemisphere
showing the map of America with the
American eagle guarding its liberty.
In the rear the other hemisphere, bear
ing the outline of Europe and Asia, is
being strangled by a snake represent
ing despotism, which the Polish eagle
is trying to kill with his beak and
talons. To the right, Polish regular

Tadeusz Kosciuszko was born In
Poland in 1746 and received his mill
tary education In the Academy for
Cadets in War aw, and subsequently,
in Paris. In 171S he came to America
with a recommendation from BENJAMIN
Franklin and was given by Washing
ton the commission of colonel of en-.
gineers. He planned the fortified camp
of Gen. Gates in 1777, and was of great
service in the campaign, which ended
with the surrender of Bourgoyne at
Saratoga. He chose the place for a
fortress on the banks Of Hudson and
planned and supervised the construc
tion Of the works at West Point.
where a column erected by the cadets
still reminds the people of the serv-
ices of the Polish warrior. Later Kos
ciuszko served with Gen. Green in the
south. At the end Of the war he was
breveted general and elected a mem

Took lssue Wlth Jack London.

H. G. Wells has written such pun
gent and advanced criticisms Of pres
ent day conditions that at times he
has been set down as an extreme
socialist. J.1ging from an incident OF
recent occurrence, this would seem to
be a mistake. While on his visit to
this country not long ago he was a
guest of Boston club one evening
and found that he was to sign the
register Immediately beneath the sig
nature Of Jack London, who had
signed with a flourish, Yours for the
revolution" Whereupon Mr.. Wells
wrote in his fine. small handwriting.
There amt a-going to be no revolu-
tion," and carefully signed his name
to the sentiment.
