IN SOCIETY

Yesterday was the gala day of the
week at Camp Woodruff Mantle, and
the ladies were out in their prettiest
frocks to do honor to Governors day.
AT the governors headquarters Cover
nor Woodruff and the members of his
staff had dainty lunches served in
their tents for the ladies of their party
who afterward occupied seats on the
pavilion as did the ladies from bri-
gade headquarters to view the dress
parade which took place at 2:90 o'clock
and which was the event of the day.
The gowns worn by the ladies were
particularly handsome, some of the
most noticeable being Mrs Woodruff $,

dainty white waist and white hat.

a black hat with wings There were
many stunning white linen suits worn

MEANING OF CALIBRE.
Either the Diameter of a Gun or It's
Length Divided by Diameter.

There is surely no word in the no.
menclature of guns, big and little,
which has caused and is causing so
much confusion in the lay mind as the
word calibre.
The confusion arises chiefly from
the use of the term III an adjectival
sense to indicate length, as when we
say 50 calibre six inch gun.
The word calibre as applied to ar
tillery signifies essentially and ut all
times the diameter of the bore of a
gun. a gun, then, Of six inch calibre
is a gun whose bore is just six in
ches.
For convenience and because the
power of a gun when once its bore
has been decided upon depends so
greatly upon its length, artillerists
are in the habit Of defining the length
Of the gun in the term of the calibre.
The six inch rapid fire gun, as
mounted on the ships of the navy, is a
trifle under twenty-five feet in length
and is therefore known as So
calibre gun.
In the case of small arms the cali
Der is expressed in hundredths of an
inch, as when we say % calibre or
80 calibre pistol, meaning that the
bore is 20 and .32 Of an inch in dia-
meter.-Scientifi American.

Of our 2roads would be much better
if every patron would look after the
road through his farm. I have some
patrons Of that kind. They open the

etc. This, too, is appreciated very
much by the carrier. We find that

Z Our patrons, who would, have ten
ants on their places for the new year,
and who will get mail in such pat

dropping ,us a list Of their names, so
that such tenants mail may be deliv-

box and put in some mail for you
to collect and then 60 back and stand
afar off and watch you come up and
collect and deliver and pass on7
Doesn't it remind you Of a person
trying to tame a wild varmint Of
some kind by placing some food on
the ground and then going away off,
so that the said varmint won't be
afraid to come up and get it. Of
course there are none of this kind
on No. 3, but we have heard of
them.
If our merchants, bankers and 9TH
er business men would pay more at
tention to securing the proper and
complete address, route and box
number, etc., Of those persons living
in the country with whom they have
dealings, it would save the carrier
and the postmaster great deal Of
trouble and save. themselves the an
noyance of having their letters re-
turned undelivered.
This writer can see some excuse for
mud hole in low, flat place be-

until his forehead is as full Of wrink-
les as a baked apple trying to find
an excuse for mud hole on the top
of hill. We give it up. No matter
how we reason. about it, we cannot
get rid Of the fact that water will
run down hill if it is given an outlet.
! We feel that we voice the senti-
ments Of the carriers Of this county
when we say that the death of our
veteran carrier, Brother Sam Barre,
has cast q pail Of sadness over DIS all
and our heartfult sympathy goes out
to his orrowing children. The younger
generation is told by his comrades
that he was a good soldier and they
believe 1t. They know he was good
citizen. In the discharge of his duty
as rural letter carrier he was always
kind and obliging. This writer will
long remember Gen. Barre, for he
carried many tender missive for us
when life seemed so full Of sunshine
and promise. Gen. Barre's patrons
will miss him, and his many friends
will mourn his departure.

a pretty, soft-haired girl to work his
typewriter. While her face was pref

his heart went out to her as a suffer-

for half an hour one day he asked
her in a tone full Of sympathy:
