OLD VETERANS
DRINK GINGER
Hearst News Service

Lon Angeles, Cal. November T.
The authorities of Sawtelle, where
the soldiers home is located, have ap-
pealed to the authorities to stop the
sale of Jamaica ginger on the ground
that it is killing to old veterans by
the score and that it is driving 9th
ers insane. The district attorney has
made an investigation and declares
that it is difficult, if not impossible,
to make case against the sellers of
the beverage.

Commercial Club 1Will Discuss the N
ter at Its Next Meeting May Taks
in South Mississippi.

Commercial Club. 1t is hoped that
the matter will not stop at mere
discussion, but that active steps viii
be at once taken to get this movement
well under way. A county fair cam
not be gotten up in a month or two,
and it is a good time to start now,
so that the people will be prepared
to have some fine exhibits.
1t has been suggested that the fair
could be made to take in practically
all of South Mississippi and should
be known as the South Mississippi
Exposition. A number of counties
would, no doubt, join with Forrest
and it could be made a great success.
By holding it little earlier than the
state fair the best exhibits could be
sent on to Jackson.

The ROMAN SENATE.
II Was Purely Executive, With No Au-
thority to Make Laws.


The senate of Rome, which was
an ancient institution, said to have
been established by Romulus him
self, was purely executive body,
having no authority whatever to
make laws. The senate of the Unit
ed States is almost purely legisla-
tive in its functions, having no pow
er to make appointments outside of
the body itself, but only to agree to
those made by the president. And
this is largely formality, as it is
regarded as a very discourteous
thing to refuse to confirm a presi-
dental appointment.
The Roman senate as instituted
by Romulus consisted of 100 mem
bers. An additional hundred were
added when the Sabines migrated
from Rome. The first Tarquin in
creased the number of senators to
800, at which number it continued
for long time. Julius Caesar in
creased the number of senators first
to 700 and afterward to 900 mem
bers. Augustus at first added an
other hundred, making an even
1000, but afterward reduced the
number to 600.
Senators were supposed to be men
of special merit. They were at first
selected by the monarch, but the
duty was afterward intrusted to the
consuls and latterly to the censors.
No man was eligible to the Office
who had not been previously knight
ed and who had held the inferior
offices of questor. tribune of the
people, edile, praetor and consul.
The senate met regularly on the
lst of January and also en- eytraor-
tinarv occasions when called togeth-
cr by the consuls, tribunes of the
emperor.
A Roman senator during the ear
" days OF the republic made vir-
tue of poverty and gloried in the
simple life. But when wealth, vice
and corruption became more com
mon it was decreed that no man
could be senator whose wealth
amounted to less than $4,000 ses-
terces. or about $35,000, because, it
was argued, he could not support
the dignity of the Office on less
amount. Therefore when sena-
tors fortune was reduced below this
sum he was dropped from the rolls.
Under such an arrangement in this
country Il man like the late Senator
Hoar. who lived in a boarding house,
would not be cligible.-Punxsutaw-
ney (Pa.) Spirit.

A Question of Names.

On one occasion bishop who
prided himself on never forgetting
either the name or face of any cler-
gyman in his diocese happened to
be travelling somewhere by rail when
at a certain station a clergyman got
into the same carriage in which the
bishop was.
The bishop recognized the mans
face, but could not remember his
name, and, not wishing to acknowl-
edge his forgetfulness, leaned for
ward and, with a charming smile,
said:
"Excuse me for forgetting, but
how do you spell your name?"
"J-o-n-e-s, my lord" was the re-
ply,-Illustrated Bits.

Thu Crooked Genesss.

Do you ever stop to think what a
crooked old river the Genesee is !?
1t is said that by way of the river it
is twenty eight miles from Geneseo
to Mount Morris against six miles
by the road. 1t runs along the west
side of the valley until it nearly
strikes Pifiard, then crosses the val
ley to Geneseo, runs on the east
side about mile and half, then
turns and runs back again nearly
to the village of Piifard. The two
points at Pitfard are only about half
mile apart, but to follow the
course of the river from one point
to the other person would travel
from five to six miles. 1t is crook
ed stream, all right enough.-Liv-

Nature makes some strange pro-
visions for fish that have to feel or
see their way at great depths. Deep
soundings in the Caribbean sea
bring up really uncanny specimens
of this kind. Among them is a
fish that has two convex lenses in
place of eyes. These lenses are very
bright, of a golden hue and CLEAN
in the sunlight Another fish, a
large one, has eyes that grow on
stems sticking out several inches
from the head. Another has an
eye on stem about half yard
long. The stem is flexible and may
be waved in any direction. Some of
the Caribbean sea fishes have eyes
that shine like lanterns.

x YOUTHFUL HERO.
How Major croehan Won Fante In the
War Of 1879.

|
Only few names escape oblivion
but Aug. 2, 1913, insured lasting
fame for Major George Croghan
Ninety-three years later, on Aug. 2,
1906, the remains of this youthful
hero were reinterred on the site OF
his great victory.
During the war of 1919 Croghan,
a handsome, spirited entuckian,
was sent by General Harrison to
take command of poor little stock
ade, Fort Stephenson, at Lower
Sandusky, now Fremont, o. The
place was important only because
it guarded the approach to Harri-
sons headquarters and stores up
the Sandusky river.
On the morning of Aug. Gen
eral Proctor, the British com
mander, with 500 regulars, veteran
troops who had served under We'll
lington on the peninsula, sailed up
the river in gunboats of Commodore
Barclays fleet and landed cannon
and howitzers, with which they be-
gan to lombard the fort. Mean
while Tecumseh, with 700 Indians,
swarmed through the woods and be-
gan the attack from the opposite
side. TO one of a less sanguine
temperament or of less courage than
the young commander the situation
must have seemed hopeless. But
Croghan not only showed confidence
himself, but inspired it in those un-
der him.
Croghan had 1G0 men and one
small cannon, which he moved
about from place to place to induce
the belief that he had several guns.
Late in the afternoon of the I'd the
enemy made united assault. So
valiantly and effectively was it re-
pulsed that the whole British and
Indian force made a precipitate re-
treat into Canada.
''It will not be the least of Gen
eral Proctor's notifications" wrote
Harrison, "to know that he has been
bafiled by youth who has just pass
ed his twenty-frst year. He is,
however, hero worthy of his gal
liant uncle, General George Rogers
Clark"
Croghan himself wrote just be-
fore the battle: ''Ihe enemy are not
far distant. | expect an attack. l
will defend this post to the last ex-
tremity. l have just sent away the
women and children with the sick
of the garrison, that l may be able
to act without incumbrance. Be
satisfied l shall, hope, do my duty.
The example set me by my Revolu-
tionary kindred is before me. Let
me die rather than prove unworthy
of their name"
The battle of Fort Stephenson
was the first really brilliant effort
of the war of 1912. General Sher-
man said it was "the necessary pre-
cursor to Perry's victory on the lake
and Harrison's triumphant victory
at the Thames, which assured to
our immediate ancestors the mas
terry of the great west, and from
that day to this the west has been
the bulwark of the nation"
For his exploit Croghan was bre-
vetted lieutenant colonel by the
president of the United States, and
congress awarded him gold medal. |
