A PICTURESQUE Hero.

Not many months ago the redoubt-
able insurgent chief, Boris Saraf0ff, a
Macedonian patriot, was killed in Bull
garia. Sarafoff has caught the public
eye not only by his daring insurrec-
tons, but also by his romantic and
picturesque personality.
A handsome young fellow Of not
more than 80 years, with his red sash,
his long cloth leggings and his small
,asseled cap. he suggested q dash of
the mountain brigand, as he harried
the Turks to massacre the Christians.
I'VE have seen that Europe is indif-
ferent to bloodshed in Macedonia" he
declared. I'VE will try the experiment
OF seeing II Europe will not stir when
European capital and European lives
are made to suffer"
This popular patriot gained a power
full hold on his followers, and they
gave him all he asked. He pressed his
people DO hard for contributions that
they sold their cattle at ten shillipgs .,
head to satisfy his demands.

Orioin of Courts-MartiaI.

The custom of holding courts mar
tial in our navy after every case OF
shipwreck has curious origin. In
1741 the Wager, one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked off the
coast of Chile, most of the crew being
saved.
The men and some of the junior
officers held that they were ne. longer
amenable to discipline, because their
pay ceased with the wreck, but the
captain, whose name was Davy Cheap,
differed, treated them as mutineers,
and shot one of the midshipmen. He
was then deposed and most of the
crew made off in the boats.
Later. when 1t was proposed to pro
coed against the so-called mutineers,
the law officers of the crown decided
that the men had been correct in their
view. This discovery led to the franz
ing of section 81 of the articles of war,
which provides that in case of ship
wreck. destruction or capture by the
enemy a ship has 10 be deemed TO re-

JEFF DAVIS CARE.
Apparel in Which He Tried to EscAfk
Discovered.

Jeff Davis feminine garb, the water
proof cloak and shawl, together with
the spurs which he wore when cap
tured near Irwinsville, Ga, following
the downfall of the rebellion, were dis
covered recently at the bottom Of an
old iron safe In the Office of the secre-
tary Of war. Fred w. Carpenter sec
rotary to Taft. unearthed them while
doing a little spring house cleaning.
They We're packed in sealed tin dis
patch box, where they had rested ap-
parently undisturbed for no one knows
how many years. That they are the
veTitable garments which Davis threw
about him that rainy morning % years
ago. when essaying dash through the
Gordon of the Fourth Michigan cavalry
that surrounded his camp, is prov1A
by documents in the box. Those docd
ments account for every detail or the
history of the waterproof cloak the
shawl and the spurs from the posses
sion of Davis into the keeping of the
set at rest the controversy that has
cropped up at intervals since the war.
One of the documents is u COPY OF a
letter written by the Former head OF
the confederacy, in which IS made spe
cific mention of the waterproof or
raglan" as he ca'ls it, and Of the
shawl. Fruitless inquiries have been
made at intervals by historians and
others as to what became OF the water
proof, the shawl and the spurs, 1t
was known that they were turned over
TO the war department when Davis was
brought from Georgia to Fort Monroe,
Charlevoix county herald., 1908-10-17

where he remained for two years 3
closely guarded prisoner. only TO be
released under the general amnesty
proclamation. The last heard of them
was in 1868. when they were discov-
cred in the vaults of the treasury de-
partment. The tin box that Mr.. Car
penter reached from the safe Me other
day was doubly sealed. One seal was
of plain brown paper on which was
written, over the signature Of Edwin
M. Stanton, President LincolRs secre-
tary of war-"Shawl, waterproof and
spurs worn by JEFF Davis on day Of his
capture, May 10, 1865" A smaller seal
of parchment additionally secured the
box. bearing this legend: Deliver only
to order of secretary Of war. or Gen.
f. d. Townsend, A. A. Gen. e. p. s."
"E. d. s." was Gen. Townsend who
was assistant adjutant general Of the
United States army in 1865.
The waterproof is of course Of gray
material, fashioned clumsily and un-
by our grandmothers to protect them
selves from rain. 1t has hood and
fastens straight down in front with big
horn buttons. The waterproof was the
personal property of Mrs. Davis. Any
one who can recall What a Paisley
shawl, the pride of the modish ladies
of a generation ago, looked Like will
have a picture of the Davis shawl. II
is of capacious dimensions, wholly
black, excepting for a threeinch Dor
der of dark red and yellow woven in
an East Indian design. Singularly
enough, the spurs are mismatched. The
parts that fit around the heel of the
boot are of brass, but OF different de-
sign. The rowel points of one are al
most pin sharp, while those of the
other rowel are dull and smaller in
size. 1t was the jingling of these spurs
and the CLEAN Of the brass from be-
meath the trailing hem of the water
proof that betrayed to the union cav
alrymen that man was masquerading
in female apparel and led TO Davis ap-
prehension.

THE STORY.

tII Asst off but not forever. Surely,
II thy love is toward thy hayward
people of Israel, o God"
The words were spoken in an &C.
stasy Of religious fervor. and the
prophet jeremiah arose as he spoke,
and going to the open door, he looked
out across the landscape towards the
east. But as he stood there he did
not seem TO be studying the scene
which stretched in all its beauty be-
fore him. His eyes seemed only to
be looking into space, as though striv-
ing to penetrate to regions beyond the
range of his vision.
"Ah," he broke out at last, my
brethren over there shall find comfort
in this message, and the mouths of
the false prophets will be stopped. The
captivity is hard, and those whom
NebuchadnezZar has carried to Baby
I lon yearn for Jerusalem, but there can
be no return until God opens the way.
God has revealed his purpose and has

1t was before the complete destruc-
ton of Jerusalem and after Nebuchad-
nezzar had visited the city and had
carried off many of the elders of the
people, the priests and the best Of the
people. jeremiah had been suffered
to remain behind in Jerusalem, and
he had striven to bring the people Of
the city into the spirit of submission
to the judgments which were falling
upon the nation.
Word had come to him not many
days before that certain Jews had
passed from Jerusalem to their breth-
rem In captivity saying that they
brought message from the Lord that
the captive Jews were soon 10 return
and help strengthen the hands Of their
brethren in preventing their beloved
city of Jerusalem from falling into
the hands of their enemies. And 10
back up their testimony and main
tain that they were true prophets sent
by God they quoted passages from the
book of the law which declared that
God had promised TO restore the cap
tivity of judah. This had created a
spirit of unrest among the captive
Jews, and, utterly helpless as seemed
the chance of successful 'sedition. the
purpose began to form in the minds
of the boldest of them TO make the
attempt.
And when word Of these things had
reached jeremiah he had been great
" troubled, knowing that such false
teaching could only end disastrously,
not only for the Jews in captivity. but
for those that still remained in Jeru.

What could he do, Jeremiah asked
himself, as he paced 10 and fro In
his solitary retreat outside the wall
of Jerusalem. TO meet this new diff.
