Revolvers.

There is a confusion OF testimony as
to the use OF revolvers by one or more
OF the raiders. No evidence has been
obtained that service revolvers had been
surreptitiOusIy taken and used: but II
is we'll known that at Fort Niobrara
search was made and several revolvers
collected from members of the battalion.
They could have had tnem, and proba-
bly, several Of them were used. One
bullet from a pistol was dug out OF a
most near the Crixeu saloon. It's source
was not well established. Testimony
as to the sound Of pistol shots was,
under the circumstances, not conclusive.

and organizer of the raid, is an in

fourth enlistment, and had been previ-

One of the surprises, surprising the
most sanguine hopes of the republi-
cans, was Taft's carrying of the
greater city of New Yorh by a plur-
ality of 5.6I5. His plurality in New
York state will considerably exceed
Roosevelt's big plurality of 1904.

In the Duke of Argylrs "Mes-
sages From the Past" the author
presents this picture of Tennyson
declaiming his verses: "He would
take us into the very center Of a
large field at Freshwater, in the Isle
Of Wight, to be sure that he could
not be overheard by any one Turk
ing in the hedges, before he would
stand and declaim in deep, run

he was at work at the time or one
that had been specially asked for.

whole of his poem of 'Boadicea'

In the same volume appears an
anecdote of Prince Bismarck at the
Berlin conference: "At dinner the
prince drank only beer, saying that
he used to drink wine, and too much
of it, but that now he could not
stand anything stronger than beer.
In obedience to Princess Bismarck
he made a good dinner, but not
enough of it in her opinion, and
when she wanted him to take more
he turned to me and said the whole
object in life Of Pomeranian haus-
frau was to ruin her husbands stom-

An Elephants Teeth.

Whoever has looked inside an
elephants mouth has seen strange
sight. Elephants have no front
teeth, and they never eat flesh or
any food that requires tearing
apart. Eight teeth are all they
have, two above and below on each
side, huge yellow molars as wide as
a mans hand and about two inches
thick. Over these hay or fodder is
shifted by the queerest, ugliest
tongue in the whole animal king
dom, tongue that is literally hung
at both ends, having no power or
movement except in the middle,
where it shifts back and forth from
side to side, arching up against the
roof of the big mouth like an i'm
mense wrinkled pink serpent.

BoNAPARTE At JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Poisoning Of
Stricken Soldiers.

Professor Forgue of Montpelier
in a lecture on the respect that
practitioners should have for hui
man life told the story of Desge-
nettes, which, though we'll known,
is worth telling again, as it is told
by Desgcnettes himself.
When the French were about to
evacuate Ja!fa the question arose
what was to be done with the
plague stricken soldiers in the hos
pital. Desgenettes says: Shortly
before the raising of the siege-that
is to say, on the 21th-General
Bonapartc sent for me very early
in the morning to come to his tent,
where he was alone with his chief
of the staff. After short preamble
as to our sanitary condition he said
to me, If | were you l should end
at once the sufferings of those
stricken with plague and should end
the dangers which they threaten US
by giving them opium
81 answered simply, MY duty is
to preserve life Then the general
developed his idea with the greatest
GOODNESS, saving that he was advis-
ing for others what in like circum-
stances he would ask for himself.
"l1e pointed out to me that he
was. before any one else, charged
with the conservation Of the army,
and conseq Gently it was his duty to
prevent our abandoned sick from
falling alive under the scimiters of

what had happened. The story has
