Like the famous John Gilpin. the
heir to the throne has a frugal mind
and, it has been maliciously whisper
ed, sees great chances to exercise this
virtue at the expense of the poor re-
cruits.
Scores of these who come from the
country are drafted off to the arch
ducal estates and do their military
service there, much of it consisting In
gamekeepers' duties in the archduke's
pheasant preserves. The recruits are
also used when improvements in the
parks and grounds are being made.
According to one story, squads of them
are marched about and made to do
duty as dummy trees while the heir
to the throne stands at a distance and
experiments as to where a clump of
trees would look best.
The soldiers, being merely human.
object all the more because there are
no extra ratiOns for this kind of duty.
They have generally TO shift for them
selves, and their miserable pay only
prOcures them food far poorer than
that which they would get in barracks, |
although that is not very sumptuOus. |

known. Without any reason to his
friends or family he took a sudden
notion to depart for greener fields
and the only information that his
wife had Of his going was when she
received a note saying that he had
gone for parts unknown and that she
would not hear from him for year
or more. He took with him his
Oldest son, aged ten years. From
Mayheld he went to Paducah and
nothing has been heard Of him since
he reached that city. The sud len

is possible that the divisions as CIV
en- above may not be satisfactory in
every case, but changes may be
made whenever they are necessary.
On the first day of August, an
election of one trustee will be held
in each white school sub-district in
the county. This will be the first
election under the new law, and as
the County Superintendent no longer
has the right to appoint trustees in

necessary that each sub-district elect
a trustee, in order to be represented
on the Division Board.
