Wonderful Deeds Done by
 This Officer of fEe Armv

Drawing the long bow is confined to no people or class. The army Is no ex- ception, and the yarns of some of it's raconteurs lose nothing of their enter taining qualities because their authen- ticity might reasonably be doubted, says The Army and Navy Journal.
 Years ago there was one particular cavalry officer who was endowed with qualities rivaling those of Munchausen. Though he was not old, those who kept account of the time he had copsumed in his various experiences could not es- cape that he had been actively engaged in mans pursuit for over a century at least His yarns were unique. For instance: At one time he was in Sean dinavia with his father who, according to the story, was head forester for the king. Part of his duties was to select and send to the royal shipyards espe- cially fine ship timbers. One monarch of the forest had long challenged his admiration. But year after year he felt obliged regretfully to pass 1t by for want of transportation facilities. At last he could resist no longer. The hlnk DHuSL nave lulS pElQS OL NhG LOE- est. After carefully preparing bed to prevent its breaking in the fall the splendid tree was felled. As an agent of the monarch he requisitioned oxen to haul 1t. So heavy was the log that when the great number of oxen re- quired to move it were yoked up they strung out for miles. The long and tedious journey began. and. in crossing some of the valleys 1t frequently oc- cured that the leading teams would be on one hill top and the log on another, while miles of oxen were suspended In midair. like a great centipede with legs dangling. hundreds of feet above the ground beneath them.
 Again. he was in Cape Colony with his father, who this time was an agent of the British government and in charge of the great government ware houses Increasing needs made an ad- ditional warehouse necessary. All building materials had to be brought from England. It took a year to get them. At last the long delayed mate- rial arrived and. following the custom of the time and place. everything ln readiness. all the men in the vicinity were invited to the raising When, To and behold! through some blunder one of the principal tinAbers had been cut eighteen inches too short. Unless remedied 1t meant a delay of another year.

Motorman nxamInea.

With the examination of Motorman T. F. Madden, who is said to have had charge of the Powderly street car which struck Dallas Campbell last Sunday morning, the case will be closed so far as Coroner T. L. Brash- CT is concerned. Any number of witt nesses have been examined by the eor- oner and Justice W. S. Russell, who is assisting him, and they are of the opinion that there was no foul play The coroner holds to the opinion that Campbell was on a Powderly car and was thrown to the ground while at- tempting to get off at Elyton. Hold ing to this theory the coroner thinks that campbell was probably rendered unconscious and that he lay on the tracks until the second car came along and mangled him. While subpoenas have been issued for Madden it was said they had not reached him today. He will be questioned.

MANY NorABLEs EXPECTED.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan, 14-Made notable by the presence of prominent men from many sections of the South the banquet in honor of President elect Taft by the Chamber of Commerce, will be held here tomorrow night.
 In addition to the exchange of ideas for which the banquet will serve as a medium, the feast will be picturesque as an exponent of viands peculiarly ap- propriate to Southern hospitality. These dishes include 'possum and 'taters, and also, if the arrangement committee SO decides. 'simmOn beer. This drink is a simple concoction of mashed perslmmons and water, and It's was suggested by it's freuuent use in the rural communities where 'possum holds sway.
 Final details of the banquet will be arranged after a conference with Mir. Taft's party.
