Rare Old Book IL FounA.

Hastings, Mich.--Whi e rum mag
ing among some old schoolbooks Lee
Matthews Of this city found book
which he believes may be valuable. Ii
10 copy OF "Regulations for the Order
and the Discipline Of the Troops Of the
United States" to which 10 added an
appendix containing the United states
militia act, together with the law or
ganizing the militia of the state OF
New York, as now amended.
The author Of the book is Baron de
Steubsn, late major general and is
spsctor general Of the army Of the
United states. The book was published
for Daniel and Samuel Whiting OF
Albany, N. Y, in 1906, making the
book 106 Yeas old.
Baron de Steuben was the famous
German officer through whose untiring
efforts Washington's ragged. undisci.
plined and rebeliious army at Valley
Forge was trained and made into a
force which did not finch when 1t met
the British regulars. The rough old
German inaugurated new military
system in the American army, which
made its work very efficient. His mil.
itsry tactics, the result Of many years
service IN European warfare, was the
basis on which the future militia and
army were trained. The book Ii Of con-
venient size for the pocket, and leather
bound. 1t contains complete instruc-
tions for training an army and off,
GERS, giving details Of firing the old
fir clocks, for attacking and repeIline
attacks, for marching and for camping
There are also copper-plaSe prints Of
diagram for field tactics. There Is
alss colder of q photographic figures
showing the manual exercises used al
that time.
Across the title page Of the book IL
written in old fashioned handwriting
the name Of jacob Needsol, evidently
the name Of the original owner. Mr..
Matthews does not know how the
book came into his home. According
to the book, the manual exercises ola
century ago we're more complex than
they aie today. In the process Of load
ing and firing alone there were Is diff
fsrent motions.

RUSH FOR SEATS FOR THE
WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 4.-The rush to
secure seats for the worlds cham
pionship baseball series, to begin this
week, is the greatest in the history
of the game. Secretary Locke, who
has charge Of selling the tickets by
mail, said that thousands of remit
tances would have to be returned to
senders because Of the great demand.
Already the capacity of the park
reserved for mail orders has been ex-
hausted and the staff of fourteen
clerks is working overtime. Locke
has three bank clerks assisting him
and three addig machines are in con-
slant operation. The work of hand
ling all the postal cards and return
ing tickets keeps the entire staff
busy. --t'E"a s2@ Il. -,A.E8. n
y From the orders received from res
ervation it is calculated that thous-
ands of attendants from other Ma
tional and American league cities will
attend the championship series. Ex-

will bring in great crowds. Orders
were received from Chicago. Phfla-s

IS CARRIED TOO FAR
and. TROUBLE RESULTS
(Bv Associated Press,)

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 6.-Walter e.
Boughton, % years old, was arraigned
before Municipal Judge Fake yester-
day accused Of pulling his mother-in-
laws nose and knocking out a false
tooth. The court continued the case.
Boughton, who had been separated
from his wife for several years, was
summoned to the house of his mother
fn-law, Mrs. Rosetta E. Howe, rela-
tive to the separation. An argument
rose between them and, according to
the mother-in-law, Boughton pulled
her nose with one hand while he
struck her a blow in the mouth with
the other, knocking out false tooth
"And here is the TOOTH" she inter-
rupted, as Boughton sought to explain.
The court turned his head and has
tily declared the production of the
corpua deficit was unnecessary.
Boughton denied the charges, but
in the Introduction of other alleged
family troubles prompted the court to
continue the case.
