alto Peterson for COUNTY Auditor.

Mr.. Otto f. Peterson is men
toned as a candidate for county
auditor to succeed VIM. Cuddy,
and the Times believes that he
would be a popular candidate. and
one whose record in official life
would stand in his favor. Mr..
Peterson has been deputy auditor
for several years and has given
good satisfaction, and it is no
more than fair that be be given
the principaIship tor a term. 1t
is early yet in the campaign, but
the Times would be pleased to see
Mr.. Peterson come out as an active
candidate, and under the new pri-
mary law we believe he would
stand a fine show for the nomina-
ton.

IMPAlED BY AN ARROW.
Pinned Through tho Neck to Tree,
Yet He Survived.

1t was in the summer Of 1853 that
George Wainwright and Ben Spencer,
each in charge of train of freight
wagons. were headed for the Missouri
river to bring supplies back to Colora-
do points. The Indians were very
troublesome in those days. and these
two outfits always camped together
for protection. One night they had
arranged the camp. with the wagons
forming a circle, and everybody but
the guards was to be inside. VAIN
wright preferred to sleep in a clump
of cottonwoods about a quarter of a
mile off. and there he fixed himself
with his negro servant as a bodyguard.
Neither the camp nor Wainwright was
disturbed during the night, but early
the next morning while Wainwright
was sitting on the ground with his
back to tree drinking his tin of cof-
fee an arrow from an unseen foe en-
tered his neck at the right of the
jugular vein and was driven with such
force as to impale the victim to the
tree The negro. believing his master
was killed, ran to Spencer's camp and
gave the alarm.
Spencer and some Of his men rushed
over to Wainwright. Instead of being
dead Wainwright was not even seri-
ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow
off close to the point of entrance and
then gently drew Wainwright'S head
until he was released. The
victim suffered but little Inconvenience
from the wound. and by the time the
trip was completed it was entirely

BURIAL AT SEA.
A Barbarous Practice Against Which
the Public Protests.

q Barbarous Practice Against Whlch
the Public Protests.
The interesting discussion over the
practice of burial at sea, which has
followed the recent death Of Phila-
delphia clergyman on steamship
bound for Europe and the committal
of his body to the deep, has not yet
brought forth any definite results.
There are several reasons, chief among
them the force of tradition among sea-
faring folk and the lack Of any one
authority possessing the requisite
power to impose a remedy for the con-
ditions complained Of. The preju-
dice of seamen against carrying
dead body aboard ship any longer
than necessary is probably as old as
ships themselves, and tlme-honored
customs are hard to change.
Nevertheless, there is great force
in the contention that the conditions
governing the transatlantic liners,
which are, to certain extent, merely
floating hotels, capable Of sustaining
populations which often run into the
thousands, are no longer comparable
to those surrounding the long voyage
of the sailing vessels Of the past The
prejudice of passengers against the
throwing overheard of the bodies of
loved ones Is just as much entitled to
consideration at the hands Of the
steamship managers as is that cher
ished by sailors. who are no longer
an appreciable factor in steam navi-
cation.
To those for whom there are no re-
ligious associations connected with the
disposition of the bodies of the de-
parted it may make no difference
whether the mortal remains become
the ultimate prey of decomposition
in the ground or Of the nameless In
habitapts of the oceans bed, but the
matter is not one of Indifference to
the vast majority Of persons. To
many of these burial at sea is revolt
ing to every sense of humanity and
affection, involving deprivation both
of the sacred rites of religion and of
the opportunities for the exercise of
those tender offices of remembrance
which soothe the pangs of parting.
In many respects steamships on the
high seas are a law unto themselves.
The responsibility assumed by those
in command is paralleled by an au-
thority that is autocratic, but they are
not beyond the reach Of governmental
control. 1t should not be necessary
to bring this TO bear to meet Il COM
plant which Is so widespread and
arises from a repugnance so profound.
Modern science makes the precipitant
burial of the dead at sea no longer
necessary. and the steamship COM
panies themselves should be the first
to recognize the notice Of the de-
mand OF their patrons and put stop
to a practice which so many of them
regard as iladelphia

LIFE OF ADVENTURE.
Remarkable Career of the Late Ma jor
De Rudio, u. S. A.

Few men of modern times lived
lives more full of adventure than
Major Charles De Rudio, retired
army officer, who died at the age of
rs at Los Angeles, Cal. He was born
in Italy, and his turbulent career be-
gan when he was little more than a
boy, as he allied himself with Carl
baldi. The world was startled, jan
uary IA, 1855, by the report Of an at
tempt to assassinate Napoleon III
and the Empress Eugenie in the
streets of Paris. The bomb outrage
was unsuccessful in its main object,
but cost fourteen lives.
De Rudio was one Of the four al
legged conspirators arrested. He and
two others were sentenced to death
by the guillotine. Mrs. De Rudio was
then in England, where she interested
the Chartists in an attempt to gain
a pardon for her husband. A fund
was raised and she was sent to Paris
to plead with the emperor and en-
press Her tears made a deep i'm
preston on Eugene, who, after Ma
poleon III had refused to act, herself
wrote a pardon for De Rudio, and so
brought about violent quarrel with
her husband. But in the meantime
Du Rudio was upon the scaffold and
toner to allow him one pipeful Of to-
bacco before the knife fell, and he was
smoking this when the pardon came.
Napoleon had him arrested again,
however. and he was again tried and
sentenced to death, but again was
commuted to life Imprisonment in a
French penal colony. Luck favored
him again, however, and five years
later he was given his freedom. But
DR.. Bernard had been arrested in
London during the time De RudiD
was in prison, and charged with be-
ing connected with this famous Orslni
plot, which was to revenge Italy for
Napoleon's refusal to take up arms
against Austria. Lord Palmerston,
because Of this, introduced into par
lament his bill to restrict the right
of asylum in England, with the result
Of being forced to resign from the
premiership. So De Rudio helped
upset a prime minister.
He came to the United States soon
after and enlisted in the 10th New
York regiment, fighting through the
last year of the civil war and being
mustered out as a second lieutenant
Of the regulars. But his Appointment
was cancelled in 1867, when the war
departments attention was called to
the Orsini affair, but later it was re-
newed. In 1869 De Rudio was assign
ed to the 7th cavalry, which Custer
commanded and he was with Reno
when the latter failed to come up at
Little Big Run. De Rudio served
with the army until 1896, when he
was retired as a major. Since he had
made his home in California.-Spring-
field Republican.

Camp of instruction in rifle practice
held at Charleston, S. c., rifle range
for six days, commencing August 8,
1910:
This rifle practice was held for the
purpose of selecting from the best
scores made, the team which was to
represent South Carolina at the ma
tional matches to be held at Camp Per-
ry, Ohio. The contestants were select
ed from the officers and men making
the best scores at the three regimental
shoots previously held this year and
those who had good records at pre-
vious shoots. Attention is called to the
s199.45 for personal services. At the
regimental practices, in order to reduce
expenses and to teach the men, the
marking and scoring and the work in
the pits was all done by officers and
men taking part in the regimental
shoot, but, in a contest of the kind
that this state shoot represented, it
would have been out of order to allow
any contestant to do anything but
shoot. Otherwise, he would be put in
the position of passing on the work Of
the man he was trying to outshoot.
Consequently all this work was done
by disinterested civilians and it was
to them and the civilian laborers at
the camp that this $199.45 was paid.
The war department regulations pro-
vide for this.

First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets its name from the
mass cele bra ted IN the early days Of
the Christian Church in honor Of tue
birth of Christ, its first solemnization
being ordered by Pope Telesphorus.
'Shis was in or before the year l3S, for
in that year Pope Telesphorus died.
At first Christmas was what was
known as movable feast, just as
Easter is now, and owing TO misunder
standings was celebrated as late as
April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was Or
deTed and upon authority Of the Ia
.bles of the censors in the Roman arch
ives Dec. 25th was agreed upon as the
Saviors nativity. Tradition fixed the
hour Of birth at about midnight, and
this led TO a midnight mass in all
churches, a second at dawn and a
third at the later morning.

Etiquette of Gift Giving

There Is an etiquette governing the
giving and receiving Of presents, as
there is about most things, because
there is always the best way to do
everything, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. If we penetrate below the
surface Of the little courteous cOnven-
tions we shall find that consideration
for the feelings of others underlies all.
Do not try TO make your gift look as
though it cost more than you paid for
it. Aside from the paltry spirit Of
such giving, it is a delusion and a
snare, for next year your Offering
must seem to be as tiue as the one of
this season or you may appear TO
have been less anxious To please your
friend.
Take the time to write few words
OF loving or cordial greeting on the
cards that accompany your gifts.
Without that evidence Of individual
personal thought the Offering OF even
the finest present appears somewhat
graceless and perfunctory. A mes
sage on a card is better than note
because more informal, and one
should not seem to make much Of a
gift. Having your presents daintily
wrapped is not less matter Of cOur-
tesy. Let their outward appearance
commend them. Leave them or
send them To their destination the
day before Christmas unless you can
insure their reception early in the
day. A tardy gift appears like an
afterth0ught.
