Doos For Military Work.

The British army, according to a
London military mail interview, Is
the only European army which ignores
the use Of dogs. II the German army
were mobilized tomorrow they could
put 100000 men in the field within
a fortnight and 1000 ambulance serv~
Ing dogs. The dogs used by the Ger
man police would also be Immediate
ly modified with those in the army.
The Moors understand the use Of dogs
in warfare pretty well. They have
cross between a deerhound and mas
tiff. At night they would go down
near the Spanish lines and put on
their dogs to detect the enemys sem
tries When the dogs barked they were
able to locate the sentries and fire on
them. They also dressed up their dogs
In their own turbans and chelabas, In
which they would run up the noun
tains and draw the Spanish fire. Some
times they would send the dogs into
the camps, and the Spaniards would
rush out and fire upon the dogs and
the Moors would fire on the Spaniards.
After a battle-ground has been gone
over by the search parties at the end
Of the engagement the ambulance dogs
are sent out to see II any one has been
overlooked. They work better at night
than in the daytime. and have the ad-
ditional advantage that they avoid the
use of lanterns which invariably draw
the enemy's fire.

lady in perfect English.
Gladly, with tine princes permis-
sion," said King, also in English. The
prince looked glum, but interposed no
imperial objection.
1t must be confessed that Kings
composure was sorely disturbed. He
glanced up to find her studying him,
plainly perplexed.
Il just wandered in here" he began
guiltily. 1.-The prince captured me

Perhaps I'm dreaming. At any rate,
I'm dazed."

"Then you'll intercede for me?" he
urged, with a fervent glance In the
direction Of the wall.
She smiled joyously.
More than that" she said, Il shall
assist you to escape. Come!"
He followed her through the shrub
berry. his heart pounding violently.
SAY" whispered the prince few
moments later, dropping back as If to
impart a grave secret. "See that man
over there by the fountain, Mr.. King?"
"Bobby!" cried the lady sharply.
.'Goodby, Mr. King. Remember me to
your sister when you write. She

10 one Of interest at once. The man
designated was a slight, swarthy fellow
in the uniform Of a colonel. He did
not appear to be particularly happy at
the moment.
The American observed tine lady's
dainty ears. They had turned deli
cate pink.
May l ask who began Truxton
timidly.
"She will know IL you merely call
me Lorraine"
They parted company at once, the
prince and the lady in the rajah silk
going toward the castle, King toward
the gate, somewhat dazed and by no
means sure Of his senses.

THE LONDON CROWD.
Where the Unfortunates Of the World
Accumulate.

The London elections give one food
for much thought. Unionists should
think that they have not done so we'll
as they expected to do or as they
ought to have done; Radicals that
they have had a happy escape which
they did not deserve. II they will
think with any sort Of honesty over
certain of the London elections their
rejoicing will take very sober hue.
Excitement has had time to cool down
a little, but the truth about Hoxton
and Bermondsey, among others,
though Liberals know 1t well enough
will not come home until long after
all the elections are over. Then
many Radicals will wish they could
forget a good deal and may become
Tories too. But we are perfectly GER
tain that Unionists will have nothing
to be so much ashamed Of as to have
the Radicals in their victory at Hox-
ton. We are not going to soil our
pages by giving the details of things
said and done by the Radicals there.
1t will be enough If we mention that
a Socialist elector Of Hoxton said to
us on the day Of the polling that he
should in any case refrain from voting
for the Liberal candidate as a pro-
test against the disgusting tactics
adopted by the Radicals in that cleo
ton.
The thing that strikes one, and
rather oppresses, thinking over these
two or three sinister elections Git Is
a mild word) is that probably they
would not be possible anywhere in
the kingdom except in certain parts
of London. These spots are not typi-
cal of poorer London, which Is for
the most part highly respectable and
sadly dull; bus essentially they are
of London, If not peculiar to 1t.
Abroad, the United States at any rate,
can show the same social phenome-
non aggravated. Criminal Is not at
all the word to hit this peculiar popu-
lation. 1t has it's criminal elements
of course. Two "wanteds" figured
conspicuously in q crowd that was
trying to rush very uglily the Con-
servative candidates cart at an open
air meeting in Shoreditch. One was
run in, the other was rescued" from
the police by the Liberal crowd, But
this might happen in any part of any
large town, though somehow this kind
Of gentleman seems to have congre-
gated in way rather wonderful at
some of these elections. Left alone,

manded voice.
Truxton, conscious Of guilt, whirled
with as much CONSERVATION as If he
had been accosted by voice Of thun-
der. He beheld very small boy stand
ing at the top Of the knoll above him,
not thirty feet away. His face was
quite as dirty as any small boys
should be at that time Of day, and his
curly brown hair looked as if 1t had
not been combed since the day before.
His firm little legs, in half hose and
presumably white knickers. were spread
apart, and mis- hands were in his pock-
cts.
King recognized him at once and
looked about uneasily for the attend
ants who, he knew, should be near. 1t
Is safe to say that he came to his feet
and bowed deeply, even in humility.

ESCAPED coNvIcTs ADVENTURE
His Long Walk Across Afriea-How He
Reached Europe.

His Long Walk Across Afriea-tiow He
Reached Europe.
News was received in London on
Saturday Of the death Of Joseph Cres-
wick, who while fleeing from justice
accomplished one Of the most remark
able walking feats on record.
Creswick was undergoing sentence
for forgery in Rhodesia and while be-
ing conveyed from one prison to an
other by train Gas reported some
months ago) conceived the idea Of es-
Gaping from his guards. AS his legs
were heavily ironed the task was by
no means an easy one, but one night,
when the train in which he was being
conveyed was between Buluwayo and
Salisbury and his guards were asleep,
Creswick quietly opened the carriage
door and jumped out. When he reach
ed the ground he fell but was not bad
ly hurt. During the remainder Of the
night he shuffled along in the dark and
at daybreak could see the railroad in
the distance. He decided to walk. In
Ia straight line from 1t, which he did
for several days. still with his feet
shackled.
Day after day and night after night
he rubbed his irons with the sharpest
pieces of rock he could find until at
last he was able to throw his manacles
aside. After this Creswick went on
with great strides through the un-
known country in which he found him
self, his sole object being to get to
some white settlement.
Some weeks after his escape the
wanderer had a wonderful piece OF
luck. In a hut apparently belonging
to a settler he found a gun and some
ammunition, which in the circum-
stances he did not hesitate to take pos
session Of. With the gun he managed
to shoot several zebras and other an
imals which provided him with many
a welcome meal; but unfortunately his
gun got out Of order before his am
munition became exhausted and he
had to rely upon fruit for his susie
nance.
Just when Creswick was coming to
the conclusion that he had been walk
ing round and round without making
much progress he fell In with some
natives, who gave him certain direc-
tions as to how to find "a very long
water" which Creswick concluded
must mean the river Congo, and for
several more weeks he continued his
tramp.
Eight months after his escape from
the train between Salisbury and Bulu-
wayo, Creswick was found by party
of Belgians lying In weak and fever
ish condition about two hundred miles
from Leopoldville on the Congo. They
nursed him back to health and
strength. At Bomba, arrayed in all
the glory of a pair of cricket f1annels
and a football jersey provided by his
new friends, the fugitive found a ship
on which he worked his passage to
Antwerp. From there he got a ship

WHAT A BOY CAN DO.
Story Of easeom Usher and His Corn
Crop

Story Of Baseom Usher and His Corn
Crop.
Under the headline, '"The Boys
Prize Crop" the New York Evening
Mail prints the following concerning
Bascom Usher, the champion boy
corn grower, who several days ago
entered Wofford College Fitting
school:
There probably Is nothing more
prosaic to the superficial observer
than a one-acre corn field, unless II
is another just like 1t, or possibly a
little more so. 1t is merely a patch
of growing crop. where the COM
bined forces Of man and the favor
ing sunshine are coaxing nature more
or less effectively to smile with har-
vest. From the hour of planting
down through successive hoeings to
the final processes of cutting and
husking, the field Is nothing more to
the unthinking man than a common
place scene Of human activity. in
which the work Is hard and the re-
turns uncertain.
"But Bascom Usher's one-acre
corn field was distinctively different.
1t was the theatre not only Of an ex-
ploit which charms ones imagina-
ton, but of an agricultural triumph
that should make every American
boy proud.

Now, every year the government or
ganizes a national corn contest for
boys in which $4,000 in prizes is
awarded for various achievements, In
Guiding one for the largest yield from
a single acre. Bascom Usher entered

acre, planted 1t, cultivated 1t as he
believed 1t should be, and watched
and tended It as II 1t were some deli
cate flower bed. The work was hard

watching that corn. grow. In due
season 1t was cut and shucked. and
a little later 1t was husked. Then
the official committee came around.
looked over the results, and decided
that .Bascom Usher's acre had won
the first prize.
please consider what this victory
meant to Bascom Usher In prac-
tical way, and quite apart from the
exaltation Of pride. which It must
have brought to him. His one-acre
field produced l52 1-2 bushels Of
corn, which sold as prize seed at
81 a bushel, making sso5. and the
fodder for $50, or total Of $s26.00.
Allowing $136 for labor the one-acre
field returned a net profit Of 5000
a yield rich enough to make the av-
erage grown-up corn grower gasp.
"But the sense Of conquest was
worth more than the money. Bas-
com Usher has learned how He Is
a master of the soil. He has dis
covered a new charm In land and be-
come a joint partner with nature In
a combination capable Of transform
ing black loam and sunshine into
gold"
