Boston, May 14.-The identity Of

caught asleep at his post has been dis

St Anne's church is one of the old

Il was chaplain OF a New Jersey
regiment. We had been digging In the
trenches all day.
THE boy in question had attended
sick people as well as Datrolling his
post at night. He had been obliged
to perform double duty
And then he was found asleep
when the sergeant made his rounds.
1t was necessary that the strict disci-
pine Of warfare should be main

finement and his friends feared that
ne would be shot for sleeping at his
post, inasmuch as the offense had oc-
CURED at most critical time.

Lincoln was able TO act without max

NATIONAL HIGHWAY
TOUR COMMENCED
Preliminary Work On Second

Under Way.

AUTOISTS WILL STRAIGHTEN

Preliminary work In connection with
the second Good-Roads tour over the
National Highway" which is to leave
Atlanta for New York On June next.
began last Saturday, May 7, when the
official pathfinder commenced its ardu-
Gus trip over the route of the tour.
The automobile selected for this i'm
portant work is a handsome new Col
umbia touring car of the 1910 model,
which was rendered through the cour-
tesy OF Mr.. Benjamin Briscoe, presi-
dent. and Mr.. Horace Deisser, vice
president, of the United States Motor
company. 1t is a commodious seven
passenger car of 40-45 HORSEPOWER.
equipped with every device to insure
good touring qualities and comfort to
its passengers.
Its 40-cylinder motor is fitted with
double electric ignition outfit, having
both the jump spark and the make-and-
break systems. For its two thousand
mile journey to Atlanta and return the
big Columbia Is equipped with Hartford
tires. wind shield, electric horn, a ca

strdighten out d few kinks in the or
iginal line of the National Highway"
thereby reducing the mileage to an even
1000 miles between the two cities, in
stead of about 1850 miles.
Chart New Stretches.
The task of the Columbia and its pas
sengers will be to chart these new
stretches, TO revise roaG directions over
the entire northward route for the 1910
route book, to inspect the condition of
the National Highways" the signs
which mark it, and to make prelimin-
airy surveys of hotel accommodations at
points where noon and night controls
are likely 20 be placed.
The inspection car started on its Jour
ney last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
It carried two representatives Of the
good-roads movement; L. NJ. Bradley,
director of advertising for the United
States Motor company, and Nathan Laz-
arnick. official photographer of the
tour, who accompanied most Of the
earlier scout cars, as well as the tour
of last autumn. At the wheel was one
of the most accomplished OF the Column
bias drivers.
The Columbia is well fitted for Its
task. In its earlier form IL was one OF
the pioneer makes and II has been q
favorite in the market for sixteen years
It's original designer was Percy II. Max
i'm, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, SO that its
engineering pedigree is OF the blue rib
bon order.
The Columbia Motor Car company
controls the Selden patent, and its out
put includes both gasoline and electric
vehicles. 1t Is one of the important
units in the mammoth selling organiza-
ton recently formed and known as the
United states Motor company.

MINNESOTA PRIMARIES TO-DAY.

To-day Minnesota will hold its prt-
maries. and the supporters OF Cannons
man Friday, the Honorable James "a
Tawney Representative of the First
Congressional District, are quaking in
their boots. Names horrible example
the house of Republican friends are
still raw and gaping. Ominous muir
murs rumble beneath the surface. and
all political signs point to Il hard win .
ter for the lessening band of standpat-
ters.
Since 1854 Minnesota has gone stead
lily Republican in national elections
and only twice in that time have the
Republicans lost the Governorship. In
1895 the Fusionists carried the State by
20.1S4 plurality, and again in 1906 the
beloved and lamented Governor John
son carried Minnesota for the Demo-
Gratis by 1868 plurality. though two
years before the Republican plurality
in the Presidential election had been
.464.
At present Minnesota has only one
Democrat in Congress-W. s. Ham
mond; but the tide of insurgency is
running SO strong in that State that
Republican fears and Democratic hopes
both expect great changes in the politi-
cal complexion of the delegation What
Maine has done is only the small dust
in the balance to what Minnesota can
do. The once invincible Republican
leaders know this. and what is more.
