Hampshire is 15 miles from Elgin.
Ackman, who is thirty years old and
the son Of wealthy farmer, visited
Elgin. AS he whirred along the road
short distance out on his way home
he was hailed by stranger.

For the first few minutes their con

Ackman was not suspicious of his com

weapon at him
Ackman, jumping to the conclusion
that he was harboring an ordinary rob-

offered 1t to the man.

home. He grew eloquent over the love

There are nearly half million horses and

10000 hand carts and 5000 wheelbarrows. In

streets by 81, 1868 vehicles. These statistics are
contained in a report drawn up by M. Emile
Massard at the request of the Paris municipal
council on the incumberment of the Paris
streets. One of M. Massard's calculations
shows that the street traffic Of Paris, If sta
tionary, would occupy 445 acres of the 2,079
acres of streets which Paris possesses. Last

few months ago Gen. Hamilton s. Haw-
kIns died He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening Of the Civil
war, but the authorities did not allow him to
graduate Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given commission. He staid In the reg
ular army until the time of his death and so
strong was his love of the military academy

kins custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school

institution as did any graduate in the army

who spent some time at the school, but who
did not graduate. One class organization in

green lot they were. The cadet was turned
out for squad drill with five other recruits not
one of whom knew enough about soldering to
keep his heels together. A tall, raw-boned
Irish sergeant with the euphon1ous name of
O'Baldwin was in command of the squad. He
began to explain the position Of soldier He
found that the recruit on the right of the line
already was in the position of soldier. The
truth was he couldn't help himself
O'Baldwin eyed him critically. Fall Quit"
he said.
The one-time cadet fell out what regi.
ment did We desart from?" said O'BaIdwin,
pleasantly.
This is my first enlistment" answered the
recruit, and in answering he told the truth,
for a cadet isn't enlisted.
What company are ye in?" asked O'BaId-
win, though he knew perfectly well, for his
own bunk was not three hunks removed from

and that's where he made the mistake of his
life.
That apparently simple answer proved con-
clusively to the sergeant's mind that he had
an ex-regular before him, for all the national
guardsmen would have answered Company
D. instead of sd company" The regular who
would speak of his command as Company D.
would be considered deserving Of the guard
house for a month, for to put the letter after
the company save when it is written Is to the
army man the height Of things unmilitary.
''You go to your quarters; we'll look into
this" said the sergeant.
The recruit went to his quarters and half
an hour later the first sergeant of the outfit
sent for him. The Top" opened the CONVEX
sation cheerfully with a query as to what reg
ment the recruit had left in the 1urch. Find
ing that he was bound to be considered
deserter, the unhappy one took the bull by
the horns thus: ST am serving my first enlist

In another hour the recruit was given a
rife and cartridge box and belt and was or
dered to turn out with the squad of recruits
who had advanced far enough In the school
of the soldier to receive lessons in the manual
of arms. Now as matter of fact the recruit
knew the manual Of arms so we'll he couldn't

the recruit went to his bunk again, knowing
that he was IN deep disgrace.
About half an hour later he heard two old

pressed by what Ackman said. His
hard expression softened a trifie and
to Ackman's great relief he diverted
the muzzle of the revolver to direc-
ton where the bullet would have gone
harmlessly into the roadside weeds In
stead of Ackman's body.
Spare me for the sake Of that sweet
woman who is waiting at home for me

Nashville. Indiana, Wednesday after
noon, August 17th, 1910. at 800 o'clock.
He had been i'll but eight days and his
