Pitfalls In British Army.

Pigtails survived in our army un-
til well into the nineteenth century,
the Welsh fusiliers being the last
to abandon them. Sir Algernon
West relates how he heard an argu
ment once as to whether the blues
did or did not wear pigtails at
Waterloo. One of the disputants,
who had seen them on their way to
Dover, was convinced that they did.
The other, who had been a mid
shipman on the transport which
conveyed them to Ostend, was
equally certain that their hair was
short. The giver of the dinner at
which the dispute arose referred the
matter on the following day to a
friend who had served in the blues
at Waterloo. Both your friends
were right" he said owe were re.
viewed at Windsor by the king or
our departure with our r;@tails or
and at Dover we had them cut of
before our embarkation. "-Londor

BABES IN THE WOODS.
Revenge and Punishment Of Maine
ScoundreI lin 1879.

In 1879 James Adams of York
became affronted with one Of his
neighbors, Henry Simpson, and de-
termined to avenge himself upon
two of Simpsons children, whose
ages were six and nine years. In
solitary place four or five miles
from the dwelling houses of the in
habitants he built of logs beside
ledge of perpendicular rocks pen
or pound several feet high, with
walls inclined inward from bottom
to top. After he had built this he
decoyed the children into the woods
under a pretense of searching for
birds nests and caused them to en-
ter within the pound, where he left
them confined to perish. The place
has since been called the Devils
Invention.
The children were soon missed,
and the alarmed inhabitants search
ed for them more than forty-eight
hours. The boys, when aware Of
their wretched situation, made va
rious attempts to get out, and at
length, by digging away with their
hands the surface of the earth un-
derneath one of the bottom logs
effected their escape. They wander
ed in the woods three days, being al
last attracted to the seashore by the
noise of the surf, where they were
found.
The depraved criminal was con
demned to have thirty stripes vel
laid on, to pay the father of tn
children e5, the treasurer f1O, be
sides fees and charges Of the prison
and remain close prisoner during
the courts pleasure or till furthe
order. The same month he recog
nized before two of the judges
CONDITIONED to send him, within
twenty-one days, out Of the juris
diction."

a New Method.

To those interested in the train
ing of the memory by the associa-
ton of ideas the following will ap-
peal. A young lady Of the south
was teaching the alphabet to little
pickaninny who seemed unable ever
to recognize the letter F.
One morning, however, after hav-
ing successfully named the first five
letters, he passed on to F, which
he called out at once without the
usual preliminaries.
"Well done, Caesar!" said his
teacher. "But how did you manage
it?"

sar explained. "she say tub me,

LIFE or A WATCH.
Depends Largely on the TimekeePer
and the Man Wearing 1t.


and the Man Wearing It.
The life Of a watch, jewelers. say,
depends largely on the person car
rying it and the care taken Of it.
AS to the care of a watch some
jewelers. say that it should be oiled |
once year, some once in two years
perhaps once in eighteen months
would be about the right thing.
All jewelers. say that watch |
should always be wound at the same
time daily. This is essential to
make it give the best and most uni
form results. If watch is permit
ted to run down it may on rewind-
ing keep different time and require
regulating. With the watch wound
regularly and kept running there is
set up and established in the main
spring a certain tension. If this
strain is wholly released by letting
the watch run down the spring may
on rewinding take on somewhat
different tension. This difference
may be extremely slight, but it may
be enough to affect the running OF
the watch.
While some watches are long liV-
ed, many are short lived, the long
Lived watches being of course those
of fine quality that are also well
cared for. But there is limit to
the life of any watch that is kept
constantly in use. The best of
watches, like the best of anything,
will wear out in time.
A matchmaker had lately brought
in to him for repair a watch 125
years old that had been running
practically continuously. 1t might
be difficult to say of just what dura-
ton its intervals of rest had been
but it was supposed to have been
run practically continuously, and
though it had stopped at least once
it was still in fairly good condition
and good for some future use. Blu
this was an extraordinary case. Mos
watches, however excellent the.
: may have been originally, woulC
with constant use wear out in ia
less time.
] Sometimes there are brought il
to. jewelers. fine old and once val
$ liable watches whose owners, desir
t ing now to buy new watch, wis
J, to offer the old watch at some pric
0 in exchange, but it is of no valu
|. except for the weight of the meta
: contained in its cases. Every jew
b eler has an accumulative collection
S of such old works, which are of n
$ value whatever, except that at lon
t intervals there may be found anon
e them a wheel or a part that ma
a serve in some other old time waite
s brought in for repair.
Is So watches do wear out, and as
: the life of a watch, jeweler saiC
n a good average watch with fair cal
;. ought to wear from thirty to fort
# years and fine watch fifty years
n it might last seventy-fve, but fit
years would probably be nearer til
figure.
1t may be thought that superic

but really the wonder is that tn

BOB'S
INSPIRATION
How a Light In a Window Caused
a Villains Downfall.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.

copyright, 1910, by American Press Assoc
ciation.l
His name was Robert Bryce He
was an attorney, and the law of pat
ents was the field wherein he reaped
an excellent harvest of fees. His
friends called him Lucky Bob"
A man would naturally prefer to
have his successes credited to his abil
ity rather than to his luck, yet 1t was
not for this reason that Bryce disliked
his nickname 1t offended him because
1t was a lie. The fates had done him
an i'll turn, and all their favors were
but mockeries.
Three years ago, when Bryce was
twenty-six, he met Martin L. Randall,
who paid him we'll for small profess
sional service. The money came just
in the nick of time, for Bryce was
struggling hard to get foothold in in
dependent practice. Randall was
rich man. He had manufacturing inter
ests of various kinds, involving the use
of patented machinery and the making
of patented articles. He took a fancy
to Bryce, intrusted him with important
affairs, kept him in funds, advised him
in the investment Of his surplus, in
vited him to his home.
Friendship sprang up between the
men despite the great difference in
their years They were constantly
seen together. 1t was current talk that
Bryce's fortune was made, and his col
lege nickname, Lucky Bob, was heard
Al % hi
On his first visit to Randalls home
Bryce dined with the family, only one
of whom had drop Of blood in COM
mon with Randall. This was his sis
ter, widow and childless. The others
were a Mrs. Loring and her daughter
Amy and a young man named Ballard
Dillon. Randall had been a cavalry
officer in the civil war and in those
days capable of romantic friendships.
Mrs. Loring was the widow of a COM
rade in arms. Dillon was the son OF
another The lady had been left with
some small means in trust with Ran
dali Dillon was a penniless orphan
who had fallen into the lap of luxury
Amy Loring was not yet eighteen
when Bryce first saw her. She
seemed to him a very pretty and well
bred girl and nothing more.
The first warning that Bryce re
ceived came from Randall at the
house one evening Amy and Dillon
happened to be standing together in g
good light and accidentally posed with
some artistic value.
"a handsome couple" said Randall
who was an admirer of personal beau
ty, like most other people who have
been blessed with a share of it.
1t was not long after this that Ran
dali conveyed to Bryce definitely the
intelligence that Amy and Dillon were
intended for each other. Increasing
misery was Bryce's portion from tina
hour, and the word lucky coupled
with his name was bitter mockery.
There may be many reasons why
woman should not marry a man though
she loves him. There is no reason
why she should marry him if sht

loves him not. All debts are Cancelled,
all gratitude vanishes, the wisdom of
wise counselors is folly, the dictates
Of worldly prudence are as rash as
madness, if they urge toward marriage
without love.
Such was Bryce's philosophy, and
you may imagine his feelings at the
spectacle presented in Randall's home.
Mrs. Loring and Randall were crea-
lures of interchangeable decision, They
had decided upon this marriage long
ago. The idea of 1t had grown into
their bones. AS for Amy, she had
known Dillon since her childhood and
had liked him and disliked him and
uuarreled with him and made 1t up.
The girl exerted strong attraction
uDon Dillon, and there we're moments
when he fancied himself deeply in
love with her. These were the mo-
ments of encouragement when he
seemed to see a way out Of the trou-
bles into which he had fallen of late
years through a course OF elaborate
duplicity and secret extravaganza.
For the most part he had too many
worries to think Of love. His pillow
was not haunted by images Of beauty
He saw Shylocks and shysters and the
,wolfish faces Of third rate Wall street
brokers, and even the helmeted po-
liceman and grim visaged jailer dg-
ured In the worst Of his visions.
DiIlon's situation and character were
unknown to Bryce, who charged his
constantly recurring doubt OF the
mans probity to the promptings or

DECLARES THAT THE TIME vs.
RIPE FOR CONTROLLING
COPPER MARKETS.

New York. Jan. S.-Daniel Guggen-
helm. president Of the American
Smelling & Refining company. said to-
day that the present moment was OPP
perfume To advocate federal regulation
of the copper markets. Following di-
rectly upon the presidents special
message recommending similar action
i'm the case of the railroads and TAX
en- in connection with recent rumors Of
Il huge combination Of all the copper
mining companies, his statement Is re-
ceived with interest. The American
Smelling & Refining company Is cap
italizcd at sl0a.0a6.o00 and owns
plants in Colorado. Montana, Nebraska.
Illinois. Utah. Mexico, Alaska and
elsewhere.
Mr. Guggenheim bases his recom-
mendations on the decentralization not
only i'm the business of mining cop
per- but among those interests which
use manufactured copper in their
processes incident upon fluctuations
from % cents a pound for copper to
IL cents a pound. Mining. he says. is
n hazardous enterprise requiring. un-
der modern conditions. very large out
lays of capital and. indeed, more than
any other industry Of a stable market
Stability. he believes. can best he OBJ
tained by federal regulation.
Il deprccate all unnecessary inter-
ference with business on the part of
the government" says Mr.. Guggen-
helm. Yet | appreciate the necessity
for IL and cannot hut admire the re-
suit which has been obtained by the
German commerce. Many articles of
German production, like our own pro-
drction of copper. are largely export
ed. and the German government has
taken very lively interest IN reg
ulating the production and sale of
such articles as to bring about the
fun return to the empire warranted
by the economic situation.
"The price of copper metals should
not be n speculation. but our aim
seems to he to sell our products to-
European consumers at panic prices.
The people of the United States are
throwing away millions Of dollars ev-
cry year and wasting the mineral re-
ources of this country by bad eco
nomic policy. Some means must be
devised whereby this unsatisfactory
condition may he done away with"

RAILROADS PLANNED
FOR SOUTHWEST TEXAS

San Antonio, Texas. Jan. SIT is
now generally believed here that Il.

dication that the systems mentioned
will be put In better touch with each
other. Surveyors are now working on
