The London WAY,

Foote, the humorist, was once but
tonholed by country gentleman
who complained bitterly Of the heavy
cost of burying relative who was
an attorney. "Why. do you bury at
torneys here?" asked Foote, grayely.
"Yes, to be sure How else?" "Oh,
we never do that in London NO"
exclaimed the amazed squire. How
do you manage, then!" "Why, when
an attorney happens to die, we lay
him out in a room by himself, throw
open the windows, lock the door,
and in the morning he is entirely
off" Indeed ana what becomes Of
him?" "Why, that we can not exact
ly tell, not being acquainted with
supernatural causes. All that we
know of the matter is that there is
strong smell of birthstone in the
room the next morning"

at dinner in Brownsville, Tenn;
"They are great wags, the old SOL

Fifty Men and One Elephant.

Interesting tests were recently
made to determine the respective pull.
ing power Of horses, men and ele-
plants. Two horses, weighing 1000
pounds each, together pulled 3,7OO
pounds. or $50 pounds more than their
combined weight. One elephant,
weighing 10000 pounds, pulled $3.50
pounds, or $3.50 pounds less than its
weight. Fifty men. aggregating 1900
pounds In weight, pulled $3.50 pounds,
or just as much as the single ele-
phant; but, like the horses, they
pulled more than their own weight.
One hundred men pulled $4,000
pounds.-London Globe.

South Texas and his latest move IN

NICE WOMEN CRAZY

the nice, respectable women. Or so
it seems to me. Just now one of tho
magazines is running a serial which
deals with an unconventional theme,
and which has for heroine an ar
lists model who poses in the nude.
Since that story was commenced the
demand for that particular publ;ca-

was previously. Probably eight out

MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY
PROBLEMS TACKLED
SPECIAL BOARD TAKES
UP THE DIFFICULT TASK
Famous Army Mule Plays Important
Part i'm Attempt TO Secure solution
of Difficulties.

To study the problems encounter
ed in mountain artillery work, a spe-
cial board has been created by the
secretary of war which Will give its
entire attention to this phase of ar
tillery studies in the United States
army
The board consisting of three ar
tillery officers, has been ordered 10
take station at Fort d. A. Russeli.
Wyoming, and will act as a sub-body
of the general field artillery board.
At Fort d. \. Russell, the army has
two companies of mountain artillery
and the geographical environment is
especially adapted TO this practice.
Considered tactically, the problems
of the mountain artillery service are
identical with those of field arul-
lery. The distinguishing feature is
the problem of transportation. Guns
and equipment must be provided
which can be taken into places that
are inaccessible to the usual light and
| heavy artillery batteries.
| The much abused army mule plays
| a leading, if not the principal role IN
mountain artillery operations. Gun,
| gun-carriage, ammunition, ana all
parts are packed upon mules, and the
field of a mountain batterys opera
tons is practically unlimited;
mule can reach places almost mac
cessible to man.
The gun used almost universally is
of 2.95 inch bore, and fires two sizes
of shells, Weighing 1875 and is
pounds respectively. The gun is short
and stubby, being only 81 inches IN
length. 1t is effective at 1000 yards,
which, considering the shortne-s of
the barrel, is a remarkable demon
stration of the advance in artillery
since the civil war
In level country, this gun may be
hauled by a mule, but in the hills
! it is always taken down" and the
various parts divided between four
mules. The gun barrel is loaded on
one mule, being placed on a specially
constructed saddle. Upon a second
the cradle of the gun is placed, while
third carries the trailer of the car
riage, and a fourth the wheels anu
paraphernalia for loading and cleaning
the gun. Other mules are loaded
down with boxes of ammunition, usu-
ally twenty rounds to a mule. The
| loads are so divided that each mule
carries weight of about $50 pounds
Soldiers assigned to mountain ar
tillery batteries become highly pro-
ficient in packing and unpacking
guns. The feat of unloading the parts
of the gun from four mules, asse.n.
bling them, loading the gun, and rfr.
ing it has been performed in res.
than twenty-five seconds. Packing up.
on mules is an art in itself and re
qures long study.
Mountain artillery has been put t
! practical use in the campaigns agains

! Moro country is succession o
mountains and swamps. Officer
\ who have seen the necessity To-
mountain artillery are enthusiastic
\ over the possibilities of the usefunes

ENTIRE COLLEGE CLASS
LEAVES SCHOOL IN BODY

One of the most unique strikes ever
launched by a body of college STU
dents took place in North Texas
few days ago and resulted in the mi
grafton of an entire class from a
school in that section of the state to
one in Houston. The senior class of
the state dental college charged that
they were notgiven proper facilities
for study and practice and after a
period of negotiation they knocked at
the door of dental college in Hous-
ton and following a meeting of the
faculties Of the two schools, the whole
senior class migrated in a body to
that city and these budding dentists
will be graduated there with the mem
bers of the regular spring class, ev-
cry senior having remained steadfast
to the student agreement to hold out
in their strike against the institution
which they entered as freshmen two
years before.
1t is the first instance on record
of an entire class leaving their alma
mater in a body successfully negotiat-
ing for entrance into another insti-
tuition and receiving sufficient credits
to enable them to receive diplomas
without the loss Of a school year. All
the strikers underwent rigid ex-
animation before being admitted 20
