MIGHT Have Been Worse.

A clerk in Washington street hotel
says the Boston Traveller. tells this
story. MY first hotel job was in a
Texas city. One morning a guest who
aad been celebrating unwisely the
night before swayed up to the desk
and asked for some information. His
name was Colonel Hawkins, and he
was the soul Of poiiteness under all
circumstances. And this morning he
was looking worried. Frank. he whis-
pered. my memory Of last night, re-
gret TO say, sub. is pretty hazy. Cen

BOMB WITH PECULIAR TAIL
Strange Projsetlls Uses in New Ger
man Siege cun--Ald in Proper
Direction Of flight.

Berlin-Some interesting expert
ments have recently been carried out
by the German military authorities at
Doberitz with a new type Of siege
gun constructed by the Krupps. kc-
cording to present siege technique" 7"
the artillery Of an attacking army
has to cease bombarding the enemys
intrenchments as soon as the storm
ing infantry gets to close quarters,
otherwise the stormers are likely 70
be shot down by their own guns from
the rear. The new gun has been
devised to overcome this difficulty.
II has an extremely narrow. un-
rified bore. and is Of very light con-
struction, easily capable OF being car
ried by two men, and is intended TO
be carried in the front lines Of the
advancing infantry. Its most re-
markabIe feature Is its projectile,
which consists OF a round bomb Of
great diameter loaded with a very
powerful explosive mixture. The bomb
is OF far greater diameter than the
bore Of the gun which throws 1t. and
is provided with a long stick-like tail
which is loaded into the barrel Of
the gun, It's lower end. which is en-
larged to a wad or pistoi-like form,
resting on the gur-charge at the bot
tom Of the barrel The bomb itself
merely lies on the gun muzzle quite
outside the bore itself
On being fred. the trailing stick
like tall serves to keep the bomb In
its proper direction Of fight, and only
detaches itself and falls to earth
after a certain distance has been COW
cred. leaving the bomb to pursue its
course alone. The experiments have
shown that a reasonable precision can
be obtained with the new missile up
to distance Of 400 to 400 yards. and
bomb, which. owing to it's large con-
tent capacity, is capable Of great de
struction, serves not only to prevent
the defenders emerging from their
cover. but also to make great breaches
in their intrenchments or fortifca-
tions.

About Forgiveness.

In the phrase, Forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our Debtors" the
divine order would seem to be that
the unforgiving spirit incapacitates it.
self for the gift of forgiveness. There
is such a thing, and terrible thing
it is, too, as limiting God In his own
home Jesus found it impossible to
work miracles because of his neigh
bors' want Of faith. When Jesus says
that eff We forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your father for
give your trespasses," he does not
mean that God proposes an arbitrary
evening up of things. He means SIM
ply that the unforgiving spirit makes
1t impossible for that spirit to receive
forgiveness at Gods hand, however
much God might want to bestow for
giveness. To be forgiven we must for
give. If we find in ourselves the I'M
forgiving spirit we may be sure that
we are not yet at peace with God
ourselves.
