NAY NOT MEAN INVASION.
However, Uncle Sans Military Prep
aratiOns Excite Interest.

Washington, May 5.--Extraordinary
contracts for supplies for the use Of
the army are attracting attention in
Washington. The natural supposition
would be that these preparations are
silent prophecy Of great military
movement into Mexico in the near fu-
ture. But these guesses are not al
ways safe. In the present case the
big contracts for army supplies do
not necessarily prove that the United
States will invade the Mexican Re-
public. There are two good explana-
tions which do not contemplate the
certainty of war or even Of 1nterven-
ton. 1t cannot be denied that some
significance attaches to the extensive
preparations in question, however.
One explanation is that Uncle Sam
does not intend to be caught unpre-
pared in Mexico's case as he was in
Cuba's, in the event Of the necessity
Of taking military charge. The poor
equipment of the United States army
and the confusion resulting from the
attempt to do the work of years in
few weeks, made this country the
laughing stock Of the world and
ruined the Alger administration of
the war department. The other con-
servative explanation is that Gen.
Wood and the army staff are taking
advantage Of the conditions existing
in Mexico to get the Government to
do for the army, on the principle of
wise precautiOn, what in ordinary
| times seems impossible to secure by
any amount of argument or persua-
sion. The fact remains that what
ever the outcome of the turbulent
state Of affairs in Mexico the United
States army will emerge in the best
condition it has known for forty
five years.

Odd Word SurvivaIs.

Far away back in the days when the
English language was In its infancy

They didn't write blossom" however,

1t rhyme with snow and flow. When
they wished to sing Of the beautiful
mass Of apple or hawthorn flowers
they called 1t the "blowth.". This

Located His Station.

There was an absentminded bishop
In western Ontario. who was constant
ly finding himself in awkward situa-
tions. on account of his extreme alb
straction. On a certain occasion he
was travelling from London in a north
erly direction and found when the
conductor approached him that he had
forgotten where he was to go. The
conductor suggested that he telegraph
from the next station and find out his
destination. 1t was before the days Of
long distance telephones. and the
bishop telegraphed to his wife from
the first station. Where was l 60

CHARLES AND AUGUSTUS RICH.
Two Brothers, Between Whom Existed
Damon and Pythias Friendship.

Augustus, the younger, by two
years died few months ago, after
a very short illness, leaving eight lit
tie orphan children. His wife, nee
Miss Eunice BeatsOn, was Clarendon's
most beautiful girl at the time Of her
marriage, and was beautiful as a
wife and mother at the time Of her
death.
After his brothers death, Charles
Rich, who never married, took these
little orphan children to the old fam
lily home where he had always lived
and cared for them as his own.
But overpowered by grief, because
of the death of his brother, in a fit
Of melancholia, he took his own life.
Charles and Augustus were the de-
voted sons Of the late Chas. Rich,
who married Miss Brumby, a sister
of Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Brumby, Of the
Confederate army.
Six sisters are left to feel this loss.
one Of whom is Mrs Riley Bradham
Of this city. Also a brother. But
the little thrice orphaned children are
the ones over whom this blow falls
heaviest. May the Father of the
fatherless make them His special and

In his "Glimpses of the Confederate

1T seems to me as | look back that
one OF the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative of
the individual soldier 1t would have
been a better army in the field If it had
been welded together by a stricter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
OF the units In the column. 1t was not
easy to demOralize a body composed Of
men who thought and acted In a spirit
OF independence in battle.
"As an illustration Of the spirit of
the private soldier I recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized strong column to make
night attack on Grants lines at Pc
tersburg. When he was ready to move
and the order to advance was given a
