the countersign to the guards, and,
to quiet their suspicious, start up into
the town. Out Of sight, take a turn to
the left and to the Richmond jail.
We will then meet with a negro, who

The big bell In Richmond strikes

never to look upon 1t again until we

with the glorious army OF the north.
Now we leave our diary to finish prep

1t POUNDS well, but the rebel flag still
floats over Belle Isle. Our escapade
was a grand fizzle n all lands ave
been punished in more way than one
in the last few days. Lieutenant Bos-
sieux suspected something going on
among us and had us secretly watched,
and long before we had made a move
toward fulfilling our projected plans
we were thrown into a guardhouse;
next morning taken u OF 1t and I'M
derwent a severe cross questioning.
The result has been that we were
bucked and gagged twice a day for
an hour each time and for four hours
each of us carried d big stick or wood

guard to prick US with his bayonet II
we walked too slow to suit him. Then

Form of Court Oath May be Changed

promise" or declare" for the word
swear" In the formula.
Since the Introduction OF Senator
Burton's bill the attention Of the judi
ciary committee has been called to the
fact that several OF the most progress
sive countries of Europe have mate
rally changed and modernized the
ancient and a%ntiquated forms OF the
oaths used in judicial proceedings. No
country as yet has gone quite so far
as Switzerland.
The cantons of Zurich and Aargau
took the radical step OF entirely abol-
ishing the oath several years ago, and
the result has been so satisfactory
that there is no desire to return to
the old system. When the great coun-
ell of the Canton of Vaud at its last
session considered the draft OF a new
civil code, the abolition of the oath in
any form from judicial proceedings
was strongly urged, and, after an in
teresting debate, a provision abolish
ing the oath was incorporated in the
new code, which went into effect on
January 1 Of this year.

Great Wood Waste a National Peril

4 GREAT ~undeveloped industry,
"A worth millions OF dollars annual

the south and the far northwest in
the immense wastes Of wood incident
to the manufacture Of lumber.
An amazing statement Of these
wastes and the consequent loss IN
wealth and conservation Of timber re-
sources is made as a result OF a two
year government investigation, not
yet concluded, by F. P. Veitch, chief
Of the leather and paper division OF
the bureau of chemistry, and M. q.
Donk, assistant chemist, whose pre-
liminary conclusions nave just been
made public.

which Charles j. Bonaparte, the for

They were letters from some other

signed by an initial only and the iden-

to her. The woman's replies were

enough to see what those replies had

to take her with me, insisted on go

left behind. She couldn't bear me out
of her sight, it seemed. I don't know
what there was in me to have in
spired such devotion, but 1 must
speak the truth, however it may
sound. She seemed wild, crazy about
me. I didn't understand it, frankly I
didn't know what such love was-then
but took her along. Shall not be
honest with you? In spite of the at
