WHAT A MODERN 4
BATTLE Is LIKE 4
tBy Capt Charles r, Paget. with the
Turkish forces at Kirk Killisse.)


Turkish forces at Kirk Killisse.)
Imagine battlefield fifty miles
long and ten miles wide. with whole
brigades fading into the landscape as
they come under fire and no single
pair of eyes able to see more than a
detail here and there.
From the far front, perhaps, comes
a prolonged and irritating rattle like
that of an urchin drawing his stick
across the area ratings it is the fir
ing line at work, either making way
or denying it. according as they are
on the attack or defence. Deep
thuds punctuate the chatter, dull
thuds like the falling of heavy boxes;
there is nothing brisk or ringing
about the discharge of artillery, but
on the contrary something heavily
ominous and sad, the most rnournful
of sounds. The rattle increases, it
swells almost to yell, the thuds re-
double, coalesce into awful thunders,
divide again into the lonely concus-
sions of the beat of muffled drum.
The battle is closing, it is getting
warm at the front.
But the correspondent cannot get
there. In the first place he is not al
lowed to. Secondly, even if he sue
ceeded he could see nothing which he
would survive to report for modern
battle has the face of Medusa-none
can look closely into it and live. And
the literary Perseus at least would
waste his time attacking her averted
head, unaided in these degenerate

: RARE PASSENGER PIGEON =
<>><>>>> ~~>~< . :

A rather unusual ornithological
specimen was received at Montreal
recently, from Odell Town, Que,
when wild pigeon or dove carefully
packed in a cardboard box was de-
posted in the city postoffice address
ed to the Witness.
The bird was taken to ]. B. Innes
secretary of the Society for Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals, and also
secretary of the Quebec Fish and
Game Club. He definitely identified
the bird as a wild pigeon or dove,
a species now almost extinct.
Officers connected with the sovie-
ty entered the office while Mr.. In
mes was inspecting the bird, and they
each at once recognized it as a wild
dove.
The sender of the little feathered
creature was John Hough, of Odell
Town, Que. He explained his reason
for mailing it was to have it identified
for he had heard queries had been
made regarding wild pigeons.
The wild, OF passenger pigeon, so
named from its habit of passing from
OIlG part OI llt COullllN " dllONliCAf
was oncea resident of southern IAN
ada and the northern United States.
One naturalist computed that there
were more than a billion of these
birds in continuous fligh which he
saw on one occasion.
Incessant slaughter and the clear
ing away of the forests destroyed the
pigeons, the disappearance of which
was fastened by series of very cold
winters between 1860 and 1870.
The male passenger pigeon is
about II inches long. including the
long narrow, gracefully pointed tail
The female is much smaller. The
wings are long and pointed and ca
pable of swift and powerful flight.
The upper parts of the bird gener-
ally are of a variable blue, the neck
| CLOSED with metallic golden vio-
let, the lower parts purplish OF
brownish, red fading behind into a
velvet tint nearly white beneath the
tail.
The wing quills are blackish with
a blueish border and the wing co.
verts are obsecurely spotted. The cen.
ter tail feathers are brown, the Others
pale blue on the outer and white or

Madame Lefarge, Convicted of MUIR
der in 1910, Now Held GuiItless.
Paris.-Thanks to the scientific
Prince Albert Of Monasco, and Ga
griel Bertrand OF the Pasteur insti-
tute, science has succeeded in solving
an alleged mystery of Paris which
occurred in 1910. Nine. Lefarge,
young, beautiful and socially distin-
guished, was accused of having pois-
oned her husband and was con-
demned to penal servitude for life.
Her marriage was an unhappy one
and the accusations said she gave her
husband arsenic.
Almost three quarters of a century
ago France fiercely discussed this
case, and the country was divided
into factions of La Fargeites and an
ti-Fargeites, as more recently into
Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards.
Now Gabriel Bertrand Sorbonne pro-
fessor and director of biological chem
istry at the Pasteur institute, has
demonstrated that arsenic may be
round in anything To make his con-
clusion doubly certain he experiment.

of the sea during the scientific cruise
of the Prince of Monaco. He found
arsenic in all, and being from the
depths of the ocean, they could not
have swallowed it,
Prince Albert furnished many ami
mails for experiment, and the conclu-
sion is that arsenic is in all organisms.
Hence Madame Lafarge was wrongly
condemned, the famous criminal law
yer Henri Robert, will soon bring her
case before the courts to get the de-
cision reversed concerning woman
who has been dead for 81 years
After the condemnation the famous
scientist Raspail, who arrived toe
late for the trial, wrote to the presl-
dent of the assizes:
"Give me whatever you like ever

I will wager will find arsenic in it.

Will the Color Scheme
Be a Winner?

Those women who are particular
about their color schemes being car
ried out have the satisfaction Of
knowing that the president Of the
United States and his friend Wicker
sham are particular about their color
schemes. too.
The particular color scheme which
has interested them OF late is William
Fl. Lewis, United States attorney
general, who it is said was admitted
to the American Bar Association be-
cause It was thought he was a white
man. Attorney General Wickersham
has tried to keep him from being
ousted from the organization, and fail
ing in this he has announced his in
ention of leaving the organization
tn his negro assistant.
Now President Taft has a perfect
right to appoint negro assistants to
the attorney general. and have them
mingle with official Washington So
ciety II the society can stand for 1t,
but this does not entitle them to mem
bership in a social or fraternal organ
ization, as the American Bar Associa-
ton may be called.
1t looks from this distance that is
merely bid for the negro support OF
the president in the convention. 1t Is
a color scheme which doesn't look
good.

Where Reform

Steel trust officials have not a very
8 BOD opinion of the reasoning powers
II the average man when they contend
that the steel business cannot be con-
Quoted unless the protective tariff is
maintained. when in the face of this
statement the figures prove that the
steel trusts net profit on ton of steel
is $13
Another official of the trust volun-
teered the information that as long as
the railroads buy a cheap grade of
rails. accidents and wrecks cannot be
eliminated. but the same official was
religiously silent about the steel trust
exporting steel rails of higher grade
for the same price that the inferior
rails cost In this country.
The steel business is no longer an
infant industry. 1t does not need any
protection. On the contrary. the peo-
pie need to be protected from the steel
trust and its unfair transactions.
No argument can be offered to set
forth reasons why any concern can

across the waters for a cheaper price
than the American people can buy IT.
This is the way the protecthe tarirr

An Old Mans
Sweet Blonde.

Age does not necessarily ripen wis
dom. Experience does not always
bring caution. On the contrary, there
is that familiar aphorism, NO fool
like an old fool" and, unfortunately, II
finds frequent application.
1T was to be supposed that a man
of 10. who had been twice married,
would know a good deal about women
at least, would know that one really
was a woman before becoming en-
gagged to marry her."
But there is old Philip Sachs Of
Bayonne, n. j., who has repeatedly
declared that he was ready to take a
third risk. and who had introduced to
him by one of his friends a pretty
young blonde with red cheeks and a
figure a trif1e robust. The ardor Of the
old mans wooing was wonder to the
few who were in the secret. He soon
proudly announced that the sweet
blonde had consented to marry him.
and to celebrate his happiness he gave
an engagement supper" at Bayonne
hotel.
Solomon the Wise had no more af-
lection to divide among his wives than
this old man displayed to his sweet
heart at the supper. But when the
last bottle of wine was empty the TO
bust blonde pulled Off her wig, rubbed
the rouge from her face and said in a
voice decidedly masculine, Il guess it's
time to call this engagement off"
A stern judge has put fine of s.
upon the friend who introduced the OLD
man to the sweet blonde" And the
old man still claimed that he has been
shamed $4,000 worth.
He is old enough to be wise, and ex-
perienced enough to be cautious, but
he is like thousands of other men who
blindly follow their passions to a mar
rage contract, to find out later that
the one he thought to be so beautiful
and so beloved is something entirely
different
The foolish old man is lucky to have
escaped so easily. II is fortunate fm
him that it was all a joke. Many
men and many women make as foolish
mistakes in the character of the ones
they take as mates, and only long
years Of suffering, or the divorce court
can bring them release.
It's poor policy to marry stranger.
