Hereafter cavalry troopers are to be

bayonet Is also to be added to the
troopers equipment, so that in effect,

Due to the extended need for foreign

Each troop commander is here

that the light will be useful to troop

How Statesman Was Rendered Hatless

meeaber from California, who wears
the orneriest looking hat in Washing
ton, walked of with q dome-covering
that belonged to Ira Copley of Illinois.
While the Copley hat was in Kent's
possession an accident befell it, and
Copley declares that he wouldn't wear
it to q masquerade. He and Kent
were classmates at Yale, and he felt
free to tell him that he thought he
should be reimbursed for the ruined
hat. Kent and Copley each own sew
eral dray loads of money, but it was
the principle of the thing.
1T isn't the first time that you
have rendered me more or less hat
less" said Copley. II remember one
time some Is years ago that you threw
a SNOWFALL at me, when was passing
along on the opposite side of the
street, attending strictly to my own
affairs, as was my wont. And my
brand new derby hat looked like be-
fore-taking portrait. Now, once again
you compel me to go to the hat store
and squander my savings or else join
