Critical Moment.

At the beginning of the Civil war
men who knew little about military
tactics were sometimes temporarily in
command of small bodies of the troops
which fiocked into Washington, and 1t
is said that Senator Henry Wilson Of
Massachusetts. afterward vice-presi-
dent Of the United States, was for
time assigned to the captaincy of a
company Of recruits from his native
state. He assisted In drilling them to
the best Of his ability. but one after
noon, as he marched at their head up
Pennsylvania avenue, he met his Wa
terloo. He had been getting along
very well and was beginning to feel
quite proud Of the proficiency Of his
men, when he suddenly realized that
the coping and fence extending south
from the treasury building was right
in his forward patch. He could not
think Of the order which would swing
his command into Fifteenth street.
and thereby avoid the obstacle. Near
er and nearer the company approach
ed; the men were almost upon his
heels, when in desperation he shout
ed: Come round like a gate!" and
the situation was saved.

WORKING HOURS OF WOMEN
Several States Have Passed Laws
Limiting Them to Sixty Hours
or Less a Week.

During their last session the legisla-
lures OF several states passed new
laws regulating the number of work
Ing hours for women. South Carolina
passed law limiting them to 60 per
week in mercantile houses and the
textile mills. Of which there are so
many in the state.
In Ohio and Massachusetts, a 81
hour bill has been enacted. The Ohio
bill applies to everything excepting
hotels and mercantile establishments.
Utah and Missouri have also passed
nine-hour laws. says Health Culture.
The ten-hour law which the legisla-
ture of Illinois enacted in 1909 is en-
larged so as to include practically
every kind of establishment where
women are employed.
Wisconsin has established a 55-
hour week, excepting night work,
which is less. Minnesota has strength
ened its ten-hour law by extending the
penalty for violation so as to include
manufacturing and mechanical estab-
lishments. The states of Washington
and California have passed eight-hour
day laws for women. The law OF
Washington applies to the usual mer-
camille and mechanical establish
ments. restaurants, hotels and laun-
dries, but the California act applies
also to telegraph. telephone, express
and transportation Offices.

BUTCHERS SON WAS A KING
But oreIius Antony I. Did Not Rule
Long Over Araueania in
South America.

The death of Princess" Marguerite,
daughter Of king Orelius Antony L."
in a poorhouse on the Danish island
Of Reyagade brings to light a romance
known to few, and half forgotten even
by these.
king Orelius Antony l." was the
son of French butcher who lived at
Perigord. the city of pies. His name
was Antoine Tounens. He studied law,
but having taste for adventure. set
out for South America. That was in
1861.
His wanderings took him to Arau-
cania, where he persuaded the inhab-
itants to set up an Independent mon
archy and make him king. This did
not suite Chile, which sent force of
troops to Araucania. King Orelius An
tony I. was put in prison and remain
ed there until the French government
obtained his release. His efforts to be
reinstated on the vacant Araucanian
throne were futile and the former
king returned to France and obtained
employment as a waiter in Asnieres.
He died there in 1878.
While her father re1gned IN farom
Araucania the Princess Marguerite, an
only child. was supported by revenues
from the Araucanian treasury. 1t was
a generous supply of money that was
sent to her and she had many suitors.
Eventually she married a Danish Of
ficer. who had saved her life in ship
wreck.
Just before King Orelius Antony I.
was deposed the consort Of the prin-
cess committed suicide. The princess
went to live in Denmark, and. her sup
plies having ceased, she was obliged
to seek refuge in the almshouse,
1 where she died.-New York Sun.

Louisville Barber Provides Funds to

Basing his belief on the argument,
"The only weeping that should be done

and an additional sum for his under

Burghardt does not lcok upon the
pro visions Of his will as being humor-

is SO serious that he has frustrated the
secretary Of the Barbers' Aid to set
aside the benefits accruing to him
from that organization for the pur-
poses outlined. Asked for the rea-
son for his unusual desires, he said:
II don't see anything unusual about
them. A will, as l understand 1t, gen.
orally is the last wish of a man, and

What He Remembered.

When q prospective voter in one Of
Chicago's election districts was asked
the date Of his naturalization he re-
piled that he had taken out his pa.
pers SO long before that he could not
remember just when he had become
an American.
The officer to whom this statement
was made was extremely thoughtful
for a moment. Then he added:
"Can you remember who was the
Republican candidate for president
that year?
Sure. don't remember who was
running for prisidint." was the re-
sponse. but It was the same year
that stuffy McGinnis was appointed

cHoKED BIG DOG TO DEATH RAGTIME AT HIS FUNERAL
New York Truck Driver Fought Vic
Ious Newfoundland and Saved
Several School Children.

With his bare hands, Harry Edise,
II years old, fought and choked to
death Newfoundland dog. which had
attacked several school children. Only
the heroic work Of Edise saved the
children from being mangled by the
savage animal, but he himself was
badly bitten.
Edise Is truck driver. He was
driving in Hinsdale street when he
saw a group Of children on their way
from school at the noon hour, run
ming and screaming. Following them
was a great black dog. swapping at
the little ones, but fortunately failing
to fasten his teeth In any Of them.
Edise was without a weapon of any
kind, but he leaped from his truck,
ran at the dog and kicked him. The
brute Immediately turned its attention
to It's assailant and leaping at Edise
fastened Its teeth in his left arm
Edise succeeded in breaking the hold
when the dog again seized him, this
time catching the fingers Of his left
hand.
With his free hand Edise grabbed
the dog by the throat and despite its
struggles, held on. The choking
forced the animal to release its grip
on the left hand Of Edise, and he
threw the beast to the sidewalk, knelt
on 1t to prevent 1t squirming loose,
and while a great crowd gathered
and stood helpless he choked the
animal to death.-New York Globe.
