Officer on Visit to
Germany.

New York.-Capt. Matthew e. Han.
ma, q. s. L.. who recently resigned
from the army to enter business in,
this city. has discovered that the gov.
eminent does not believe in tips. Can
tain Hanna, as a member of the gen
eral staff, witnessed the German army
maneuvers as guest of the emperor In
1911, and on his visit spent $8O.45 in
tips to walters and hotel servants.
1t was said that the total bill Of
1919 which he turned in was only half
OF what it cost him to maintain his
part of the dignity of the United
States representative during his visit.
and in this he had included the tin.
ping item.
After considerable correspondence
the treasury department has finally
ruled that Captain Hanna must stand,
the tipping expense himself.

URGES KINDNESS TO COWS
Wisconsin Man Writes a Series OF
lnjunctions to Dairymen and
to Mixers.

Madison, Wis.-"Speak to a COW as
you would to a lady"-the motto of an
early Wisconsin dairyman-is also
the message Of Malcolm H. Gardner
OF Delavan. Wis, superintendent of
the Advanced Registry Holstein-
Friesian Association Of America, who
was u of the speakers at the annual
meetings of Wisconsin live stock
breeders associations here.
If a person desires to install a
music box in his stable" runs the
Gardner philosophy, lit. may be that
it will work all right. but the less OF
singing. whistling and loud talking
there is the better it will be. Indeed,
talking Of all kinds except the low
spoken, soothing words of the mixer
to the COW. should be prohibited. No
man who hates milking and dislikes
cows can make any great success;
there must be sympthy between the
COW and the mixer. Motherhood and
milk production go together. Treat
the COW like a mother. Be kind; it
will pay. and pay big"
The personal equation" according
to Mr.. Gardner, represented by the
regard the COW has for her attendant.
gives hand milking an advantage over
the machine. There Is usually a vast
difference In results, he says, between
the mixer who gets the COW into po-
sition by pushing the leg Of the stool
into her flank and then kicks her on
the shin to make her step back and
the man who gains the same ends
with patience and gentleness.
"Who can blame the COW for want
Ing to kick the first MANI" he says.

NEGRO BURGLAR ARRESTED.
a. {. l.. Night Watchman Catches
Negro In Box Car Tuesday Morn
ing.

Claude Thomas was the name given
py negro caught this morning in a
box car and having with him a grip
containing some of the articles which
had been stolen from Mayesville Sun
day morning. The negro was first
seen and taken in hand by night
watchman Baldwin who later called
III help, when the negro pat up a
stiff fight to free himself. Police
headquarters were telephoned to and
Policeman Ward went to the scene
of the trouble and took the darky in
charge, bringing him into the guard
house, where he is lodging today.
The negro at first denied emphati-
cally being in any way concerned
with the Mayesville robberies, but la
ter when placed in the guard house
he admitted entering the stores over
there and stealing the articles which
were in his grip when he was caught.
He was seen by Chief Of Police j. H.
Hinson of Mayesville this morning
and the articles were identified as
those which had been stolen from
Mayesville.
When discovered in box car
Thomas resisted the night watchman
who at once decided that there was
something wrong about the darky
When the suit case was opened and
the articles seen it was decided that
this was the negro wanted in Mayes-
vile. There were two suits of cloth
ing, underwear, and various other ar
ticles in the suit case. The articles
belong to T. l.. Kahn of Mayesville
from whom they were taken.
1t happened that Policeman Hin
son had come over from Mayesville
on the early morning train to arrest
negroes wanted in Mayesville for fines
which had been imposed against them
but which they had skipped out with
out paying. Policeman Ward at once
communicated with him after tn,
arrest of Thomas and it was not Ions
before the articles were positively
identified.
Hicks Wilson, the negro wanted by
Hinson, was arrested by Policeman
Ward and as soon as the pay trair
came in he secured the money com
ing to him and paid his fine.

Of work done. 1t Is expected that

BALKAN STATES ON EVE Az WAR
Only Hopeful Feature is Bulgaria. :
Lack OF Sinews of War.

London, June with both sides
stubborn in refusing to make the
slightest concession, war between the
Balkan States is hourly becoming
more imminent. If Bulgaria sends a
negative reply to the Servian note
and nothing indicates that she will
answer Otherwise-Servia and Greece
will proclaim the annexation of the
occupied Macedonian territories
thereby establishing definite casus
belli.
The only hopeful feature of the sit
uatiOn consists in the belief that Bull
garia is lacking the sinews Of war.
Servia and Greece are not only better
situated in this respect, but also oc-
cupy superior strategical positions.
These facts probably account for the
calmness with which Servia apparent
ly regards the prospects of war.

Mr.. Lands, out of congress for
four years, said he had been i'm the
employ Of the Dupont Powder com
pany for three years. His principal
business with the concern was to build
up the South American trade. He
was member Of the house foreign
affairs committee, he said, and be-
lieved that fact had had something
to do with his employment which
came unsolicited by him. He spent
much of his first year with the powder
company here, but for the last two
years has been an infrequent caller.

cross examination of the witness about
that first year in Washington. Mr..

that our currency laws are not the
