TAVERN ALSO A pAwNsHop
Establishment In the City Of London,
England, Is In Enjoyment Of
Unique Privilege.

A timehonored London (Eng.) city
tavern, the Castle, at the corner of
Cowcross street, facing Harrington
street, enjoys the unique distinction
OF being also q fully licensed pledge
shop. Over the door in the bar, which
gives access to the landlords private
room, and thrown into bold relief by
the Official document behind it, the
historic threesphered symbol is dis
cernible. Any one may here nego-
tiate a loan upon his personal belong
ings without being under the neces-
sity of first calling for refrshment.
Formerly the house had a special
pledge counter resembling the modern
Bottle and Jug" department, but this
is no longer in evidence.
This strange combination of bust
ness dates from the reign of George
", who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockleyin-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the Castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain. BY royal warrant a
few days later he invested that oblig-
ing boniface with the right of adj
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a
pawnbroker's license has been annual
ly granted to the Castle. This hostel
ry is mentioned once or twice by
Dickens In his novels.

AMERICAN SOLDIER THE BEST
Worlds Records for Workmanship All
Hla, and He lie Trained to Act
on His Own Initiative.

If there is n big, distinguishing
trait OF the United States regular, 1t
Is individuality. In every n Of the
great foreign military nations, particu-
larly Germany and Japan, battalion
and company officers and enlisted men
are carefully trained not to think for
themselves. They are used as mere
chess pieces under the guidance of a
master mind. In this country, where
our melting pot has yielded us an ex-
traordinary self-reliant, cool thinking,
intensive initiative product, it is-only
natural that our soldiers should be
trained as are our civilians.
The United States army spends an
nually on rife target practice five
times the sum spent by any other
army of an equal number Of men. This
applies, too. to u field and coast ar
tillery. As a result, no better marks
men can be found than the American
soldier and his cousin, the national
guardsman, who is trained along the
same lines. Every worlds fire con
troll and accuracy record with rife and
big gun Is today held by the American
soldier.
The United States army Is small, in
accordance with the will Of the people
not to support a large standing mill
tary establishment. But what we
have is almost 100 per cent. efficient,
the splendid nucleus Of the big army
of regulars, militia and volunteers
which We SHOULD place in the field ii
occasion required. 1t Is only In equip
ment Quartermaster, commissaryl
medicine and particularly ordinances

Modestv the Best Policy.

TT was the early part Of the New
L Year. and little Dorothy with her
mother, was paying a long de-
layed visit TO Uncle Silas.
Now, Uncle Silas was wealthy
very wealthy-and little Dorothy was
vastly interested in the heather black.
So one morning she appeared I'm front
of the said uncle, and asked.
Uncle dear, will you please give
me something for my missionary
bOX?"
The incident took place immediate
ly following a particularly satisfying
lunch. and Uncle Silas playfully threw
on the dining room table a dime a
half-dollar and a five-dollar note, re
marking:
There, dear, you can have which
you like of the three"
Then he watched to see what little
Dorothy would do.
That young person approached the
table and studied the situation for
fully three seconds. Then she sud
denly burst out:
"Mummys always told me not TO
be greedy, so I'll take the dime. But
will you please wrap it up in that
crinlIly bit Of paper uncle, so as l
sha'n't lose it?"
And uncle did.
