He was acting as war CORES pendent

was led past the hating place of the
officers Of the 30th infantry, where

escorts explanation that was being
taken to the quarter general by Gen.
Poploff's orders was not sufficient for
the colonel commanding, who or
dered me to dismount.
Before / could comply / was seized
by lumber of people and dragged
from my horse. a revolver was held to
my face, sword to my throat, and
my arms were twisted behind my
back. i was again searched and asked
for my revolver and papers. Every
thing possessed was taken from me-
the colonel himself going through my
pockets with delicacy which sug
gested that l might have been thief

hitting some crime.
The party failed to find the quarter
general, and at nightfall Mr. Hamil

Of the officers of the Thirty-sixth in
fantry. He says:
i was at once told to dismount anl
to sit upon the ground, where my
knees and ankles were bound with

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be fitted
right side out-as it is to be worn.
Almost everyone has some variation
in the two sides of the figure. One
shoulder will be trife higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side trifie lower than its mate, re-
sulting in a slightly longer wasted
underarm seam on that side than on
the other. Now, IL you fit the waist
wrong side out, when you have
stitched the seams and put 1t on right
side out the fitting will be exactly
reversed. The high shoulder will be
in the side OF the waist that was fitted
to the low shoulder.

the carrier who goes with him to stop
on his way or loiter. II he tries to do
so Mike simply walks on. So when
he arrives at the hotel he allows time
for the carrier to take the mail in and
get back. and il he does not come
back within that time Mike simply
moves e5N to his next stop.
Why, | can send the greenest sub
in the Office out with Mike and he
won't go astray, if he knows how to
read the labels on the mail sacks.
He is never sick and has never
lost an hours time. When we are
ready for him in the morning it takes
two men to hitch him, he is so eager
to get on his job. He never stands in
sleepy way like some horses. His
eyes are always wide open and he
seems to be always on the alert, but
there is a conservatism and a dignity
about him that makes me feel proud
of him as a member Of our. delivery

VIZ ASHLNGTON.--Fo govern
w ments have had their military
and naval representatives in Wash
ington watching the experiments that
this government has been conducting
at the Washington navy yard with
the new catapult device for launching
aeroplanes. The launching machine
is the design of Capt w. /. Cham
bers, in charge of aviation in the
navy. 1t practically is a compressed
air gun that shoots the aeroplane into
the air so that 1t can be launched
from a warship at any time and the
catapult then stored below. out Of the
way.
Several tests of the device have
been made, various hydro-aeroplanes
being used. What was generally con-
sidered the supreme test was made
the other day when the new aero
boat that has been built for the navy
by Glenn Curtiss was shot into the
air for successful fight with Lieut..
Theodore Ellyson, the first of the
navy aviators, at the helm.
The new boat is larger and heavier
than any other hydro-aeroplane the
government has used. 1t has body
like light, fast powerboat, and seats

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
a couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply draped gowns in white

trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi-
dered velvets, brocaded satins and
