received my thanks with a polite

immense relief expressed on his coun-

the piano again was very amusing.
Then may We have one tune be-

'Rosin the Bow with variations.

some accident or other he was inca
pacitated for further manual work and
his farm was about to 60 to waste.
He bethought himself Of his two sons
and wished eagerly that at least one
Of them were now with him. He de-
termined to go to Lincoln and ask for
the release Of one of his sons. Most
of his friends told him that his efforts
would. be fruitless. Nevertheless he
went. He explained his dilemma to
the president, who seemed rather I'M
certain. He also knew that Stanton
would grow angry and resent such an
action.
Finally he said: "All right, I'll let
you keep one son and we will keep
the other. You can tell Stanton that

gress the privilege of discharging one

The boy was discharged, and need
less to say none of the members of
congress exercised their supposed
right Of discharging soldiers, of which
right they were unaware.

the permit and the colonel went to

The president was very much de-
pressed by some adverse event and
told the colonel very bluntly that such
a request could not be entertained for
a moment. The colonel was In terrible
grief at the idea Of not being able
to bury his wife at home. All the
consolation that Lincoln gave him was

MORE BICYCLES NOW
 MANUFACTURED THAN EVER

More bicycles will be made in the United States for 1915 than were made in any year except the very hey-day of bycyc- ling, 20 years ago. Experts say more bi- cycles than ever before are being used in this country now. This is just one of the interesting points brought out by the Goodyear Tire company in it's motorcycle and h-cycle tire announcement for 19lH.
 Sales Manager Taylor of the local Good year company says:
 ''This year three out of every four mo- torcycles are Goodyear equipped. The same proportion will continue in 1915. Six strong reasons for this are in our plan for the new year. Goodyear tires will have stronger beads than ever before They will have gum strips between plies at the spices. same as Goodyear automo- bile tires. still more durable tread stock has been evolved for the 1915 product The feather edge of the flap has been perfected. Every Goodyear tube will carry a valve spreader, and the tubes themselves will be heavier than ever be- fore.
 "In bicycle tires we have a radical new proposition. We will make one style of

cars greatly exceed the comparatively small number of multi-powered motor cars.
 "1t is a conservative estimate to say that over half of the 1,600000 automobiles in use have positive commercial value
 and the larger part of the remaining 50 per cent are partially employed ser
 iously; carrying men to business or peo- pie to railroad stations, and otherwise
 serving those who abridge distance by road.

 fact that as citizens We shall pay with all others whatever general taxes may be imposed in any war measure adopted

Adds Tango to Crime Causes

From the New York Sun.
 In suspending sentence in the cases of two youths who had pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny, County Judge Fawcett in Brooklyn listed white lights and tango nights in the catalog- of incentives to crime.
 You can't expect to dance all night" he said, ''and lie abed half the day, yet always have money for your ca rousals, unless you steal it. And let me tell you our jails and penitentiaries are full of people with just such ideas. If your family had given you good beat ings instead of money to spend 1t would have been better for you
 "The boys, John Colver, 20 years old, of 4S7 Hancock street, and Carlton Chap man, 16 or S62 Jefferson avenue, had been indicted for stealing money and jewelry from Adelaide Wiston, keeper of furnished room house, where they lived for time. They belong to respectable families of moderate means. Both prom ised the judge to so home and begin again, Chapman to return to school and Colver to work Both wore tango pumps and silk shirts when arratgned.

BRUSSELS PANIC IS DESCRIBED BY NURSE:
Unreasoning Terror Seized Inhabitants at Thought of
 German Occupation

London, October -(Special) )-One of the most remarkable accounts of the oc- cupation of Brussels is contained in the ciary of an English nurse
 She describes wild. unreasoning panic as follows:
 This afternoon we were sitting in the gardens, sewing, when suddenly we heard screams, everyone began to run. moth CTS snatching up their children, everyone livid in the face and calling on the saints We thought the massacres had begun at last but, do you know, 1t was nothing.
 Some one unknown started the rumor that the French were at the gates that there would be fighting in the streets and that the Germans would massacre as they went out. This will interest you. The panic just struck the city like wave. with not the slightest foundation, and in five minutes it was all over. and every one was rushing and screaming and pray ing.
 ''It Is the oldest thing I ever saw, and interested me enormously. A regular mob rolled up tine hill to take breath. look at the city and prepare for death, and a fiery little man with one eye harangued them and told them they were every sort of fool, and I acted as chorus to the best of my ability. Talk of hallucinations- there they stood looking at little heat mist and normal red sunset and as- surfing one another that they saw clouds of smoke and sheets of flame and one man said continually:
 Listen, listen; one can hear the can non every minutel When all was abso- lutely quiet and another There's an aeroplane! Look Look and everyone 1 looked at space. Sister and I tore dAwn to the town to see if there was any truth at all in it, and found everywhere the same panic, and houses barricaded and people flying from death and no reason at all. had been going round to have some coffee after dinner with NJ -, but got a note, Don't come The French are here and there is fighting in the streets ? All the same I hied me round to sister, and off we Totted to see this bloody battle, and found the city like an abode of the dead all the terrified people barricaded in, and no one about but . few German sentries and we had much ado to get our mlkless coffee.''
