Comrades Keep Secret.


On leaving the house the FederaIs took
with them Col Mosby's cloak, coat, and
hat The hat was light bun, with a gold
cord and star-a mucn more elegant head
covering than " usually worn by a
Heutanant. and plainly the hat Of gen.
eral officer.
On the party reaching Middleburg the
hat was shown by Maj. Frazar to the
senior officer there, Lieut.. Col David R.
Clendenin. OF the Eighth Illinois Cavalry.
Eight Of Mosby's men having been
taken, the hat Eas shown TO them. They
looked at it closely in the light OF the
campfire, and each positively declared 1t
was not Mosby's hat The trooper who
had been with Mosby said II was Lieut.
Johnson's'' hat. When told that the
wearer of the hat was dead the soldiers
showed no emotion. but stuck TO their
story
Next morning Lieut. Col. CIendenin's
column rode past the house In which
Mosby had been wounded Two horses
stood before it. As they wore Federal
tappings they were not disturbed. The
animals were Mosbys and Loves. Their
equipment had been taken from the
knemy
The FederaIs had not ridden far when
they heard. from various sources, rumors
that Col. Mosby had been wounded 1t
then began TO dawn on them that it might
have been Mr~by whom Mai E're-ar had

Matrimony and Cash.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Missouri is changing its marriage laws
and st. Joseph clubwoman is trying to
insert a provision requiring all couples
desiring to marry to show at least $500.
Poverty, shiftlessness and a failure to
save cause more divorces than anything
else" she argues. She may be right, but
the chances are that the little winged
god is not worrying over the attempt to
weight his arrows with a few ounces of
gold. 1t may be foolish to rush into the
responsibilities Of matrimony minus cash.
but the world has grown on such fool
ishness. Shall thoughts turn to saving
Of money when the most glorious girl of
the ages smiles and gently intimates a
desire for flowers or candy or picnics or
tri1es; when simple yes makes a uni
verse too small gift in return for that
confidence: when the generosity of soul
is boundless and only credit limited ?
Later it is true that $500 might come in
handy. Later life may become more a
thing Of commerce-but the glory Of real
love Is that 1t doesn't stop to count PEN
nies or calculate costs. If it did-if this
had been its habit in the ages past
precious few of us would be here today,
either to love or to carry on trade and
make and save money, and heaven long
forefend the day when Cupid shall be
caught stealthily figuring up his bank
balance!

FOR INTERNATIONAL MATCH.
Polo May Be Played Between U. S
and British Army Officers.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Believing that
polo has advanced sufficiently in the
United States Army to warrant such a
contest, the Army and Navy Journal in
a recent issue advocates a match between
British and American army officers. Its
remarks on the subject are as follows:
In view of the fact that the four
members of the British polo team which
was recently victorious in the interna-
tional match at Meadow Brook are OFF,
GERS of the British army and that the
game of polo has now won for itself a
place among the sports of the Cniteu
States Army, perhaps the time has come
the army officers of the two nations.

TRYING FOR ONE EVENT.
American Trainers Abroad Want to
Win Olympic Marathon.

NEW YORK, July 27.-There is one
event that each of the four American
trainers on the other side will try to win
for the country whose Olympic team he
is preparing, and that is the marathon
race. More credit is attached to win
ming that event than anything else on the
list. AL COPELAND has already big bunch
out doing preliminary work for the long
race, and he no doubt figures that in
case the Austrian athletes do not make
any extraordinary showing in the other
numbers. if by any chance he can
win the marathon he will gain lot OF
credit.
Ernie Hjertberg since he has been in
Sweden has had a big squad out for the
long g-distance races. and now he has sew
eral very promising performers for that
game. COPELAND and Hjertberg under
stand the training of marathon runners
thoroughly and their men will be in the
best of condition whenever they start. A.
c. Kraenzlein, the German trainer, has
several thousand runners out on long
distance runs twice a week.

food adulterations were taken by Jacques

decree issued In 14s1 he directed that "a
funnel shall be placed in the mouth of
any man or woman convicted of having
sold watered milk and the said watered
milk shall be poured down the funnel
until such time as doctor shall declare
that the culprit cannot be made to swal-
low any more without danger of death" ="
The seller of impure butter was to be
put in the pillory. when the butter shall
be crushed down upon his head and shall
remain there until the sun shall have

GOLFING HINTS.
BY ~STRAIGHT DRIVE"

Chip Shots.-A stroke which it
is worth while to acquire is the
chip shot from a few yards of the
green up to the cup. 1t can be
played with mashie, jigger or mid
iron, but probably. for most con-
sistent results, with the latter.
jerome D. Travers plays this
stroke most wonderfully. holing
out many such shots. so excellent
is his judgment Of distances and
direction.
1t is called a chip shot for the
reason that the ball is just chip
ped clear Of the ground for a few
yards and then rolls up to its goal.
Mr.. Travers uses it from various
distances up to twenty or thirty
yards off the green. but it's great
est deadliness is from just off the
green, where it is ordinarily dan
gerodus to try the putter or to trust
to pitch with the mashie where
the going is straightaway.
The shot takes on the proportions
Of a longish putt when played cor
rectly. and it Is a great addition
to the equipment of any player.

these markets need but how these goods must be
packed, shipped and the terms
upon which they are to be sold in order to get the
South American business.
Owing to the soil, the unimproved roads and
the heavy rainfall, farm wagons sold in Argen-
tine must have a much broader tread than those
made for the trade in the United States or Eur
ope. This. lis only one popularity out of mil
lion that manufacturers of this country must
learn to cater to, if they would capture the South
American trade. Every line of goods has its own
peculiar details it must attend to.
The question of tariffs enters extensively into
South American trade, for the tariff schedules of
those countries are made on an entirely differ
ent basis than our tariff schedules. Like the
European schedules they vary according to the
articles size weight, and other specifications.
Articles packed certain way are taxed several
times higher than the articles packed an
other way. For this reason the manner in which
goods for South America are packed is OF vital
Importance, something the manufacturers of this
country have not learned or will not believe.
The representatives of the National City
bank are along to explain the system of credits
and extension of terms necessary to get this
trade and also to explain how the branch banks
to be established in South America by the Ma
tional City bank will be in position to handle all
this exchange and collection. Other railroads in
the east to start the same system of
trains.
This is the first serious concerted and intelli-
gent effort that has been made by manufacture
and kindred spirits in the industrial and COM
mercial world to live up to pretensions of be-
ing great commercial nation of tremendous
initiative. Aided by sensible legislation or lack
of fool legislation, this sort of team work should
prove effective.-South Bend Tribune.
