ENEMY PUT
TO FLIGHT
AustrianS, Thrown Into Breech,
Share Usual Fate In Prus-
sian Battles.

London, Nov. q. The Petrograd
correspondent of the Chronicle,
describing the reported German de-
feat in Poland, says:
The weakness Of Gen. Won Hind
enburg's position was that he was
isolated from the Crown Princes
army. which was fighting south of
Czenstochowa. When Won linden
burg found himself hard pressed he
ordered into the gap at Wielun the
Austrian troops who were intended
to turn the Russian left. These Aus
trians shared the fate of all Austrians
who have been made to fight the
Prussian battles. The Russian gen.
adiers put them to flight, capturing
5000 prisoners.
Gen. Won Hindenburg's position
is now hopeless and the thousands of
prisoners streaming into Warsaw
speak eloquently of his failure.
'In the battle with the Crown
Princes army the Russians are win.

The Russian army advancing
westward from the River San is
within twelve miles of Cracow. The
civil population, fearing the destruc-
ton of the city, demanded its sur
render. In reply the military Gov.
ernor ordered the wholesale expulsion
of civilians.

First 20 DistiII Perfumes.

The process of distilling perfumes
was invented by Avicenua, an Arabian
doctor who lived in the tenth century.
He was the first to discover the proc
ess of separating the aroma from the
plants and flowers so that 1t could
be used instead of greasy unguents
and smelly oils. Early-day physicians
used to prescribe certain sweet odors
for various ailments. particularly in
the case of nervousness. The Egyp-
tian women wore strings Of scented
beads on their necks. as do the Chi
nese women of today and the modern
woman with her string of scented
rose beads.

THAT liar is always outside,"
Seeing Contemporaries as They Ar.


After all, the test of. vacation Is
the renewed zest with which we take
up our work on our return. The per-
son who lives among his contempor-
aries all the time has no idea what in
teresting people they are. They ap-
pear even romantic when one returns
to them from a short trip abroad.
There Is moment before We begin
again to do things, when we have
leisure to see things.
or course, We must take up our re-
sponsibilities again. Our serious BUSH
ness with our contemporaries is to
improve their conditions, their morals
and their manners. We do not have
too much time for this work. But be-
fore we begin again the attempt to
make them what they ought to be, we
may enjoy the moment when We have
enough freshness Of vision to see then
as they are.-Aklantic Monthly.

TOL[EFSRUN
WON VICTORY
For Sewanee Over Vanderbilt
In Great Game
Thursday.
WAS CLOSE AND EXCITING.
Hero Of The Day and Makes
New Record For The
Team.
WAS CLOSE AND EXCITING.

In the football game at Nashville
Thursday Sewanee defeated Wander
bilt for the first time since 1909 by ID
to IL. The game was won by Lee
Tolley, the 14S-pound captain and
field general of the Tiger eleven,
who closed his gridiron career by
fine exhibition of football as has
ever been seen in the history of foot
ball in Nashville.
Not only did the blond-haired
youth lead the second Sewanee team
to beat Vanderbilt the third time in
Is years, but he contributed one of
the most spectacular runs ever wit
messed on Dudley field when he re-
turned punt seventy-five yards
through the entire Vanderbilt bril-
gade for Sewanee's second touch
down.
For brilliance and beauty of exc
cution it has had few equals, if any,
in the south, and the Tiger leader
retires from the game as the pre-
mier quarterback in the S. |. A. A
beyond doubt.
While it fell to the Purple captain
to carry his team to victory, the
fates conspired against the Commo.
dore leader. who also played his final
football game, and for the first time
experienced the sensation of being
beaten by the Tigers. The difference
in the score was goal from touch.
down. and it was Captain Skies,
over anxious to tie it up. whose toe
failed to ring up the final point
which would have brought the ba-
tie to deadlock.
Sewanee scored two touchdowns
on the Commodores, in both of
which Mr.. Tolley played prominent
part. kicking each goal successfully,
while the Commodores also scored
as many touchdowns, only made one
goal.

REALLY GOOD MUSICAL PUNs
" Such Play Upon Words Ever Is Per-
MISSILE, These Two May Be
Pardoned.

II is said that a respectable trades
man of the name Of G. sharp was as
tonished one morning to find that
some musical wag had added to his
name the words is a fat" which,
however correct in a musical sense.
was certainly far from complimentary
to the worthy tradesman.
There is another instance in which
a capital musical pun was perpetrated.
equally correct in a technical sense,
and equally uncomplimentary to the
person at whose expense 1t was made.
Two gentlemen were passing the shop
OF a music seller in the southeast dis
triet Of the metropolis, and the pro-
prietor was standing outside the door.
AS they did so. one Of them pointed
in the direction of the shop, and re.
marked:
THAT liar is always outside!"
The unoffending tradesman heard
the remark. and wonderful to relate
seemed immensely tickled at the OBJ.
servation. The secret of it was that
he thought the remark had reference
to his sigma golden lyre-over the
shop-front.-London Tit-Bits.

OLD TINE MINING
CAMP COMING BACK

According to the Goldfeld Tri-
bune, after a period of thirty years
of inactivity, the old Belmont dis
trict, located f%orty-seven miles
north of Tonopah, in Nye county,
is about to be rejuvenated through
the signing Saturday by the Nell
son brothers. who are operating
numerous properties there, of a
contract with the Nevada Califor-
mia Power Company for the extern
sion of its power line from Mc.hat-
tan, a distance Of fourteen miles.
A force of surveyors has been sent
out and the actual construction of
the line will be started in a few
days. 1t is estimated that the line
will be completed by November j.
Belmont first became known tn
the mining world in 1864 and at
one time attained a population of
10000. During the twenty years
following its discovery, the district
produced owe Sis, 0OO, 900 in sill
err. In 1885 the mines were fore
ed to shut down, due to the in
creased cost of treating and mining
the ore. Since then the cost of
treatment has dropped to less than
81 per ton. In the boom days it
cost the producers as much as $40
per ton to handle their ore.
The Nelson brothers have acquir-
ed practically all of the mines in
the district and Incorporated them
under the name of the Monitor
Mining Company. A mill is being
built and will probably be ready
for use when the power line is COM
plPted.

REGISTERING FOR LAND

Registration for the recently
opened project land is proceeding
slowly, the condition being logically
attributable to the inpromptu ma
ture of the opening and the fact
that humanity generally is inclined
toward procrastination.
Each incoming train brings q
fair quota of land seekers, who are
vieing with each other in securing
the valley for desirable locations.
The registrations effected to date
are practically all from among local
residents who have waited long for
the opportunity to pick upon the
object of their long cherished de-
sire.
Those in charge Of the land dis
posal estimate that the closing days
of the registration period which
ends on the 10TH of this month,
will be characterized by lively at
tempts to get money down on many

100 units of public land are open
