COLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With out the Inspiration of the Rsal-
 mental Coors.

Tho colors of the British army are made of silk. with goldfringed edges and cords and tassels of crimson and gold, mounted on staff eight feet seven inches long.
 To insure their absolute correctness .n matters of detail and pattern, an official of the Heralds' College acts as inspector of colors." He has to furnish drawings and designs, and is responsible that an unauthorized de- parture is made from them.
 Every infantry battalion has two colors-"the wings" and "the regi- mental" The former Is always of the same pattern. and shows the union jack on hue ground, while the lat ter has & wreath of roses, shamrocks and thistles, with the regiments motto and crest, surrounded by a list of the various battles in which it has taken part. .-... .',,-,g, =.
 Regimental colors are no longer car ried into action, but are now left be- hind at headquarters when a battalion proceeds on service. This has been the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A couple of years earlier two young o6d- cers of the South Wales Borders were killed while endeavoring to pro. vent the colors, of which they had charge, fl n falling in o the hands of the enemy at the battle of IsandhE wana.

WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was Complete, but Could by No Means
 Be Called Complimentary.

Stephen Haegen, manager Of a Harlem bank at dinner recently told the following anecdote: Many years ago, while spending a vacation in city in the upper part of the state, he visited some friends in bank While there he saw a severelooking woman move up to the tellers window and request that small check be cashed. She asked the man in the cage to call up the person from whom she had received the check end he would iden- tify her.
 The teller called up the man and asked him to describe the woman. He did so in the following manner: She looked like the crankiest person in the world. She was dressed in the fashion of about five years ago. I think she is an old cat. She wore a blue straw hat. but then it may ba green, and I think she paints. She wore two fake diamond rings. Good by, old man."

 Unfortunately for the French, the Germans discovered the character of these zinc floats, and as they could not hope to see and fish out by ordinary means all the letters that went down thus, they stretched across the river. at Yilleneuve Saint Georges, a net of their own and effectually stopped this system of posta! communication.

"Hls Goose is Cooked"

The expression, This goose Is cook ed," appears in various forms. and means that his cause is ruined. It has some reference to the common but erroneous opinion that "goose" Is synonymous with "fool." The idea has crept into more than one language and twill not down." It Is generally understood that cooking his goose" is a phrase which originated when the king of Sweden, on approaching hos tile town, excited the contempt of the inhabitants by the smallness of his army. To express this they hung out goose for him to shoot at, whereup- on the king set fire to the town to cook their goose"

On . visit to St. Louis, Archbishop Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate. rode in a carriage to the parochial residence with Bishop Glennon, who is rather diminutive in size and of slight build, especially in the stomachic re- gions, while Archbishop Ryan Is tall and very robust. As they alighted from the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said to his companions: Bishop Glennon, l once was asked to explain the differ ence between a bishop and an arch bishop. I answered" (and the arch. bishop extended his arms in a semi circle from his own healthy body, at the same time glancing rather sharply at Bishop 0lennon), "'The difference is all in the arch.'"

Itinerary Enables Tourist, If He Wishes, to DO" the islands n
 the Course of Seven Days.

How to do" the British Isles in a week is the latest scheme for hustlers, A dash around London, a flying de- scent on one or two cathedral cities, race through Scotland and glance at Killarney-this what Is open to those who want to see the country in q hurry. Tourist agents say that the idea is catching on with Ameri- cans. Indeed it was an American who first suggested it.
 Assuming that the tourist begins his trip on Monday, he devotes that day to the show places of London. winding up with a theater In the eve ming. On Thursday he goes to Wind sor and Hampton Court and on his return to London has time to go to a music hall On Wednesday he leaves London for Peterborough, sees the cathedral and gets to York at three o'clock.
 At York the tourist has plenty of time to visit the Minister and other historic buildings before catching the 6:15 train to Hamburgh. He coaches through the Trossachs and takes steamer through Loch Katrins and Loch Lomond. Then the train to Glasgow.
 After dinner the hustler takes the night train out of Glasgow by way of Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin In the afternoon and takes the night train to Killarney.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, 4 chili's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, s3I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases OF sickness say OF them:
Some time age we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor OF any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape Of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at ono appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence Of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
