The amusing accounts of peaceful
barter between Federal and Confed-
crate soldiers on the picket line are
paralleled by an incident from the
memoirs of Colonel Angel, who
served in the Austrian army during
the war with Italy in 1853. Anglers
personal adventures on the day of
Magenta are well worth giving, says
Dorothea Gerard, who has reviewed
the coloners work for the Cornhill
Magazine.
The adventures began when he, to-
gether with a handful of men, got
separated from his battalion, and
that in turn resulted from an attack
that the battalion made on trouble
some troop of 'Turcos." Presently
Angel and his men found themselves
on one side of the little river Navig
lilo, the opposite bank of which was
occupied by the French. There they
stayed until evening, firing and being
fired at in rather desultory fashion
No orders reached them and they
were quite unaware of how the battle
was going.
The day was hot and both the
temperature and the occupation were
conducive to thirst. The sight of flow
ing water soon became tantalizing.
but to leave the ranks meant, of
course to become target for the
French bullets; so even the thirstiest
desisted. All at once the French fire
stopped the Austrians followed suit.
A moment later the figure of a French
officer rose from the bushes on the
opposite bank and advanced. flask il

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
BY MARY MARSHALL.
MARCH 10
Caroline HersoheI
copyrighted 1918.

If, you were born on March is you
have a wide choice of famous women
to claim as your birthday patroness.
Most famous of them all probably is
the very little, very gentle, very
modest and very ingenious Carolina
Lucretia HerSchel, foremost of women
astronomers. If you are in search of
literary patroneSS you can choose
the Comtesse de La Fayette, whose
famous novel la Princesse de
Cleves," was the first psychological
novel. If you are musical you can
not possibly wish for a more inspir-
ing patroness than Lillian Blauvelt,
today and if your ideal is the all
round feminine sort of woman who
gained fame through her influence on
men of genius rather than through
effort, you will choose
as your example the charming,
sprightly Mary Berry, who was born
one hundred and fifty-one years ago
today.
Caroline Herschel, who was born in
Hanover in 1850, had as hard a time
as ever woman did to break away
from the drudgery of endless house,
work which her old fashioned mother
thought was woman's proper duty in
life Caroline even went SO far as to
learn dressmaking, so that she might
have a suitable calling outside of
household drudgery; but her brother
William the first great modern as
tronomer, came to her rescue, and 1t
was in helping him at first with his
music and then with his astronomi-
cal observations that she proved her

derstood by him to the senior senator
from Colorado, the late Henry NJ.
Teller. e-President Arthur had
met the senator in a perfectly per-
functory way only, but there was
something about the personality of
this intensely serious and wonderfully
industrious senator which caused
General Arthur frequently to take
heed of him.
The two were utterly unlike, both
in their Intellectual characteristics
and in their temperamental qualities.
General Arthur was a man of highly
cultivated taste with respect to dress,
He was never overdressed but always
perfectly dressed Senator Teller, on
the other hand. seemed to require
only immaculate cleanliness in his
linen and apparel, not caring partic-
ularly otherwise about his garments
or their fit. General Arthur possessed
a very keen sense of humor and was,
moreover a man of highly cultivated
literary tastes, although that was
known only to a few of his friends.

humor he never revealed that quality
to any of his colleagues, In none of
his speeches-which were many and
sometimes very long-did he suggest
that he had been fond of reading the
great authors.
He had no gift of oratory. His
voice contained a peculiar, almost
melancholy. cadence, and yet the in
tense earnestness and seriousness of
the man and the sense of the sin
cerity and integrity of his character
were so strong that he gained the re-
spect of his colleagues and something
like admiration from Vice President
Arthur, who cultivated the senator's
acquaintance.

watchfuI of All Interests.

From the New York Evening Post.
Be it remembered that. every au-
thenticated case in which MeXicans
have outraged Americans or des-
troyed their property or murdered
them, has been investigated by our
state department, and that the rec
ord has been filed away as the basis
of a demand for indemnity. The
government is not shutting its eyes
to what has been going on. Repara-
ton will be exacted. If order is re-
stored in Mexico an da stable gov
stored in Mexico and a stable gov
eminent set up, great sums of money
VIII have to be paid, as is right, in
settlement of the claims of foreign
erS. There is no reason whatever,
as Senator Shively remarked, to sup
pose that our state department has
not been vigilant in all this matter.
1t has been looking after the inter-
ests of our citizens, and will continue
to do so; but the President has also
thought of the interests of Americans
not in Mexico. AS a mere matter of
dollars and cents and taxes it would
be far cheaper for us to pay all the
claims of Americans against Mexico
than to go to war; with her.
Ii all this is said to be dealing with
the Mexican question on the low
ground of American losses and money
damages, the reply is that this is
where Senator Fall left the matter.
1t makes a poor argument for war.
Because 100 Americans have been
killed and our citizens have claims
amounting to s10,o00000, the sugges-
ton is that we go to war and Sacri-
flee hundred times as many Amer.
lean lives and a thousand times as
many dollars. We do not for a mo-
ment deny that graver issues are in
Volved-our national obligation, our
international duty. But these i'm
portant matters are being duly con-
sidered by our government, and all
the evidence is that the country, as a
whole, Is content with it's policy of
waiting, and of avoiding war, if it
be possible. Happily, the people of
the United States are far from being
in the excited and inflammable con-
dition of 1898; so that an incendiary
utterance like Senator Falls has little
chance of setting the land ablaze.

in President Gariield's cabinet table
as secretary of the interior, resigned
as secretary and took his scanty be-
longings and his corncob pipe back to
Iowa the first man President Arthur
thought of as his successor was Sena-
tor Henry M. Teller of Colorado.
In a converse ton which / had with
President Arthur shortly after he had
persuaded, with great difficulty, SEN
ator Teller to accept the portfolio of
secretary of the interior. the Presi-
dent said: There was no politics in
the sense in which the term is COM
monty used in my selection of Sena-
tor Teller as secretary of the interior.
1t was my personal choice. In the
first place, | knew that he would be
confirmed by the Senate instantly
and without reference to a commit
tee. In the second place, ! knew the
sincerity of the man and his Won
derful power of application and in
dustry. Then l had good reasons for
knowing that he was a man of in
corruptible character and of pecu-
liarly strong common sense, and then,
too, he was familiar with many fea-
lures of that part of the country
which is west of Missouri and with
which the secretary of the interior
would have much to do. He did not
want to give up his seat in the Sem
ate. He was proud of the fact that
he was the centennial senator, having
been elected as the first senator from
Colorado on the admission of that
State to the Union in the centennial
year, 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that he was persuaded to give
up a seat in the Senate to take a
place in my cabinet. He was q very
valuable man in the Senate, and
am certain that if he cares to return
to that body he will easily be re-
elected after his service in my cabinet
is ended
That prediction was justified, for
Senator Teller went from his office
in the interior department to the
Senate chamber Immediately after his
service as secretary of tine interior
was ended.

swarming with thirsty men, who ex-
changed friendly and ocular remarks
across the water, When all had drunk

Ireland, has signed an order chang
ing Cunningham's Christian name in
his naturalization papers from Peter
to Patrick.
Cunningham said in a petition to
the court that before he left Ireland
at the age of thirteen his family had
quit calling him Patrick because so
many other members of the family
bore that name. They called him
Peter, but when he came to this coun-
try he tried to resume the use OF
Patrick. He lived with an uncle
named Patrick. who compelled him to
be Peter. Then he took out naturail-
zation papers and although he told
the clerk his real name was Patrick
the clerk made out the papers in the
name of Peter Cunningham.

When the Teams Go South.


From the Indianapolis News.
"Old Nanny South" has taken the
Northern ball teams. As regularly as
the first bird comes North, the first
baseball club goes South and the new
order of the milder months begins. 1t
Is really an event of national i'm
portance-this annual departure for
the South. Fondly as we love our
North with its capricious weather, we
cannot help-in the month of March
especially-looking with desire toward
the South. Some of the teams are in
Florida, some in Alabama, some in
Arkansas, some in Texas, some may
hap as far away as Cuba. But South
they are, and we shall see none of
schedule opens.
One of the mysteries of spring ball
training is the omnipresehee of Old
Man Charleyhorse. No matter how
far away from home the teams may
go, or how swiftly they travel Old
Man Charleyhorse is there on the
spring training ground to meet them.
He hangs round closer than brother,
even closer than big league scout, If
the team in question is of the minors.
OF course, Charleyhorse is only one
of a number of bogeys of which our
teams must beware. There is no tell
ing what the first week or so may de-
Velop. Perhaps a "phenom' from the
bush may appear, or perhaps-repu-
tation forbid-one of the old war
horses may go lame and drop behind
from major to minor and minor to
semi prof ever a genuinely great
player could fall so low.
