Two ConstabIes.

Darien, Conn.-Severia Fulco, sixty
years old, of Stamford, with a revolver,
a long stiletto and three sticks of dy-
Mantle and Illuminating caps, made a
demonstration here after Lucia Mat
terasia, seventeen years old, who had
never seen him before, declined to
marry him and treated the marrying
proposition as Joke.
Fulco shot twice at Miss Matterasia
as she ran away, three times at Con-
stable Mather, who was approaching
him, and attempted to shoot at Con-
stable Green, but there were then only
empty shells in the weapon. The con-
stables bound Fulco hand and foot and
put him in the lookup, where he re-

After the constables had knocked
Fulco down they found the stiletto and

lection of one of the practice trench
traverses. He threw the discard be-
yond another wall of earth. There
was a sharp report. burst of smoke
and some fragments of earth were
tossed into the air.
In small affair of two hundred
yards of trench the other day it was
estimated that the British and Ger
mans together threw about five thou
sand bombs in this fashion. 1t was
enough to sadden any minister of mu-
nitions. However, the British kept
the trench.
DO your men like to become bomb
ers?' one asked the subaltern.
Il should say so. 1t puts them up
In front. 1t gives them chance to
throw something-and they don't get

was pleased as Punch with himself.
A first-class bombing detachment has
lot of pride of corps"
To bomb has become as common a
verb with the army as to bayonet.
I'VE bombed them out!" means a
section of trench taken. AS you know
a trench is dug and built with sand
bags in zigzag traverses. In follow
ing the course of trench it is as If
you followed the sides of the squares
of checker board up and down and
across on the same tier of squares.
The square itself is bank of earth

bombs their way into the possession
of section of German trench there
are Germans under cover of the trav-

German is waiting around the corner
to shoot the first British head that
shows itself.

that you get them into their traverse
or they may be as troublesome to you
as to the enemy"
With the bombs bursting in their
faces the Germans who are not put
out of action are blinded and stunned.
In the moment when they are thus
off guard the aggressors leap around
the corner.

British Headquarters, France.-It
was at a bombing school on French
farm where chosen soldiers brought
back from the trenches were being
trained In the use of the anarchists
weapon which has now become as
respectable as the rife. Specialism
develops as the war goes on. There
are no M. B. degrees for Master Bomb
ers yet; but that may come, any day.
Present was the chief instructor, q
young Scotch subaltern with blue
eyes, a pleasant smile and a cock of
the north spirit. He might have been
twenty years old, though he did not
look 1t. On his breast was the purple
and white ribbon of the new order of
the military cross which one gets for
doing something in this war which
would have won a Victoria cross in
one of the little wars.
Also present was the assistant in
structor, a sergeant of regulars-and
very much of a regular-who had
three ribbons which he had won in
previous campaigns. He too had blue
eyes, bland blue eyes. These two un-
derstood each other.
IF you don't drop it, why it's all
right" said the sergeant. "Of course,
if you do"
He did not drop it.
"And when you throw it, you must
lookout and not hit the man behind
and knock the bomb out of your
hand. That has happened before now
to an absent-minded fellow who was
about to toss one at the Boches-and
it does not do to be absent-minded
when you throw bombs"
They say that you sometimes pick
up the German bombs and chuck them
back before they explode" it was
suggested.
Eyes, sir, I've read things like that
in some of the accounts of the report
ers who write from Somewhere in
France. You don't happen to know
where that is, sir? All | can say is
that If you are going to do it you must
be quick about it. / shouldn't advise
delaying your decision, sir, or perhaps
when you reach down to pick it up
neither your hand nor the bomb
would be there. They'd have gone
off together, SIR"
Must Treat Them Right.
"Have you ever been hurt in your
handling of bombs?" one asked. Sur
prise in the bland, blue eyes.
'Oh, no. sir! Bombs are well be-
haved If you treat them right It's
all in being thoughtful and consider
ate of them!"
Meanwhile he was jerking at some
kind of a patent fuse set in a shell of
high explosive.
This is poor kind, sir. It's been
discarded, but l thought that you
might like to see It. Never did like
1t! Always making troubled"
More distance between the audi
ence and the performer.
Now I've got it, sir-get down,

tons to the letter as army regula-

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE
PREPARED TO install
ITS NEW PRESIDENT
DR.. John Henry McCracken's
Inauguration Will Be Occa-
sion of Distinguished
Assembly
AN ELABORATE PROGRAM

EASTON, Pa, oct. 1s.-Lafayette Col
lege is prepared to greet tomorrow after
noon the largest and most distinguished
gathering of guests that has ever visited
the college since its founding in 1882. The
occasion is the Inauguration OF Dr. John
Henry MacCracken as the ninth president
of the college.
The event is notable in educational cir
cles not only because Lafayette is INSTALL
ing a new administrative head. but be-
cause that head Is Doctor MacCracken,
whose family is the most distinguished in
America from the point of view of the
number OF college presidents in 1t. Doc
tor MacCracken's father, Henry Mitchell
MacCracken, D. D.. LII. D., is Chancellor
Emeritus of the New York University,
and only one week ago the brother of the
president-elect of Lafayette was inaugu-
rated to the presidency Of Vassar.
The number of delegates from the vari-
Gus universities and colleges OF the coun-
try and the proportion of presidents of
these institutions who will be delegates
makes II safe to assert that the gather
ing will include the largest number Of
college presidents that has ever been as
sembled in the State of Pennsylvania
one hundred and fifty institutions will
send delegates and half of the delegates
will be presidents.
