Are There Private Armies7

1t is illegal to have an army Of your
own, but the law winks at private
armies in one or two cases.
The duke of Atholl had-for they
have now gone to the great war-a pri-
vate army of 200 men, and has often
provided guards Of honor for King
George from their ranks. In fact,
Queen Victoria once reviewed this prt.
vate army. The duke Of Atholl's pro-
vate army is for its size the finest body
of soldiers in the world, all over six
feet in height, sturdy Scotsmen picked
from the fttest Of the fit.
The duke OF Fife also kept a pri-
vate army which numbered a hundred
men, who were armed with huge pixies
exactly as the soldiers were armed
centuries ago.
The Stuart Archers and the Farqu-
harson Clansmen are two other private
armies Of which Scotland can boast
The %marquises Of Donegal, too, have
for hundreds Of years kept a private
army.-Pearson's.

Watching the Seals.

Visitors at the Aquarium never tire of watching the harbor seals, and one thing that pleases them particularly is to see the seals fall of their table when they go to sleep. In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are just above the water, on which the seals climb out to sleep or to rest. And some times one or another of the seals will climb out of the water to one of those tables and lie there on it. maybe close along the edge of one side and per haps with it's head and forward part of Its body hanging over the edge of the table in front, apparently all the time in imminent danger of rolling on the table at the side or of pitching off head first into the water in front. And when a seal lies on table like that. sleeping or dozing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall of. He won't hurt himself when he does fall. he will sim- ply fall of into the water; but old and young men. women and children. will stand there with keen interest silent ly watching and waiting for that seal to fall. And if they stay long enough, as they are pretty sure to do, they are rewarded.-New York Times.

ONE GOOD TRAIT RECALLED
Unpopular Man Not Altogether With out the Attributes That En-
 deared Him to Society.

An Indiana town in the old days boasted of two characters-an official mean man who never did a good deed if it was possible to do a mean one, and an official optimist who had never been heard to speak an evil word of any human.
 In the fullness of time the bad man died. On the day of the funeral the usual crowd gathered at the post of flee to await the distribution of mail Naturally the life and works of the late unlamented came under discus cion.
 The deceased was painted as a miser. liar, a thief, a scandal monger and a blackmailer. The op- timist, who was present, listened in silence. At length one of the group turned on him.
 Say, Cid demanded the other man, "ain't everything we've said about that old scoundrel the truth? Kin you name one deservin' trait he ever showed?"
 Well" said the optimist, you boys'll have to admit he certainly had a mighty good appetite. Saturday Evening Post

WONDERFUL HOW QUICKLY
 RESlNOL STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years the itching torments of eczema or other such skin-eruptions. the relief that the first use of resinol ointment and resinol soap gives is perfectly incredi- ble. After all the suffering they went through and all the useless treatments they spent good money for, they cannot believe anything so simple mild and inexpensive can stop the itching and burning INSTANTLY! And they find it still more wonderful that the improvement is permanent and that resinol really drives away the eruption completely in a very short time. Perhaps there is a pleas ant surprise like this in store for you. Resinol ointment and resinol soap are sold by all druggists.-Adv.

Boy-Ed, Ger man naval attache, with headquar ters at the uerman embassy in Wash ington, played a leading role, accord ing to testimony in federal court here, in the alleged conspiracy of several Hamburg American Steam ship Line officials to defraud the United States by sending neutral re. lief ships with coal and other supplies to German warships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the beginning of the European war.
 One witness swore that Capt. Boy Ed personally directed the expendi ture of approximately s750,00O, which unsolicited and unexpected, had been deposited to the witness credit in a New York bank early in September 1914. Of this money. the witness said $350,000 was telegraphed to the Neva da National Bank at San Francisco in one lump sum; $213.000 was paid. in several amounts, to the North Ger man-Lloyd Steamship Line here; about S75,000 to the Hamburg-Ameri can Line here, and by cable money order in Hamburg and some of the remainder still was on hand. All oi these disbursements, this witness as serted, were made by order of Capt Boy-Ed.

George Kotter and Joseph Poppinghaus. al officials of the Hamburg American Line, charged with conspiracy in di recting the loading and dispatching of 16 vessels to the relief of half dozen or more German warships.
 The testimony, which virtually open ed the government case. followed 8 short address to the jury by Roger B Wood, assistant United States district attorney, in which Mir. Wood said that the government would show that the defendants rode roughshod over thc laws and treaties of the United States as contemptuously as if those laws and treaties had been mere scraps oi paper"
