FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.
He Task Seems a Hopeless One, Yet
He Sticks to the Job.

He Task Seems a Hopeless One, Yet
He stioks to tho Job.
Every little whue you hear somebody
say: "It isn't the expense I mind. It's
the principle of the thing"
United States treasury officials have
found that the country Is overrun with
persons who feel just that way. Here
IA one case:
Some years ago the crew Of gov
ernment revenue cutter gave an enter
tainment OF some sort, and, according
to custom, assessed the cost OF the
affair among those aboard. Each mans
share was taken from his pay. One
young man was not in sympathy with
some feature of tire entertainment and
objected to having to pay his share. 1t
cost him only 80 cents, but 1t was the
principle of the thing.
He began 10 write to the assistant
secretary Of the treasury, who had
charge of the revenue cutter service,
and demand justice
That was years ago and the man has
averaged about two letters n week ever
since. He numbers his letters, and the
last one was numbered sevenshundred
and something.
Two or three years ago he resigned
from the revenue cutter service and Is
now living In New York. but he Is still
after his 30 cents and tho establish
ment Of great principle.
When Charles Dewey Hilles was an
assistant secretary of the treasury he
sent tho man his personal check for 30
cents In the hope that It would end the
long correspondence, but 1t did not
The man promptly sent back the check,
saying that he did not want the money
but justice, and that the 30 cents must
rome from the government itself.
And so the correspondence goes on
with no sign of ever letting up.-Cin-

BLo0DLESS BATTLES.
One Campaign VI hero a British Army
Did Not Lose a Man.

One Campaign VI Mhero British Army
Did Not Lose a Man.
The battle OF FUttchpOre, one OF -four
fights in eight das. III the midst Of q
forced march of 12G H. les to the relief
of Lucknow was as far as the small
British force Is concerned absolutely
bloodless, and HayelocI's classical "or-
der Of the day" puts the fact on record.
In one Of the battles against Akbar
Khan in Afghanistan the result was
almost equally surprising. 1t was the
punitive expedition Of 1S42 after the
massacre at Kabul and the horrible re-
treat from which only DIR. Brydon es-
capped. This battle made up some
what for the frigltful disaster, for the
victory could not have been more com
plete.
The Afghans were driven headlong
into the river, and camp, baggage, ar
tillery, horses, standards and arms Of
every kind were captured, together
with abundant ammunition and provi-
sions, while Akbar fled. Yet the Brit.
ish only had ten killed.
Probably the only bloodless cam
paign ever undertaken by the British
was the Abyssinian expedition against
King Theodore led by Lord Napier Of
Magdala. 1t was this bloodless war
which gave him his title.
Although the British army consisted
Of 10000 men and although they were
met by the enemy, who put up brave
fight, and although they stormed Mag
dala, situated on cliffs so steep that 1t
was said a cat could not climb them,
yet not life was lost on the British
side.
II the last Ashanti expedition against
King Prempeh could be dignified by
the name OF campaign then 1t must
be added to the list OF bloodless wars
Certainly 1t cost the life Of Prince
Henry Oh Battenberg, the husband Of
Queen victorias youngest daughter
and the father Of the queen Of Spain
but Of other casualties there were none

The entrance of Italy into the
European war can hardly fail to
have considerable effect on the sit
uation. The fighting up to the
present time has been, on the whole,
in favor Of Germany and Austria ,
but the results have not been decisive
enough to get the war out OF the
practical deadlock, which has really
been the state Of affairs for some
months. The coming in OF Italy
with 1000 900 fresh troops must
make the task of Germany more diff
cult and it must bring elation to the
allies.

STANDING TIMBER.
Rule by Which to Figure Out lts Con.
tents In Board Feet.

Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-
tents In Board Feet.
The contents of trees In board feet
is usually figured by Doyles rule. This
rule Is to deduct four inches from the
small diameter OF the log for slab,
squaring one quarter OF the remainder
and multiplying the results by the
length OF the log In feet. For example,
to find the contents of twelve foot
log twenty-four inches In diameter Cfn-
side the bark) at the small end-24
inches minus 4 inches equal 20 inches;
20 inches by Il equal inches; by d
by II equal 800 boa,d feet.
Perhaps an easier way to get at the
same suit is to state the rule as fol-
lows: From a sixteen foot log deduct
four inches for slab and square the
remainder. For longer or shorter logs
the contents would be proportioned to
the length. In the above case 1t would
be worked out thus: "a minus 4 equals
20, 20 by 20 equals 400, for a sixteen
foot log. But twelve foot log Is
twelve-sixteenths or three-quarters as
long as sixteen foot log; therefore
this log contains three quarters of 400
board feet. or 800 board feet II the
log were twenty feet long II would
eontain one and one-quarter times 400
feet, or 600 feet
A common way Of estimating stand
ing timber is to estimate the length
and the top and bottom diameters and
apply Doyle's rule, using the average
Of both diameters and the whole
length of the tree.-Rural New Yorker.

What Is There About This War

This all goes through your mind like flash.
You feel rather nervous but you also feel that in
order to maintain your standing in the commun-
ity as regular fellow who doesn't want trouble
but who won't let anyone pick on him (where it
can be heard by others at any rate) that it IS up
to you to say something. So, you turn and re-
mark:
''Get QUITO the way yourself, you big mutt;
who do you think you re talkin' TOT"
This looks better. The passersby stop. The
other fellow is now up against it, just like you
were; he's got 80 do something to maintain his
own standing. Things begin to happen. You're
in fight. You didn't want fight. You didn't
expect a fight You hadn't had one in years.
But here it is.
What's the answer.
Do you maintain your standing by showing
that you're not afraid to fight if someone picks
on you? Not at ALL

Thing That flakes Crime a Virtue?

lions fight several other millions. 1t is heroic.
And they pin medals on you for doing things
they'd lynch you for if you were settling pr-
vate grievance.
We're not saying this isn't perfectly natural
and correct because, as most people in this world
seem to he willing to fight to prove that nobody
can pick on 'em, war must naturally be biOlogi-
caly accurate. But if war is correct you d think
perhaps, that the custom of legally prohibiting
two men from fighting it out is wrong Both
can't be correct
So, we merely ask as we did at the start, what
kind of business is this war thing, anyway, that
makes what we usually call an offense against
the law, or even crime, suddenly into virtue?
There, is something, somewhere, in the unex-
plored realms of psychology that may explain it,
but, personally, we haven't met the explanation
