ARMENIAN
Injured In A Fall Down A
Stairway

Whether Jacob Joseph, an Armen.
ian vender of knick-knacks, was
pushed down the stairway near the
Neibarger & Fairchild garage Friday
afternoon because he was too insist
ent on disposing of his wares, or
whether he merely stumbled and fell
Is the question Mt. Vernon physic-
ian is trying to settle, as Joseph, af-
ter having his face dressed where the
glass of window had cut it, was
very incoherent in his speech and
seemed in dazed condition.
Residents of the locality seemed to
know nothing of the accident except
that, about 2 o'clock Friday after
noon, they heard a noise in the stair
way and suddenly Joseph alighted on
the sidewalk. His fall had broken a
window and the glass had cut his face
in several places.

def-ID-Chief
(Mansfleld News.)

Elias r. Monfort of Cincinnati.
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has Just ap-
pointed William NJ. Hahn of Mans
field, as. his chief of staff and Mr..
Hahn has signified to the commander
in chief his willingness to accept the
responsible position which is recog-
nized as distinct honor and which
comes to Mr.. Hahn as a result of a
recognition of his ability along those
lines which will be called into action
in connection with the performance
OF the duties of chief of staff to the
national commander
Mr.. Hahn is among the youngest of
Mansfield's Civil war veterans. hav-
ing been born in Cumberland county.
Pa, Nov. "a, 1S4S. The family came
to Ohio in 1852 and Mrs. Hahn's boy
hood days were spent in this vicinity.
1t was while student at DeKalb
seminary that Mr.. Hahn, then mere
boy, enlisted for service in the Civil
war, first as a musician in Co. II. of
the Gath o. V. /. and later going into
active duty as soldier and continu-
ing until wounded at Peachtree
Creek, Ga, in 1864. After spending a
three months furlough at home to re.
cover from the effects of the wound
he was detailed as private orderly to
Brigadier General Harker and was
mustered out of the service at New
Orleans in 1865.
In his capacity as chief of staff to
the commander in chief of the G. A.

bility will rest upon Mr.. Hahn, par
ticularly in connection with the ar

phase of this professional work. "The

FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands Of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport in Britain Are Now at
 the Front.

Waterloo according to the duke of Wellington, was won on the playing fields of Eton. Should Britain emerge triumphant from the present conflict we may find someone rising to claim that the campaign in Flanders was won in the English shires The shires are the headquarters of fox-hunting, which most humanitarians denounce. George Bernard Shaw, for example, has no words strong enough to con- demn it with. MT. Jorrocks, the hero of a sporting novel, describing fox hunting as war without it's guilt and only 25 per cent of it's danger" It has to be admitted, however, that they who follow the hounds have answered magnificently to their country's call.
 There are, it proves, 150 masters of hounds with the British colors, 5000 members of hunts and 1,500 hunt serv- ants. To them must be added the of ficers of the regular army who are ac- customed to ride to hounds, likewise numbering some thousands. The total is an impressive one. It suggests that the real attraction of this sport may be that it is, as Jorrocks said "a sort of war"

Ancient Artisans in Afric,

The question has often been asked. Was there any earlier race in occnn. t1on of the area in Africa at present held by the Bantus? In Man W H Beech reports that in the Kikuyu conn., try some ancient pottery has been said to be the work of a people called Gum ba, who displaced the Miathoachana cannibal dwarfs.
 These Miathoachiana are now he. lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in the art of iron working. Mir. Beech with some amount of plausibility sug. gests that they were possibly bush men, pygmies, or both, and that they were a local indigenous race of the stone age who used flint instruments often found in the Kikuyu country. The Gumba are said to have made pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu the art of smelling. They may have been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but of this there is no evidence and the legend may tend to show that the first discovery of iron was made in Africa.
