err" That is what is being said in ev-
cry Grand Army of the Republic post
in the country.
Colonel Palmer, now commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, talked about it to an interview
Washington making arrangements for
the annual encampment, which opens
Sept. 81, two days before the parade.
The colonel was sought in a hotel.
Come up" he said over the telephone,
and when the interviewer arrived at
the door there was a sturdy, active,
powerful looking man, seemingly about
fifty years old, with pink cheeks and
youthful eyes and general air of well
being about him, waiting at the door.
The bent and broken figure of an old
man who had been lieutenant-colonel
fifty years ago was not in sight.
81 want to see Colonel Palmer" said
the interviewer.
Come in," said the man at the door,
II am Palmer" and he was.
Then came long and satisfying talk
of the grand review of 1865 and the
one to come next September; of the
war, of battles and experiences in
camp; all simply told, without the
slightest attempt at heroics. Only once
did the colonel drop the semihumorous
tone in which, as with a man who new
er grows old, he had talked of himself.
That was when he was asked what
sort of horse he had managed to get
for the grand review in 60
"The horse | rode all through the
campaigns" he said promptly. Jack,
a big bay. l took him as a colt out
of Iowa, and | rode him continually
through to the end of the war. He was
six years old at the time of the review
and he knew what it was all about and
was just as proud of being in it as
any man was.
Gee" said the colonel, breaking off
for a moment and gazing out of the
window, that horse was a peach! He
went through all the fights and was
wounded only once. That was not
very serious wound either, and he
quickly recovered. He wasn't afraid
of anything. You could let off can
non under his nose, and he would new
er bat an eye. He could march to
music like man. Jack was some war
horse"

eyes announcing his identity. The tu-
multi that had greeted Sherman is re-
peated for the western general who
has captured popular imagination. AS
the commander of the Fifteenth and
Seventeenth army corps he rides at
the head of these organizations, which
have the right of the line. Logan and
his staff, too, fall out to take their
places on the reviewing stand.
And now come the foot soldiers, the
fighting men of the Fifteenth corps,
fresh from the march to the sea.
Military men whisper that these first
troops are of the First division of the
corps and that the Third brigade,
brigade made up entirely of Iowa
troops, is in the forefront. And the
first regiment of the brigade is the
Twenty-ffth.
In solid rank, from curb to curb,
marching with magnificent discipline,
in cadenced step, the light glistening
from their FURNISHED muskets, their
shabby uniforms made glorious by the
vitality and atmosphere of power the
men within them radiate, the Iowans
sweep on.
But note their leader. an athletic fig
ure of a young man. "The silver leaf
of a lieutenant colonel? marvels a
diplomat, newly come to Washington.
That's nothing" said one, who knew
more of the army. 1--WE have briga-

"But who is he? He rides like a

"That is Lieutenant Colonel David

VIOLENT DEATHS.
One Indication Is the Immediate Set
ting In of Rieor Mortis.


More than once the question Of
whether person has died natural or
unnatural death turns upon something
grasped in the hand. The object Is
held because the hand stiffens through
what is known as rigor mortis pro-
nounced rye-gor mor-tis), a stiffening
of the muscles of the body after death.
Now, if person dies naturally this
stiffening of the muscles does not take
place, as a rule, until two hours or
more after death, and then it comes OH
slowly. In cases of violent death. how
ever, rigor mOrtis sets In Immediately.
1t is through this that many a MUIR
derer has been caught and many so
called accidental death proved to be in
territorial.
One of the most remarkable effects Of
this sudden stiffening after death ap-
pears in the account of the charge Of
Balaclava. Captain Nolan while riding
at the head Of the noble six hundred
had his chest torn open by a Russian

The arm he was waving in the air at

hands of the victim, while bodies re-
covered from the water have brought
with them clutched in their fingers
weeds and mud from the bottom, show
ing that death occurred in the water
and not on land.-London Answers.

FLEETEST OF ALL DOGS.
Greyhounds Can Run as Fast as Car

Greyhounds Can Run as Fast as Car
rier Pigeons Can Fly.
Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are ca
pable. The wolf can run between fifty
and sixty miles in one night, and the
arctic fox can do quite as well, if not
better. Nansen met one of these foxes
on the ice at a point more than seven
ty miles northwest of the Sannikow
territory, which is $50 miles from the
Asiatic coast Eskimo and Siberian
dogs can travel forty-ive miles on the
ice in five hours, and there is one case
on record in which team of Eskimo
dogs Travelled six and one-half miles
in twenty-eight minutes.
English settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles
an hour, and they can maintain the
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift, as is
proved by the fact that dog of this
breed once beat thoroughbred horse,
covering four miles in six and one
half minutes. Greyhounds are the
swiftest of all four footed creatures,
and their speed may be regarded as
equal to that of carrier pigeons. Eng
fish greyhounds which are carefully
selected and which are used for cours-
ing are able to cover at full gallop
space between eighteen and twenty
three yards every second. 1t Is said
that hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of eight
cen yards a second. These interest
ing statistics fully prove the right of
the greyhounds to rank as the swiftest
of the quadrupeds.-S Springfield Repub-
lican.

Il. 3. PRATT, CHIEF OF COMMERCE BUREAU.
II. Arnold, commercial attache at
Picking, and DR.. e. e. Pratt, chief Of
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. Mr.. Reinsch brought to
Washington program framed by him
self and Mr.. Arnold, which was sub
United to DR.. Pratt, Secretary Lansing
and other officials.
1t was generally Endorsed, and the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce already has begun work along
the lines suggested. Mr.. Arnold will
return to the United States this winter
and tour the country to get capital for
investment in China.
State department officials have been
watching commercial conditions in
China since the recent granting of ex-
tensive special privileges demanded
by Japan. No political steps have been
taken to secure concessions or privi-
leges for Americans, however, and the
policy of the government has been
steadfastly against commercial poll
tics such as other nations have en-
ployed in China. The plan now pro-
posed is expected to develop an Ameri-
can interest there which will be pow
erful enough to meet the competition
of other nations.
DIR. Pratt pointed out today that
American capital was piling up as a
result of the European war, and that
vast sums of idle money are available
for Investment. The bureau expects to
fake advantage of every opportunity
now offered in China and to have an
American interest strongly intrenched
there at the close of the war.
DIR Pratt issued q summary of the
Chinese trade situation which stated In
part:
