she had no home and was therefore
unable to care for her children. induc-
ed the local authorities to admit them
to an orphan asylum. The man, u
widower. pleading he had no house

for his children. induced the authori-
ties to admit his six also. Thereupon.

these two married.
All went well for few months,
when the authorities. learning of the
situation, promptly dispatched the
twelve children back to their parents.
and. the woman no longer able to rep
resent herself as homeless or the man
as without housekeeper. they were
forced to receive them.

MILITARY COWARDICE.
A Sample of Its Punishment During the
Thirty Years. War.

A Sample of Its Punishment During the
Thirty Years War.
Punishment for cowardice in the
German army at the time of the Thir-
ty Years war was so severe as to be
ferocious. In the year 1912 the Swed-
ish General Torstensson stormed Leip-
zig. A force under the command Of
the Grand Duke Leopold gave him bat
tie before the gates of the city, but
during the engagement the MadlO-
nische regiment became suddenly pam
ic stricken and fed.
Punishment Immediately followed.
When the regiment had again assem-
bled six other regiments surrounded
it and tried it by court martial in the
open field. The verdict was that the
colonel and the captains should die by
the sword and that every tenth man
among the noncommissioned officers
and men should be hanged.
The stern verdict was carried out to
the letter, except that at the request
Of Leopold the men were shot instead
of hanged. Colonel George Madlo-
nische was beheaded after he had
sought in vain for pardon. The sur
vivors were consigned to quarters with
other commands. and the regiment nev-
er regained its name or former pres
tige. In those days there was no alter
native but to be brave Cowardice
meant either death or everlasting dis
grace.-Youth's Companion.

BrideSman Is
Correct Word

Weak, gasping and wide-eyed was
the society editor of the Tidings
when, upon returning home from a
short holiday trip, he found that his
vocabulary was cutting a meteoric
swath among the elite of the city.
Never has he been elevated to such
a place of prominence, and that
heightened by the worthy discussion
in another local paper, a discussion
which would well do credit to a
juvenile moot court held in a back
alley on frosty morning. The dis
cussion was headed Was Monte
Briggs 'Bridesman' or Not?" If ad-
herence to Webster's or some other
dictionary of note had been held the
discussion would never have ap-
peared, but nevertheless the item
was extremely humorous and was a
very capable one.
Fraternal bonds have not been
broken as a result OF brother calling
brother "bridesman," for when the
real facts of the case were presented
sheepishness instead of anger was the
result.
Webster's International Dictionary
gives the definition of bridesman as
follows: "A male friend who attends
upon bride and bridegroom at their
marriage; the best man." We give
this definition in order to stop the
loquacious discussion running rife in
the social whirl, and to give our
readers the correct and proper usage
and also to squelch our rival lexicog-
rapher.

She Wanted Her Money Before She

She Wanted Her Money Before She
Sang, and She Got II.
One OF Adelina PATHS peculiarities
was that she never sang a note until
she had her salary either paid or so
fully assured that there was no doubt
as to her getting it. When she sang
at the Academy of Music. in New
York. at one time the manager was
sorely put about to find money to pay
her. but she always stoutly refused to
sing until she had her salary.
One night at quarter past 8 her
representative went to him and said:
Madam Is all dressed except her
shoes. She will put those on when
she gets the money"
The manager. half distracted. rushed
about the house and succeeded in rails
ing one-half the amount due the prima
donna. which he hastily sent to her.
But another quarter of an hour passed.
and. though the audience showed great
impatience. there was no Patti, where
at the manager ran to her room.
"My dear madam. why do you not
go on? | have sent you half the mon
ey. and the rest will reach you before
the end of the first act"
Patti smiled dolefuly, exhibited the
tips Of her feet and said: "You see.
have only ce shoe on. cannot go on
the stage without the other. 1t would
be quite impossible"
Almost crazed. the manager rushed
out and discovered that the other half
Of the money could be raised.-New

BUILDING OF PETRoGRAD.
Peter the Greats Ruthless Methods In
Erecting the Capital.

Peter the Greats Ruthless Methods In
Erecting the Capital.
Most disadvantageously situated Of
all the capitals Of Europe-indeed, OF
the world-Petrograd is monument
of the pride and energy Of Peter the
Great. He wanted Il European capi-
tai in order to signalize and immor-
talize his conquests. In 1903, when
the first foundations of the city were
laid ON the marshy island on the delta
of the Neva, at the eastern end OF the
gulf of Finland. the surrounding ter
ritory had even then not been entirely
conquered.
Peter went TO work with his usual
energy and with his usual ruthless
ness to create capital in what was
worse than a desert. He himself su'
perintended the building Of the city
and gave the directions Of the details
to half dozen lieutenants. The work
was pushed with almost incredible
rapidity, SO that by 1Tl2 sufficient ad-
vance had been made to permit the
transfer Of the imperial family from
Moscow.
One measure ordered by Peter was
that thousands of peasants must set
tie in or near the new capital. A spe-
cial tax was put on his empire to
meet the expenses of building the city.
Such a small difficulty as the scarcity
of masons was nothing to man like
Peter the Great. He simply forbade
the erection of stone buildings any
where else in the empire until PetrO-
grad was tinished.-New York Times.
