Winter is approaching and my some
what scant summer raiment Is but
poorly calculated to protect me from
the chill blasts therefore, what am ]
to do?
But ] submit an idea which occurred
To me while reading al issue of THE

of Warden Osborne would be a snug har-

had in SING Sing. and | th!nk | may
say in all modesty that | can play the
bass drum In a way that will bring
tears of contrition to the most hardened
Sing Singer.
Now what would you suggest? | never

A~RCHIBALD;S ARE
An Inquiry About His C~aptaincy and
Numerous Distinctions.

To II EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Can
any one throw light upon the deriva-
tion and legitimacy OF Captain" j. f.
J. A%rchibald's captaincy? A search OF
the files OF who's Who in America
reveals many details of the remarkable
career and unique distinctions Of the
Captain" but there is nothing about
the status of his military commission
The biography, or presumably autobi-
ography, in the third volume OF that
usually accurate and prosaic work
states That he SERVED In the Chinese
Japanese war;" was vol. aide-de-camp
5th army corps throughout Spanish
war; was first nan rounded in war
with SPAIN" and wounded in battle OF
Pretoria: also that he was Hon. mem.
Am, Red Cross for services IN the feld,'
received Distinguished Service Order
of u. S. A. for bravery in action" Mill
tary order OF Pretoria" Frank OF Man
DARN from Chinese Empire" and that
of "Oficer of Institute du Midi OF
France"
Now that Captain" Archibald hap
pens to be more or less In the public
eye could not the following questions be
answered On what side. and of what
nature, was the service in the Chinese
Japanese war? DO the records of the
Fifth Army Corps contain mention OF
the service noted in who's Who In
America? DO the records of the Red
Cross show the appointment 10 honorary
membership for services In the field ?
In what books OF reference may be
found a description OF tho Military Or
der of Pretoria n the Institute du
Midi Of France7
Does not the Chinese word mandarin
mean merely an official. and would the
Rank Of Mandarin" in China be any
more tangible n position than the rank
of official in h United States, which
might mean anything from the Presi-
dency to rural letter carrier?
What Is the Distinguished Service
order OF the United States OF America
for bravery in what action Mas 1t con-
ferred upon the Captain and when
where and by whom? And Is not James
Francis Jewell Archibald the sole and
only known member of that order, and
therefore, must not he have conferred
upon himself this we'll carmel recogni.
ton OF his bravery?
Since mention of the wound received
at the battle of Pretoria Is omitted
from subsequent editions Of the who's
wound has healed, but are there an,
other survivors OF that battle who evei
heard of the casualty?
And to revert to the original question
can some one throw light upon cap
tain" Archibald's military commission
or is II one that just "growed'?

MIR. John n Ashhy, a farmer OF the

and loaded his wagon with corn with the
intention OF coming 20 jacksonville when

1t has been pointed out as a striking

Meanwhile, the cry for farm labor
was heard in the rural districts this
