SEVENTH CAVALRY
WANTS FLAG BACK
BELIEVE MEXICAN TROUBLE OF.
FERs OPPORTUNITY TO RE-
COVER LOST EMBLEM.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 1.-That
the brilliant work of the United
States Seventh Cavalry, now In Mex
leo in pursuit of villa, may result in
the regiment having restored to 1t
its right to a regimental flag is more
than probable, inasmuch as the mem
bers Of the regiment to a man en-
tered Mexico with such an end in
view. According to First Lieut.. and
Acting Capt. T, H. Brown, Of Troop
M, of the regiment, all It's officers
and men crossed the boundary deter
mined to perform such signal SER
vices as will bring about restora-
tion of the flag which has been de-
MED the regiment since its annihila-
tion in Gen. Clusters last fight,when
its flag was lost. The information
comes in letter to Capt. Browns
brother, F. M. Brown, of this city.
To have this flag restored, this
regiment must conquer foe, or do
some signally brilliant service. 1t is
said here that the Seventh is the only
regiment in the service without a
flag. The Seventh, under Col. Dodd,
was in the Philippines until two
months ago and was then transferred
to Douglas, Ariz., and from Douglas
via Columbus entered Mexico along
with the Tenth negro cavalry. The
men were forty-eight hours in the
saddle, the first two days out, and
their determination to capture Villa
is an Inspiration. 1t is said that
when its band plays Clusters Last
Fight" the men of the regiment al
ways rise in a frenzy of cheering.

HOUSE WITH CANNON
TO keep OUT WOMEN
NONE OF THE FEMALE SEX HAS
SEEN INSIDE OF NYGREN'S
PALACE SINCE ERECTED.

Oakland, Cal.-A house. the inter-
ior of which no woman has ever
seen. For seventeen years, or ever
since It was erected. its doors have
been closed to womankind. 1t rises
to a height of four stories, and can
non stick out from the concrete foun-
dation. giving 1t the appearance of a
fortress. 1t is occupied by con-
firmed bachelor, who says: Get mar
ried? l guess mott" Such is the
house located at No. 1853 Brookdale
avenue, and owned, occupied and
conducted by e. A. Nygren. an ex-
soldier.
Since 1899 Nygren has dwelt alone
in his eccentric lodge, sleeping at
night in the topmost turret. like a
minute man prepared for any emer-
gency. His house is built after the
manner Of a Moorish fort. From
the concrete base fourteen six-inch
cannons bristle out in defiance to the
would-be despoiler of homes. Resting
on top of this base is a smaller cir
'cular story, on top of this another,
and the whole structure is topped by
a little watch tower. In the yard q
fountain plays over bellicose-look-
ing medieval turret. and even the
tankhouse takes on the aspect of
watchful waiting. with two big eyes
cut through the top story.
"It's just a fancy of mine," ex-
planned Nygren. Besides, l get
more air and sunshine with the house
built like this. I'd like to sell. It's
too expensive place for a bachelor.
The birds are building nests in my
cannons and the place is running
down. Get married? l guess not.
When a fellow gets as old as am
and has little money saved up. he
grows suspicious of all the women" "
Nygren is a philosopher. His ia
vorites are Fischte and Descartes,
They're both egoists like me-" he
said. "I'm an egoist."
Nygren is also an author. In the
evening he locks himself in his tow
er and pens his ideas into a huge
book, which he calls "The Millen-
MUM" In this he has rearranged
society into one great nation. with
one language, organized Industrial
ly and governed along military lines.
Men are to work but two hours day
and Chicago is to be the industrial
capital Of the United States.

The Mail.Order House.

How dear to my heart are the scenes
of my childhood
When fond recollection present
them to view
The church and the store, and the
school in the wildwood
And all the loved spots that my
infancy knew.
Last summer wandered again to
the village,
But found not a neighbor of old,
or his spouse:
The streets were deserted, the
farms needed tillage-
The town had been killed by the
maid order house;
The village had vanished when
merchants were banished,
The town has been killed by the
mail order house.
rabbit,
I found, and asked why the village
was dead:
"The town got the mail-order
habit,
And that was what killed it for
ever" he said.
''It was not a war, epidemic, or
pillage,
No. foeman's invasion or robbers
carouse:
The money that should have de-
veloped the village
Was all sent to the mail-order
house
The money we earned here-never
returned here,
When it was sent to the mail-order
house."

Just Enoughness.

"Know we'll what the people in
articulately feel for the Law of Heav-
en- is written there"-Carlyle.
I heard another scrap of street
wisdom this morning. Piercing the
roar of the clattering elevated train,
1t came to me in pleasant baritone.
Two men occupied one of the cross
seats. Ruddy-faced. clear-eyed men
they were, well dressed, all their
faculties trained upon the business
day before them, as guns upon an
enemy. Having read their favorite
morning papers, they were chatting
of mans qualifications for a post
that might be rendered him.
One of them finished the recital
of his qualifications with this: "He
is master in handling men. What
ever he does. he does Just enough" :"
They got off at the next station,
but the echo of their words remained
He "does just enough" There is
the art of management of mortals,
there is tact in phrase. There is a
fine art of just enoughness.
1t is one Of the secrets of success
full acting. An actor plays a scene
with too much emphasis and he is
written down by the critics as rant
er. II he plays 1t with no little
earnestness his performance is catal-
ouged as colorless. If he plays 1t
with just enough of fire. just enough
of delicate grace, he gives what all
will agree is well-balanced and
artistic rendering.
The master of painting will blend
his colors so that there is Just enough
of shade. If he is too lavish with his
colors 1t will be said of him that his
style is too fiorid and some will be
bold enough to call him dauber. II
there is not enough of color, his pic
ture will be derided because its tints
are too pale and 1t will be asserted
that, his colors are no weaker than his
art
The musician must sing with just
enough force. II too much, his meth
cd will be rated as explosive. II too
little, his style will be described as
anaemic. his notes blurred. 1t is
what constitutes artistry. this just
enoughness.
II it constitutes artistry in the
arts it means In business. as my
neighbors. the business men, said,
mastery of the handling Of men,"
and women.
The good conversationalist is the
one who talks just enough. He must
not sweep his listeners away on the
tide of his oratory unless he occupies
platform and they are there to
listen. At dinner table or during
an evening call he Is a bore. For
conversation IL like handball. q game

Of give and take, and there should be
as much taking as giving.
The good hostess is one who gives
you just enough attention. II she
presses her society upon you con-
stantly, you wish you hadn't come to
her party. II she has no eyes for
you, you feel neglected, Truly, Just
enoughness is another term for tact,
So In the art of comforting, There
are comforters foreordained for their
work Of solace. There are those who,
by their presence and efforts, double
our grief. The obtrusive comforter
is pest. The person who gives too
little Of sympathy is human glacier.
know a woman who was plunged
into Mysteries by the letters of con-
dolence she received.
$50 many of them tell me what a
world of woe this is," she said be-
tween gasps of hysterical laughter
and a downpour of tears. "As
though I didn't know 1t. Can't any
one soothe or strengthen me?"
Granted that 1t is a difficult art to
write letter of consolation. But
two elements may be present in any
such letter, the note that you are
personally sorry that the affliction
has befallen the one who receives the
letter, and some assurance of what
that person has been to and done for
the departed. Too much sympathy
weakens, too little chills.
Just enough" is worthy motto.
They who adopt it will always have
friends and welcome and success.

by Mrs. Tweedale and. their son.

Mr.. Tweedale, who O Few years
' ago attracted attention by reports OF
psychical phenomena at the Weston
1 vicarage, told the correspondent OF
the Yorkshire Post that on Decem-
beri 20 last his wife, their son and
himself were at luncheon, when sud
denly his wife cried out that she
, saw the apparition of a man with a
full head of hair and. beard standing
at the other side of the table, to the
left of their son.
Mrs. Tweedale directed attention
to the figure, but neither the father
nor his son could distinguish 1t.
Telling his wife to keep 1t there, al
tho on reflection he admits he does
not know how Mrs. Tweedale could
compel the figure to remain, he got
his camera, which was loaded with
quarter-plate slides.
The vicar then placed the camera
on a window sill and focused 1t up
the room. the distance between the
camera and the position where his
wife said she still saw the figure be-
ing about three and one-half yards.
The light not being favorable for an
interior picture, he gave an exposure
of 20 seconds. Mrs. Tweedale de-
scribed the figure as that of little
man and said the top of his head ap-
peared to be about on level with
her sons shoulder.
Mrs. Tweedale and the boy sat at
the table while the plate was being
exposed. The resultant negative ap-
pears to have corroborated Mrs.
Tweedale's vision. Mr.. Tweedale ex-
planned that he personally develop
ed the plate shortly afterward and
1t had not left his possession.
The negative is quarter-plate size
and reproduces the corner of the
room. In the foreground is the din
ing table, the white cloth of which
reflects the light into the corner. Sit
ting at the table is Mr.. Tweedale's
son and opposite him there is a shad-
owy but distinct impression of the
head and shoulders of little old
man, with abundant hair and flowing
beard.
The figure, which appears to be
in semi-recumbent position, almost
hides that part of the furniture and
a piano which lies behind 1t, and
this, in Mr.. Tweedale's opinion, con-
clusively proves that the apparition
had definite objectivity, altho invis-
ible to the normal vision of himself
and his son.
In response to the suggestion that
the camera may have played a trick
upon him, the vicar said he had
carefully examined conditions as they
were at the time. The camera is In
perfect order. No person of similar
appearance ever had been photo
graphed by him and none Of the fam
lily recognized the figure disclosed
on the negative. His wife, he said.
clairvoyantly saw the figure which
she described. and upon the sensi-
tive plate being exposed figure was
disclosed and was recognized by Mrs.
Tweedale as being like the man she
saw.--London Cor. Chicago Herald.

CONTRACTORS
ADD CARRIERS

At a conference OF the Board OF
Health officials and J. r. Martin, Of
the Wilmington Sanitary Company
this morning, it was agreed that mas
much as the number of complaints OF
the non-collection of garbage here had
fallen off considerably during the
past week, TIE four complaints wagons
placed in the service by the health
board should be withdrawn. This
was agreed upon after Mr.. Martin eX-
planned that his company had placed
in service an automobile collection
truck and several additional wagons.
Following the thousands of COM
plaints received several weeks ago.
the Board of Health placed the four
complaint wagons on the streets. and,
as result. hundreds Of complaints
we're attended TO by the city, the sum
of fifty cents being deducted from the
monthly appropriation of the
Sanitary Company for each collection
made by these wagons.
Il was said at the board Offices this
morning that the number OF COM
plants had fallen TO few dozen to-
day.
Following the conference it was said
I that in case the number Of COM
plaints on the non-collection oi
garbage should become numerous
again, the city complaint wagons viii
be placed in service.

they should do so. as long as the presi-
