DRILLED TO PERFECTION.
Secret Of the Military Success Of "the
Madman of the North.'

From drill man gets accustomed to
doing under any circumstances what
has been hammered into his brain time
after time till 1t becomes second nature
to him.
Charles XII. of Sweden, "the mad
man of the NORTH ripped most Of
Europe up the back again and again
because his soldiers were drilled to
perfection before he let them take the
field at time when there was great
neglect of drill in other armies. He
valued 1000 well drilled fighters above
10000 not so well drilled, and, mailman
or genius, his judgment was indicated
repeatedly In terrible battles.
One night Charles XII was surprised
In Poland by an attacking army of
5000 when his scant force of 600 was
sleeping like the dead from the ex-
haustion of hard march Before his
outposts and sentinels could be driven
In his small band was aroused, mount
ed, formed in battle line-all In pitchy
blackness-and swung into fierce
charge upon the enemy. BY daylight
the Russians and Poles who had
thought to eat him up were virtually
annihilated .-Westminster Gazette.

And He Didn't Go About II In the Reg

In his younger days Sir Bryan Ma.
hon was quite character In the army
and many are the tales that are told OF
his daredevil recklessness and his no
less ready resourcefulness in an emer-
gency.
Once, for instance. lot of horses
had to be unloaded at Ismailia. There
were no boats and there was shortage
of sings, to say nothing of grommets,
breast girths and all the other queer
paraphernalia that disembarking off,
GERS delight In.
But Mahon, who is, of course, a son
Of Erin's isle, had seen horses disem-
barked on the wild Irish coast many
and many a time in rough and ready
fashion, and he knew what they could
do when they had to. SO, while the
others were discussing ways and means
below decks. he simply threw these
horses overheard
The animals promptly swan ashore,
and while the horror stricken disem-
barking officer was looking on aghast,
too surprised even for words, Mahon
ordered the trumpet for stables" to
be sounded, and every horse promptly
lined up on the beach.--London Tele-

CHECK LAW SELDOM ENFORCED.
Federal Statutes Say Issuing of
Check For Less Than One Dollar
Is Illegal.

One of the laws no one seems ever to
have heard OF being enforced is the one
found in the federal statutes under the
title of 'tOfenders against the currency,
coinage ETC., section LIS, criminal code
of the United States"
Under the ;provisions of that section
any person who issues "a check for a less
amount than $1OO lays himself liable to
a fine of $500 and Imprisonment up to
six months i'm "a federal prison. The
practice of issuing checks for such small
amounts is a very common one and is
done dozen times "a day in the business
world.
The section of the federal law reads as
follows:
mo person shall make, issue, ,circu-
late or pay out any note, check, .nemo-
randum, token, or other obligation for
less sum than 81 intended to circulate as
or to be received, or used in lieu
of lawful money of the United States;
and every person so offending shall he
fined not more than $500, or imprisoned
not more than six months, or both"
