NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "Blows His
Own Horn" Is as a General Prin-
cipIe to Be Avoided.

Beware of the person who is eOntin-
ually telling you of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by a heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an Intimate friend, per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof
His desire for effect and his insincer-
ity make him a man to be avoided
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstOne.

caustic Rehuke

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story
Somewhere in the North sea" a GER
tain fl0tilla was ordered to proceed to
sea for gunnery practice. During the
practice heavy fog came on, and the
ship whose turn it was to fire did not
sight the target until within 300 yards
range, She Immediately opened fire,
and blew the target clean out of the
water. The senior officer of the flo
tongue, thereupon made the following
signal to the vessel in question: rs. o.
to captain of -: Why did you not
proceed closer and bite it?''

There was a demonstration in the
camps of the troop and the battery
when the news that they were to go
south was brought to the men. The
soldiers cheered and sang, a battery
man seized an American flag and
started marching down between the
rows of tents. Another grabbed up
a tin pan and beating on it, fell in
behind the standard bearer. Then
other artillerymen followed and there
was a small procession. Everybody
was delighted from the newest re-

was smile on every FACE and as a
trooper expressed it, there was not a
cold foot in either camp.
Friends and relatives of enlisted
men and officers have been at the
camp in large numbers. Mothers,
wives and sisters, took as active an
interest in the plans for leaving as
did the men. They sat in front of
tents sewing on buttons, mending rips,
rubbing out oil spots, adjusting this
and that and everything they could
think of to make the young fellows
comfortable and more neat.
lnfantrymen Are Impatient.
The cheers of the members of
Troop A and Battery A, which fol-
lowed the announcement that they
would entrain early Saturday for the
land of the Rio Grande, rang duly on
the ears of the First brigade, Wis
consin infantry, for they had Just
been told that in all probability none
of the three regiments will leave for
the south before July 5. The infan-
trymen are as anxious as any to be
off.
They will have their chance; that
is given as certain by the guard
authorities. In 1898 the battery did
not get away from the state camp,
but this time they go first and all the
Badger troops will see parts distant
from their home state.
The news that San Antonio, Texas,
has been picked by the federal off,
GERS as the concentration point for the
Wisconsin troops is received by them
with great satisfaction.
Fort Sam Houston is just outside
the city, but it is not expected that
the Wisconsin troops will be quar-
tered at the army post They will be
camped outside on the plains, it is
thought.
Rejected Men Stay at Home.
Men who were rejected by the
United States medical officers will
not be taken south but will be given
honorable discharges for disability
Immediately after being mustered in
to United States service, according to
an order issued by Maj. John G. SAILS
man, assistant adjutant general. This
means that about 10 per cent of the
Wisconsin troops will be sent home.
1t was at first decided to allow the
men rejected by the United States
army test to accompany their COM
mands, and to send them back at
state expense if they failed to stand
| up for service. The men who had
been eliminated were overjoyed when
| they saw another chance to remain
with their companies
The members of the troop and bat
terry will be compelled to sell their
horses, which have been trained for
the service at a sacrifice as a result of
the government order for them to
leave the animals behind and get
younger ones at the border.
The reason given by a veteran
United States army cavalryman is
that the majority of the animals,
while in excellent condition, are older
than the limit allowed in the regular
army. The requirements are: Bay
gelding, 5 to s years old, weight 500
to 1.100 pounds, height fifteen to six
teen hands. 1t will be necessary for
the men to break new horses into the
| drill maneuvers.
The Troop A horses were left in
camp for the use of Troop B. The
sixty-fve recruits for Troop B may not
leave Milwaukee for Camp Douglas
for several days as Troop A took all
the tents when it left for the border
A new supply will have to be secured
before Troop B can be accommodated

When an army body breaks camp
there is no rubbish and waste litter

gathered at the end of each company
street and burned. Privates go about
with baskts and pick up every piece
of paper. Only the worn places in the
grass where tents have stood mark
the camp when the men are gone.

WISDOM CAN COME TOO SOON
Grave Error In Allowing Child to Be-
come Acquainted With knowledge
Of the Worlds Troubles.

Many children are made old In wis
dom and knowledge Of the worlds
troubles ere they are advanced enough
to see and understand the reason of
these crosses, all this trouble and
grief. The consequence, then, is an
embittered, soured life. They have
known no happy childhood's days; all
are sordid, black and unhappy memo
ries of what should have been the hap
piest, brightest years Of their life.
Naturally as such girl grows up
she is old beyond her years. regular
little old woman; and, in consequence
the heart Of a young child is not In
her, the games Of frolic and innocent
youth are not entered into, not en-
Joyed by her. The games Of other
children Of her own age seem frivolous
In her eyes; they are not palatable,
her tastes have grown too old, she Is
constantly with her elders and her am
billions lie In the same direction as
theirs.
II mothers and fathers were wise.
they would encourage their children
to remain as children, not make them
old beyond their years. A Cinderella
In every family Is thing to be de-
plored; there should be no particular
slavery amongst brothers. All the chill
dren Of household should share and
share alike; the plain one should not
be kept in the background because
she Is plain. No one should be con-
sidered the ugly duckling"; provid-
ed they are, they should not be made
to feel or realize this. In fact, any
counterbalancing good quality or tai
ent should be fostered, brought for
ward to make up to such a child.

HAD NO USE FOR MAHOGANY
When First Introduced Into England
Workmen Complained Of the
Hardness Of the Wood.

Like the use Of great many OF the
factors connected with the arts and
the sciences, the discovery Of the beau
ty Of the grain of mahogany for furni-
ture was accidental, says London
contemporary. The story goes that a
certain West Indian captain who had
brought back to England some planks
Of mahogany as ballast, decided to
give the wood to his brother, Doc
tor Gibbons. then building house on
King street, Covent Garden. But the
planks were so hard that the carpen-
tiers objected. and the plan for using
them fell through.
Some time later Mrs. Gibbons want
ed q small box made. and the doctor
sent the mahogany to a cabinetmaker.
In his turn the cabinetmaker objected
to the hardness Of the wood, but the
doctor persisted so much in his re-
quest that the order was finally exc
cuted.
The finished box polished so nicely
that the doctor ordered a bureau made
OF the same wood. The cabinetmaker
displayed that In his shop window be-
fore delivering 1t. The duchess OF
Buckingham saw It and begged enough
wood from the doctor to have 1t dupli-
Gated. and mahogany furniture soon
after came into favor.-Building Age.

LANGUAGES THAT HAVE DIED
ArcheolooIsts Can Tell Us Little Of
Tongues Which for Ages Have
Been Forgotten.

The Oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerian. Baby
lOnian (or Accadian) and the Egyp-
tan. The earliest known inscriptions
belong to about the fifth millennium
B. c., but 1t is reasonable to assume
that these were antedated by many
different languages which had great
antiquity.
The script Of the Sumerian. Baby
lonian Cor Accadian) and Assyrian was
the cuneiform. Chaldean. the language
used generally as the diplomatic Ian
guage about the time Of Belshazzer, is
what we now know as the Aramaic
language. Archaeology has thrown no
light on the subject Of the confusion
Of tongues. Abraham very probably
spoke the Aramafc, the language OF
Aram. In Canaan his descendants ap-
parently used the language Of the land,
which was that of the AmmOniteS.
This is what we now know as Hebrew.
It would seem that the Israelites re-
tanned while In Egypt the language
familiar to them.
Nothing has been discovered which
can be determined as antediluvian.
Babylonian legends mention several
cities as existing before the flood, and
Arabic tradition says Haran was the
first city that was rebuilt after the
deluge, but archaeology has offered no
certain data on the subject.
