Sydney Smith. Wit.

Syonoy SmJtn0 W.T.
Sydney Smith was the ministerial
wit par excellence, but unhappily his
jests were so admirable that they are
now twice told tales indeed. However,
most Of them will bear repetition.
Before the first bishop Of New Zea-
land left England Sydney Smith strove
to remind him of the dangers Of his
mission. "You will find In preaching
to cannibals," he said. "that their at
tention will not be directed to the
spirit, but always be concentrated on
the flesh. for am told that they never
breakfast without a cold missionary
on the sideboard. We shall never meet
again, but let us hope that you may
thoroughly disagree with the savage
who eats you.'
"You are afraid of me-" said Smith
to q young woman who sat beside him
at dinner. "You crumble your bread,
and that is an undeniable proof Of shy
ness. l do it when sit by the bishop
Of London and with both hands when
I sit by the archbishop"
"Why are you doing that" said he
to child who was stroking the shell
Of turtle. "Oh, to please the turtle, =
was the answer. "Why, child, you
might as well stroke the dome Of st.
Paul's to please the dean and chapter. !"

| It Is not often that George Bernard
Shaw is worsted In an argument, but
on one occasion at least he met his
match. He was at dinner party
when young lady guest professed to
be able to read character from writing.

SO happened that their host had Just
got a typewriter, and Mr.. Shaw re-
marked that here at least was one
kind of writing that would reveal

young lady stood by her guns and de-
clared that she could even read char

writing, whereupon the famous dram

Leap Year Warning.

Here is sound leap year advice from
the files Of q pioneer western newspa-
per published half century or more
ago:
"When you are sitting in the parlor
alone with a young lady and she works
her chair close to yours. looks dreamy
and sentimental and sighs as she
raises her eyes to yours, don't get con-
fused and blush and move away. Just
sit right still and chew the corner Of
your handkerchief and wait. You're in
no danger.
"But If she leads you to sofa, sits
down by you. takes your hand in hers.
or, rather, between hers, looks up into
your face with a firm yet resolute ex-
preston and gently whispers it is leap
year and business is business, you had
better prepare to get out Of the way
unless you think SO too"

The Black CAP,

A small, limp piece Of black cloth Is,
according to ancient custom, put on the
top of the Judges wig in England be-
fore he passes sentence of death and
is properly called the sentence cap, -
or "black cap" Covering the head
was a sign Of mourning among the Is
raelites, Greeks, Romans and Anglo
Saxons and is referred to in Samuel II,
$3.50. Putting on the black cap is not
grim sign Of revenge Of the law, but
Is rather token of sorrow, expressing
the regret the Judge feels at having to
condemn the prisoner to death.

WITH OHIO TROOPS
At CAMP WILLIS
(By Special Correspondent.)


With the prospects that all equip
ment needed to properly equip every
regiment of the Ohio infantry for bor
der duty, would reach Camp Willis by
the end of the present week, the in
dications pointed to an early move
mcnt of at least some of the regi-
mcntS.
Major Means, chief mastering Off
Ger and representative of the war de-
partment at the camp, announced
| Wednesday that as fast as the regi-
ments reported ready, that they would
be sent to the border. at don't make
any difference which regiment it is
that reports first. that regiment will
be sent out" said the major.
While many supplies are yet need
ed to equip the men according to the
class G specifications, invoices that
reached the camp Wednesday showed
that all was on the way and coming
| by rush express. Col Duffy, chief
quartermaster, stated today that all
equipment would be in this week, and
| issued to the different regiments and
units before Sunday.
While the men seem pleased over
the report of getting away within
few days, they are dissatisfied because
they have not yet been paid for their
July services. Congress has not yet
appropriated the money to pay the
men, and it will be at least ten days
after this action is taken before the
funds will be available.
More than 200 soldiers who were
granted permission to go home for
"a hours so that they could vote at
the primaries last Tuesday, had not
returned to camp late Wednesday
night. Orders have been issued that
| they be arrested ntheir return and
placed in the guardhouse. Should
they not return within ten days they
viii be charged with desertion, tried
ut a general courtmartial and may
draw sentences to Fort Leavenworth.
Many students are filing applica-
tions for discharges, giving for rea-
son that they must return to their
schools the first of September. The
war department has issued instruc-
tions that all students be released
from service. Each case must go 10
the war department at Washington
before a discharge can be granted.
Many of the men who want to leave
the service are resorting to all kinds
Of tricks in an effort to get out. On
Tuesmday of this week Otis Spellman,
private in the Second regiment, shot
himself in the right foot that he might
be disqualified. He was visiting his
family at Urbana. Officers were sent
to investigate, decided that he had
purposely injured himself and he was
arrested. He will now be charged
with a serious Offense at general
courtmartial and will undoubtedly &c

Rumors were heard around the
camp this week that Washington Off
