The Stoker In Battle.

In the modern battleshlp, as is well
known, the stoker, like the onrsman Of
ancient Roman galley, has his work
all below deck. The seafight RACES
above him, and he can rarely II ever
see battle. One of the stories con-
nected with the battle of Jutland H.
lustrates the stolid character of the
British stokers. A chance was given
two of these during the fight to come
from below. They were on the War.
spite. which was heavily engaged. One
of them was telling a domestic story
to the other us they went up to the
deck. At the hottest moment Of the
fight their grimy heads appeared ut the
top of the hatch round which splinters
of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish din the impassive voice Of the
storytelling stoker was heard, as calm
as though Mt 'pub" over a mug of
ale. saying. II always thought e ort
to ave married 'er."

SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS
African Slave Trade Was Once Open.
iy Tolerated by the British
Government.

Slavery existed in nearly all Of the
English colonies from IN early Pc
riod until shortly before or soon af-
ter the Revolutionary war, and the
African slave trade was openly tol-
Grated by the British government. In
1856 there were $4,000 African
slaves in the colonies, scattered from
New England to Georgia. 1t was not
prohibited in Massachusetts until
1850, nor in Vermont until 1777. The
United States census of 1910 showed
80 slaves in Connecticut, 1O,S51 in
New Jersey. 15,O17 in New York. 795
in Pennsylvania, and 10S in Rhode
Island. Slavery was gradually alb
olished in the northern states. but
In 1920 there were still OF slaves In
Connecticut, 1857 in New Jersey,
10,0SS In New York, 211 in Pennsyl-
vania, and 4S In Rhode Island. The
census of 1850 showed the disappear
ance of slavery In all the northern
states except New Jersey. which still
had n surviving remnant of 236.

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 113
Frenohmen Trick the Defenders of a
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One Of the most striking episodes
Of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at Bi-
aches and its garrison OF 113 men
by French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
had been checked by murderous ma
chine-gun fire until n French officer
discovered vulnerable point. Se-
lecting n second lieutenant, two SER
geants, corporal and four men, he
led them on hands and knees through
the long grass to the spot where he
knew there was breach In the de-
fenses. Then three of the French Of.
ficers abruptly leaped into the work
shouting in stentorian tones, "For'
ward with the bayonet!" and throw.
ing bombs which exploded in the
dugout.
The Germans, believing large
force was with the Frenchmen, had
no time to get their weapons and sur
rendered. But now the three French
captors began to feel nervous, MS
they saw no reason why the Germans
should not fall upon them and ex
terminate them. They were saved
by the six comrades, who came rush
ing in just at this moment. Again
fooled, the entire German garrison
was marched to the French rear
escorted by the nine ''poilus." who had
not lost a man.

colIealans to Leave state Guard.

It's back to the schoolroom for the

Sept. 1 and mustered out as soon as
possible. Following the mastering

Denver.-"Another week or ten
days Of earnest drill and the Colorado
national guard will be in shape to go
to the border" said Gen. Thomas
Barry, commanding officer of the CEN
tral department, who inspected the
state militia at the camp at Golden.
Although Gen. Barry's report will not
be final, 1t will probably have much
to do with setting date Of departure
for the Colorado troops in case the
War Department decides to send
them.
For several hours Gen. Barry, ac-
companied by his aide-de-camp, Capt.
Roger Fitch, inspected the various de-
tachments at their daily work. No
drill was held, and no review partici.
pated in, but no detail Of the camp
organization and equipment was over.
looked in the tour of the quarters.
Gen. Barry spent much Of his time in
talking with the men, getting opin.
ions from the privates themselves as
to how they liked the service.
Company F of the infantry received
much praise when the army officers
watched it in the daily drill on the
camp review grounds. "a mighty we'll
drilled company" was the opinion of
Gen. Barry.
"The troops at the Colorado Mobiliz-
alton camp will compare we'll with
those at any state camp. They are a
fine body of men and their horses are
as good, If not better, than any horses
already sent with the state troops to
the border. Your camp veterinarians
have done wonders in restoring them
to health" stated Gen. Barry as he
left the camp.
Gen. Barry said that in all prob
ability any future mobilization OF
state troops would take place at Fort
Logan, the United States army post
here, instead of at the Golden rifle
range. Troops could then march out
to the range for their target prac-
tice.

lars in Pennies Dipped in Molasses
The Cripple Greek Times and Vic
tor Record tells the story of a rather
unusual method of paying alimony.
Mrs. Minnie Gleason Seaman of 30
South 7th st. Victor was the recipient
of a strange looking package one day
recently, when an express wagon
halted in front of her home and left
a big granite dish pan. Mrs. Scan
Ian upon investigating the queer
looking package found it to contain
her monthly alimony from her one
time spouse. Thomas Seaman, who
to make sure the 4,50O pennies which
we're in the dish pan would not jar
out and get lost in transit had glued
them safely together with a gallon
of sorghum molasses.
Mrs. Scanlan was required to
spend three hours and forty minutes
of pains-taking labor to separate the
pennies from the sorghum. She in
formed her attorney of the circum-
stance. who had Scanlan cited into
court to show why he did not pay the
alimony in legal tender.
Mr.. Seaman, it is said. has on many
occasions offered to send a draft or
money order for the amount each
month. provided Mrs. Seaman would
stop annoying him. He says she
SANDERS him openly at every oppor-
and that as long as she con
tinues this practice he intends to get
little satisfaction himself. 1t is
said that Mr.. Seaman has never
failed to pay his wife alimony since
they were separated.

A wife is an ex-girl who has realized
her greatest ambitions-the capture
of a man. and who has settled down
to show him that women's clubs, pink
teas and gowns are absolute necessl-
ties. while three square meals a day
are anything else than that. When
a wife takes a man to raise he soon
learns that she is his master. She
doesn'ttell him 50: he Just mysterious
" abSorbs the information and the
older he grows the more established
the fact roots itself in his mind.
Almost any man is brave enough to
go to war: he will fight a man twice
his size: but a mere look from his
wife will wilt him like lettuce leaves
on a hot stove. No one knows why.
Wives are peculiar animals in a way
that those belonging to other men
always look better to a man than his
own, and that while a man feels it is
a terrible task to support one, he
would have a dozen if it were not
for our laws. 1t is said that a man
once took his pew born son TO an
island and reared him to manhood
without the child ever seeing a wo-
