Famous Regiments

Germany has regiments as cele-
brated as the Black Watch of Scot
land, the Lancers, Of England, and
the Foreign Legion, of France, and
several of these have been winning
new martial distinction in the terrific
fighting around Verdun. A CONT
mental writer has been comparing
victory by the French over the Bran
denburg regiments of the Kaiser,
with such a victory as the overthrow
of Napolean's Imperial Guard after
it had fought at Austerlitz, Marengo
and Friedland. In the history of
Germany the Brandenburg regiments
have written many brilliant pages,
and the other day one of those regi-
ments almost sacrificed itself in
storming the fortress of Douaumont.
The tribe of Spartan soldiers started
long ago in the Mark of Brandon
burg, and it's traditions now trace
back to all parts Of the empire, where,
by hard toll, such workmanship as
Dumas glorifes in his "Three
Musketeers," and unfailing resource
fitness of both strategy and bravery,
the Brandenburgers in good time es-
tablished themselves. The regiment
of infantry which fought at Douou-
mont is named for the son-in-law of
the famous Queen Louise of Prussia,
and its honorary commander is a
brother-in-law of the German crown
prince. The home garrison is close
to the castle where Frederick the
Great lived as crown prince, and
where he began his curious CORE
spondence with Voltaire. Another of
the infantry regiments has as its
honorary chieftainess the Duchess of
Connaught, now with the enemies of
the Kaiser The first regiment of
Uhlans is named for Gar Alexander
II, and a regiment of Cuirassiers for
Nicholas 1. Rarest of Brandenburg
honors in recent years is the nam
ing of Brandenburg Uhlan regiment
for man of nonroyal blood, Field
Marshall Won Haeseler, who now is
past 80, and has been the confidential
adviser of the crown prince at Yer
dun. Strange stories are told about
him, that science has remedied the
loss of one lung and that he wears
a kneecap of gold; however, wound
half a century ago did twist one Of
his ribs. These Brandenburgers are
among the most redoubtable fighters
in the German army and they have
great reputation to sustain. They
are as little accustomed to defeat as
was the Old Guard itself.-Boston
Herald.

Love

Our good friend, L. A. Cooper, of
San Sab0, has asked us to reprint our
definition of love, and we do it with
pleasure. This definition was printed
number of years ago and has
Travelled far, on valentines, and has
been beautifully printed for framing
by w. o. Graham, 210 East Eleventh
street, Kansas City, who write us
that it has sold by the thousands. We,
ourselves, think it is a ''tollable
good" definition:
Loves a bunch of swaying daisies,
bound around with ribbon blue;
Loves a peep-hole into Heaven, with
you, tiptoe, looking through;
Loves jar of milk and honey, in a
fair enchanted cline,
You can drink from it forever and be
thirsty all the time.

Ridgewood is famous, will be better
than ever. There will be some ex-
tremely large pieces of aerial work
which are entirely new. An attempt
will be made to give realistic idea
of a battle with airships sailing over
head and with boom Of cannons and
rattle of musketry below. 1t will be
by all odds the best fireworks exhibit
ton Ridgewood has ever given.
Following the fireworks dance,
led by the band, will be held on one
of the man thoroughfares Of the

Notes on the Game

The prison officials are very con-
siderate, yet firm with all visiting
teams. They are questioned closely
about how many players are along,
told they must not talk in the halls
going through, and must remain in
the waiting room till the game was
ready to start-that is, till they were
ready to dress for the game. Charles
Logan was given a pass for fourteen,
all players, and finally, about three
thirty, and while the rain was slow
ing up, the crowd was escorted to
the large room in the basement of
the main building, where shower
baths were numerous.
There are no signs of prison life
to the visitor at Sing Sing to-day,
so far as the dress of the inmates is
concerned. The men all wear civilian
dress, and some had on watch fobs,
others wore watches and chains,
their clothes being neat and clean.
Caps of light material for summer
use are the only evidences of uni
forms, and these vary in shape and
color. There were no remarks"
passed to the visitors, as one would
look for from great crowd of
criminals. Instead, they were decor
Gus to degree, and seemed to re-
gard the Palisade boys with a con-
sideration due to important person
ages.
Once in the dressing room, the
manager of the Welfare players came
up and introduced himself in a very
gentlemanly manner, told the Pail
sadians they must feel Eat home,"
ETC., rather witty suggestion, though
not in the least intended as such.
Many of the prisoners did not hest
tate to tell how they got in, and some
of their admissions were pitable in

Don't you hear the negro across
the fields out yonder singing as he
follows the cotton planter?
Doesn't the old swimming hole and
the minnow branch lure you back?
Can't you see the old creek, run
ming lazily as ever past the mudcat
hole where the moccasin is just be-
ginning to crawl out in the middle
of the day to sun?
Isn't there in your minds eye the
picture of a shady spot, the grass
growing long even this early, where
it would do your soul good to lie and
listen to the spring sounds with never
a thought of yesterday or tomorrow?
Doesn't the city seem pretty crowd
ed-the days task pretty sordid-life
pretty monotonous?
Aren't you inclined to catch your
self looking off into space, your
thoughts thousand miles away,
while sub-consciously you are Won
dering what all the hustle and hurry's
about and whether or not it's all
worth while?
If not, you were not raised in the

the really good things of life.-Jack-

Man on Trolley Car
Talks on Swiss

There were two of them. Just men.
They had never met before. The
scene was on a Fort Lee trolley.
"This war at Verdun is terrible"
suggested the smaller man of the
two. Sitting in adjoining seats the
larger man saw that he was ad-
dressed and courteously replied Eyes,
it is terrible battle. Perhaps the
longest on record"
"And so close to Switzerland, too,
with her mighty little navy" said the
small man. 81 wonder if she will
take a hand at Verdun with her first
line ships?"
"What's that you say? Switzer-
land has no ships-no navy? She's
an inland country"
"But she has navy. I've seen the
list. Have you never heard OF the
finland sea?' That's in Switzerland.
Why they have a big dreadnaught,
the Matterhorn. I've seen it in the
papers," insisted the smaller man.
"Excuse me, but the Matterhorn is
the name of big mountain in the
Alps, my friend; you have got things
mixed"
ooh, no 1 haven't either. That
Matterhorn is battle ship, and it's
in Switzerland"
Just then the car stopped at Main
street. The big man got out, stand
ing stock still in his tracks. He
looked at the slowly moving car,
then walked on home saying as he
started.
"Well, I'll be d-d!"

piled:

out but for you to work nights"
