GERMAN SUBMARINE MAKES AN
UNSUCCESSFUL At TACK UPON !.
AMERICAN UARSH|P; ESCAPES

BOSTON, April 1.-THE war
was brought to the ahores OF TINS
country today when the United
. States destroyer Smith reported
by radio that an enemy subra-
rine had tried unsuccesstuIly to
torpedo her 100 miles south OF
New York at $50 this morning:
Additional reports were recelVed
from the destroyer tonight and
we're forwarded 20 Washington.
Ncthirg Of an official nature re-
garding the additiona reports was
made public here. a suggestion
in shipping circles that the lookout
on the Smith had perhaps mis-
taken large fish for a torpedo
in the uncertain light Of the early
morning, met with the reply that
the Smiths officers stood by their
original statement.'
The navy. departments version
of the original statement was:
"Reported from Fire IsIano

seen crossing the bow. Thc
submarine disappeared.
Whether the swift destroyer
dashed fer the spot where the
- U-boat was thought to be lurking,
was not made known by officers
who had seen tho SIN this report
Of the incident. Neither could
it be learned here whether there
was d chance for the Smiths quick
firers to come into action. 1t was
learned. however. that another de-
strcyer pissed near the position
mentioned in Smiths report WITH

RUSSlA'S GREAT CLOWN.
Ourov Had a Biting Tongue, and He
Dearly Loved Pigs.

Ourov Had Biting Tongue, and He
Dearly Loved Pigs.
The famous Russian clown, Anatole
Durov, held chat, whatever your voca-
ton, the only thing that brings you sue
cess Is work. Acco. dinghy he became
the most Industrious, successful and
beloved clown in Russia and probably
the richest clown in the world, too, for
when he died he left fortune Of ST.
100000 and collection Of trained AMI
mails that brought visitors to his home
from all over the world.
Born Of an ancient and noble family,
he was a pupil Of the renowned cadet
corps, but before his graduation he ran
away and joined circus.
But he had no ambition to be an or
binary clown. He kept In touch with
politics, with everything that took place
in Russia, and applied to it bis wit.
Soon be became an unlicensed censor
of Russian society in motley. Evil he
rebuked by jest and gibe. No man was
in too high a place for his tongue, and
furious officials once brought about his
exile. Russia loved him too well for
that, however, and soon be was back
in the ring. To show that he meant to
be more discreet he appeared with
paddock attached to his mouth.
He was very famous animal trainer.
The pig was his favorite pupil. and 1t
is said that his pigs could do almost
everything that human beings can do
except talk.
A team of trained pigs drew him
about the streets, and so did he love
them that pigs head with ID" to
the left was the device upon his seal.
He used to enjoy telling how. when
he was on tour in Germany, one OF his
pigs ran away and came finally to
farm not far from Berlin. The farmer,
who was a kind man, gave the tired
looking beast food and drink. To his
CONSERVATION, the visitor solemnly
mounted an upturned barrel, looked
gratefully at his host and stood on Its
head as token Of Appreciation
Youths Companion.

TRAMP PROVES A WOMAN.
After an Arrest One Was Shown 70 Be
The Others Wife. -

Thomasville, Ga. - Investigation of
two supposed hoboes who had been ar
rested and placed in the barracks here
revealed that one of the pair belonged
to the gentler sex.
Upon being arrested the pair gave
their names as Mat Smith and Bill Sea-
rey, but when Bill was found to be
woman they confessed to being Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Bessent Of Jackson
vile, Fla.
They said they were on their way to
Milwaukee, Wis, and as they did not
have funds sufficient to pay their way
there they decided to tramp it, the wife
being unwilling to be separated from
her husband. She felt that she could
make the trip better and easier In the

How, When a Young oTcer, He Sub.
dued an Ugly Mutineer.
In Admiral Eewey's autobiography,
written for Hes rst's Magazine. is the
following story. which shows that as
young lieutenant commander the
hero Of Manila bay already possessed
the iron nerve that characterized his
later life:
Commodore II. X. Thatcher, in COM
mand of the Colorado, welcomed me on
board heartily, Notwithstanding my
youth. He said the ship was In a bad
state and gave me full authority in the
government Of the crew Of 700 men.
"Gradually was able to identify the
worst characters. They were the ones
I had to tame. The ringleader was q
giant red headed Englishman named
Webster. Many Of his mates were In
bodily fear of this great brute. The
prison being full, I had him put down
in the hold in irons.
zone day I heard a breaking OF
glass, and the orderly told me that
Webster had broken free Of his irons,
had driven the sentry out Of the hold
and, in a blind rage, was breaking up
stone bottles of soda and ale that were
stored there.
II sent the master-at-arms to arrest
him, and the master-at-arms came
back to report that Webster had sworn
he would kill the first man that tried
to come down the ladder into the hold.
"Such situation was not to be en-
dured. l took my revolver and start
ed for the hold. When I came to the
ladder Webster yelled up the threat
which had made the others hesitate
in view of his known ferocity. OF
course, any one going down the ladder
would expose his whole body to an at
tack before his head was below the
deck level and he could see his adver-
sary. But any temporarizing with the
fellow meant bad effect on the whole
ships company.
"'Webster, this is the executive Off
Ger, Mr.. Dewey l called to him. 4
am coming down and, Webster, you
may be sure OF. this-if you raise fin
ger against me l shall kill YOU
Il stepped down the ladder quickly,
to see Webster standing with stone
ale bottle in his hand ready to throw.
But he did not throw it and submitted
to arrest peaceably."

FOOT RULES in OUR ARMY.
Advice ,Whiel, May es Of Value to The
General Public.


No better advice to the public can be
given in reference to the care Of their
feet than is embodied in our Army Man.
ual Of Military Hygiene. which, Of
course, is not in general circulation.
The points particularly emphasized
may be paraphrased as follows:
Wear q shoe wide enough and
straight enough on the inner margin to
give the toes space for their proper po-
sition.
The best treatment Of bunions will
be found in removing the pressure over
the affected joint. This can only be
done by supplying properly fitted
shoe.
To relieve ingrowing nails they should
be cut squarely across and not round
ed. Scrape the nail thin on the top and
insert pledget Of cotton under the
edge.
For corns use properly fitted shoes.
Remove corns or callouses only when
they are q source Of pain and irrita-
ton.
Have at least two pairs Of we'll fitted
shoes for constant use and smooth
stockings as free from holes and darn
ings as possible.
After long walk wash the feet, dust
with, foot powder and put on clean
stockings and shoes, but do not soak
the feet in cold water.
Foot powder shaken into the socks or
busted over the feet will help prevent
blisters.
Wooden stockings will absorb perspi-
ration. Those who are on their feet
very much should harden them by ap-
plying foot powder and bathing the
feet frequently in cold water.
The correction Of fat foot may re-
quire long period and can be aided
by furnishing broad and we'll shaped
shoe, taking care that the foot Is
strengthened by proper exercises and
not overloaded.
Do not ''toe out" but walk with the
inner margins Of the feet parallel so
that the weight of the body will be
thrown on the outer or stronger part of
the foot Kathleen Hills in Leslie's.

IA Few Words About That Monsneat

The holidays are over and spring =
approaching. The busy time will soon
be upon US and it is the time Of year
we are thinking and planning our spring
and summer work.
Everything has and is advancing in,
price and it is to your interest to buy
now before they go higher. I antici-
pated the rise in price of Monuments
and bought few before the rise. It
you are anticipating erecting a Monu-
ment this spring or early summer it
would be we'll for you to come in and
see me before you place your order. I
have many new and beautiful designs
here and the price is as low as can be
made anawhere for the class of work.
We are very grateful for the patron-
age we have had from our friends in
the past and hope to merit it in the fu-
ture by giving dollars worth for q
dollar spent. You get nothing but the
best material when you buy a Monu-
ment or Marker from US and to induce
you to buy early. l shall make the
price as low as possibly can for the
next thirty days, only asking a fair
profit.
Pick up any circular and you will
likely read of "lowest prices, latest
machinery, perfect workmanship" and.
so on. We cannot quote the lowest
price because we do not know the other
fellows price, neither do we try to
make you believe we are the best in
the business. However we h. We q COM
plete equipment right down to the lat
est tools. You get from US the profits
that would 60 to an outsider if we did
not do our own work. Andyou get ex->S
actly what your order calls for and get
it as quickly as time will allow US to
finish and set it up. want your trade
now and for years to come you can
bank on me doing the rig hit thing to de-.
serve it.
There is nothing wonderful about us. (
We have forged ahead for the last IL
years trying to win on merit, endeav-
oring to strengthen a bond of conf
dence between the buyer and ourselves,
planning ways to eliminate needless and.
hidden expenses so as to keep our prices
down where they will allow US a fair
profit and give you a dollars worth for
every dollar spent with US. That we
have succeeded is best expressed in the
many beautiful Monuments l have
erected in your cemeteries.
Come in and see me, do not put it off
but come now. 1t will do no harm and
may lead to the lasting friendship that
should exist between all buyers Of
Monuments and the one who makes.
them. Shall we expect that pleasure? !.
