The following sketch is repub
lished from our own columns Of
November 10Th, 1895:
Capt. g. Burkhart was born in
The city OF Baden, on the river
Rhine, one. if not he most beauti.
tut rivers in all Europe, in the
year lS4l. At the age of four
years he was brought over from
Europe by his parents and landed
IN New Orleans, on December 2lst,
1916. School facilities were few
III those days aud be had to push
his own way in the world, so that
his education was not what he
would like to have had it.
In 1860, when but twenty years
old, he married Miss Annie Morit1
During the war, which began
shortly after his marriage, he was
engaged in getting cotton, sugar,
etc., through Bayou Des Alle-
mands, Lake Salvador, and the
Company Canal, to the Mississippi
River.
In 1868 he became q butcher In
New Orleans and has continued in
that business ever since Capt.
Burkart took an active part in the
Reconstruction movement IN 1874
and was in the 14th of September

he fitted up that Office with new

STUFF THAT MAKES HEROES.
Michael Mcnamara Braves Submarines
to Fiqht For FLAG He Loves.

shington.-There'S a little spot in
Ireland that Michael Mcnamara had in
his "moind's eye" for long time
thirty years, in fact. All that time
Michael was obeying orders, drilling,
campaigning and doing the hundred
and one things that fall to the lot of
the American marine.
Michael finished his time, retiring
with the rank of "sarjint major, no
less" and went back to that little spot
in County Mayo
Then came our participation in the
war. Did Michael stay retired? He
did not! He came right back on the
steamship st. Louis, paying his own
fare, and went directly to the United
States marine corps headquarters to
volunteer his services.
Mcnamara could have signed up with
some Irish regiment, for despite his
fifty odd years he is still "foine broth
av a boy" Instead he braved the sub
marines to fight under the flag that for
thirty years he had called his own.

side Of the arena and let loose the
fierce and fiery toro. The entrance of
said toro was pretty much of a flivver.
The vast crowd evidently had him
buffaloed He nervously looked around,
paved the dirt under his feet, jumped
up into the air, cracked his heels to-

the yoke about his neck.
Now very cautiously the picadors ap-

thinking. Soon the picadors make

matadors, who succeed in worrying
the bull a great deal by their mere
presence and appearance. But now
comes the real thing. There is a fan

TWINS PUZZLE TEACHERS.
Eight Pairs Prove Source of Worry
to Teachers.


Omaha, Neb. - Whether Jimmy is
Jimmy or his brother Johnny and
Johnny really Johnny or just Jimmy
is the question that constantly con-
fronts teachers at the Webster school.
Eight pairs of twins in the school are
the cause of the complexity of the sit
uation.
Three pairs are boys, three girls and
two fifty fifty"
In Miss Erline Jeskalleks third
grade class are three pairs-Newel]
and Donald Davis, Lucille and Lillian
Poulson and Walter and Wade White.
In each case the twins are as much
alike as peas in a pod
In confidence it is whispered that
the twins have changed seats in their
classrooms without any one being a
bit the wiser excepting themselves.
The seating arrangement Miss Jeskal-
lex admits, is the only means by which
she can tell one of a pair from the

The game ideally suits the American

IAN army in the air, regiments and

Gently obvious thing is to knock out
Germanys eyes by thrust through
the air. But my idea would be some
thing vastly larger than a thrust. An
inundation of airplanes would better
express the idea in its magnitude.
''Sweep the Germans from the sky,
blind the Prussian cannon, and the

troops by machine guns from air
