received his money for his wheat n
man informed him of the fact that he
knew where they could obtain liquor
by the drink. Humphrey alleged that
this man ordered the drinks from
John Karkness and paid 80 cents for
the small glass of liquor which imme-
diately affected his head, causing him
TO seek fresh air. thereby falling into
the hands of the police.
Karkness was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Payne and Chief of Police
Buchanan for selling the drinks.
Judge Holloway said: ut would seem
that an effort was being made to OBJ
tain his money as was done one year
ago after the old man sold his wheat"
Humphrey lost 5000 on one spree last
year after selling his wheat crop. He
Is an Indian farmer whom It wouN
seem narrowly escaped the same fate

6 WEEKS FOR WOMAN SMOKER.

London Daily News: When a wo-
man named Isabel Reid, of Austral
street, Southwark, was charged at a
London police court on March 20 with
smoking pipe in munition factory,
it was stated that at four o'clock on
Tuesday morning tobacco smoke was
seen, and the prisoner was found to
have short clay pipe in her stocking.
The magistrate described her action
as most disgraceful. She must have
been fully aware that she was imper-
ling the lives Of thousands of people,
and she must go to prison for six
weeks.
The Prisoner: Can I pay fine?
am exceedingly sorry for what l did
Mr.. Cecil Chapman: Certainly not!

What the Insignia
On Uniforms Means

In times of peace by means of the amount OF
gold braid and shiny buttons displayed the aver
age man could usually guess the rank Of an officer
within few grades, but In the stern days of war.
when officers and men clad alike In business
like khaki, there Is little to tell private from
major. There is, of course, n method in this, for
1t would not do in modern warfare to make OFF,
conspicuous to the enemy.
In all branches of the service, Infantry cavalry
and artillery, the symbols insignia of
rank used The corporal, at the bottom of the
scale of officers Is distinguished from the private
by the chevron, consisting of two bars the right
sleeve. In the of the sergeant, next highest
in rank, the chevron is of three inverted Vshaped
bars All enlisted men. including these non-com-
missioned officers, wear side Of their coats
blouses bronze button with the number of
their organization, and in relief crossed rifles for
the infantry, crossed sabers for the cavalry and
crossed cannon for the artillery. Coast and field
artillerymen may be distinguished by the fact that
in the Of the former In addition to the
there is shell at the point of intersection Of
the cannon.
The second lieutenant, lowest In rank of the
commissioned officers may be distinguished from
the enlisted man, despite the fact that he wears
insignia his shoulder straps, by the gold
marking on his collar. This symbol. as in the case
of the enlisted men, is Of crossed rifles, sabers
cannon according to the branch of the service,
and is worn by all regmental officers. On the
other side Of the collar the letters ~. s.. in
gold. Infantry officers may be distinguished by
the fact that the latter canvas leggngs while
the officers have tan leather leggings.
First lieutenants have silver bar their
shoulder straps, whiEe captains have two bars. OF
the field officers. the major a gold leaf. and
the colonel a silver spread eagle. The brigader
general has silver star. and the major general
