Tramp Proves To BE Woman.

brownsville, characterization of
two supposed hoboes, who had been
arrested and placed in the barracks
here, revealed that one of the pair be-
longed to the gentler sex.
Upon being arrested the pair gave
their names as Mat Smith and Bill
Searey, but when Bill was found to be
"a woman they confessed to being Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Bessent, of Jackson
Vile, Fla.
They said they were on their way
10 Milwaukee, Wis, and as they did
not have funds sufficient to pay their
way there they decided to tramp it,
he wife being unwilling to be sep
arated from her husband. She felt
that she could make the trip better
and easier in the guise of a man.

Sleeps With Dead Sister.

Gorham, Me.-After DR.. George F.
Gear, medical examiner, and Harley
Day, a selectman, had forced their
way into the old Warren home here,
the other day, they found that Miss
Sabra Warren, seventy years old, had
slept for six nights with the dead
body of her sister, Miss Julia Warren,
who was siXty-five years old.
In the room with the aged woman
and the body were dozen cats and a
flock of hens. Miss Warren would not
admit that her sister was dead.
She has not stirred for six days
and nights she told the medical ex-
aminer, but it's none of your bust
ness"
The women, who had at least $1,000
in Gorham banks, had lived alone
many years and rarely permitted any
one to enter their home.

iii .iICIIET,

Mr.. Lee Ward moved from eX-Sena-
tor Beasman'S farm, near Oakland,
this week, to the farm which he re
Gently purchased near Louisville. We
are glad to know that Mr. Wards
health has improved, and wish him
much success.
Mr.. Carroll Williams, who has been
IN partnership with Mr.. Warner
Trott, will move to ex-senator Beas-
mans farm, recently occupied by Mr..
Ward. Mr.. TrOtt will continue on the
B. F. Bennett farm.
Having sold his farm to Mr.. Arthur
Barnett, VIM. Phillips will move to
the property recently purchased from
DR.. r. F. Wells, Harrisonville. We
are Informed that Mr. l.. E. Lauter-
bach has rented Mr.. Barnett's farm
and will move there as soon as it is
vacated by Mr.. Phillips.
The youngest child of Harry Be
craft died of diphtheria, at Oakland
Mills, last week. No new cases are
reported so far, and we hope there
will be none.
Robert Bounds, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Bounds, has pneu-
mona, in rather mild form. He is
likely to soon recover if he does not
get relapse.
Talk about luXuries, if potatoes and
onions are not in that class we would
like to know what is. The potato
crop may not have been as large as
usual, but we do not see why thew
should command such an unheard of
price. 1t will be an incentive to most
people 10 plant an unusual large
crop, we DO not however, believe it
10 be wise, or safe, as far as we are
concerned, will only plant our usual
amount, believing it to be the safer
course.

Other PEOPLES Things.

Did you ever see a girl who would
turn down the leaf Of her library book
TO mark her place, when she wouldn't
think OF turning one of her own books
In such fashion? Did you ever know
boy who would leave a borrowed
bicycle standing out in the damp
though he was very particular about
his own things? 1t is a pity that
little folks or older ones should ever
be less careful of what belongs tc
someone else than of what is their
own.

81 was in rundown, feeble condition
me to try Vinol, and after taking two
gaining in flesh, it has built up my
health and [ am feeling fine for a

The reason Vinol was so successful
in Mrs. Understands case was be-
cause it contains the very elements
needed to build her up.

GRAYSON JUMPED
TO REAR ADMIRAL
White House Physician Among
Those Promoted by President

Washington, Jan. 19.--President
promotion of five staff corps officers of
The navy to be Rear Admirals, in &C
rordance with the provisions of the
last naval appropriation act creating
this permanent grade for the medical
pay, construction, and civil engineer
corps. Among these prom otions is
: shat Of DIR. Cary T.. Grayson. a passed
assistant surgeon, with the rank of
lieutenant commander, who for years
has been detailed as physician to the
president. DR.. ,Grayson was promoted
over ten passed assistant surgeons, Sc
surgeons, % medical inspectors, and
Is medical directors--a total Of 1877
and in pay to $4,000.
y The president sent the five nomina-
lions 10 the senate. Four Of the nomi-
nees are departmental bureau chiefs,
whose positions carry the rank OF
rear admiral during the term Of
office. The bureau chiefs, who now
become near admirals in their, own
right regardless OF their positions in
the department. are:
s Frederick X. Harris, civil engineer
Qieutcn2nt conlmanderl surgeon gen
cral and chief OF the bureau OF Inedi-
cine and surgery. '
g SarIe! McGoNan, pay director
(carta!nf, chief constructor.
81 The naval bill provided for two
rear adiliiraI& TO head the list Of medi-
cal directors. ard one each among the
civil engineers, naval constructors and
pay directors. Heretofore captain
had been the highest permanent grade
provided for in these corps "
Grayson Long at White House.
DR.. Grayson, who is promoted
from far down on the Medical corps
list, has been attached to the White
House since the Taft administration.
He was retained by President Will
son. and. besides serving as aid and
Keeping his chief tn physical trim.
he has tccome the presidents friend
~and companion. The doctor recently
passed the examination for the grade
OF medical director. and. in spite of
the demands Of the White House
upon him. has found time to keep
UP practice in local hospitals. He is
SO years old, native of Virginia, en-
tered the navy in 1908, and has had
tbree-year cruise around the world.
The announcement of these APP
pcintments created a sensation il,
q naval circles last night, because the
promotions as rule were not made
by seniority or on Recommendation of
sany board of,selection, but were per-
spnal with the president and secre-
tary of the navy. No criticism was
made of the& promotion of Chief
Naval Constructor Taylor who was
an international reputation for abil-
ity. In this case. since he was the
ranking member Of his corps, he was
not promoted over the head of any
other, member OF that corps.

detail was promoted over twenty
five officers of the medical corps;
paymaster general by detail, over only
twelve officers of the pay corps and
Civil Engineer Harris now chief of
the bureau of yards and docks by
detail over the heads of thirteen in
his corps. Passed Assistant Surgeon
Grayson was promoted over 1877 off,
GERS of the medical corps. who out
ranked him and the fact that they
were passed over in connection with
this appointment, it was learned to-
night, is ranking deep in the breasts
of members of the medical corps.
They do not object to DIR. Grayson,
Of whom they are all fond person
ally and whom they regard as an eX-
cellent surgeon, but they feel that
their claims to promotion should have
been considered.
Seniority Rule Broken.
Until this year all promotions in
the navy, line and staff, were by
seniority, the man at the head of each
grade being promoted to fill the first
vacancy in the next grade. When the
question Of changing to the new sys-
tenn of promotion by selection, which
has been legally adopted for the line
of the navy, was before congress last
summer, the naval committees con-
sidered the wisdom also of promot-
ing staff officers by selection. Finally
it was decided to promote the line
only by selection and to say moth
ing in the law regarding the man
ner in which the staff officers should
be promoted. There is declared to
be nothing in the law which says
how the staff officers shall be pro-
NOTED by seniority, or by selectloni
The appointments made today show
that only in the case of Chief Con-
structor Taylor was the rule Of
seniority followed. The other promo
tons were contrary to the rule of
seniority. They were by selection.
but not. by selection of board of
rear.4a daniEals, such as congress de-
clarsd 1hHhld make the promotions
OF officers Of the line. 1t is being
contended by staff officers last night
that if the rule Of seniority is not to
be followed in promoting staff officers
to the new posts of rear admirals
promotions by selection should be
recommended by naval board, and
the selections not made without such
recommendation to the president. -,
