 This gave gross quota for each puted by checking of the number of National Guardsmen available for fed eral service and the number of men given by the state to the regular army since April 1.

SOME STRANGE INDIAN NAMES
That Red Mans cognomens Retain Pie-- turesqueness Is Shown by Those
 Figuring In Recent Land Sale.

That Indian names still possess their early strength and picturesqueness Is shown by the names that figured prominently in the recent sale of h. dian lands in the Standing Rock reser- vatlon in North and South Dakota.
 An inspection of the list reveals such names us Kate Good Crow. whose nearest neghbor is Barney Two Bears. Mary Yellow Fat adioins Melda Crow ghost, while Mrs. Crazy Walking. on the southeast quarter of section 1923 o5. has probably reached the state in- dicated by her name by being in the same section with Elk Ghost.
 Mary Lean Dog rather envies Agatha Big Shield her aristocratic name. In like manner, Jennie Dog Man and Mary Shave Head may be all too will Ing to assume on short notice the he roie name borne by Morris Thunderr shield, heir apparent to Long St Thundershield.

RUSS TROOPS ARE RELIGIOUS
Priests, ROBBED in All Their Vestments,
Have Gone to Death at Head of
Fighting Columns.

Friends of mine, correspondents
who have been with the Russian
army, tell me that its religion is re-
markable. Anyone who has been in
a Russian village will tell you that
the peasant cannot get along without
his priest and his ikon, the holy pic
ture that hangs on the wall of his
little house. Chanting priests, robed
in all their vestments, have gone at
the head of the Russian troops into
battle, into death.
There is story which is believed
by 80 per cent of the Russian armies.
The story is that when the Germans
made their big drive into Russia
hundreds of church bells disappeared
miraculously from the churches in
the territory captured by the Ger
mans and were found soon afterward
piled up in a public square in Mos
COW. That the Russian army took
down these church bells-so the Ger
mans would not have the metals to
melt into ammunition-and trans
ported them in freight cars to Mos
COW is not important. The vital
point is that 80 per cent of the Rus
sian army believe that this miracle
took place.-Christian Herald.

TONIC FOR FRUIT TREES.

A novel fruit tree tonic has been
brought to the notice of the French
Academy of Agriculture. In tests at
Autun the earth was removed from
the larger branches of the roots, Sits
were then cut lengthwise along these
roots and linseed oil was thoroughly
rubbed into the cuts. This treatment
was followed in a short time by the
development of fuzz of fine root
lets. The debilitated trees became
improved in appearance and con-
tinued to gain in health and vigor.
1t is recommended that an orchard
trial of this restorer be made on a
scale sufficient to determine its eco
nomic value

ELECTRIC PISTOL is TRIED
Inventor Devises Firearm That Is
Fired Without the Use of Either
Gunpowder or Cartridge.

An inventor has turned out an
electric pistol, built along original
lines. 1t does not use gunpowder
or cartridges, but is so constructed
that its contents, gases, are exploded
by touch Of the button and a pro-
jectile is expelled.
The pistol consists of brass
cylinder, at one end Of which is a
small battery and coil. The gases
are introduced from the outside, or
from a small tank attached to the
pistol frame.
Although the use of electricity in
this case is merely an experiment, it
is evident that it can be used to pro-
duce exactly what powder does, ex-
plosion in a confined space and the
swift movement Of a missile.
Mankind began with a club and
a stone to deliver blows. The bullet
is only smaller but speedier object
than hand-thrown stone, wounding
at greater distance than is possible
with spear or arrow.-Electrical

Inside and Outside Crowds.

oho OAsosNN ~
NO" said David Donaldson
with decision, Il won't go into
the church. You're all right
yourself, Fred. If church MEM
bers were all like you, it would
be different. But l can't stand
the hypocrites you've got i'll with
you. Look across the street ;
there goes DR.. Jamison-a long
faced, praying scoundrel, and
everyone knows it. I'd rather
stay on the outside than associ-
ate with such men,"
At the next corner his conf
paniom turned. Let's go down
Fort Street," lie suggested.
David drew back. What for?'
he calculated. THAT'S not an
agreeable walk, if you ask me. "
"Oh, just little way. We've
plenty of time"
In silence they walked two or
three blocks. Then they came to
the worst place in all the hideous
length of Fort Street. A drunk
ell woman staggered from a
| crum5ling shed marked "Sa.
loon" two men were brawling
loudly on the corner. Little
children playing at marbles were
fighting and swearing as the
game went on. A coarse voiced
manwas beating decrepit horse
because it could not pull its heavy
load.
The young men walked SILENTLY
along and their faces showed the
disgust they felt. At last Fred
waved his hand toward the street,
abonding with its unclean life.
"Dayid,' he said, Il like
You you're good fellow. o.
If everyone outside the church
were like you. l might stay out
myself. Perhaps l could be as
good Christian out as in. But
l can't stand the rest of your
bunch. Look at those men and
and women, those children.
Dave, I haven't much use for
your outside set. They are
low, they are indecent, they are
-inhuman. You are all right,
but can't stand that part of
your crowd"
David turned upon his friend in
anger. Was he to be thrown in
with that riffraff? Then he paus-
ed. After all, was his friend
Fred, a genuine, sincere Chris
tan, to be counted in with the
hypocrites inside the church?
He laid his hand on his friends
arm and smiled.
Your point is we'll taken, old
chap" he said. IF you put it
that way, admit that in spite
of your hypocrites you people
inside the church have got the
best of us outside. I'll go with
You next Sunday,
