The Extinct Billy Goat.

Strange is the march Of time. The
Billy and Nanny goat were once a
dominating feature In every American
community. A snapshot could not have
been taken without a goat somewhere
in the picture. but the goat was not
deemed a fit insect to hobnOb In swell
society. Its product might be admitted
across the threshold Of the rich, but
not its savory self. The highest stand
ard the goat has ever attained is the
mascotship Of volunteer fire COM
pany, or a similar Office In the U. s.
navy. which was practically the low
est rank of any living thing abroad
In his .palmy days vivid posters were
often seen of him In the act Of Jug
Cling with glass Of fresh book. and
now the American Billy goat is doomed
to pass down the line of has-beens.-
Exchange.

Regulations Govern
ing Mobilization
of Drafted Men

The regulations under which
the new national army of men
lately drafted are to be modified
have been published.
The local boards in the various
parishes have full power to call
out the men drawn. They are
to call out one-third of the men
selected. fix the time and place
of entrainment, find clean and
sanitary places for them at no.
tells and lodging houses, arrange
for meals and give tickets for
same to be redeemed later in
cash by the government.
The local board in Grant par
ish is composed of Clerk j. j.
O'Quinn, Sheriff L. 0. Clinton
and Coroner E. H. Blackwood.
These men are required to order
33 men to report to them on or
about September l. They will
then inform the men of their
military status, select one man
to place in charge of the party
for its trip to headquarters. and
this man is to name man who
is to be second in command.
The board is to see that the
men report at roll call daily until
ready to entrain, and final veri-
fication of the list of men COM
posing the squad is to be made
just before entraining. If any
one is missing an alternate must
be put in his place.
= The men will be instructed
that they are under military or
ders, and that they must obey
those in command. 1t will be
the duty of the commander of
each party to watch over his
men, see that none are left be-
hind, that all are fed regularly
and that no liquor is furnished
to the men.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1917-08-18

After the departure of the levy
of men for camp the local board
will gather up all stragglers. If
there is evidence of wilful vio-
lation of orders the offenders
will be reported to the adjutant
general of the army as a desert
err, and the local officers will be
required to arrest him on sight
and turn him over to the nearest
army post for trial. Where there
is no intention to desert and the
missing man reports of his own
will. the board will send him on
to camp with an explanation.
1t is expected that the first
squad of 33 men from Grant par
ish will be ready to entrain on or
before September 5, that the
second squad OF 80 Will entraln
about September Is, and the
third squad of 80, making up the
total SO quota of the first draft
for Grant prrish, will be ready
to entrain September 80.
The method of procedure
With each squad will be the same.
On arrival at camp all of the
men will undergo a final physi-
cal examination by army doctors.
If any are rejected the local
board will be notified to send an
alternate for each man that may
be rejected.

leoend Of Hanoman's Stone.

Numerous large powders IN Eng
land as well as in this country have
received the name of the hangman's
stone, as result Of a legend which
attaches much the same story to each.
There were two fiends in the parish OF
Foremark, In Derbyshire, called the
Great and the Little Hangmap's Stone,
from the, boulders which they con-
tanned. The former was five or six feet
high, with an indentation running
across the top. This peculiar mark
was explained by tradition. as follows:
Once upon a time thief, having
stolen a sheep. placed his booty on the
topzof the stone while he rested. but
It slipped on and strangled the man
with the rope which tied the sheep to
his back, the indentation being made
by the friction Of the rope passing
back and forth In the struggles OF the
dying man to extricate himself.
