He Was a SportI

That genial and witty soldier, Lord
William Beresford, V. c., was. once at
a ball in India, says London Tit-Bits.
The evening being sultry the c0ntriver
of the festival had arranged a lot Of
seats in pairs in the adjoining racquet
court, which was pitch dark. During
one of the dance intervals Lord Will
liam took his partner there to talk
politics or what not, and whilst there
she dropped a small brooch. Cropping
about in the dark they could not find
it.
Light match, will you, Lord Will
liam, and then we can see," said the
lady. "Why not bulls-eye lantern
whilst we are about it? No, no :. let's
play fair" Then he stood up, and in
a loud voice announced, Ladies and
gentlemen, 1 am about to light a
match" And after a tactful pause
he did so.

BAKER OPENS DRAFT DRAWING
Secretary of War Explains Briefly the
Care Taken in Arrange
ments.

Misunderstanding Baker made
a short address in opening the selec-
tive army drawing ceremonies. He
said:
1--WE have met this morning to con-
duct the lot or draft by which the ma
tional army and such additions as may
be necessary to bring the regular army
and the National guard up to war
strength, are to be selected. This is
an occasion of very great dignity and
some solemnity. 1t represents the first
application of a principle, believed
by many of us to be thoroughly demo-
cratic, equal and fair in selecting SOL
diers to defend the national honor
abroad and at home.
81 take this occasion to say that
every step has been most honestly
studied with a view not only to pie
serving throughout the utmost fair
ness in the selection, but also to pre-
serve all those appearances of fair
ness which are necessary to satisfy
the country that this great selection
has been made in accordance with
every principle of justice.
"There are assembled here this
morning, in addition to officers of the
army, who are going to conduct for
the most part the mechanical part of
the work, the chief of staff, the adju-
tant general and other men high in
the military establishment, and the
drawing is to be held under the OBJ
servation of the senate and house
military committees, so that both the
executive and legislative branches of
the government are here to see that
fairness is given to every person"

it will stick together until the war is

ProverbiaI Wisdom.

All countries have sayings dealing
with marriage, mostly taking rather
cynical view. The Italians seem to
take fatalistic attitude, for they say,
''In buying horses and in taking wife,
shut your eyes and commend yourself
to Cod" A wholesome piece of advice
is contained in the Hindu saying,
"Women are wise offhand and fools
on refection-so take your wife's first
advice and not her second" The Irish
saying is very comforting, "a mans
best fortune is his wife"

MARKS OF DANGER
Certain Characteristics Distin-
guish Poisonous Mushrooms.
Edible Varieties May Be Easily Identi--
fled With Exercise of a Little
Care, Says Agricultural
Expert.

Every year there are q few cases;
of mushroom poisoning. In some in
stances the individual is only made
sick, while in other cases the results
are fatal.
1t is difficult to lay down any hard
and fast rules that can be used to dis
tinguish between edible and poisonous
mushrooms. In some cases a species
that may be harmless for one individ-
ual may cause serious digestive dis
turbances in another. There is, how
ever, one group of mushrooms that is
deadly poisonous. This is the group
of Amanitas, says W. W. Robbins Of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
There are a number of species of
Amanita, all of which are deadly pois-
onous. The deadly Amanitas have
white gilis, ring about the stem just
beneath the cap, and cup or scales
at the base of the stem.
|. Do not place any reliance in the
many popular and traditional tests of
| poisonous or edible qualities. These
tests are entirely worthless. The dis
coloration of a silver spoon; sinking
in warer; or brilliant coloration-are
no indication of either poisonous or
edible qualities. Furthermore, the
notion that poisonous mushrooms can.
be rendered harmless by boiling in
water and then washing thoroughly in
cold water is erroneous.
One can easily become familiar with
few edible kinds of mushrooms.
There are many of these springing up
in our lawns, dooryards and along
fences. One may feel absolutely safe
in using all those mushrooms having
black gills which dissolve with age
into an inky mass. These, of course,
must be eaten before turning black,
but usually several stages of ripening
will be found in the same clump or
group of individuals, so that identif1-
cation can be made. Among these
black gill species are the shaggy
mane," with more or less bell-shaped,
creamy white cap which becomes shag-
gy, and the 'inky-cap," growing in
dense clusters. These two are both
common in lawns, gardens, ETC., from
spring to autumn and are among the
best of our edible forms. All of the
puf-balls are edible, and excellent If
eaten when the flesh is white and
solid.
Mushrooms are sometimes soon at
tackled by worms, and in gathering
those which have perhaps stood long
er than the others it is well to break
off the caps and note whether the
worms have worked their way up
through the stalk into the cap.
The deadly mushrooms are those
which possess the following three char
acteristics: ID white gills; (2) a
ring on the stem just beneath the cap
and (3) a cup or scales at the base of
the stem.

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini-
tial Misunderstanding Con-
tinues All Day Friday and
Throughout Night.
Long List Of Numbers Given in Order
as Drawn, From Which Those Who
viii Be Called to Serve in
First Army Will Be
Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing
for the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at 8 :45
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 10,500 numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1,OO0,-
600 men, and 1t is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1000
will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the sem
ate and house military committees I;
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
udjutant general Of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 1857 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10,2O0 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1856; and
the average is about 5000. As the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 4,557 men number
ed 126 ON their local lists as 157th In
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers In the order in which they were
drawn. The. first number IN each case
represents the order in which the see
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given In each line. Beginning
with the first number, which was
drawn by Secretary Baker.

over two or more of the original reg

stances failed to "shuffie" the cards

to number them serially. Instead they
had merely placed the cards from
