Badly Battered.

"Drunkenness Is folly" earnestly ex-
claimed Bishop Magee in the house OF
lords on celebrated occasion. How
Mortified was the prelate to read In tho
papers next morning that lle had given
utterance to the very bacchanalian
sentiment. drunkenness Is jolly
Lord Salisbury was master phrase
maker. but one Of his best points was
spoiled when careless reporter turned
his reference to "manacles and Mani
toba" into the meaningless "manacles
and men at the BAR"
Sir William Harcourt was badly mis-
quoted once. Great Is Diana OF the
Ephesians!" he exclaimed upon the
platform. but one paper had 1t: Great
Dinah! What farce is this!''
Lack of knowledge of familiar quo
tations is prolific source OF misre-
porting. For instance, a speaker once
made use of the well known lines from
Milton's "BAllegro:"
But come, thou goddess, fair and free,
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne'
The brilliant reporter deputed tc
take him down" was in despair. He
could not make head or tail of thiS
mysterious utterance. But, following
the sound as far as possible, he seizet
his pen and produced the following:
| But come, thou goddess, fair and free.
| In heaven she crept and froze her knee.
The speaker was taken down in mor'
senses than one.-London Tit-Bits.

Fate.

The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare,
The spray of the tempest is white in air,
The winds are out with the waves at play,
And shall not tempt the sea today.
The trail is narrow, the wood Is dim,
The panther clings to the arching limb,
Tho lions whelps are abroad at play,
And shall not join in the chase today.
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
And the hunters came from the chase In
glee,
And the town that was builded upon a
rock
Was swallowed UP in an earthquake
shock.

CAMP FUNSTON
SOUTH DAKOTA MEN ASSIGNED
TO 34OTH MACHINE Gun
BATTALION.

Camp Funston, Kan, Sept. 10
Everything has been made ready for
the arrival of the second contingent
of the national army at Camp Fun
ston, and by this time next week it
is expected $4,000 of Uncle Sans
new soldiers will be barracked at the
military cantonment. BY the end Of
the week the increments from other
states, including those of South Da-
kota and Nebraska will be coming i'm.
The South Dakota men will be re
ceived by officers and non-commis-
stoned officers of the $40 machine
gun battalion. the unit to which they
have been ordered assigned.
The Nebraska contingents will be
divided into two groups. The men
from Omaha will be merged into the
331st machine gun battalion and
those from other towns and districts
of the state will form the 355th regi-
ment of infantry.
This is merely a provisional group
ing and many of the men who display
special aptitude for other branches
of the service will be transferred
later.
The officers of the seth army di-
vision have expressed themselves ass
being particularly well pleased with
the superior quality of material sent
to Camp Funston in the first 5 per
cent increment.
They are in good health and good
spirits and the thin mes are gaining
weight, while the fat mes are losing
flesh.
What the men from Nebraska and
South Dakota may expect when they
reach Camp Funston is as follows
They will be met at the railway
station by officers from the units 20
which they will be assigned. When
the roll is called and the quotas from
the various counties are found to be
present the men will be marched to
their barracks. Here they will b.
instructed to battle and change their
civilian clothes for uniforms. Cook
will be on hand to prepare their
meals. Within a few days after their
arrival they will undergo a physical
examination at the hands of army
doctors and later there will be an
other examination by lung and heart
specialists, so that after the final eX.
animation every man who remains in
camp will know he is physically per
feet.
