%UGGLERS OF HEARTS.

Probably the worlds marrying record for men
was created by that notorious bigamist, George
Witzoff, whose marriages have been estimated at
about 500. In the space of a single week he
went through marriage ceremonies with ten
women.
An amazing matrimonial record, too, was that
of a certain John Watson. This "juggler of
hearts" became acquainted with the eight daugh-
tiers of a brewer. Within a year he had gone
through a form of marriage with each of the
eight sisters, and had succeeded in decamping
with their savings.

A. ]. WITZLER,

What the European-that includes
the American-seems unable to grasp
is that, in the mass, Russia is of the
East rather than of the West. The
European kept constantly in mind the
French Revolution when he should
have turned his eyes toward China,
where the closest parallel to the Rus
sian situation was to be found. To
the masses of the Chinese the only idea
conveyed by the twin words "democ,
racy" and republic" was that of nc
government, say New York Herald.
During the nearly six years in which
the Chinese masses have been trying
to absorb the idea of popular govern
ment China has been in a condition
closely approaching chaos-saved from
that, however, by the greater intelli'
gence of the Chinese masses as COM
pared with that of the Russian masses

were quite a curiosity though the

had picked up a few words of

wrong. Old fashions predominant.
The peasants dress in old style
black with little white hats that
are smaller than an old lady s

brim velvet hats with velvet vests.
The houses are all white stone

ON no apparent plan. Everything
appears quiet and peaceful and no
one would ever dream of the de-
vastation going on little to the

No one doubts but what the war
will end right. America will do
wonders. AS matter of fact
some apparent wonders are visi-

The regimental dog has always been
a favored animal in the United States
armies, whether regular or volunteer.
Champ Clark, it will be recalled, by re-
viying southwestern folk song re-
lating to the unwisdom and bad taste
of kicking my houn' dog aroun',"
aroused new interest in that partlcu-
lar animal, and the Second regiment
of Missouri adopted one as it's mas
cot" Since then the organization has
been known as the "Houn' Dog Regi-
ment." Recently a wealthy lady pre-
sented the men with fine specimen of
the species Great Dane, Maltese
blue in color and weighing 210 pounds.
1t is unnecessary to say that few lib
critics will be taken with this "hOun'."
