The island seen from the steam
launch is q barren, sandy hill, ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa

The sand Of these hills is one of the

BITTER FIGHTS OVER Boards
Tartars and PersIans Long In Conflict
Because They Held Varying opln-
Ions on the Matter.

Before now the wearing Of boards
has caused q bitter war and made the
executioner's ak cut through many a
neck. The Tartars waged a long war
with the Persians, declaring them In
fdels because they would not shave
their boards after the fashion Of Tar
tary.
The Greeks wore boards until the
time Of Alexander, who ordered the
Macedonians to be shaved lest their
boards should give handles to their
enemies. The ancient Romans wore
boards, but in England they were not
fashionable after the conquest until
the thirteenth century and were dis
continued at the Restoration.
Peter the Great kept squad of Of
i1cers whose duty it was to cut the
boards of unwilling citizens by force.
Before 1S40 shaving was almost uni
versal in the United States.
There have been numerous instances
Of women with long masculine boards.
Margaret of Savoy, daughter Of Maxi
milan I, had long stiff beard, and q
woman was seen In Paris with black
bushy beard that reached to her waist.
At the battle of Pultowa the Russians
captured a bearded woman, whom they
presented to the car. She had .
,eard five and one-half feet long.

Teaching Soldiers Caution.

have a friend-a young six-foot Of
f1cer, powerful as horse-at one of
the environments In the far South who
has way Of showing his men the need
for individual responsibility, Edward
Hungerford writes in Everybody's
Magazine.
1t Is his practice to skirmish around
the camp late at night and approach
the sentries, giving careless, indiffer-
ent, casually friendly replies to their
challenges. The sentry in his happy
go-lucky back country fashion. feels
that the stranger is not merely a
friend. but of the cantonment Then
200 pounds of Drawn and muscle
land upon him; he feels an awful
blow In the pit of the stomach; his
gun is taken away from him, and he
finds himself sprawling on the ground.
AS soon as he can get his breath he
looks at his attacker and begins:
"What the"
exactly so,' interrupts the officer,
"only If this really had been No Mans
Land and German scout you would
have been completely dead by this
time"
They are taking few chances in the
training Of our great army.
