Under the selective draft law, regis
trants were given two physical exani-
nations, one by the local draft boards
and another by the army surgeons al
ter the men who passed the losal
board examination reached camp.
Analysis of these records of physi-
cal examinations shows that the ceun-
try boys made better records than
those from the cities; the white regis
trants better than the colored. and
the native born better records than
those of alien birth. These differ
enees are so considerable that 100000
country boys would furnish for the
military service 1880 more soldiers
than would an equal number of city
boys. Similarly, 100000 whites would
furnish f,240 more soldiers than would
an equal number of colored. Finally,
100000 native born would yield $500
more soldiers than would HE num-
Der of foreign. The importance Of
these figures may be appreciated by
noting that $500 men is equivalent TO
an infantry regiment at full war
strength.

Kept Gowns of a Lifetime.

Looking round the prodlgious dis
play of the late Princess Lobanof-s
clothing at the Hotel Dronot made you
wonder If she ever gave or threw any
thing away in her lifetime. Three
hundred or more tea gowns and eve
ming frocks. disposed of In the recent
sale of her effects, were of every date
since her wedding trosseau. Her body
linen also was of every style from the
primitive simplicity of early Victorian
ideals to the luxurious garments
adopted by the Partisan coquette to-
day.
But the embroidered and laced house
linen, the fine sheets In bundles of SO,
found more eager buyers than the
clothing. Her furs were of great bean-
ty and variety. There were coats aud
cloaks of sealskin. of dark astrakhan.

LONG IDOL OF SMALL BOY
Famous "Deadwood Dick" Lived and
Died In Full Appreciation Of His
Great Popularity.

Deadwood Dick Is dead. His real
name was Richard Bullock. and he
died most conventlonally at an age Of
seventy-five years In a hospital at
Glendale, Cal.
Deadwood Dick should have been
the happiest OF men. Few men can
pass twilight years illumined by the
glow Of their past. Few men are
privileged to read heroic lies about
themselves which are founded on a
modicum of truth Achilles never
read the "Aeneld." Satan never read
Paradise Lost" unless he had pc
rused It since Millions day by the fitful
flames of his plutonic abode. Sleg-
fried never scanned the "Nibelung-
lied" The greatest heroes Of the
greatest lies by the greatest liars have
met their end believing they would be
unhonored and unsung by posterity.
Not so with Deadwood Dick. His
saga was at his elbow these several
decades. All he had to do was TO
take down one Of the volumes over
which the boys of generation or two
ago pored to realize what great man
he had not been. And all the time
he had the consciousness that he real
ly had passed wonderful days on
mountain and plain, hauling gold by
stage through perils created By nature
and by man--that there was enough
