CALEB GLOVER, C. s. A.

(There recently died in Orangeburg
s. c., Caleb Glover, an ex-slave, who
served faithfully through the Confed-
crate was as body servant for his
young master. Col. Olin M. Dantzler.
He was faithful even to death, and
carried his dead matters body home
to st. Matthews, S. c., after Colonel
Dantzler was killed on the battlefield.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
honored him by enrolling him SOL
dier of the "Lost Cause" and placing
a cross of honor on his bosom. Scores
of white friends attended his funeral. }
He was black, know, and his hair
kinked tight,
And the gait of his feet was lame;
But ever and ever his soul was white
And he honored good mans name.
They had tried him long but he stood
the test
For the heart that he owned beat
true;
He was only slave but he did his
And king but his best can do!
He was only a serf of the olden day
But he ranked on the knighthood
roll,
For fetters were never yet forged to
stay
The God in a good mans soul.
He was true to himself and his task
and Gou,
And true to the land he loved,
And there on his breats meath the cold
grey scd,
The worth Cf his life is proved.
He was black 1 know, and his hair
kinked tight,
And the gait of his feet was lame;
But ever and ever his soul was
white
How sweet were my own the same!

A London dispatch says: "Thc per-

FINGER PRINTS ACCURATE
Says Man Who Has Been Studying
Them for Years

Detective Frederick Kuhne, says
the New York Evening Post, for near
twenty years attached to the bureau
of Identification at police headquar-
ters, who was retired on a pension the
other day, says that he now begins
to realize the nature of the burden
he has been carrying while serving
the city as an Identification expert. 1t
was burden, he says, of vague fear
tie fear that some time, some where
case might turn up for man or wo-
man having the same sort of finger
prints as another person.
Mr.. Kuhne has made a science of
the Identification of criminals. He
is graduate of the College of the
City of New York and has written a
book on the subject of finger ,;rints
that has everywhere been accepted
as standard, "that the chanse of two
persons turning up with the same
finger markings is about equal to
taking million pins and scattering
them over floor then gathering up
these pins, scattreing them again, and
having every pin lie in precisely the
same spot it occupied at the first
scattering"
Mr.. Kuhnc said that the finger
print was natures one means of show
ing absolute originality. The only
analogy is The leaves of tree no two
of which in their markings are yer
alike. There are individuals, he point
ed out, who iCok absolutely alike as to
feature, who have the same manner of
speech, who are similar in many ways
but in finger prints nature insists up
on. variation.
This suggested to Mr.. Kuhne a
story.

Asbestos is the queerest mineral in
the world, and is rapidly becoming
one of the most important. 1t is i'm
pervious to the fiercest heat, and can
also withstand acids which would eat
up almost any metal. Today its prin-
cipal value is for packing marine en-
gines, and there is nothing else to
compare with it for this purpose.
