Oho would supposo that all soldier

about the signal service.
These remarks a to a preface to the
rpcltal of an attempt to make a tighter
out of a musician an army musician.
Jacob Qobcler was a bugler in one of
tho regular regiments. Whcu tho regi.
mcnt was preparing to go to Cuba at
tho tlmo of the Spanish-American war
ho became ambitious to bo a real sol
dlor instead of n tootcr. Ills sergeant
told, him thnt ho had better stick to his
buglo, but Jacob said that whcu a
bugler was killed In battle thcru was
no glory in his death. He preferred to
die with weapons In his hands Instead
of a bugle.
So Jacob been mo n soldier and was
in tho first battle fought after tho
troops lauded near Santiago. Unfortu
nately It was his first fight, and ho was
rattled. Meu wcro being shot down
bosldo him by nil enemy they could
not seo. Sotno of tho corps wcro got
ting back; others were standing. Ja
cob got It Into Ills hend that ho should
sound a retreat. Putting his handbnek
to grasp his l-'iglc, ho found a revolver
instead. 1'uttlng tho muzzle into his
mouth, ho tried to blow. In his ex
citement ho must hnvo pulled tho trig
gcr, for ho was brought to his senses
by feeling something warm ou his Jnw,
aud, putting his hand there, ho found
blood pouring from n holo In his cheek.
The wonder was that the bullet had
not gone through the vertebrae at tho
back of his neck nnd killed lilin. He
must have blown through a corner of
his mouth,
Jacob was lu a hospital till pretty
near the end of tho war. It would
hnvo been better for him to return to
tho duties of a bugler, but tho holo
hi lils check didn't close up, and an
nttohlpt to blow n buglo would scud;
all tho wind out nt tho side of his
faco Instead of through his buglo.
Wluin Jncob returned to duty ho
found It Imposslblo to explain to his
comrades how ho cmno by tho holo
In Ills check. Tho story got out. and ,
hb w'm laughed at. This fired him
with a deslro to redeem himself. Ho
longed for an opportunity, nnd tho
opportunity came. Thero was no lack
of fighting around Hantlago. Truo, tho
Spanish and American forces wero

Tho captain of Jacob's company, real
izing his predicament, cried out:

THE CABINET LEAK.
Daniel Webster Was Not Long In Dis
covering Its Source.
Onco years ago, when Daniel Web
ster was secretary of state, thero was
an Important foreign matter up fordls
cusslon before tho cabinet, and tho ut
most secrecy was of courso maintain
ed, but the whole thing was blazoned
about In a few hours after the cabinet
meeting. So the president hastily sent
for his cabinet to talk over this leak,
Each man had n different idea of it.
Finally Mr. Webster arose, saying,
"You, gentlemen, go on with your dls-
cusslon, nnd I'll bo bnck In n minute."
In a fow minutes ho returned nnd re
peated every word that had been spo
ken lu the room lu his absence. lit,
explained that If by standing closo to
tho door outsldo the cabinet room you
held your ear to it you could uot dls
tlugulsh ono lntelllglblo word, but If
moving back from tho door and a little
to ono sldo upon a certain spot In tho
carpet you kept an attoutlvo car cv
cry word could bo plainly heard as
though whispered. Some enterprising
eavesdropper hud been experimenting
with tho door and had found that
upon that exact spot there was somo
acoustic property of tho door or room
that conveyed tho sound In perfect en
tirety.

certain person and would look for a

No other detective should bo put on

engaged him and went back to the
city to attend to other matters that
promised more certain results.
Joo Avery, a nephew of (he murder
ed man. lived in Petersvllle. a much ro
snected vounir man. with n very nico'
wife and two very pretty children.!
One dny while walking on the streot
he picked up n ten dollar bill. Ho wns
in hard luck at the time nnd very
much delighted at his llnd. The bill
wnB partly spent for meat nt n butcher
Bhop. The snmo afternoon Avery was'
arrested for the murder of his uncle''
on Information furnlslu-d by Zliumer
uinn. The detective produced a list of
bills, giving their numbers, that he
said he had found lu an unused, chim
ney In tho murdered man's house. The
list wnB supposed to refer to $7,000
that the old man kept there. Tho the
ory wns that the money had been tnlc
cn by the murderer, who had unwit
tingly left tho list.
Everybody In the town wns surprised
at Avery's arrest, nnd no one at first
believed him guilty. It was not sup
posed that his undo had nny money,
and If he hnd tho murderer wad the
only ono who could hnvo known of lt.
Thero was a strong case of clrcum-
stnnclnl evidence ngalnst Avery, but lt
wns weakened by Zimmerman himself,
who under cross examination contra
dicted himself ns to bow. where and
when be had found the list. Experts
disagreed whether lt wns or was not
In the handwriting of Meagher. By
throwing doubt upon this evldcuco tho
prisoner's attorney snved his client
from u vcrdtct of guilty. The Jury dls
agreed, but In order to avoid the ex-
pcnso .of another trial brought lu a ver
dict of not guilty.
Avery had uo doubt that ho bad
bfen made tho victim of n plot and as
soon as he gained his liberty set about
a bit of detect I vo work to discover the
author. The -first fact he noticed wns
that with his nciiultlnl the case was
dropped. Tho authorities believed that
the murderer had been discovered, but
Unit his nniultlnl wns a case of "not
proved" rather than "not guilty." The
detective who worked- up the case
against til 111 - had dropped the mntter
and was .now working for the Miller
detective ngeiiey that hnd employed
him, ludeWl. every ono seemed satis
fled to let the mailer rest except tho
man who had narrowly escaped the
gallow3 and wiih In consequence llvlug
under the ban of being a murdcrpr.
Theso were the reasous that induced

both, played Jigs and old I tunes 1, roused
tho echoes with tho "Star Spangled

would havo beeu musical snobbery to
say that you didn't like them. You
