BATTLE Tho Barroom Type of Rowdy When Put to tha Test of War The barroom bully Is an arrant cow ard when yut to the test of war With this saying of the late General Itose crans as his topic a speaker at a civic betterxnnt meeting discoursed on the ways of the average bad man of the modern cities He read from a writing j of General Rosecrans familiarly known as Old Rosy In which that officer de- J scribed a regiment of men from Gin- cinnatl In the civil war In which there were many of the barroom bully class who had been pressed into the service or entered as substitutes to earn a few hundred dollars When these men came face to face with the grim fight ers In gray of the Confederacy and they realized that In warfare the rifle makes the puny weakling a match for the muscular giant the bullies just turned pale and flunked They couldnt stand rifle fire any more than they would the steely bayonet Big brawny bruisers who had been wont to swag ger about town with chips on their shoulders looking for some weaker ves sel to tackle found In the fire and smoke of battle that while their frames and muscles were large their real courage was mighty small and of the cravenly coward sort Better take the pale faced modest mannered Sunday school lads when you want real soldiers men who can face the bullets or the bayonets of the enemy rather than the brawny red faced bullies of our cities who when they are outdone in an argument want to resort to brute force to settle the question In dispute wrote General Rosecrans and he should have known Washington Star CHANGED THE TYPES The Story of a Vengeful Wife and a Bible Error In the famous library of Wolfenbut tel In Hesse is an old Bible which is greatly treasured It appears that in that passage in Genesis where God told Eve that Adam shall be her mas ter and shall rule over her the German translation is Und er soil dein herr sein Herr which means master does not occur in this Bible but instead there appears the word narr which means fool The error was caused by a quarrel between the printer and his wife in the year 1580 The wife was vengeful and in the silent watches of the night she entered the room where her hus band had been setting type and mali ciously changed herr to narr The printer was arrested after the book had been printed and the mistake dis covered but his apprentice testified that he saw the wife steal into the composing room and alter the word The woman was imprisoned for blas phemy and died in prison Orders were given that all the copies of 4 the edition should be destroyed This was done with the exception of the one copy In the Wolfenbuttel li brary Commercial Term In Law The plaintiff was stating his case j Your honor I was walking alongside of the waiting train when this man i who

attending a funeral in his own churchyard The service over and dust given to dust the green sod smoothed down over the narrow bed the company departed But a worthy man remained behind and approached the parson with a solemn face as though for serious talk Din ye ken what I aye think at a funeral Many serious reflections have come to one there and the clergy man expected some befitting thought No

Catholics in the world were assembled in one city they would make a city larger than the en tire population of the United States Russia and Austria Hungary But all the religious Protestant and

man has no right to stone his wife but he may rock his baby Chicago News v -- f HE FRIGATE PELICAN It Is a Small Bird With an Enormous Stretch of Wing The frigate pelican or man-of-war bird is usually found between the tropics Although when stripped of its feathers it Is hardly larger than a pigeon yet no man can touch at the same lime the tips of its extended wings Tho long wiug bones are ex ceedlugly light and the whole ap paratus of air cells Is extremely de veloped so that its real weight is very trifling It flies at a great height above the water and from that eleva tion pounces down on flsh especially preferring the poor persecuted flying fish for its prey Under the throat of the frigate peli can is a large pouch of a deep red color which can be distended with air at the pleasure of the bird The pouch is larger and of a more brilliant red in the male than in his consort and the general plumage of the female is not so bright as that of the male Although Its swiftness of wing and general activity enable it to snatch a fish from the surface of the water or to pounce upon the flying flsh before It can again seek the protection of Its native element yet it too often uses its powers in robbing other birds of their lawful prey It is enabled in some mysterious way to find its way home by night even though It may be 400 or 500 miles from land The length of the male bird Is three feel and the expanse of wing eight feet AN OLD TIME DRINK Refreshing Switchel and the Way It Used to Be Made They dont make it nowadays not mostly But they used to make It years ago and how good it was The corn lot had to be cultivated and it was a long way from the house and it was very hot up there on the hillside When they loaded the cultivator and the hoes and spades on the stone boat and hitched the two horses to that dry ground vessel they stowed away as part of the cargo a big stoue jug And when the corn lot was reached the jug was stowed away in a shady fence corner under the butternut tree and covered over with grass to keep it cool What was in the jug Switchel It was made of vinegar molasses gin ger and water The water was drawn from the spring beside the kitchen and was as cold as Ice could have made it And the stone jug kept it cold The vinegar gave it a pleasant acidity the ginger a little tang thats what they called it up In the country and the molasses just sweetened it a bit And how good it was to go over into the fence corner and take a few swallows out of that jug of switchel Come on lets go and get a glass of ice cream soda It will be somewhere about the hundredth part as good as a draft of switchel out of that stone jug In the fence corner in the corn lot up in the country Utica Observer She Was a Stayer One of the longest visits on record is one that was made by a woman in the south Perhaps such a thing could not have happened in a less hospitable part of the country The visitor was one of those most unfortunate waifs and strays of the country a refined woman with no home of her own That was in the days when women were ex pected to be cared for and not go out into the world to look out for them selves This woman went one day to spend the day with a friend and she remained for twenty five years She outlived the father and mother of the family took their places to some ex tent in the hearts of the children and for all those years she lived there hap py and beloved and giving in return for her home those services which can not be hired Exchange Sam Houston on Education One of the provisions in the will of General Sam
