Letters are being received by various

Dear Madam: Having heard from num

friend of mine and an ' ardent admirer of
my principles, I enclose a button picture
that I hope will grace your shoulder, and
I shall look for the same when next 1
meet you. Most cordially yours.
MAYOR "JIM." J901 Hickory.
"Any person' that would send such' a
letter as that to women In such a sneaking
way, ought to be arrested -and punished,"
said Chairman Flynn, for the Dahlman
committee. "It bears on its face evidence
of being counterfeit, of course, and Its
purpose Is very apparent. To stop to de
nounce such a canard seems Idle, yet I do
want the newspapers to show it up, and.
If the author can be found, there will be
something doing."

Circular from War Department Befuses 'to Further Aid in Collection
of Bills Contracted by Enlisted Men Sixteenth Infantry Boys Write
of Good Hunting in Alaska New Girl at Home of Lieutenant Fisk
A circular has been sent out from the
War department to the different posts in
regard to debts contracted by enlisted men
wnicn tney sometimes neglect to pay. and
have been Bent' to the War department
by their creditors for collection, ine Cir
cular reads as follows: .
, "in view of the fact that practice by deal
ers of selling articles Qil merchandise' to eif
11 if ted 'men of the army burdens the War
department with unnecessary correspond
ence in the case of nonpayment of tne ln
debteaness, and thai such transactions,
w tile n are rapidly Increasing in numoer,
often' Involve enlisted men in debts which
they cannot pay, and frequently lead up to
assertion, the following statement of the
policy of the department with respect to
this matter is puullshed for the Informa
tion and gulclanoe of all concerned: The
department - will no longer concern Itself
with the business of persons, tlrms or cor
porations selling merchandise to enlisted
men on credit, and all communications with
reopect to such Bales, and all arrangements
looking to the establishment of such busi
ness relations, must be had with the com
manding officer ,of the organization to
which the enlisted men belong. The War
department will decline to assist, by an
swering Inquiries or otherwise, In securing
the, payment of obligations of this char
acter' which are Incurred without the pre
vious knowledge and consent of the com
manding officers of the organizations to
Which the debtors belong."-
This action, no doubt, was prompted by
the great number of communications re
ceived relative to enlisted men who fall to
puy their accounts, which necessitated a
large force to handle this class of cor
respondence alone. The refusal to consider
such letters will mean a saving In operat
ing expenses.

HAL0S KNOCKED FROM HEROES
Boston Historian Pens nn Indictment
Against Some Revolution
. srr Leaders.
' PaArlotio Massachusetts is thoroughly
aroused over the scathing attacks made by
James H. Stark, historian, on Its revered
revolutionary heroes In. his book, "The
Loyalists of Massachusetts and the Other
Side of the American Revolution."
Stark calmly tears the . haJos from the
heads of the ancestors of many of Massa
chusetts' first families who pride them
selves on their honorable lineage. The book
Is a moot damaging document to the cause
of the Sons of the Revolution and other
kindred societies' and one of tjie boldest
statements concerning the real lives of some
of the foremost men of revolutionary days.
In a chapter devoted to the causes of the
revolution the author states: "In Virginia
the revolutionary movement of the poor
whites, or 'crackers,' led by Patrick Henry,
was against the planter aristocracy. It
was only very slowly and very deliberately
that Washington Identified himself with
the dlsunionlst cause."
Patrick Henry was one of the most unre
liable men living, according to Historian
Stark. Byron called him a forest-born
Demosthenes and Jefferson, wondering
over his career, exclaimed: "Where he got
that torrent Of language la Inconceivable.
I hav.e frequently closed my eyes while he
spoke and when he was done, asked my
self what he had said without being able
to recollect a word of it "
"He had been successively a storekeeper,
a farmer and a shopkeeper, but he failed
in all these pursuits and became a bank
rupt at 23," declares the author. "Then he
studied law a few weeks and practiced a
few years. Finally he embarked on the
stormy sea of politics. , One day he worked
himself Into a fine frenzy and in a most
dramatic manner demanded 'liberty or
death,' although he had bcth freely at his
disposal.
"Ji Jin Adams Joined 'the disunlonlsts prob
ably because he taw that If the revolution
was euccessful there would' be great oppor
tunity for advancement under the new gov
ernment. This proved to be the case."
The author, by quoting from a letter which
Adams wrote, shows Boston thait Adams
was a defaulter and did not make proper
return of taxes, and that his surettes had
to pay about fo,000.
Siturk takes up, with- careful detail, the
Boston mobs and the events leading up to
the revolution. In telling of the Bo-ton
massacre, he saye:
"The rioters repeatedly challenged the
soldiers to fire if they dared and the torrent
of coarse and profane abuse poured upi
the soldiers is astonishing even ln Its echoes
across the oentury und would furnish ma
terial for an appropriate Inscription on the
Altucks monument."
Concerning the Haslon tea pary. Stark
Bays:
"The Illegal seizure of the tea was in a
certain sense paralleM by the so-called 're
spectable' mob which on the 11th day of
Augui'l, 1834, destroyed the Charletown
convent and a year ktter nearly killed Qar
i.tjn and made the Jail his only -ife place
of refuge."
He further iterates that more than one
of the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendnce were smugglers, and John Han
cock a defaulter. In 1774 John Hancock was
elected trtanurer of Harvard.
"In this they considered their pitrtallim
more tha.ii their prudence," sayu the hla
lorun; "the amount of college funds paid
over to him was upwards of 15,400, and
Uke tils fnlend, Samuel Adams, he, too,
proved to be a defaulter.

and entreated him to make restitution.
They tMreatened to prosecute 'him and also
put his bond In suit as Adams' was, but

lids death in 1TO3 that his heirs made resti

Thomas Hutchinson, proofs that Benjamin
Franklin, when 67 years old, was dksmlmed
is pofcitmiaster of Boston because he stole
letter from the mall.
Stark was born in England, but came to
thl country when years old. He Is the
founder of several Important societies In

society, the Bouth Boston Yacht club and

SHADY SIDE OF EGYPTIAN LIFE
How Bra-gars Intrn Abont Travelers
aud Make Impudent De
- menda.
"Colonel Roosevelt's visit to Egypt has
called the attention of Americans to that
country. My attention was once called to
It In a somewhat different manner.
While at Marseilles, France I met a
rr.an from Ohio and passed a pleasant even
ing with him. We occupied adjoining rooms
at the hotel. About midnight he began
shouting In his sleep, "Ma fish, ma fish!"
which is Arabic for "I have nothing for
you." "Kuh, imshl" ("be off"). "Alia ya
tlk" ("may Uod give thee"). He repeated
these phrases over and over, and thrashed
around In his bed. 1 became uneasy and,
rapping on his door, asked If hs were III.
"No," he replied, "I have been traveling In
Egypt. Just arrived here yesterday. I
dreamed I was again surrounded by Egyp
tian beggars, and have been repeating my
replies to them."
In Egypt one should never give bakshish.
exrept for actual services rendered. Re
sist calmly but firmly every attempt at
extortion. Never pay till the stipulated
service Is finished. Then after you have
paid a little mora than the bargain called
for turn a deaf ear to the protestations and
entreaties that always follow. Bear In
mind that the more bakshish you give the
more clamorous becomes the applicant.
Real thanks and .gratitude must not be ex
pected for gifts. J
A friend of mine once broke one of these
rules, just to see what would happen. As
we passed through a little mud village
twenty miles from Cairo he gave a sturdy
beggar a mil Heme (half a cent). This beg
gar, accompanied by others, followed us to
the edge of the village, asking for more.
My friend then gave him a piastre (five
tents). They followed us a hundred yards
or so and were more persistent than be
fore. When they showed a disposition to go
back he gave them five piastres. They
followed us half a mile and became very
clamorous I was afraid we would get Into
trouble and wanted him to stop lt,ut when
they began to lag he gave them twenty
piastres. They followed us two miles, and
the experiment might have ended seriously
had we not met a company of travelers
with a dragoman who sent the beggars
about their business. This may help'you to
understand Egyptian character.-C'hristlan
