A PROBLEM IN
ARMY DISCIPLINE
[Original.]
“Corporal,” said the eqlone.l, "I see
Private Stokes strutting around the
post as If he were the prime favorite
j of the secretary of wnr. It’s not ten
I minutes since he was tied up by the
[thumbs. What does it mean?”
“Private Clarkson cut him down,
sir.”
“Cut him down!” exclaimed the colo-
nel, aghast at such defiance of military
authority. "Why, tills Is mutiny.”
The corporal stood straight as a ram
and said nothing.
“Arrest Stokes and tie him up
Igaln. Send Clarkson under guard to
ae.”
In a few minutes Private Clarkson
came marchlngd between two soldiers
(to the colonerrf\juarters. He was a
sy cheeked boy of eighteen, with
Baxen hair, cut close, and blue eyes, In
vhieh was a defiant look.
“Are you aware, my man,” asked the
olonel, "that you have committed an
|ct of mutiny?"
"Yes, colonel.'
mink you wflj huv?" sehse enough not
to cut Private Stokes down again?”
The colonel stood grim for a moment,
then gave the order: *
“Fire!”
Eight muskets exploded. Clarkson
fell.
The colonel, frightened lest some of
the pieces had been loaded by mistake
or tbe prisoner bad died of shock,
rushed to him, raised him, fanned him
with his hat and tore open his coat at
the neck that he might breathe more
freely. ,
"Great heavens! It’s a woman!"
Clarkson opened her eyes, saw the
colonel bending over her In terror and
—laughed.
“Who are you?" exclaimed the colo-
nel.
“Private Stokes’ wife.”
The colonel gave a low whistle, then
Went to his quarters and countermand-
ed an order excluding soldiers’ wives
from the post It was plain to him that
he could not keep them out

Pollt*ne«i IB Mexico.
Gentlemen In Mexico tip hats when-
ever they see each other, they shake
hands whenever they meet and part,
they do not consider It bad form to
stand In Hue on the sidewalks nod
stare at the ladles, they wear their
hats In a theater until the curtain rises,
and, moreover, they put them on be-
tween the acts aud stand up to look
at the audience, aud after a separa-
tion they embrace and pat each other
oa tbe back If they happen to be Inti-
mate friends.
They smoke everywhere, even In
some theaters. They never carry bun-
files in the street, but each Is attended
by a servant, who carries even the
smallest package. They are wonder-
fully courteous to each other, and two
friends will spend a good deal of time
lu deciding which shall enter a room
or carriage first.
Finally, every Mexican gentleman
when strolling on a street Insists on
giving the Inside of the walk to his
companion ns n mark of politeness.
This [joint Is quickly decided If th re
Is a difference in station or age, but if
there Is not. and the two friends go
down n street and cross often so that
the relative positions are changed, n
new discussion ns to which shall oc-
cupy the Inside becomes necessary at
every corner.
Man, Woman and LoTe.
In one of his books Max O’Rell, the
witty Frenchman, gives the following
advice:
“If you are bald, never make love
“And that mutiny Is an ofTense pun to a woman taller than you. Looked
at from below, you are all right.

A Child Blahop.
A curious custom formerly prevail-
ing on St. Nicholas day was the elec-
tion of a hoy to maintain the state
and authority of a bishop, for which
purpose be was clothed in rich epis-
copal robes aud wore a miter. Dean
Colet, In the statutes of St. Paul's
school, expressly ordains that "his
scholars should every Childermas (In-
nocents) day come to Paulis churohe
and bear the cliylde bishop’s sermon,
nnd after be at the hygh masse and
each of them offer a penny to :ho
chylde bishop.” On Nov. 13. 1554, tbe
bishop of Imndon ordered that all the
churches In his diocese should elect
boy bisbopB to take jMirt In proces
slons In tbe streets of the metropolis.
With tbe rise of Protestantism this
election was suppressed, but the Ktou
Montem was a continuance under an-
other form. The “boy preacher" was
known in England before lie came from
America.—London Chronicle.

ment you’re not likely to make much of
a soldier. Considering you're green.
I’ll let you off this time, but 1 warn
you that if ever y6u mutiny again
while under my command I’ll hove
you shot.”
The corporal marched the two guards
away, and Private Stokes turned aud
walked across the parade ground. The
colonel watched him and saw him draw
bis sleeve across his eyes.
“Not much more than a kid,” mut-
tered the stern commander. "These
innocent boys. Ignorant of army disci-
pline, are harder to break In than jail-
birds. They don’t know what they are
doing.”
Half an hour later as the colonel was
leaving his headquarters he met the
corporal of the guard at the door.
“Well, what la It, corporal?” he asked
uneasily.
"Private Stokes has been cut down
again, sir."
“What?”
'W “Cut down again.”
Wx “Who did It this timer
J “Private Clarkson, sir/’
The colonel was nonplused. Ilow to
It handlet such a case seemed to him an
Insoluble problem. He thought the
matter over while the corporal was
standing like a graven image and de-
termined to give this beardless boy
who was defying him a scare that
would teach him the nature of army
discipline.
"Corporal," said the colonel, “toll the
sergeant of the guard to bring Private
Clarkson here with eight men.”
When Clarkson and the men arrived,
the colonel ordered the sergeant to
have the muskets loaded with blank
cartridges without Clarkson’s knowl-
edge. This was done, tbe men were
drawn up In line, and the colonel him-
self took Clarkson, placing him thirty
paces from and in front of the firing
party.
"Now, my man,” said the officer,
“I’m going to show you what It means
to defy my authority. I’m going to
have you shot.”
Private Clarkson turned pale, but
said nothing. The colonel spent some
time adjusting him before the line of
soldiers in order to give him time to
.collapse. Clarkson stood silent with a
sullen pout on his lips.
“Ready!” said the colonel. (“By Jove,
he’s the biggest fool I ever knew. 1
believe I’ll have to pretend to shoot
him.) Aim!”
Clarkson not only failed to wilt but
cast a scornful look at the colonel
This was more than the commander
had bargained for.
"Are you aware,” he said to the pris
oner, “that when I give the next order
you will be a dead man?”
There was a twitching of the mus
cles of the private’s face, but he said
nothing.
“HI let you off.once. more, do yen
different characteristic parts of a hus-
band—a chum, n lover, an adviser, n
protector and just a tiny suspicion of
a father.”
Stories of Loudon Weather.
The Manchester Guardian tells a
good story of the weather. The scene
was a Strand omnibus. A louden sky
was overhead, the rain poured down
uncompromisingly, mud was under
foot. A red capped Parsee, who had
been sitting near tbe dripping driver,
got down as tbe conductor came up.
"What sort o’ chap Is that?" asked
the driver. "Don’t yer know that?”
answered the conductor. “Why, that’s
one o’ them Indians that worship the
sun!” “Worships tbe sun?” said the
shivering driver. “I suppose ’e’s come
over ’ere to ’ave a rest!”
This recalls the reply given on one
occasion by an eastern potentate to
Queen Victoria, who asked him wheth-
er his people did not worship tbe sun.
“Yes, yonr majesty,* said the oriental,
“and If you saw him you would wor-
ship him also.”
Tbe Quality of Charity.
There probably never was u man or
woman who dkl not occasionally need
the charity of those with whom they
came In contact, and on hearing a
story relating to the silliness or fickle-
ness of some one It is surprising that
they do not hope, for the honor of
their race, that it Is not true, or at
least treat It with charitable silence,
as they hope to lie treated. There nev-
er was a great man who paid much at
tentlou to gossip; there never was a
woman distinguished above .her sisters
for goodness who was not charitable.
You might ns well amuse yourself by
remarking the ugliness of people ns to
amuse yourself by remarking their
faults nnd transgressions. \Ye are all
ugly enough, heaven knows, nnd wo all
have too many faults to warrant us In
being surprised at faults In others!—

Rapid Army Mobilisation.
The finest example qf rapid organ-
ization of an army was certainly the
mobilization of the German army in
1870. On July 17 In that year the fa-
mous telegram, the shortest nnd most
momentous ever dispatched, “Krleg.
Mobil,” went forth from the headquar-
ters at Berlin, and within a fortnight
an army of 500,000 men, fully uni-
formed. equipped and provided with
commissariat, was on Its way to the
French frontier. Of course It must lx
'remembered that all these men had
been previously warned aud that all
hud been through their period of mili-
tary training.—London Answers.
A Moat Wonderful Peat.
William Lyon, a London actor of
tbe latter part of the eighteenth cen-
tury, once offered to wager that he
could repeat every word In a Dally
Advertiser at the next morning's re-
hearsal. Accordingly, the next morn-
ing his opponent ridiculed him for
bragging upon his feats of memory.
Lyon forthwith handed the paper to a
Judge agreed upon, and, notwithstand-
ing the want of connection between
the news Items, editorials, stories nnd
advertisements, he repeated every
word of the entire paper from begin-
ning to end without- tbe least huslta-
tidn or mistake.

Apes and gorillas are usually vicious
and resentful nnd less addicted to play-
ful tricks than the common monkey.
Indeed the monkey, ns we all know, Is
a trickster both in his wild and do-

they spend hours In swinging from the
branches of trees, suspended by their
tails, nnd chattering and grimacing
with evident signs of delight. Hum-

[Original.]
In the reign of Bloody Mary thaw
lived near Tower hill, in London, aa
armor maker named Cronin. His
home was kept for him by his only
daughter. Cicely, who was of an ex-
tremely gentle disposition and wlth. l
so tender hearted that she would go
out or her way to avoid trending on u
worm. She was beloved by her fa-
ther's nsslsiant, John Gaunt, a plain,
honest young fellow, who wasTesptet-
ed by “all who knew him. Cicely was
favorably disposed to John Gaunt, but
UIJ not encourage his suit. Indeed she
did not know her jmlnd and was fear
t'ul of wounding him. /
One morning she was going to the
'illumes to get a bucket of water, and
while passing ove r Tower hill she met
a man saun.ering along pensively, us
though he bore some weight upon Ills
mind. Cicely was captivated by the
Stranger’s appearance nnd especially
by u certain sotnlierness about him.
At the moment they passed each other
the Tower clock struck 11. Cicely re
metubered the hour, and the next day
she found herself Impelled to take her
bucket shortly before 11 to go again to
the Thames for water, though she
would not acknowledge to herself that
she did so In the hope of meeting the
stranger. She did meet him, and rids
time he looked at her with his melan-
choly eyes und snld:
"If you are going to the river for wa-
ter, I would gladly carry your buck
et”
"It Is very light,” said Cicely, blush
Ing. “It will be heavier when It Is
full.”
The stranger spoke with so soft a
voice und so respectfully that Cicely
Consented, und ho walked with her to
the river. She purposely told him that
her father was Cronin, the armor muk
cr, where Bhe lived and nil about, her
self, hoping that this would cuus<> him
to be equally frank with her, but ho
said nothing of himself, and all Clod-
could get from him was that lie was
employed at the Tower. Nevertheless
Cicely went home with tier heart In s
flutter.
Then cauie the revolt against the
legitimate sovereign, headed by the
Duke of Northumberland and aided by
his son. Lord Guilford Dudley, to place
the latter’s wife, Lady Jane Urey, on
the throne. One day Cicely saw armed
men hurrying past her house to the
Tower, from which suddenly burst
forth the smoke of cannon. The ad-
vancing host stormed, the fortress,
swam the moat nnd, p hiring ladders
ngulnst the walls, attempted to scale
them—all In vain. The assault was a
failure. The men who advocated the
pretensions of I-ndy Jane Grey to the,
throne were driven ofl’. and her cause
was lost.
Soon after Cicely was notified that
an attendant was wanted for a dis-
tinguished prisoner nt the Tower, a
woman In distress, who needl'd some
one to wait upon her nml soothe her.
She followed the messenger, who led
TW^o a room where the prisoner was
confined, the Lady Jane Grey.
She whose head had* been risked to
win a crown was soon to lose that
head upon the block. It became the
work of the tender hearted Cicely to
comfort, so far as she could, the uoble
lady who, though scarcely out of her
teens, was called ujiou to piny so tragic
a pari. Cicely read to her. prayed with
her, often could not help weeping with
her-ln short, proved the companion
that was needed to keep the condemn-
ed lady from despair during the trying
period. So occupied was the armorer’s
daughter that she never once thought
of John Gaunt, though there was some
thing In the gloom hanging over her
dear mistress nnd herself that wus
constantly bripglug up tbe melancholy
stranger she had met on YowM* hill.
One day she was Informed thnt John
wished to see her. and when she went
to him he offered to supply a saw with
which she and her mistress might re-
move two of the bars at the window of
•the room they occupied, leaving suffi-
cient space for Lady Jane Grey to pass
through. John promised to be in tbe
court at the appointed hour with man’s
attire, assist the noble Indy from the
window nnd after she had donned the
clothes show her the way out of the
Tower grounds.
Cicely hastened to propose the plan
to the prisoner. The offer was refused.
Lady Jane Grey relied upon such of
her adherents us hnd not beon arrested
to do all they could for her and did
not wish to embarrass them by an at-
tempt which would likely he a failure.
But tbe Duke of Northumberland
was In prison, and there was no one
else to aid tbe condemned.' The day
of execution came at last, nnd Cicely,
with streaming eyes, dressed her mis-
tress for the last time. The Image
of John Gaunt who had proved so
kind, so thoughtful, offering to risk his
life to please her. came up at times
before Cicely, alternating with that
of her stranger lover, John seeming
typical of hope, the stranger typical
of despair.
When ail was ready, the mournful
procession proceeded from the prison
to Tower hill, where was gathered an
Immense throng. Cicely supported her
mistress, aiding her to mount tbe steps
of the scaffold. There stood a nnulled
figure, leaning on an ax. Cicely looked
from 'her mistress to the sea of up-
turned faces, and there, among them,
was tbe sympathetic face of John
Gaunt When her eyes were turned
again to her mistress, she was kneel-
ing before the block. The muffled fig-
ure threw off his cloak, and there
stood the stranger of Tower bill!
Cicely fainted and was handed down
Into tbe arms of John Gaunt When
aha came to bsreelf, she threw her
■raw about his neck and wept
