Laid Aside Dignity.?"By the grace of
God I was born a gentleman, but I
act the prince as little as possible,"
was a favorite sajing of Emperor Joseph
II, says London Tit-Bits. Whether
his humility was sincere or not, he
certainly laid aside his dignity of station
whenever he could also lay aside
his duties as ruler of the holy Roman
empire.
In Au Couchant de la Monarchie the
Marquis de Segur tells of one occasion
when the emperor went to France to j
visit his sister. Queen Marie Antoinette.
The Parisians, accustomed to the
luxury and magnificence ut the court
of Versailles, were astonished at the
extreme simplicity that Joseph II affected.
He preferred not to be recognized
as emperor at all, and traveled, with
one or two gentlemen, or alone, under
an assumed name. Once his quick wit
alone preserved his incognito.
He had stopped for the night at an
inn, and in the morning was shaving
before a small glass, while the land1

for him. Something about the man
or his belongings had roused the girl's
curiosity and suspicion, for she presently
asked, in a respectful voice:
"Are you not connected with the
court or in the service of the emperor?"
Joseph, who saw what her questions
might lead up to, replied quickly:
"Why, certainly, my dear girl. How
did you guess? I shave him."
His ready answer, which did not
pass the bounds of truth, lulled the
girl's suspicions completely.
Watte Not, Want Not.?Gerald had
just bought a little car and in it he
was taking the girl of his heart for a
spin between tea and supper.
Proud of being able to turn a corner
without seriously damaging the
hedges, he was letting the car out a
bit. Up hill and down dale they tore
at a gallant pace.
"Oh Gerald, isn't it 1-o-vely"
chanted Hypatia, as they topped a
mighty hill and beheld the country
suread out far below them.
But she got no answer, for they
were already dashing downwards like
the stick of a rocket. Gerald with
a moist forehead and bulging eyes,
shouted in her ear:
"The brakes have give way!"
"Oh, Gerald how awful!" shrieked
the poor girl, beginning to cry. "Can't
you stop it? Oh. Gerald dear, I'd
give all the money in the world to get
out!"
Don't part with a ha'penny!"
gasped Gerald, who was of Scottish
decent. "We'll both get out for nothing
when the car hits that gate down
here!"?Philadelphia Public Ledger.
More in His Flock.?There was a certain
bishop who had a pleasant habit
of chatting with anybody he might
meet during his country walks. One
day he came across a lad who was
looking after some pigs by the road
side, and the bishop pausing to ask
him what he was doing, that being his
usual opening to conversation.
"Moindin' swoine." the lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
"Ah, is that so?" he commented
"And how much do you earn a week?"
"Two shillin's" was the reply.
"Only two shillings? remarked the
bishop. Then he continued, pleasantly,
"I, too, am a shepherd, but I get
more than two shillings."
The lad looked at him suspiciously
for a minute, then he said, slowly:
"Mebbe you get more swoine not me
to moind."?Philadelphia Ledger.
He Knew She'd Guess It.?For five
years John Henry had been keeping
company with Hannah May, but not
once in all that time had he whistled
any tune that sounded like a wedding
march. Naturally Hannah May was
beginning to feel a trifle concerned.
One evening, however, John Henry
came to the house looking as if he
might propose, and a great hope filled
the heart of the fairy one. Hope developed
into certainty when the young
man drew a small jeweler's box from
his vest pocket.
"Hannah, dear," began John Henry,
In a gentle voice, "1 have brought
you a little present, but I'm afraid it
won't fit your finger. Will you try it
on?"
"Oh. John!" ecstatically cried the
dear one, "do you really mean to say
that you have brought me?"
"Yes." was the hope killing rejoinder
of John as he handed over the box,
"a thimble. I knew you would guess
it the first time.
Old Stuff.?A few days ago we ran
across the ghost of old Doc Homer, the
well-known (among five or six) sport
historian of ancient Greece.
"Say," he said in well modulated
ringwarder accents, "can you slip
me a coupon to this next world series?"
"Sure," we answered, remembering
that the fellow once had some talent,
even if we never cared a lot for his
stuff.
"Who," asked the ancient bard,
"will probably work the opening
game?"
"It will probably be Matty against
Plank," we replied.
"Then never mind the ticket," he
came back with a poorly suppressed
yawn. "I saw enough of those two
guys in a world series when I was
sporting editor of the Grecian Bugle
4,000 years ago. I'll drop around about
I960 when there's some new stuff on
the programme."
Worse to Come.?The regular trombone
player of a Scottish orchestra
was laid up with a cold, and the conductor
reluctantly accepted the services
of a brass band amateur. Ho
was a little doubtful, however, sis to
the suitability of his substitute.
After the first performance the new
player asked the conductor how he
had done.
The conductor replied that he hsid
done pretty fairly, but that perhaps
he would do better next night.
The newcomer, eyeing him gratefully.
answered:
"Man, ye see. the music is a' strange
tae me the nicht, and I'm no' jest
shair o't yet, but you wait tae the
morn's nicht, sin' ye'll no hear me o*
thae fiddles at a'."
Crazy Indeed.?"I never saw si man

"Is he?"
"Why. would you believe it. he

FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS
French Capital Waiting Oncoming of
the Germane.
The fortifications of Paris and their
ability to resist a siege, is receiving
the close attention of military observers,
now that Paris is the announced
objective of the German forces, and
the French.ministry of war is rapidly
strengthening the city's defences.
The general character of the city's
detailed defences are well known to
military experts, who recognize them
as among the strongest fortifications
in the world.
The fortifications consist of three
distinct circles sweeping around the
ritv?first, the solid wall of masonry 5
18 feet high extending for 22 miles (
around the old sections of Paris; sec- I
ond, the system of 17 detached forts '
arranged at intervals, two miles be- }
yond the wall, and making a circuit of <
the city 34 miles long, and, third, an 1
outer girdle of forts 75 miles long. *
Each of these circles of masonry
and steel is a complete defense in it- 1
self. The wall around Paris and the 1
17 detached forts two miles beyond 'y

been greatly strengthened. The third
line of forts are of modern construction
with the latest types of batteries
and heavy guns.
The inner wall about Paris surrounds
the best known and most important
sections of the city. Outside
of the wall a circle of suburbs extends
for many miles, among which are dotted
the forts of the second and third
line of defenses, protecting them and
the approaches to the capital. The
wall contains 93 bastions and 67 gates.
The second line of forts includes the
famous fortress of Mont Varerain,
which was the center of attack in the
German siege of 1870. South of the
city is the row of forts at Ivry, Bictre,
Mont Rouge, Venves and Issy. North
and east of the city are three great i
forts around St. Denis, and two others
at Fort Aubervilliers and Fort Charenton.
commanding the approach of the
great wood of Bondy. The outer circle
of forts, of the most modern type,
have from 24 to 60 heavy guns and 600
to 1,200 men each. In all the three
lines of defense require 170,000 men
to operate them, not counting troops
assembled within the city. According i
to military experts, it would require a I
force of 500,000 men to invest these |
defenses.
General von Moltke, field marshal'
of the German forces at the time of'
the siege of Paris in 1870-71. states in
a report on that siege that the French
artillery armament consisted of more
than 2,627 pieces, including 200 of the
largest calibre of naval ordnance.
There were 500 rounds for each gun
and a reserve of 3,000,000 kilograms
of powder. Von Moltke points out
that the bombardment of a fortified
place in the heart of an enemy's country
is ditficult, if not impossible, until
tne invaaer is master ui me iau?u.?o
or waterways by which heavy siege
artillery can be brought up. He explains
the failure to bombard Paris at
the outset of the former siege by saying
it would have required 300 heavy
guns with 500 rounds for each gun.
The movement forward of these heavy
guns would have required 45.000 fourwheeled
wagons and 10,000 horses,
which were not available.
At a later stage the Germans brought
up their big siege guns, attacking the
enciente and ports and dropping 300
to 400 15-centimeter shells daily into
the heart of the city. Notwithstanding
the fury of the German attack,
Paris withstood the siege for 132 days.
Since then the entirely new and outer
third line of defense has been erected
and military experts say the fortifications
as a whole are far more formidable
than those which resisted the
former siege.

rifles in recent years and now these

2,000 yards and the bullets will carry
much further than that distance. Generally

is leaving out the long Lee-Enfield
rifle which is used by a part of the
British army. Since 1906 it has been
gradually replaced by a shorter wea
pon, and now the long Lee-Entteiu is
used by the soldiers of the second line
of defense. That rifle weighs nine
pounds four ounces, and with the bayonet
attached it weighs 10 pounds
3 1-2 ounces.
With the bayonet attached the Austrian
gun is the lightest, weighing a
quarter of an ounce less than nine
pounds, and the French soldier again
has to carry the heaviest, his piece
with bayonet weighing 10 pounds 11-2
ounces.
These rifles all have magazines. The
French is a tube through which the
cartridges pass to the shooting chamber,
and the others have a box or a
charge fltted to the gun just under the
stock and in front of the trigger
guard. This charge on the Mauser
and the Mannlicher holds Ave cartridges,
and with one shot in the barrel
the soldier has six bullets ready for
use to be discharged as fast as he can
pull the trigger. The French carry in
the tube eight cartridges and the British
in their magazines carry ten cartrifl
The British use the shortest ritle. It
measures three feet S.5 inches and is
live inches shorter than the rifle used
until after the Boer war, which measured
four feet 1.4 inches. The Austrian
ritle is next, four feet two inches,
and then comes the Belgian, four feet
2.25 inches; the Russian, four feet
3.8 inches, and the French, four feet
3.12 inches. The difference in length
between the short British and the
French arm is a fraction over seven
inches and the French ritle is an inch
and three-quarters longer than the
German.
With the bayonet attached the
French rille measures a fraction under
six feet, or to be exact, five feet
11.84 inches. This may give them an
advantage in close fighting. The German
ritle with bayonet attached measures
live feet 9.75 inches, or a fraction
over two inches shorter than the
French weapon. The Russian arm
mpsisiirps five feet nine inches, the
British five feet 1.7 inches, the Belgian
four feet 11.75 inches and the Austrian
four feet 11.5 inches. This shows
that the French bayonet is the longest.
being 20.72 inches, th 20.61 inches
the British and Russian 17.2 inches,
the Belgian 0.5 inches and the Austrian
the shortest, 0.2 inches.
The Germans were the lirst to use
the pointed or Spltzer bullet as it is
called. This was in 1005, and France
followed the German example at once.
Its advantage is that it tlattens the
trajectory and increases consequently
the danger space. The German cartridge
measures 3.22 Inches with the
round bullet and 3.13 inches with the
pointed bullet and the weights are
413 and 360.0 grains respectively, fhe
British use a round bullet and the

weighs 441 grains; the Russian measures
3.015 inches and weighs 424
grains, and the Austrian measures
three inches and weighs 455 grains.
Austria, Belgium, France and Germany
use nitroglycerine as an explosive;
Britain uses cordite and Russia
pyroxiline. In the British cartridge
there is 15.5 grains of cordite; in the
Belgian and Austrian 19.7 grains of
nitroglycerine. Germany and France
use 17.75 grains of nitroglycerine,
and Russia 17.47 grains of pyroxiline.
The muzzle velocity varies considerably.
The greatest is that of the German
ritle with the pointed bullet,
which is 2,882 feet a second, and with
a round bullet 2,093 feet a second.
The French rille has a muzzle velocity
of 2,380 feet a second with the
pointed bullet and 2,073 feet a second
with a round bullet. The muzzle velocity
of the British rille is 2,069, of
the Belgiam and Austrian rilles 2,034
and the Russian 1,985 feet a second.?

ANALYSIS OF MILITARISM
It is a System that Does not Commend
Itself to Common Sense.
A picture for which we will have to
wait for history to furnish the key is
drawn by Dr. Charles E. Jefferson,
dealing with the spectacle of this century's
militaristic display. "Delusion,"
he calls It, for the article was
written before the war clouds rose
above the Servian horizon. Now the
significance of everything is changed,
but the details that make up the picture
still have their salience. He notes
in the role of the historian of the future,
the preparations made for war
ever since the century began, especially
among the nations which confessed
allegiance to the Prince of Peace. He
seer that these "preparations were
carried forward with tremendous energy
and enthusiasm, and that the air
was filled with prophetic vices picturing
national calamities and predicting
bloody and world embracing conflicts."
Alongside this fact the historian of
the future will find another fact no
less conspicuous and universal, that
everybody of importance in the early
years of the twentieth century was
an ardent champion of peace. In the
Christian Century, Dr. Jefferson con
tinues:
"He will find incontestable evidence
that the king of England was one of
the truest friends of peace who ever
sat on the English throne, that the
German emperor proclaimed repeatedly
that the cause of peace was ever
dear to his heart, that the president of
the United States was so effective a
peacemaker that he won a prize for
ending a mighty war, that the czar of
Russia was so zealous in his devotion
to peace that he called the nations to
meet in solemn council to consider
measures for ushering in an era of
universal amity and good will, and
that the president of France, the king
of Italy, and the mikado of Japan were
not a whit behind their royal brethren
in offering sacrifices on the altar of
the Goddess of Peace. A crowd of royal
peacemakers in words surcharged
with thoughts and threats, of war, a
band of lovers strolling down an avenue
which they themselves had lined
with lyddite shells and twelve inch
guns, this will cause our historian to
rub his eyes.
His bewilderment, however, will
reach the climax when he discovers
that it was after the establishment of
an international court that all nations
voted to increase their armaments.
Everybody conceded that it was better
to settle international disputes by reason
rather than by forces, but as soon
as the legal machinery was created by
means of which the swords could be
dispensed with, there was a fresh fury
to perfect at once all the Instruments
of destruction. After each new peace
conference there was a fresh cry for
more guns. Our historian will read
with gladness the records of The
Hague conference, and of the laying
of the foundation of a periodic Con[
gress of Nations, and of a permanent
high court. He will note the neutralisation
nf Switzerland. Belerium and
Norway; the compact entered Into by
the countries bordering on the North
sea, to respect one another's territorial
rights forever; the agreement of
the same sort solemnly ratified by all
the countries bordering on the Baltic;
the signing of more than sixty arbitration
treaties, twelve of these by the
senate of the United States; the creation
of an International Bureau of
American Republics, embracing twenty-one
nations; the establishment of a
Central American High Court; the
elaboration and perfection of legal instruments
looking toward the parliament
of man, the federation of the
world.
He will also note that while these
splendid achievements of the peace
spirit were finding habitation and a
name, the nations were thrilled as
never before by dismal forebodings
and the world was darkened by whispers
of death and destruction. While
the Palace of Peace at The Hague was
being built, nations hailed the air-ship
as a glorious Invention, because of the
service it could render to the cause of
war. This unprecedented growth of
peace sentiment, accompanied by a
constant increase of jealousy and suspicion,
of fear and panic, among the

torian to work to ascertain the meaning
of this strange phenomenon, the
most singular perhaps to be met with
in the entire history of the world.
Peace was seen to be the one supreme
blessing of the world, but to
preserve the peace it was necessary to
prepare for war. This lay at the centre
of the policy of the twentieth century.
Xo guns were asked to kill

safeguards of peace. Xo battleships

were preservers of peace. Collossal
armies and gigantic navies were exhibited
as a nation's ornaments?beautiful
tokens of its love of peace. And
following thus the Angel of Peace, the
nations increased their armaments until
they spent upon them over $2,000,
000 every year, and had amassed national
debts aggregating $35,000,000,000.
The expenditure crushed the
poorest of the nations and crippled
the richest of them, but the burden
was gladly borne, because it was a
sacritice for the cause of peace. Tt
was pathetic and thrilling testimony
of the human's heart's hatred of war
and longing for peace, when the nations
became willing to bankrupt
themselves in the effort to keep from
lighting.
The militarist is comic in his seriousness.
He says that if you want to
keep the peace you must prepare for
war. and yet he knows that where
men prepare for war by carrying
bowie-knives, pence is a thing unheard
of. and that where every man is armed
with a revolver the list of homicides
is longest.?Literary Digest.

LIFE
IT CAN BE A SUCCESS OR A FAILURE.
WHICH WILL IT BE WITH
YOU? ? ? ??????
Look at the men who are successful
in the eyes of the world. Ninety-nine
out of every hundred started a Rank
Account when they were young?and
stuck to it.
And now, look at the failures. Very
few of them have a Bank account now.
Not speaking of when they were young.
Perhaps you think you have not
enough money to start an account.
Haven't you a dollar? That's all it takes
at THIS BANK.
Just try it for a year or six months.
If you do not wish to continue it yon
have lost nothing by the trial.
Which Will It Be?Success or Failure?
IT'S UP TO YOU.

To bring a bunch of Good Horses
and mules to this market at this sea
son of the year was very much of an
experiment. We did not expect to do
' mu h business, but thought we would
' give it a trial. The business has been
; very surprising. We have made sever1
al sales and quite a number of trades.
We still have several nice animals and
' would be pleased to talk "Horse" to

The REVILLE
In the army the soldiers are waked
in the morning by the blowing of the
Reville, on a bugle. Some wag has
said that the bugle says. "I can't get
'em up; I can't get 'em up; I can't
get 'em up this morning." There Is
a greater army than Uncle Sam's
standing army that is awakened every
morning by the Reville. sounded by
"BIG BEN" ALARM CLOCKS and
this big army has to get up to shut
o(T the strident voice of BIG BEN;
because If he is not CHOKED he
keeps right on the job until somebody
moves. Buy a BIG BEN and Join
the army of "Get-Ups."

Regarding the
Monument
The Monument Is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time?beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span of life. It may
help to form a record, but it is erected
as a tribute of love to those who
have passed "to that bourne from
whence no traveler ever returns." As
sucn, lei 11 Ut5 it mills Ul ucaui;, jn/i
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sorrow,
but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception of beauty.
