fiumotouj Iltpartmcnt ; I t*f When Lincoln was still an insignificant country lawyer he had occasion to travel to a small town to ' take charge of a case. It was a drive ' of some fourteen miles from the rail- ! way station to the town inn where he ' was to spend the night Wet and ' < hilled to the bone, he arrived at last, ' * " * " onlo a umull * I)UI TO ni?

At length one of the group turned to Lincoln; "Pretty cold, eh?" he asked. "Yes," replied Lincoln, "as cold as ' it is hot in Hades." "Ever been to Hades, stranger?" asked another. "Yes," replied Lincon solemnly. This raised a faint smile among the other lawyers. "What does it look like there?" they ' asked. * "Very much like this," said Lincoln, dryly; "all the lawyers nearest the fire."?St. Ixiuis Democrat. Two impecunious Scotsmen trav- ; ling in search of gold, came upon a drinking saloon. They had only six- i pence between them, so they ordered i one "nip o' whisky." They were hesitating who should have the lirst drink, when an "auld" acquaintance joined them. Pretending they had Just drunk, one of them 1 handed the newcomer the whisky, re- > questing him to join them in a drink. I He drunk, and. after a few minutes i of painful and silent suspense, said: I "No. boys, you'll have one with me." ' "Wusna that well managed, mon?" ' said one to his pal afterward. 1 "Aye, it was," said the other, sol- ' emnly, "but it was a dreadful risk!"? 1 New York World. 1 to The difference, not merely of , degree. but of kind, which is supposed to separate the English rector from the inferior order of curates is amusingly exemplified in the following: Iteturning to his parish after his autumn holiday, a dignified country clergyman noticing a woman at her cottage door with a baby in her arms, asked: "Has that baby been baptized?" "Well, sir," replied the curtsying mother. "I shouldn't like to say as much as that, but your man came and did as much as he could."?New York American. .ti "l'h-huh!" a trifle grimly replied tiie landlord of the Petunia tavern to the horse-faced guest who lied just stated in an uncompromising tone and at considerable length his desires as tit apartment and service.

Lord Northcllffe, at a farewell dinner, expressed his admiration for 1 American hustle. ' "On a train the other day," he said, ' f| "j^heard dialogue that brought out I' your hustling qualities beautifully. " 'I'm from Ashton,' said a man. 'Finest little town in the middle west!'

" 'Oh. well.* said the Ashtonlan, you ought to see her now!'"?Judge. A Woman's Bargain.?A Brooklyn business man who was detained at the house for a part of the day, handed his wife, who was going downtown, a quarter of a dollar and requested her to get him three cigars for it. When she returned she handed him the package, remarking exultantly: "That shows that women can beat men all hollow when it comes to making pu^-hascs. I found a place where I could get eight for a quater instead of three. Isn't that going some?" And the poor man, as he took his medicine, merely remarked: , "It certainly Is. dear."?Brooklyn Eagle. .tv A young gentleman took his little sister while calling the other evening at a house where he Is a regular visitor.

That the Frenchman who has once >een numbered among the enemies of lociety can, at his country's call, show is much heroism and as fine a quality >f chivalry as his brother poilu who ias never sidestept from the narrow l>ath of rectitude, is the conclusion irrived at by Paul Ayers Rockwell. rtafT correspondent of the Chicago I>stily News, who tells of the exploits jf that battalion of men who are wiping out their crimes against the laws of France by heroic fighting for their country. Rascals, assassins, if you will, but hard fighters, though difficult to handle when not engaged In warfare. Rockwell writes; Henry de Forge tells in the Exceldor a touching story of the Hattalion J'Afrique, that heroic corps of beardless youths who made mistakes in civilian life but are wiping clean the slate of the past by fighting and dying gallantly for their country. I like this story so well, because It Is so true to life, that I translate it here: "This calm and gentle man, whose young face, smoothly shaved as the visage of a priest, smiles from under mow white hair; this man, who is the | chief, nevertheless, of violent troops, ' the most terrible to lead that are, spoke of them with pride, a sort of pride of a father. " 'Yes; rascals, robbers, assassins, outcasts,' he said. 'It Is a battalion of ucursed ones, but a hard-fighting battalion, I assure you. It is difficult to manage them when they are at repose Tor when they are not occupied they ommit a thousand stupidities. Thus they almost never have a rest. But under fire there are no finer troops in the world, and I love these men, whom I know how to make listen to me,* "The officer, t'ommandant H , pointed out the groups. " Look at their faces. Are they liadlooking? The uniform, fortunately, sets these lads off a little. But in what state they come back each time from the combat! one would say [hey have a homesickness to be badly Jrest. What's the difference! , . They have the pride of their poverty, one can depend upon them " Listen. This is the latest advenlure of the third company. I find it dngularly symbolic of the state of mind of these men, and I guarantee the story's authenticity: " This company was in line at forty meters from the German trenches. Jften, as you know, the enemy finds it pleasing to put in line troops of the tind that he has before him: dragoons (gainst dragoons, chasseurs against rhasseurs, troupes d' elite against coupes d" elite. lorwuru. n ?u? u. irrvciuu* ira;, a fray with knives to take the officer, who was only wounded and who was trying to crawl away.

He was living again those poignant moments.

In an Interesting communication to he National Georgaphtc society. Papain Andre de Berroeta, of the French viation service, now on duty with he French military mission to Amerl- a -jt ..... a, traces the development of the air- th< nan's duties since the beginning of mi he world war. A part of Captain de ho ?erroeta's> communication is issued by as he society as the following bulletin on >f its war geography series: tin "The preparation, conduct, and re- frc lults of an offensive military operaion in Europe bear but a faint re- ^ semblance to those of a battle at the ^ >eginrdng of hostilities. ^ "The extraordinary effective apidi- ^ ation of aircraft to the use of wai re| las greatly accelerated this radical (h( ransiormation. Today aviation reigns on :iipreme over the field of battle. ^ -ontrolling the faintest pulsations of :he great volcano. . "The object of the present discussion is to trace the various phases of its no volution and, although it would be ^ particularly bold to prophesy in the tt?' natter or military operations, to stig- ^ jest the decisive influence for victory hat the entrance of the American *? cm ?iuadrons on the French front may _ L'V lave. "There are, at the prc-sent time, 0 three branches of aviation which differ ji the duties performed, in the ma- 0 :hine used, and in the armament proiii ret tided. wi "These are: "1. The divisional or reconnais- 111 sance aviation, a valuable ally of the lrtr itaff it serves, of the batteries whose on Irlng it directs, of the Infantry it as- ch iists in leading during the battle. "2. The aviation of combat, young- wi ^r sister of the first and the most faithful ally she has for her protec- ";rT ipn from the aggressions of hostile ilrplanes. 'Attack the Boche. down > ilm, or compel him to flee,' is its clear- pa y offensive motto. "3. The aviation of bombardment, jze iltherto chiefly employed in reprisals ? or the aerial raids of the enemy, but tow called to a much greater and erhaps a decisive role. "Although essentially distinct, these tranches of aviation can only be of- i 'actively employed by the constnnt o-ordination of their efforts. "I/Ct us consider the conditions and nfluences attending their birth and levclopmcnt and the roles they are to lay in the battles of tomorrow, in | vhlch your sons and brothers are to mrticipate. "When the war was declared the hief strength of the French anil Oernan armies lay in the masses of their nfantry, in the power of their nrtilery. and in the skill of their cavalry, lowever. it seemed the part of wislotn to put the few hundred airplanes ve possessed at the service of the ighting forces, in order to facilitate he success of their undertakings. The flfensive strength of both the French ind (Jerman squadrons was very small | n comparison with the millions of 1 -ombatants ready to clash with each 1 >ther, supported by the tire of several j housand cannon. "But these airplanes possessed the Kower of exploring the field of battle o an extent far beyond that of the avalry, for which this delicate and langerous duty had hitherto beea relerved. To them, accordingly, from he beginning of the war, was intrust d the observation of the movements m >f the hostile armies. I "During the whole period, termed he 'war movement,' that is to say. unit the battle of. the Mnrne, the "rcnch commanders were kept promptv tnfnrmprf of tHa mnuamonta of thp r|" wvriu> CW WF vm 'WW VnVCl?oT TrT^TTT German forces, thanks to the daring reconnaissances of our pilots, who, accompanied by staff officers, made flights far within the line of the enemy and at a low altitude, in the rear of hostile forces. The aviation of reconnaissance was thus crented during the first days of hostilities. "'One morning we relieved the Allans. It was not long before the 1 >nemy found out who was facing hint, ' ind my men were not delayed in see- 1 ng appear above the enemy trenches, 1 (o near, placards with insulting in- f icriptions written in French: Beware of pickpockets!" " 'And other friendly remarks of tfls kind exasperated my lads. There- f 'ore, we had a devilish trouble in ( tolding them back, and each night ( hey sllpt out and prowled around the , wire entanglement of the Germans, who dodged showing themselves. " 'A new placard notified us: You will soon have some one to talk to." " 'Throe days later, surely enough, information was given us that we had facing us a battalion of the guard. " 'Acclamations greeted this news. For one time the enemy had not sought to pair off his troops with ours. '"In face of the vagabonds, the poverty-stricken, the undesirables, was the tine flower of the Teuton nobility. We were going to laugh. " 'After several days of calm an inscription appeared above the German trench in red letters, very readable. . upon a white board. It bore this stinging phrase: We have before us the scum of France. It is not with rifles that we , will come to seek you; it will be with lashes." " My men shrugged their shoulders. Hut they were nervous. I felt that , another provocation of that kind was going to be dearly paid for. i " 'All the night, from one part to , another, the trench engines did not , cease firing. Vengeance does not wait long, with the "Joyeux." i "'At dawn, suddenly a human form emerged from in front and stood erect in the midst of the wires, with i strange temerity. i " 'My soldiers did not fire. They wished to see what was coming, to see i well. i " 'It was an officer of the guard. < very young, with the face or an adolescent. " "He had his sleeves rolled up. No weapon. In his hand only a lash as we had been forewarned. " 'Two rifle-shots then struck down the imprudent fellow, who rolled out Into the free zone between the lines of wire entanglements. "From the two sides men rushed Air Service Development. "The number of aircraft in use was so small that a hostile airplane was rarely encountered in the course of these reconnoiterlng expeditions. If || adversaries did chance to meet, all the L pilots could do was to shake their lists at each other or discharge their revolvers without the slightest chance ? of hitting. It was. however, from these gestures that aerial combat took Its birth, the histdry of which will remain as one of the most brilliant epics of the present war. "Taking advantage of their excursions within the lines of the enemy, the pilots carried with them a few artillery projectiles which they dropped on hostile assemblages, camps or columns. Such was the beginning of aerial bombardment, which, at that epoch, was left to the initiative of each pilot. The bombs were thrown without aiming, over the edge of the cockpit, and it was counted a lucky shot when the projectile hit the intended I target. Moreover, the airplanes of > this period were not capable of carry- ]k ing heavy loads; so that the pilots, as fl a rule, had to be satisfied with small w steel arrows, which they dropped up- 1 Dn the enemy wherever the> found them assembled in Inrge groups." Dominick Did It. ? Congressman Fred. H. Dominick, of the Third district. has been receiving the congratulations of his friends upon his success in having the bond bill amended in the house, by striking out section 5, thereby saving to the tax-payers of South Carolina and other states of the union millions of dollars. This is a distinct victory for the third district representative, and his friends are re- i joicing over his success. ^ Section 5 of the bond bill which under the amendment offered by Congressman Dominick would have been eliminated, granted to national and state banks exemption from tax on that portion of thoir capital stock invested in government bonds. In his ^ argument, in support of the amend- . inent to strike out this section, Mr. ^ Dominick pointed out the fact that the ri passage of the bill as originally drawn ^ would deprive the states, counties and school districts of the country of ? millions of dollars in taxes and that this deficit would bgvo to be made up , by the Individual taxpayers. He ar- " sued further that practically all of the legislatures of the country bad _ met and adjourned for the year and F the financial budgets of the various 4 4 la tea had been made up and that the passage of the bill would cause untold confusion In financing these (? rtates during the coming year. A vote on the amendment offered by Congressman Domtnlck resulted in the defeat of the amendment on Sat- jf] irday of last vre#k. but a reconsiders- Jg ion of the bill by the ways and ? . means committee and the house on P' Wednesday completely changed the itatua of affairs, the bill being so (.mended as to coincide practically C< vith the views expressed by Mr. Dora- gf nick in his speech before the house, [ he ways and means committee of the touse and the secretary and treasury rere -unanimous In support of the bill s originally drafted, and the fact that 5 bill wa* reconsidered by thl? comttce and afterwards passed by the use with the amendment practically offered by Congressman Iaominick Saturday.
