Calvin Crozier was on his way to I
I his Texas home, after the surrender of 1
L the Confederacy, and was delayed in
jl|B Newberry, where he was compelled t
^^Vto stay on the night of Septenber S, i
1865. There were several ladies un- j
tier his care, and they all decided, for t
? want of better accommodations, * to 1
p spend the night in a freight car whictt
F was at the station. Dnring the night j
7 some negro soldiers intruded, making t
themselves obnoxious to the ladies.
They refused to leave :when Crozier
requested them to do so, whereupon
. a difficulty ensued in which one of
the negro troopers was slightly cut.

[ just come in, and whom they mistook 1
a for the man who had injured a mem- *
f ber of their command. They were 1

REGULATE SEDITIOUS PAPERS
Postmaster General Promises to Rigidly
Enforce The Law?Has Wide
Discretion
Washington, Sept. 25.?The death
warrant of seditious newspapers was
signed today. The house finally pass)d
the trading-with-the-enemy act,
giving Postmatesr General Burleson
ilmost unlimited powers for the suppression
of treasonable publications.
"I shall enforce the law,"* Mr.
3urleson said. "I shall enforce it so
V.O+ r n/ifir*n will slwnvs r>athft

of a court. The law cornnands
me to root out the treasonable

iTOien the attention of the Dostmas-1

posed in him by the bill, Ik declared;
;hese great powers would be used
vith the greatest discretion.
"Only the paper that does not com>ly

strenuous opposition was raised by
hooper, of Wyoming, and others over
naking the measure affect all foreign
pnguage papers instead of merely
Jerman papers and permitting it to
nclude the beaten censorship law of
he original espionage act.
Provisions of the Law
The measure first requires foreign
anguage papers to file affidavits with
>ostmasters m tneir cities containing
ranslations of all articles in any way
nentioning the United States government
or any Of its allies in conlection
with the war. It stipulates
hat each article shall be prefaced
vith a translation into English.
"Any print, newspaper or publicaibn
in any foreign laguage," the new
neasuce says, "which does no conform

Opponents of these two sections,
idopted by the conferees, made their j
ight a preliminary one Neither
;ection was in the bill as it passe;!
;he house or the senate originally.
Speaker Clark overruled the points

REMARKABLE CURES MAL>
7 .
Soldier Who Was Struck Dumb at
Front Regained Speech Through
His Own Effort Alone.
There have been many remarkable
cures of soldiers during the present
war, including men who, through shock
have lost the powers of sight or of
hearing or of speech. One man, struck
flumb at Mons, was suddenly cured by
putting his hand unconsciously on a
very hot water-pipe. Another regained
both speech and hearing while laughing
at a moving-picture show. A third,
by no means the least interesting, regained
his speech through his own deliberate
effort. The doctor told him
before leaving Boulogne that only his
own effort could cure him. He suggested
that he keep on shaping his
mouth as though pronouncing the vowels.
The man persevered, and one
night suddenly found he could speak.
He kept on talking to himself all night,
lest he should lose the power again.
His fears were unfounded, and he
was completely cured. It is all very
curious. The need for the patient's
own deliberate effort is certainly suggestive.
It calls to miad the case of
mors fhes withprf?d BV
luc; iuua vvxcxa iitv
his own effort was he healed. By attempting
things in faith, slumbering
powers are wakened to new life.?Exchange.

Food Economy.
The advice of Herbert C. Hoover re-1
garding food economy is superfluous tc
certain denizens of the Bronx in New
York. It was on an express subwaj
train to that borough that one underground
commuter read with seeming
irreverence the rnles for saving the
odd ends in the kitchen.
" 'Keep the ice box clean,'" he read
to a companion. "Why, say, my ice
box is cleaned out every night before
I even get a whack at it, and I have
to send out to the delicatessen foi
py dinner. And look at these rules
for economy. Take it from me
there'^ only one way to ecpnomize
these days. Send the wife and th?
young 'uns oe. a visit to the kinfolks,
put the dog on half rations and gc
home for dinner with anybody whe
asks you."
Soldiers Fool Bootblacks.

Three invalid soldiers in wneei i
r?airs propelled themselves rapidly j
hroush a crowded railway station
lore to a bootblack stand and denanded
that their shoes be shlned in a
lurry. Three bootblacks rushed forvard,
pulled aside the coats thrown
>vtn* th^ laps of the soldiers, and found
h;it tv.'o of the men had no legs, while
he third had only one. The soldiers
ai:r:hed uproariously, the crowd jcinng
in the demonstration of mirth.?

COLLIDED WTH A BUMBLEBEE 1
Aviator Finds There Are Other Things
Besides Airplanes That it Is Not
Safe to Encounter in the Air. j
1
Birds and airplanes are not the onlj?
flying things with which it is possibly
for an aviator to have a serious col?
lision. The author of "Tales of the!
Flying Service" gives as an Instance
a strange accident that occurred in
Trance.
Not long ago, he says, I ran across
an aviator I know, looking very much,
annoyed and with one eye seriously]
obstructed by a large contused swell*
j ing on his cheekbone. Thinking that|
I he had had a smash of some kind,
i probably a bad landing in wThicii he
had been pitched against the front of
his machine, I asked him what had
happened.
He explained that about six hours
! earlier he was starting out on a fastj
biplane, and was going full speed]
en the ground In order to get a goodj
Jump Into the air, when he met a large-,
sized bumblebee going in a hurry in'
the opposite direction.
"You see," he explained, "I was do-.
ing about sixty knots due east, and
he was doing between thirt^five and
forty knots due west, and he was a|
large bee, and the impact was something
terrific. And," he added vindictively,
"I hope he has spilled all
his honey and that he's still unconscious!"?Youth's
Companion.
Hard to Endure. ^
"I see where a woman got a d!vo??e
because her husband rouged his ^
cheeks."
She was entitled to it.
"Maybe so. It inust be exasperat-.
