There are few living generals who
lhave been called upon to command
.more than 100,000 men in time of peace,
{but that lot has recently fallen to the
German cavalry general, Count Von
,Haescler. He is the commanding gen-
icral of the Sixteenth army corps. sin-
;itioned at Metz, and he was intrusted
'with the chief command during the
recent army maneuvers, which ‘took
-place on ground made memorable by
.the conflict of 1870-71. The maneuvers
'lasted more than a week, and four com-
plete army corps. an entire cavalry di~

Start-ed Too High.
in her book, “The Last of the Great
Scouts,” his sister relates this story of
“1311111110 Bill’s” visit to a little church
he had helped to build at North Platte:
His wife and sister were in the con-
gregation, and this ought to have not
only kept him awake, but it should
have insured perfect decorum on his
part. The opening hymn commenced
with the words: “011, for ten thousand
tongues to sing,” etc. The organist,
who played “by ear,” started the tune
in too high a key to be followed by the
choir and congregation, and had to try
again. A second attempt ended, like
the first, in failure. “Oh, for ten thou-
sand fongues to sing, my blcst—”
came the opening words for the third
time, followed by :1 squeak from the
organ and a relapse into painful silence.
Will could contain himself no longer,
and blurted out: “Start it of fin thou-
sand, and mebbe some of the 1 cs1' of us
can get in."
_Crimlnalléf of Animals.
A writer in Forest and Stream says
that the criminal iezzrlency is manifest»
ed to a greater or less extent by all
the lower animals, and ‘11-: has compiled
a list of 18 crimes which rrc commonly
committed by birds. beast». or reptiles.
The indictment includes murder, par-
ricide, fratricide. suicide, theft. kid-
nnping, highway robbery. polygamy
and drunkenness.

Dr. Kilmer’sSwamp-Root is not rec-
ommended for everything but if you have kid-

MALTREATED STORE CLERKs.
They Are Subjected to Great Injustice
by Thoughtiens “Vomen
Shoppers.
The reputation which some large.
stores get for being disobliging to their
customers or having uncivil clerks
could in the majority of cases be traced
directly back to the shoppers them-
selves, writes Edward Bok in Ladies’
Home Journal. I make no claim of
perfection for the clerks who stand be-
hind the counters of 0171' great stores
where. women shop. 'l‘hcy are only
common mortals, full of faults. But,
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure at the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obliging. If the truth could be known
it would be found that they suffer far
more than they inflict sufi'ering. If the
roll could be called of hard-working,
innocent girls who have lost their posi-
tions because of ill-founded complaints
made by “influential” customers whose
accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, it would be a roll of disgrace to
American shoppers. The girls behind
the counter are human—although from
the actions of some women we might
believe otherwise—human in their
faults, but also in their finer feelings.
Very often they represent better fam-
ilies, better breeding, than that which
is revealed to them from the other side
of the counter. ,-
