Cold Blooded -Murders by Soldier* That -Were Inspired by Malice or a Spirit of Revenge -Marshal Bowline Nearly Met This Fate. Tragic indeed is every incident con- nected with the battlefield, but more so are some of the mysterious occurrences which have ()Mimes taken place during a campaign and which might be put down us cold blooded murders. It seems a very unlikely thing that in the heat of a hard fought conflict the origin of a man's death cnu be determined -that is to say, Nvb ether_ he died by the hands of one of his comrades or by those of the encrust: consequently men, with a grievance against their officers have often made use of such opportunities to wipe off old scores and have gone undiscovered. A notable instance of fhis occurred just" _ before the Wipe of Woerth in the Fran- co-Prussian N ur. A certain offieer of con- siderable repute had got himself . gener- ally disliked by his perseverance in bully- ing those under , him. A few days before this, the first -great battle of the war, when the French were nearing tho border in their hopeless endeavor to reach Ber- lin, a rennet' ran through the camp late :It night that the Prussians were ad- re:icing and would shortly be up. In- : taut:y eandemoniam reigned, aud scont- he; perfies were sent out in all directions. Oot, of these was under the officer in question, and when some way from camp INV ns fired upon, the bullet bringing hiin ['own. The Frenchmen, thinking they had , et into an ambush, retired, firing at an i!:visible foe as they (lid so, but as no fee:titer shots ware received they grew . Oiurageons, again end, after being re-eu- &weed, advanced to the fatal spot. The body of the officer was found, but not so that et his assailant. who had evidently esea ped unscathed. On returning to the camp it was found that no trace of the enemy had been 418 - covered. In fact, at that time the Prus- sians were far awny from the spot en the other sideof the Woerth. Aeeerdingly a peat mortem examination was loot& on the offieer's body and a French service bullet extracted thevefrom, but the murderer was never detected, although he was doubtless in the camp and itad slipped . out unawares to commit the evime. But this is only one of the many trage- dies which took Place during the war, end it is said that at least 2 per cent of the French officers killed fell by the hands of their own men and a little over half that number in the Prussian army. In the former instance the crimes were due for the most part to the national fail- ing of neyer forgetting a grievance and ih the latter to the rigidity of discipline, which sometimes amounts to bullying. Even Marshal Bazaine was nearly mur- dered before he capitulated at Metz. Ho was hy no means a popular mad, and on this account always stood iu dread of the assassin, and his fears were not lessened when a plot was discovered to put poison in his food, the scheme being hatched by his own men. The offenders, or some of them, were promptly tried and shot before many hours were over. A rather sad case iS recorded in con- nection with the Italian disaster at Ado - wale During the melee a man was seen to shoot in the direction of his captain, who at the same time • fell mortally wounded. When the battle was over, the limn was charged with the crime and, after a sant trial, shot by his comrades, despite his protests of innocence, one of the chief reasons for his .condemnation - being that he was known to have a griev- ance egainst , the officer. Nevertheless the affair was soon forgotten till some nine months afterward, when a sold* came forward from the same reginselit, - self charged with the crime. He related the facts in detail, giving his motive as petty tyranny on the part of the after some years previously, when he, the murderer, was a recruit, and stated that he would never have given himself up had not another man died ia his Stead. Needless to say, this did net excuse him, and he perished in the prison yard at Na- ples. In 1899 three Spanish soldiers were ex- ecuted at Madrid for the alleged murder of an officer during the hostilities in -Cu- ba, although the evidence against them was very meager: Sufficient was it that subsequent to the battle of San Juan the officer was found dead some way from the battlefield, with a Mauser bullet in hie brain, and the three men referred to were seen in the vicinity at abant the time the affair must have taken place. Of course, they may have been justly condemned, as tragedies of this nature were especially frequent in the Spanish army throughout the 'war, but at the, same time the authorities failed to take into account that there were many so, called "loyal" Cubans attachedt.the Spanish forces and also present at San Juan who had been given Mauser rifles and ammunition by their oppressors, hut whose dislike to Spanish officers was pro- verbial. Although such crimes are more cone - mon in the • majority of continental ar- mies than in our own, we must not im- agine that similar mases have never taken place in Which Tommy Atkins has partic- ipated. In the Zulu war, just prior to the battle ef lUlundi, a young lieutenant in one of the line regiments was found shot some way from camp, and after the campaign a soldier on his deathbed at Devonport confessed to ,having been his "E. & D.

Now what Rev. Gunsanlus didn't know about a horse wonld fill a» large volume, and, as might have been expected, he fell into the hands of the Philistines. He saw nothing wiong with the horse, however. He had told the man of whom he had bought it that he was not used to riding, and so wanted a quiet animal, and in this respeet, at least, the horse fully came up to the requirements. Oue day Rev. Gunsaulue' father came tie vieit him, and the horse was proudly shown to him. Gunsaulus pare looked the horse over carefully. " Well, Frank," he said at last, "he isn'b much on looks, is he ?" "No." answered Frank, "but then, you know, father, the Saviour rode a horse that was anything but handsome." " Yes, I've heard that," said the olti man, reflectively.

One of the fiercest and most determined fighters in the civil war was General N. B. Forrest, commanding the Confeder4e cavalry. His name was a redoubtable one, - and few of his opponents were awiere of a humorous side of his disposition familiar to his friends_ For many years the general loved to teil the story of in incident ' which oceirrred near Cowlfue's Station. The few troopers lie had with him We're being hotly pursued by the Federals, and the general was galloping along at top speed. A fiery senthern dame happened to be standing by the roadside, and when she saw the dying Confederate Officer her indigmation boiled over. Shaking her fist in scorn. she. smarmed: "Wky don't you tarn and fight, you cowardly rascal? If old Forrest were, here. he'd make you tight!" Portemately 'tho general's horse soonl carried hem out of range+ Ferrest`s biography relates that once at a dinner party, where he had been In. Netted as Wee guest of honor, filer° was a loestaeiesse widow, with hair :of raven black, whet rudely interrupted the con- versation by asking General Forrest why It was that his beard was still black while his hair was turning gray. With great politeness Forrest turned to her. "1 fear I cannot give you a satisfactory, answer," said he, "unless poseibly the mass)* is that I have used my brain a lit- tle more than I have my jaw." In the midst of one of his campaigns a captured Federal chaplain WAB brou.ght to hie headquarters. The man showed the deepest anxiety and depression, for the stories of General Foerest's severity were rite in the Union camp. A little later supper was announced, and Forrest, to the chaplain's surprise, invited him to share it. But his surprise geew to amaze- ment when the general turned to him reverently and said: "ramose will yen please ask the bless - He Is a Wonder. All who see Mr. C. F.

Wing Lung, the proprietor of a flout - falling laundry, had a watch which habit- ually lost tinae, so, watch in hand, he hied him to the nearest watchmaker. "Watchee no good to Wing Lung now," he said briefly, shoving his property across the counter. "You fix him." "What's the matter with itr asked the watchnsaker. "Oh, watchee too muck by 'n by," said Wing Lung as he took his leave without further waste of words. -Kansas City I adepend Oat. MARRIAGE LICENSES • A Mat and Rug Maker Speaks of DIAMOND DYES. SHE WOULD NOT USE ANY OTHER The best, and most successful makers of homemade carpets, mats and floor rugs use the Diamond Dyes to color their rage, yarns and warps. Every home dyer knows well that the Diamond Dyes give the fastest and brightest colors, and are the simplest dyes to use. Mrs. A. Y. Field, Bathurst St., Toronto, nays :-" During the last ten years I have made many mats and rugs from wool and cotton rags and coarse yarns. The dyeing of de rags and yarns I have always done with Diamond Dyes, as they give the richest and strongest colors. I am fully convinced that the Diamond Dyes are the safest and cheapest for all who make carpets, mats and rugs.

LONDON'S MISSING PEOPLE. 4 Detectives Say They Number About Twenty Thousand a Year. The police inspector said: "About ton years ago I was watchingsome workmen pulling down a row of old riverside houses that had a desperately bad repu- tation time out of mind; and I can recol- lect what a start it gave me when they showed me that nearly every house had a great trapdoor, through which anything could be drepped into the race of the tide below. Many a poor chap had gone to his death that way, I'll go bail. But I can tell you a curious thing that happen- ed ouly the other day. A man had been drugged and robbed, hue he told us that before he became insensThle he had man- aged to lock and bolt his door, and locked and belted it was when he came round again. How they had got in and robbed hint he could not imagine. Well, we searched about and finally diseovered that tke door was really two doors, one ,withia another. He had ,,two and belt- ed the liner door into the frame safe enough, but then tke frame itself was only another door, with separate hinges of its own." "I suppose the list of those reported missing is quite a short one these days, Is it not?" "Sem. 18,800 to 20,000 a year! But don't Leek so startled. More than dime- enarters a them turn up 'again in some way or ether. You see,, the list includes strayed children and runaway boys to be- gan with. Then there are the men who g'et locked up at night for something or ether and either are toe careless or too ashamed tis send to their wives, with the result that the poor women rush off to the nearest station in the inorning to make inquiries. Quite a number of men go and hide after quarreling with their wives. Why, 1 came across a case the other day where a man had lived for four years within half a Mile of the wife he'd de,serted without her finding him. A. big to-wn is the only safe place for a fellow that's 'wanted' to hide comfortably."- Cassell's Magazine. • Skating. An experienced skating teacher lays great importance upon the kind of shoes worn. " A great deal is said," he remrrk- ed " about properly supporting the ankle, and people complain that they cannot skate because their ankles are weak. Now, in at least five but of ten of those cases there is nothing at all the matter with either the ankle or its support. The trouble is right here," and he touched the side of his shoe just below the instep and above the hollow of the foot. "This part of the shoe," he continued, "ought to be very snug and stiff, to hold tbe foot straight, and prevent its twisting between the toe and heel. That is what usually makes the skater • wabble ' and lose his footing and he thinks the trouble is with his ankle. The height of the shoe does not matter much."-FHarp- er's Bazar. • Will Work at Night.
