TACOMA SMELTER
IS SUED ON PATENT
TACOMA, Nov 21.—Alleging that
for more than ten years the Tacoma
Smelting company has been manu
facturing and selling without his
knowledge, sectional water tube
matte spouts, on which he received
a patent in January 1905, Albert R.
Brink of Tacoma yesterday brought
suit in federal court against the
smelting company, asking an injunc
tion against further use or sale of
the spouts by the company, those
now in use declared infringements,
and the profits from the sale made
by the company over a period of ten
years. Brink alleges that to his know
ledge he has been damages to the ex
tent of $40,000, and that he did not
learn for more than nine years that
the smelting company was manu
facturing the spouts.

HE LOST HIS FRECKLES.
Jam** Whitcomb Rtl*y'» Tal* of Hew
the Trick We* Turned.
As a youth James .Whitcomb Riley
waa burdened with freckles. Always
sensitive regarding anything reflecting
upon him personally, he grieved over
what he considered on insurmountable
misfortune. He told of his effort at
emancipation:
‘‘One day I saw in a drag store win
dow what was said to be a sure cure
for moth, tan, freckles, etc. I ponder
ed possession of a bottle, but—GO
cents! Of course 1 could never buy it.
Why, I didn’t get GO pennies in a
whole year.”
But he managed to finance himself
by manipulation of the market money
when doing errands for his parents
and be bought a bottle of the magic
stuff. He ran with it to the haymow
and rubbed it all over bis face, then
raced off to school to make up the
time be bad lost
“When I stepped inside the door all
the school started to laugh at me," be
aays. “The teacher asked me what I
meant by coining to school In such s
condition. Bewildered and ignorant
of what It all meant, I followed her
out the door. She showed me my face
In a mirror, and it was like a yellow
Easter egg. Tbs directions bad said
to rub it off Immediately with salt
water and white of an egg, all of
which I bad missed... To get.the stain
off, my faoe had to be robbed until the
skin left It- But when it was all over
the freckles were actually gone and
never came back.”
MILITARY MARCHING.
H1 I, ^ »* **
The Pees Varies With the Quality and
. 8ise of .the Command.
The “Army Drill Book” tells that
.trained and hardened infantry can
cover from twenty to twenty-five miles
a day when in small bodies. As the
size of the command Increases the dis
tance covered becomes less, as the rate
is lowered and time ia needed to get fill
the units into and out of camp.
With a regiment or less of average
troops—regulars—marching over aver
age roads the rate should be from two
and three-quarters to three miles an
hour. Large bodies will travel from
two to two and a half miles an hour,
while a division cannot be expected to
accomplish more than twelve and one
half miles a day.
ur course an tnese ngures win vary
with different conditions of roads and
weather. Untrained troops could not
approach them until hardened. Though
they might do better for a day or two
they could not keep up the steady pace
of the seasoned regulars for a long dls
tance.
Marching with full equipment Is hard
physical work and, like every other
form of labor, requires a proper period
of training. Tbe seasoned force will
keep up a steady pace with ten minute
halts every hour, a fifteen minute stop
being made at the end of the first half
or three-quarters of an hour. Green
troops are apt to straggle badly.—Out
ing.
An Anecdote of Handel.
On one occasion Handel was caught
In a shower of rain and was obliged to
seek shelter In a blacksmith’s forge.
Either Handel was in a silent mood' or
else the blacksmith showed no convfr
sational symptoms, for In a little while
tbe latter began hammering away at
his anvil, accompanying his work with
a song. Handel was listening all the
time to the strokes of the hammering
on the anvil, which, by producing two
harmonic sounds, according in time
and tune with 4ba tune the man sang,
formed a bass accompaniment Handel,
on reaching home, remembered the air
and tbe hammer accompaniment He
wrote down both, and so we owe to a
shower of rein, the composition known
as "The Harmonious Blacksmith.”
Withering.
Enoch Eastman, an old time Iowa
lawyer, on one occasion appeared be
fore a young jndge and to enforce a
point he desired to make brought with
him and attempted to read Blaekstone
tot the court • whereupon tbe young
judge, after moving uneasily about in
| his seat for awhile, said, "Mr. East
man. I’ve read Blaekstone.”
“Oh, hev ye!” responded Enoch,
looking at the judge over the top of'
bis spectacles with an air of surprise.
