at Norfolk. He was rejected because j
of his great bulk, but he is now work- j
ing as a recruiting sergeant.
Freddie Welsh? the boxer, was the j
first in line with the idea of forming i
a sportsmen's battalion for the United
States army and now Bob Edgren. the
sporting editor of the New York
World, proposes to organize one in the
city and claims to have enough names
already to form the battalion. Among
the applicants are such well known
boxing stars as Benny Leonard, Leach
Cross, Irish Patsy Cline, Jemmie Duf
fie, Stanley Yoakum, Soldier Bartfield,
and Eddie Wallace. Dan Morgan the
energetic pugilistic impressario wired
from Hot Springs placing himself and
his entire staff of fighters at the dis
posal of Uncle Sam and other mana
gers and promoters have announced
intentions of following suit.
According to reports the sportsmen
can raise a whole division if it is nec
essary and one well known New York
sportsmen intimated that they wanted
to go overseas and be coupled up with
the boys from Canada, who have
proved their worth in the trenches.

FATE OF HOHENZOLLERN8
18 DEFINITELY SETTLED
“If the fortunes of war are finally
decided against the German empire,
then every one will awake to the fact
that, in her own interests, the Hohen
zollerns absolutely must, voluntarily
or compulsory, he relieved of their
imperial functions.” Such is one of
the statements contained in the pam
phlet recently published in Germany
and promptly suppressed by the gov
ernment there. It continues: “A mere
glance at the newspaper articles of i
our enemies makes it obvious that j
in the entente countries governments
and people alike feel a deadly hatredj
for the present German emperor. It t
[is against the kaiser and his son that
| the most venomous attacks are cli-;
rected. They are held responsible, notj
merely for the outbreak of the war.'
but also lor all those acts of war about
| which our enemies assert that they
'are justified in complaining. This be
ing so. how can anyone still believe
that Britain, France and Russia will
ever consent to negotiate with the
present principal personages in Ger- i
jmany—that is to say, with William |
|II. and his son?
| "We should remember the magna
Jnimity with which Napoleon adbicat
ed his position of emperor, in order to
enable his country to conclude peace
and to obtain more lenient conditions
from the victor. Is William II. cap
able of making such a sacrifice for the
German nations as Napoleon made for
the French nation?
"I am convinced that the entente i
countries will be willing to resume!
peaceful commercial relations with a ;
Germany which has rid herself of the j
Holienzollerns. It would no doubt ev
jen be possible to approach the subject
|of colonies. If it were possible by a
'change of dynasty to give the entente
a guarantee that the influence of the
party has once and for all been set
aside and that the much desired
‘place in the sun’ will no longer he in
terpreted as meaning that everyone
else is excluded therefrom, but in the
sense of all sharing it alike, then a
Greater Germany might emerge front
this calamitous war.”
This pamphlet, of which the above j
are extracts, shows very clearly thej
trend of thought of a large portion of j
'the population of the German empire, j
| but not including the Prussians. From !
'this it seems to be realized that the
llohenzollern ideas and the further
'progress of Germany are incompati
! hie. Just as France and Napoleon had
I to separate so will Germany and Wll-j
jliam. It is interesting to note tlint j
'this was written in JJavarja* the one |
ipart of Germany where the people,
jhave the freest constitution ;rnd where I
the voice of tHe people is paid most

LESSONS OF THRIFT.
Learn to Spend Money Only For Thing*
You R**lly Need.
There are few jiersons so rich that
they do not need lo exercise care and
forethought In their expenditure. Hu
man needs, human desires, human
sympathies, are so va^t, occasions of
outlay sotlieset all of us at every step
that unless we are watchful we (illicit
ly find great resources reduced to
nothing, without our knowing how.
The s^ed witii which money departs
is one of the first lessons of exiieri
! ence to man, woman and child, but we
I are slow to apply our own experience
in our judgment of others.
Every one should he taught from
i childhood to weigh the needs of ex
penditure. This I must have, this I
\ can go without, tills i greatly want, if I
other demands still more imperative I
1 are not balked by it. By buying this |
now I can avert the necessity of a dou- j
ble expenditure a year lienee. On Hie |
! other hand, if I refrain from a pur- '
chase tempting at the moment I may be
! glad of in,v self control, even within a
week. Questions like those have to lie
settled by every liumun living. Can
any training la* more important than
that which enables rs to settle them?
Exactly the same disposition to weigh
and to compare must lie brought into
giving, into charity, if giving is to be
discreet and wise and not in the end
injurious to giver and receiver both.
If we want a useful teHt for the diffi
cult distinction between avarice and
thrift we may say that thrift is more
sparing with self than it is with utli- '
ers. whereas avarice pinches others j
sooner than itself, although it may !
pinch both.—Youth's Companion.
THE CITY OF QUEENSTOWN, j
It la a Seaport, a Watering Place and j
a Britiah Naval Station.
Queenstown, numbering slightly mure
tbun 8,000 souls, lias a threefold diet
tiw-tioii-as a seaport, a watering place
and a British naval station. It. is a
well built and attractive place, with a .
mild climate, and, teeing built upon an j
Island, its streets rise in terraces one I
above the other and offer a super!) out- I
look over the neighboring waters.
Within fifty years tlie place was only j
a small fishing village and was known '
as the Cove of Cork. Its present name !
was received in 1849 by reason of its j
having been the first spot in Ireland I
upon which Queen Victoriu set foot, j
It still serves as tile port of tlie city of
Cork, from which it is twelve miles dis- ;
taut. Cork itself is located at the point
of entry of the river I.ee into the bay. j
Tin* harbor of Queenstown is spleu- '
didiy defended by two forts—Carlisle i
and Camden—at its entrance and bv •
Fort Westmoreland, which Is situated !
upon Spike island, one of tin* group of j
three isles which make up the govern- .
incur dockyard and constitute the tine j
cat oral breakwater of the harbor. .
wherein a large fleet can find safe an
chorage.
Two years before tile iiueen's visit to j
the town Spike island was made a con- j
vie! depot upon tlit- abolishment of the
transportation scheme <>f punishment j
which had been in vogue, and the con- |
victs sent there were employed upon |
the fortifications. The Island ceased j
to lie a prison in 1885, at which lime it ;
was handed over to the military mi ;
thorities.—National Geographic Society I
Bulletin.
Positive Jurors.
A prospective juror, being qualified
for a murder trial in Illinois, when
asked the customary question. “Hate .
you formed or expressed an opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the ac
cused V’ rejoined promptly: "Sure.
He's as guilty as all get out!’’ Which
resulted in a $10 tine by the outraged
court and, of course, the disqualifica
tion of that talesman.
There was a murder case that ended
right in the middle when counsel,
wheedliug gently at the jury, remark
ed. "Of course none of you gentlemen
has made up his mind yet as to the
guilt or innocence of this defendant.”
Taking advantage of a rhetorical
pause, a lanky juror arose and replied
positively: “Well, 1 have, for one. He
ought to be hung!”—Kansas City Star, j
Where We Get Nux Vomica.
With the exception of Ceylon, which
exports a limited quantity of nux vom
ica, British India is said to supply the
world. Nux vomica seeds and pick
ings are obtained from the plumlike
fruits of the tree. The fruit is collect
ed and the seeds washed out and dried
in the sun. In the forests of Nellore.
where the tree iS- common, the seeds
are washed out by a forest tribe, tbe
Tnnadis. and a good price is obtained
for them, Cochin nux vomica is col
lected in the dry deciduous forests at
the foot of the Travancore hills and is
sold at a low figure to small native
dealers, who send It to the merchants.
