Change Posslblo From Work of
Military Mission Now Studying
European Organization.
London, Jan. 2.—The Ameri
can Military Mission, headed by
Brig.-Gen. McClernand, visited
today the garrison at Tisworth.
Yesterday the commissioners
were at Aldershot. On his return
to London Gen. McClernand said
to The World correspondent:
“We were much impressed with
the thoroughness of the training
at these garrisons, and with the
spirit of the officers and men.
Our reception was most cordial.
“European training of cavalry
for dismounted action has par
ticularly interested us. The long
range rifle of today limits the
activity of cavalry and literally
forces it into dismounted service.
The chief object of our mission
has been to study the organiza
tion, training and leading of
cavalry, as now understood and
practiced in Europe, especially
the organization of the regiment.”

New York, Jan. 2.--The advent
of the New Year was in no re
spect different from those pre
ceding, notwithstanding the ef
forts of those who wished to in
augurate the “safe and sane”
plan of celebrating the incom
ing of the New Year.
All the well known eating
places were thronged with merry
crowds, while the streets were
alive with people. In the parks
Ihe committee who were work
ing for a quiet celebration had
music by bands and the singing
of old-fashioned songs.
Chicago, Jan. 2.—The New
Year was ushered in in pretty
much the same manner as in pre
vious years, although a very gen
eral attempt was made to do away
with Ihe wine and riot of previous
occasions. Notwithstanding the
cafes were crowded and wine
flowed until the supply gave out.

DOINGS OF W
DISTRICT COURT
The district court was occupieu
today in hearing the case of the
United States against Eliza Kan
agin, charged with giving liquor
| to natives. Kanagin, who lives
at Afognak, was in the city as a
witness awaiting the grand jury,
when he was arrested for giving
spirituous liquor to other native
witnesses. Jos Murray and
Tony Dimond defended the accus
ed. The following jury was
drawn:
C. Parker Smith, G. P. Hunt,
H. C. Coleman, James Kennedy,
Jas. Brennen, Elliot Stewart, Jas.
McConnell, A. Bell, W. M. Hol
land, G. Hubbard, Frank Korth,
C. W. Harrington.
At the time of going to press
witnesses for the state were be
ing examined, it being evident
that the defense, by their line of
cross-examination were trying
to prove that the Aleuts who re
ceived the liquor had become cit
izens of the United States.

THE IRON MEN.
When the north wind roars at
your cottage doors and batters
the window panes, and the cold’s
so fierce that it seems to pierce
right into your bones and veins,
then it’s sweet to sit by the fife
and knit, and think, /vhiie the
needles clank, of the iron men,1 Of
the shining yen you have in the
village bank. When you’ve lost
your job and misfortunes rob
your face of its wonted grin,
when the money goes for your
grub and clothes, though there’s
nothing coming; in then the fates
are rough and they kies and
cuff and give you a frequent
spank, how sweet to think of the
bunch of chink you have in the
village bank. When you’re gray
and old, and your feet are cold,
and the night is drawing on;
(when you’re tired and weak and
your joints all creak, and the
strength of youth is gone; when
you watch and wait at the sunset
gate for the boatman grim and
lank, oh, it’s nice to know there’s
a roH of dough all safe in the
village bank. T?ie worst my
friend, that the fates can send,
is softened for yon and yours if
you have the price, have the coin
on ice—the best of all earthly
cures; oh, a healthy wad is your
staff and rod when the luc)
seems tough and rank; your con
solers then are the iron men you
have in the village bank.

The recent heavy winds and

The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
Its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.
