' That was the amount offered the poiict'inan for silence by the youth, although his first offer, only totaled half tlutt amount. When Officer Smith laughingly retusea to accept, the princtly brifbe of $1, the little negro, undaunted, double his offer and talked a though he had tne cash ready. Offi rer Smith did not accept, however, but bundled the little black fellow in to the patrol wagon ana treated him to a rid' to tne city hall, where his nam was duly registered on the big black book that -ornaments a table in the "neeption hall." Officer Smith was assisted in the arrest by Deputy Sheriff 'Joe Rackley; the latter not being,' included in the bribe offering, however. it may have been that Walker realized the futility of trying to reach the aeputy sheriff or it" may have been that he consid ered himself, the prisoner v of Mr. Smith. At any rate his tenderance of hush" money was directly to the plain liothesman. " When Walker realized that his offer was not going to be accepted; that he was destined to explain to the Re corder for "packing a gun" he even attempted to free himself from the stiony arm of the law which he real ized was closing in on him and his efforts compared very favorably with the writhing of a riiinnow on the hook of an experienced fisherman. Walker never had a chance and he entered the patrol with a smile on his face that would have done credit to the cowboy martyrs who die on the screen every onceand awhile. . TThe gun he was carying was not ; loalel. If it had been it is doubtful if he could have done anyone very se rious injury with it but he was carry ing it concealed in direct violation of the law and it was not Jor the police man to say whether he should go un punished or receive a se ntence. " The arrest of the-boy drew a big 'crowd. Scores of persons hurried to the scene and when file patrol; wagon : arrived and the little black boy was bundled 'in, traffic was so congested that it was almost impossible for hur rying pedestrians to pass the Belk store. It was the first time that a ; policeman in Wilmington has ever been offered bribe money with the citizenry looking on and the "tempt ed" officer came through without sul lying his good name.

War the progress toward less elaborate uniforms and les con spicuous insignia has been steady and rapid. "" 1 The service uniform of the United States army today is a cap with brown, falling visor; a coat and breeches of olive drab cloth, the same shade as the rcap;' brown leggings of either leather or canvas. ' Cap Devices Vary. The first difference in the garb of officers and enlisted men is to be seen on the front of the cap.where the of-, fleer wears the escutcheon' of the. Unit ed States, and the enlisted 'man the insignia of the branch of the service crossed rifles forjiiifantry, crossed cannon for artillery, crossed sabres for, cavalry, etc In all : cases this orna ment is of, a 'dark 'bronze, but the. of ficer always can bej distinguished by the spread-eagleV ; Looking further, on the 'collar of the coat are more signs and insignia.

The . field uniform consists of the campaign hat and cord, the O. D. shirt and the remainder the same as (the service. The hat is the same for jpfflcers and men but the officers be- low the grade of general wear hat cord of black and gold, while the en listed men wear a wool cord of the olor peculiar to the branch of the service blue for infantry, red for ar tillery, yellow for cavalry, orange for signal troops, maroon for medical and hospital service. ' ' ; When wearing the shirt the officer's rank is indicated by the insignia of the rank on one corner of the collar, and the device of the branch ;o the service on the other corner. ; ; As a: second lieutenant ;ljas "no mark or insignia Of rank,5 he is dependent on his hat cord to sustain his position, for, as a captain once said,- referring to his second lieutenant, "Mr. Biank has lost his hat cord and a second lieu tenant without a hat cord does not rank very high, especially at night. When wearing the O. D. overcoat, t still anbther way of distinguishing the difference of rank is provided. The cut of the coat of the enlisted man Varies in certain details" from the of ficer's; it has a deep cut on each sleeye; it also is fastened With bronze buttons, where the officer's coat is fastened by brown horn buttons.
