Why Ik" Lady ef the Hoese Wai la-dla-nant
Ovpr Ilia Coaduct.
Tbere U a well known togal light of
Chicago wbu U In deep disgrace with
out the shudow of nn excuse fur blm
Bclf to bolster up bis stuklng spirits,
lie went out to Hyde I'ark tbe otber
night to dine Infoniiallj- wltb souie
friends, mid bis hostess, who bad been
murried but a short time, put herself
out to entertain hiiu. The dinner was
excellent, and the Judge did full jus
tice to It. They had coffee lu the libra
ry, und tbc biggest, most padded leath
er chair was put at the guest's dispos
al. Wltb a sigh he aank into Its car
eruous depths and prepared fur a luxu
rious evening wltb a good cigar ahead
of blm. Brilliantly his hostess rambled
on. She told stories that were witty,
and she gently deferred to his views,
but presently be left her to do all the
talking. In tbe midst of a striking ac
count of a theater party she stopped
with a Jerk. Tbere was no response
and a dead silence punctuated only by
a gentle and regular breathing. Tbe
judge was fust asleep tu bis big chair.
There was no doubt of It. Nothing
could conceal tbe fact. With one In
dignant and comprehensive glance at
her plainly delighted htuitismlabe
arose and inujestlcally swept up stairs.
And she did not go down again.
It was some time later when her
husband upologetlcally came up after
her. lie bud not expected her wrath
to last "Hid did you think yon were
budly treated?" he asked.
"How long did be sleep?" asked tbe
still Insulted wife.
Agalu the grin overspread ber bus
baud's fuce, but he spoke in a sad tone,
as behtted the occasion. "Pearly an
hour," he breathed. "I W0QldntlBliid,"
pacifically.
Then It was the worm turned.
"Mtndr she stormed. "Of course I
wouldn't, only on have grounds now
for tbe rest of your life for sajtng I
talk so much It puts people to sleep!"
And sbe wept Chicago Maws.
SOMETHING ABOUT ARMIES.
Artlllarrmem Were Oih Rewarded
mm atwekules, Not Soldiers.
Until the time of Charles XII of Swe
den the artillery was not considered a
part of the army. The men serving lu
it Were not soldiers, but regarded as
mechanics. Tbe o (Beers had no army
rank. Charles XII gave artillery offi
cers a rank and regularly organised the
artillery into companies. The battle of
Pavla demonstrated tbe superiority of
the gun in the hands of the Spanish
infantry. The musket carried a two
ounce ball and sometimes brought
down at one Ore two or three mailed
knights. Tbe French sent a flag of
truce to remonstrate against tbe use of
such barbarous weapons.
Alexander had four kinds of cavalry
the cataphrsetl, or heavy armed horse;
the light cavalry, carrying spears and
very light armor; tbe acroballstge, or
mounted archers, used for outposts, pa
trols and reconnoltering duty, and tbe
dlniachoe, or troops expected to act ei
ther aa cavalry or Infantry. Alexander
the Great reorganized his father's ar
my. The file or lachoa of 16 men was
the unit; two fUea made a dilochy;
two dllochie made a tetrarcby; two
tetrarchles a texlarehy; two of these
syntagura; 16 of these a small phalanx;
four of these a tetra-pbabtngarchy, oth
erwise known as a large phalanx.
The Greeks attacked in a phalanx,
the spears Interlocked and shields over
lapping. After tbe first onset the' spears
were dropped, and the day was decid
ed with the sword.' The cavalry at
tacked the enemy in the rear, if powsl
ble. and, In ease of victory, undertook
the iwrstiit-Pearsoii's Weekly.
Way ske Was Ktarwt. -Haydn
had a peculiar way of deter
mining the time in which a piece of
music should be sung. On one occa
sion a female singer in high esteem at
court had been appointed to sing one
of. Haydn's compositions. At the re
hearsal she and the conductor differed
aa to tbe time of the music. Tbe mat
ter was to be settled by referring It to
Haydn btmbelf. Wbea called est to
decide, he asked tbe conductor if tba
singer was handsome.'
-Very,'' was the reply; "and ape
cial favorite with the prince. 4
"Then she la right" replied Haydn.

A young man who had purchased a
pair of eyerfasses at a local optician's
the otber day waa complaining to the
clerk that he couldn't keep them on.
"They are continually falling off," he
aald, "and are really getting to be a
first clans nuisance. Don't you think It
would help things If you tightened up
tbe spring a littler'
"No. I wouldn't advise you to alter
the spring," replied the clerk. "It's so
tight now that It Is scarring your nose.
If you'll only be patient for a few
days, I think yerU-learn to wear, these
glasses all right Come in at the end
of the week, and if you are still having
trouble with tbem'U fit yon out with
a pair of spectacles.'
"What do yon mean by learning to
wear those eycglasstsf' as leer man
who happened to be standing Within
earshot after tbe csWorbei had walked
out "Is tt a trick that has to be ac
quired by practice T
"Certainly It Is," replied the clerk.
"Wearing eyeglasses Is something that
has to be learned. Just Ilk riding a bi
cycle In fact thwmpavlson hj'prettj
good, because both are simply feats of
balancing. , The ahape of theooee has
very little to do with It' eoDttnoed the
clerk, "and laaVt wfetB feats? lirtfcow

make eyeglasses stay ttiere at first at
tempt Until he acqriliwd tti knack of
keeping them In place by balance they
would be falling off every time he
made a sudden movement no mstter
how tightly ba screwed ap the spring.
Once the trick Is mastered, however,
there la no further trouble. People
who wear eyeglasses habitually and
who may be regarded aa experts keep
the spring vary loose. The glssses rest
on the bridge of the nose aa lightly as
a feather, but they newer come off. I

ORIGIN OF THE TERM "MOB"
reed la Its Fawart-MesBtoawB MaB ed
Cfcaaeer.
As Indicating tbe populace, prover
bially fickle and easy to be moved (mo
bile, from Iatln moblllia), the expres
sion "tbe mobile people" is ss old ss
the time of Cbsucer, but In Its later
sense, that of the disorderly crowd,
snd In Its contracted form, "mob," It la
not older than the postiestoratloa -period.
In Borer North's Xiamen, 1740,
reference la made to tbe Green Blbbon
club, 1880-a. and tbe writer adds:
"I may note that the rabble first
changed their' title and were called tbe
mob in the assemblies of this club-;-first
sMMkt valgus, then'rontracted- in
one syllable." It was used hesitating
ly at flrst by Dryden ("Don Sebastian,"
1000), Durfy ("Commonwealth ot Wo
men," 1688) and Shadwell ("Bqulre ef
Alsatla." 18), and Richardson points
out tbst Dryden uses both "mobile"
'and "mob" In the sense of rabble, the
former in the stage directions ss the
'common word, the latter s If It bad
. not long been introduced.
In 1T11 Tbe Spectator Instances
"mob" ss sn example of the popular
tendency to curtail many of our words
In familiar writings and conversation.
The verb "to mob," derived of course
as above,' does not occur Until the pe
riod of Horace Walpole; ' many "years
later, and Shakespeare's sxpresstea,
''the mo bled queen" (rHamlet"). refers
pot to the "mob" (mobile), bat to tbe

In almost every home and ham
let the announcement of the coming;
to Greensboro on October 13th of
the Adam ' Forepauch and Sella
Bros.' union of big shows will
be greeted as tidings of great joy.
Aside from its national reputation
it presents strong special proof to
support its claim ol being the only
big show in America today. Since
the Barnum & Bailey show went
to Europe iti is the only menagerie,
circus and hippodrome that has
exhibited in New York city and
the general metropolitan verdict,
recorded by immense audiences for
two seasons st Madison Square
Garden snd in the press, seems to
be tbst it has surpassed its great
and populai predecessor. The
World echoes the drift of public
opinion in pronouncing it "the big
gest cirou New- York has ever
seen," and what held good there
will doubtless hold good in the
conntry at largo, as the same at
tractions, whether on four legs or
two, on the earth or in the air, or
water and atl of them will be as
effectually presented wherever the
biggest tents on earth are pitched.
From start to finish, from the mag
nificent street parade to the last of
the hippodrome races, the exhibi
tion is at once a colossus and a
corker. There are acres and acres
of instruction, elation, fun and
wonder. Hours may be profitably
and pleasantly passed in inspecting
the largest and finest collection of
rarest wild beasts and birds. When
it comes to the circus and hippo
drome performances there appears
to be no limit to the thrills and
tickles. Hundreds of distinguish
ed artists and admirably trained
animals participate in a hundred
acts. Even the very air is alive
with wizard bicyclists, flying
sprites and trapeze heroes and
heroines, while in the rings below
appear the nineteen finest male
and female barebf.de riders of both
Europe and- America Interming
ling with all this and filling the
very air with laughing gas are
clowns of all kinds and countries
to- the number of twenty-five,
whose music, mirth and 'infinitely
hittfand skits at current fads and
fashionable follies make tens of
thousands hold their sides and hi
lariously howl. As for tbe rest;
well you'll have to read the bills-ad.-
