CHIEF OF GRAY
VETERANS DIES
den. W. B. Haldeman Is
Stricken While at
Horse Races.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 28.—-Gen
eral W. B. Haldeman, 78, com
mander-in-chief of the United Con
federate Veterans, wearing the
honors of long, active years, last
night had answered the final roll
call and gone to rejoin those com
rades in gray whose cause he
had served since it first called him
from his school books a boy of 16.
Heart Attack.
General Haldeman, at one time
part owner of the Courier-Journal,
died late yesterday from a heart
attack in the emergency hospital
at Churchill Downs. He had been
stricken a half hour before while
watching the races, his favorite
sport.
Seated in a box, surrounded by
scenes and friends he loved, the
white-haired old soldier complained
of feeling ill, and' suggested he
should-go home. He was assisted
Jrom the box, but before he could
reach his automobile the attack
had so overcome him it was neces
sary to call for a stretcher to
carry him to the track hospital.
His Last Words.
ft I am nauseated,” he murmured,
as he was borne into the hospital.
And these were his last words.
General Haldeman, who had val
iiantly resisted the infirmities of
age, suffered an attack about two
weeks ago while addressing the
United Daughters of the Confed
eracy at their state convention in
Frankfort.
He was similarly stricken last
Thursday at Churchill Downs, but
he had returned to the races, ap
parently completely recovered.
Dies Before Wife Arrives.
Soon after General Haldeman
was stricken his chauffeur brought

Mirage Produced by
Passage of Light Rays
The mirage Is an optical Illusion
In which Images of distant objects
ase seen as If inverted or raised In
the nlr, says the Detroit News,
This phenomenon was first ex
plained by a Frenchman who went
with Napoleon on hjs first expedi
tion in Egypt, where mirages are
very common.
The phenomenon Is due to the
rays of light being changed In their
direction when passing through
colder or hotter strata of air. Lay
ers of air In contact with the Bur
face of deserts become greatiy ex
panded and rarefied, while those
immediately above remain denser,
thus causing the light rays to be
bent upward. However, over wa
ter the condition is Just the re
verse. tHan Tllf layers above areVfirm
er those next to JltS water.
When an object appears to be lifted
above Its real position in the phe
nomenon It Is called looming. In the
case of looming the reflection Is from
the sky while in ordinary mirage It
Is from the earth. Mirages are
common In Egypt, Persia, Turkestan,
California, Nevada and Alaska.
Hog* Followed Owner
Hogs usually are neither intelli
gent nor Companionable, but like
other animals they do not always
run true to type. In moving from
one farm to another, perhaps ten
miles away, Mr. Turner, a farmer
of the Kentucky hills, decided,
writes a contributor to the Youth's
Compimlon, to leave his herd of
forty swine In an open field at his
old home until the following morn
ing when he would return for them.
Next morning he was up early^in
his new house, making preparations
for the arduous task of driving be
fore him over rough mountain
roads two score hogs, any or all
of which might prove refractory.
But when he emerged from the
house into tho front yard Imagine
his antonishment at seeing his hogs,
all forty of them, standing before
1
him at tho gate!
Were the hogs so much attached
to their owner that they followed
him to his new home? Or did they
follow the trail of the farmer's cat
tle? The owner and all the neigh
bors, too, were completely mysti
fied.
<« Tb Walk Spanith
To make a'person “walk Span
ish” Is to make him come up to
time, or to make him act under com
pulsion. It refers to the old sport
among boys in which one .hoy seizes
; another by the collar and seat of
; the trousers and forces him’
tiptoe. Hence, along
on by extension, It
means to walk gingerly. Apparent
ly the expression originally referred
to the munner In which the Spanish
i pirates used to handle their pris
oners while starting them out on
i the plank.—Exchange.

What Your Eyes Tell
We are told that the eyes of the
Intellectual tnan are gray, and It Is
a fact that most men of genius have
gray eyes.- Brown eyes are said to
express temperament rather than in
tellect.
Although brown eyes flash with
anger, light up with Joy, and change
swiftly with Jealousy, blue and
gray eyes can express greater sad
ness. .
Green and black eyes are sup
posed to he the most wicked.

important part in her various con
quests. "vamp” In modern Action

either green or black. Actually,
there are no black eyes; dark brown

ance of being black In certain

Interbred Chicken*
The origin of the Rhode Island
Red chicken was similar to that of
the Buff Orpington In England. It
was a local race of poultry found
extensively In Rhode Island, pro
duced by the farmers themselves
without any definite breeding and
from uncertain stock. It Is thought
by some authorities that a consid
erable foundation of this local
Rhode Island poultry was an old
smooth-legged Cochin-China stock;
but that ordinary Cochins were also
largely bred Is undoubted, and there
Is strong evidence that the Astatic
stock was considerably crossed
