WHO^WHQ
CAMPBELL AS HACK DRIVER
——— Representative Phillip Pitt Camp
bell of Kansas has grand manners
that surpass those of a lord, or an
archduke, or a head waiter.
K.r.mßp' ‘:4m Campbell's family had occupied a
MbBSM;- cottage In the country near Washing
ton durir) S the summer, and one
nig bt. desiring to move back into the
W • • ha< k
On the way Campbell noticed that
/'*W ■ j ... 9 the man on the box out in front was
'-V'Tjy driving rather recklessly. He investi
v%..; T-ZMV gated and found that the driver was
% fj frankly drunk.
( / | # It was dangerous to allow him to
j 1 drive along the road, and even more
A, \ ’ \ 4 80 to trUßt hira in the thick traffic of
\ - y the city. So there was only one thing
t 0 ®* o, Campbell had to change places
■ ■**' So he sought to change clothes
■* BK? w >th the driver. But the driver's brass-
Wem&k fe, buttoned coat would not fit him How-
WBIPjPIPi ever, the high hat of true coachman
design did fit him, and Campbell put
it on. He ushered the driver into the carriage, and then he, the congress
man, mounted the seat out in front.
"And,” says Campbell ruefully, as he relates the episode, “in a way the
most disheartening feature of the whole thing was the fact that I was not
recognized. Ah, to think that merely by changing my hat I could so easily
be accepted as a hack driver!’’
“GRANDMOTHER” OF REVOLT
Mme. Catherine Breshkovskaya,
seventy-one years old, known as the
“grandmother of the Russian revolu
tion,” has been exiled to Bulune, last
outpost on the icy frontier of the
North pole region. Only two political
exiles have been sent to Bulune, it is
said, in the last 20 years. For seven
months of the year the hamlet is cut
off from communication, even by post,
from the outside world by arctic
snows.
Then years ago Mme. Breshkov
skaya visited New York and made ad
dresses, including one at Cooper
Union, on Russian conditions. She
collected SIO,OOO for the revolution
ary cause, and it was said that that
was partly responsible for her arrest
and imprisonment in the fortress of
St. Peter and St. Paul.
There she remained for two and a
half years before being tried with
Nicholas Tschaikovsky, another revo
lutionist. Meanwhile petitions were
drawn up here and in other American cities, signed by many well-known
persons and forwarded to Czar Nicholas. Mme. Breshkovskaya succeeded in
escaping with the aid of a revolutionist named Anfreef, who exchanged
clothes with her, but was recaptured four days later near the border. Then
she was convicted for trying to escape and sent to Siberia.
ORIGINAL PETE RUSSELL

v-.'v j
ik.
Mr. Russell is a Maryland man
and has been in the diplomatic service nearly twenty years. He was at
Caracas during the rule of Cipriano Castro.
DRUMMER BOY OF CHICKAMAUGA
“Johnny Clem, the drummer boy
of Chickamauga,” was retired recent
ly with the rank of brigadier general.
He was the last Civil war veteran to
be removed from the active list, on
which he had the rank of colonel. He
went to the front at the age of ten
years.
After he had been in the thick of
the battle at Chickamauga he was dis
covered by a Confederate colonel.
The boy cut a strange figure amid
the bloody scenes of tjjat day. He
was scarcely twelve years old. He
had his drum, and also the sawed-off
musket that the soldiers had given
him. He presented such a ludicrous
appearance that the Confederate
laughed.
The boy did not see the joke. He
whipped up his musket, fired three
shots at the colonel, and. under cover
of darkness, made his way back to his
regiment.
From that day his fame spread,
and he has been known ever since as the Drummer Boy of Chiekamauga
He was made a sergeant just after the battle of Chiekamauga and was
the youngest noncommissioned officer who ever served in the United States
army.
His service won the attention of General Grant, who, when he became
president, gave him a commission without making him take the course at
West Point. In 1874 he was made first lieutenant, in 1882 he became a
captain, a major in 1895, a lieutenant colonel in 1901, and a colonel in 1903.
There is talk of introducing in congress a bill to make him a major
general,
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA,
William W. Russell, who has been
appointed minister to the Dominican
Republic, was at one time a cadet at
the United States Naval academy at
Annapolis, where he was known as
“Pete.” How his fellow middies got
Pete out of William is not known, but
not only was he Pete, but such was
his fame that every boy named Rus
sell who has reported at the academy
from tljat day to this instantly has
been dubbed Pete. There are more
yarns in the navy among the fairly
old timers about Pete Russell than
about any other man who ever saw
aoodemy service. Pete was pranky,
a fact that was given due attention
by the authorities. Pete also was
popular and so he remains. The tales
of his doings as a middy show that
diplomacy was not then his marked
characteristic, but he is now credit
ed with being one of the best of Uncle
Sam's diplomatists.

struggle, is a polite but unequivocal
“no.”
Germany’s note to the United States
concerning the sinking of the White
Star Line steamer Arabic by a Ger
man submarine was communicated to
James W. Gerard, the American am
bassador. The note offers to refer the
questions of reparation and compensa
tion to The Hague tribunal for adjust
ment.
Domestic

eries have advanced to the 12-cent

From El Paso, Texas, comes the

the visit of General Villa to Urbina’s
ranch at Las Nievas, Mexico.
South Carolina has adopted state
wide prohibition to take effect Janu
ary 1, 1916, according to almost com
plete unofficial returns gathered in
Columbia.
The Austro-Hungarian ambassador,

al report on the situation in the Unit
ed States.
Two companies of infantry have

nille, Ga., is dead from scalds and in
ternal injuries received in a railroad

When the war broke out in Europe,
Mrs. Nancy Brooks, 72 years old, lost
her husband, an officer in the British
army. Aeroplane attacks subsequent
ly destroyed her home in London. She
came to this country to live with her
son in California, and found him
hopelessly insane, because recruiting
officers had refused to permit him to
enlist under the Canadian colors.
Gustav Stahl, the German reservist
who falsely testified that he had seen
guns on the decks of the ill-fated Lusi
tania when she left New York, has ar
rived in Atlanta to begin his eight
months’ sentence for perjury in the
federal pen.
The Mexicans have made the first
deliberate blow against the United

dawn of day when Nelson's body was
found stretched on a cot in a rooming
house. He had ended his life by send
ing a bullet through his head. The
rooming house is in a populous sec
tion of San Francisco and thousands
watched the battle. Several were
wounded before Nelson killed him
self.
All business was suspended at Hick
man, Ky., while regulators, led by min
isters and citizens, visited twenty-five
alleged blind tigers and forced their
proprietors and employees to leave
town. This action followed a triple
tragedy on the premises of a blind ti
ger. Many gallons of liquor were con
fiscated and poured into the streets.
European War
Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s
drive toward the Dvinsk-Vilna railway
is not progressing as rapidly as his
others, and except at one or two points
about midway between these towns,
where his cavalry has cut the railway,
he is still being stubbornly opposed
by Russian counter attacks.
Lord Kitchener says the Germans
appear almost to have shot their bolt,
and further states that their advance
in Russia, which at one time averag
ed five miles a day, has now dimin
ished to less than one mile a day.
Another battering offensive has
taken von Hindenburg to the Rovno-
Petrograd railway between Vilna and
Dvinsk. The whole Austro-German
forces have been striving to gain this
railway since the fall of the Polish
fortresses. The advance was carried
on from three directions upon Dvinsk
and the railway on either side of the
town. The Russians were forced back
to the lake district which the rail
way penetrates.
The French steamer San’t Anna is
reported on fire at sea, and is report
ed in need of assistance. The vessel
is bound from New York to Mediterra
nean ports.
The Russians are increasing their
activities in the Caucasus, and it is
believed the arrival of Grank Duke
Nicholas will be the signal for opera
tions that will be the signal for opera
tions that will lessen the burden of
the allies trying to force the Darda
nelles.
The next big German effort, it is
believed in London, will be made
against Vilna and Dvinsk. Already
the Teutonic forces are hammering
savagely at the Russian lines west of
Dvinsk. There is no waning in the
heavy battles being fought all along
the eastern front, now stretching from
Riga on the Baltic to the Roumanian
border.
The central powers still have an
overwhelming superiority in all the
material and equipment of war and
the allies, to win, must put forth all
their strength, is the statement made
by David Lloyd-Georgia, English min
ister of munitions. He states that af
ter twelve months of war his convic
tion is stronger than ever that Eng
land could not have honorably kept out
of the war.
Washington
American consuls in northern Mex
ico, the chief battle ground between
the contending factions, have been ad
vised by the state department not only
to notify American citizens to with
draw from the danger zones, but to
leave Mexico themselves if conditions
become intolerable.
President Wilson has begun a de
tailed study of preliminary reports on
national defense submitted by Secre
taries Garrison and Daniels.
Prospects for a favorable adjust
ment of the controversies between the
United States and Germany depend
entirely on the attitude which the
Berlin foreign office will take toward
the recommendations made by Count
von Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor, as a result of his conference with
Secretary Lansing.
The German government, in a note
from the foreign office to Ambassador
Gerard, at Berlin, which he has trans
mitted to Washington, made a quali
fied disclaimer of responsibility for
the sinking of the steamship Hespe
rian.
Conferences between President Wil
son and Secretary Lansing and be
tween Secretary Lansing and Count
von Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor brought the situation growing out
of German submarine activities to a
definite status.
The membership of the naval advis
ory board, the organization of experts
nominated by eleven great engineering
and scientific societies to contribute
their inventive genius to the Ameri
can navy, was announced by Secre
tary Daniels. The first meeting will
be held at the navy department, Oc
tober 4, with Thomas A. Edison, the
chairman, presiding.
Talk of breaking diplomatic rela
tions with Germany is heard again
on the streets of Washington.
Plans for two new battleships au
thorized by the last congress have
been signed by Secretary Daniels.
They will be the largest and most
powerful ever designed for the Amer
ican navy, and will be provided with
new safeguards against torpedo attack
and anti-aircraft guns.
President Wilson’s request for the
recall of the Austrian ambassador, Dr.
Constantin Theodor Dumba, has
broadened into a situation involving
Capt. Franz von Papen, the military
attache of the German embassy; Al
exander Nuben von Pereked, the Aus
trian consul general, and possibly
Count von Bernstorff himself, the Ger
man ambassador.
State department officials state
that all information relative to the
sinking of the Arabic is at hand, which
shows that the liner was torpedoed
without warning while proceeding
peacefully on her way.
State and war department officials
are aroused over the kidnaping of an
American citizen by Mexican bandits
at Columbus, N. M. A ranchman was
seized by Mexicans and carried over
the border from Columbus and word
sent back that he was being held for
ransom. Secretary Lansing has de
manded the release of the ranchman.

IT SLUGS HARD,
Coffee a Sure and Powerful Bruiser,
"Let your coffee slave be denied his
cup at its appointed time! Headache—
sick stomach —fatigue. I know it all
in myself, and have seen it in others.
Strange that thinking, reasoning be
ings will persist in its use,” says a To
peka man.
He says further that he did not be
gin drinking coffee until he was twen
ty years old, and that slowly it began
to poison him, and affect his hearing
through his nervous system.
"Finally, I quit coffee and the condi
tions slowly disappeared, but one cold
morning the smell of my wife’s coffee
was too much for me and I took a
cup. Soon I was drinking my regular
allowance, tearing down brain and
nerves by the daily dose of the nefa
rious beverage.
Later, I found my breath coming
hard, had frequent fits of nausea, and
then 1 was taken down with bilious
fever.
"Common sense came to me, and I
quit coffee for good and went back to
Postum. I at once began to gain
and have had no returns of my bilious
symptoms, headache, dizziness or ver
tigo.
"I now have health, bright
thoughts, and added weight, where be
fore there was invalidism and the
blues.
My brother quit coffee because of
its effect on his health and now uses
Postum. He could not stand the nerv
ous strain while using coffee, but keeps
well on Postum.” Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal— the original form—
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack
ages.
Instant Postum— a soluble powder—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa
ter, and with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 30c
and 50c tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.
