A Story of Gen- Andy Burt- Toths ssries of anecdotes about Brig Gen. “Andy” Bort’s markman ship now current, a correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, who served under that gallant soldier during the civil war, adds a new one. Il eeems that when Burl was cap tain in the Eighteenth United Blates Infantry, in April, 1864, the compa nies bad daily target practice, the man making the best shot of the day being excused from duty for twenty-four hours. One day a six-footer from Indians named Brown made a bull’s eye the first shot. “Load your rifle for me,” said Capt. Burt, ’’and if I don't duplicate your shot I’ll exouse you from a camp guard for a week.” Brown, unobserved, lore two car tridges and poured the charges of both into his weapon, then dropped in the two balls, point foremost, and rammed them home. Burt took the gun, equalled down, rested his elbows on bis knee and aimed long and de liberately. When he pulled the trig ger the recoil threw him fiat on bis back. When be opened his eyes the com pany wag shouted: “Belter lie still Capt. Burt! The d—d gun is kicking yet!” And Capt. Burl's reply, according to our correspondent, would have dene credit to “Fighting Bob” Evans.

New Woman Dentist Everitt told this at a meeting of the FooLThiogs-We-Have Dune Club, says the Chicago Record “She was a deotiM and bad opened an office on the eighth floor. Nearly every impressionable young man in the bnildiog was her slave, but she didn’t seem to know it. “One day I picked up her glove in the elevator and' he thanked me so sweetly th»* I went fiw fl .ore beyond where I wente-l io get off. Next day she (rose me when I tipped my hat and the glove was evidently a closed incident. Finally I decided to feign a toothache—something I had never bad io my life—and become acquaint ed with ber as a patron. Accordingly I entered ber office, and, sitting down • in the wailing room, grippsd my jaw in both bands, emitted several blood curdling groans, and tried to look like Richard Mansfield. "Boon I was in the chair of torture and the dentist was sndeavoring to find the toothache, which I had de scribed with a Stove Cranisb elabora tion of detail. Everytime I endeav ored to start up a conversation, how ever, she would open my mouth and try another teat. She used airguns, hydraulic machines, buzzers, jabbers, grinders, hammers and barrows, and when I endeavored to explain that the aobe was all gone she stuffed enough rubber in my mouth to make a poncho lor a soldier, and I couldn’t even berk. ’ Finally she slipped a wedge be tween two teeth and then touched some sort of an electric apparatus that spread the molars at least balfan inch. I must have grown pale at this, as she look the rubber out of my mouth and gave me a drink of water, after allow ing me to climb out of the chair. • “ 'l’ve tried every test known to dentistry,’ said she sweetly, 'but I can not find the ache. I guess the trouble in your head is not with your teeth. You should consult a brain specialist.’ "Well, at this shot I couldn’t even apologize. I simply sneaked, and next week I moved my office to a building four blocks distant. I don’t believe in women entering the professions, any way.

Our Raw Material Vot Soldiers. The average young American has grown up with the habit of thinking and acting for himself, and when he goes a soldiering he is capable of throwing as much personal zeal into charges like those at Santiago as if he were fighting a duel and the fate of his country and all he held dear depended upon his personal exploits. Tho well drilled troops of European countries are formidable enough certainly, but there are resources of intense personality in such men, as, for Instance, the members of Col onel Theodore Roosevelt’s regiment of rough riders, that count in a crisis for ■ groat deal more than tho passive mechan ical excellences of the trained soldiery of the military powers. It is not boasting, but the sober truth, to say that no other nation possesses in the great mass of its population any such large percentage of fighting material. Great Britain has in her young men of the higher classes, from whom she draws her officers, as brave and capable an element as can be found in the world. But her farm laborers are no more to be compared with the eons of American farmers than with an Australian football team. Nor are the young men of her industrial cen ters—Manchester, Sheffield and the rest in any manner equal to the young men of American towns in physical development or in personal initiative and adaptability. —Review of Reviews. Missed His Manners. An absentminded American recently fell under disfavor in an English club for neglecting to notice a small courtesy. He was entering the vestibule of the club house and failed to perceive that a fellow member was holding open the door for him. Courtesy required him to thank the stranger who had performed this slight service and then to reciprocate it. As they were both entering the building, and as there was a second door leading into the central hall, he ought to have opened it and allowed the fellow member to pass in ahead of him. Being intent upon his own thoughts, ho pushed in and took no no tice of the stranger who had opened the first door for him. The first man was ir ritated by the slight and subsequently de nounced the abeentminded member as the worst bred man in the club, and when the story was told in detail tn the smoking room opinion was ao strongly against the American offender against English usage that the situation was explained to him, and he was forced to make his peace by an apology for his abeentminded breach of good manners.—Exchange.
