President Tnft hns gone on record in favor of the militia pay bill. In a letter to John V. Klrby of New York the president snld: "I am heartily In favor of legislation along the line of the bill now before congress, for I believe It will result in greater eillclcncy of the organized mili tia as a national asset. I nm advised that practically all differences tx-lweon the war department and the represent atives of the national guard with re spect to the legislation have been satis factorily adjusted." t" Th Retreat From Moscow. Napoleon's army for the Invasion of Russia numbered over 400,000. Only 20,000 returned. During the retreat thousands of horses lay groaning on the route, while thousands of naked wretches were wandering like spec ters who seemed to have no sight or reuse and who only kept reeling on till , frost, famine or the Cossack lanco put ! nn end to their power of motion. In I that wretched state no nourishment ' could have saved them. Innumerable togs crouched by the bodies of their I former masters, looking at their faces J and howling their hunger and their , loss, llcsldes their suffering from the 1 cold nnd for the want of food, they were assailed on nil sides, not only by Russian soldiers, but by peasants through whose country they passed. Altogether, Napoleon's retreat from Moscow was n complication of misery, of cruelty, of desolntlon and of dis order that can never have been ex ceeded In the history of mankind.

Here Is a strange yet absolutely true story, in which a clock plays a myste rious part; It was a small American tlmepieco which Btood on a mantel piece in a sitting room in a Liverpool builder's home. At 11:30 one morning the timepiece fell from the mantelpiece to the lloor. When picked up It was found to bo quite uninjured and still going, as if nothing unusual had hap pened. There Beemed to be absolutely no reason why it should have fallen, but an hour later when the builder came homo to his midday meal he re marked that at 11:30 he fell from the top of a building, but happily without sustaining any injury. His wife Uien described how the clock had fnllcn at the same time and the couple ponder In vain over the curious and utterly inexplicable coincidence. Liverpool Post Broken China Roused Him, When Canon Rnwnsley was collect ing information in tho lake district nbout Wordsworth, ho came upon nn old man who hnd boon a servant nt Rydal Mount. This whilom retainer told many interesting stories. Wordsworth, It seemed, was very absentmlndcd. He nhvays forgot tho dinner hour. "I'd goa," tho old man remarked, "to study door and hear him n-mumblln' away to 'sself. " 'Dinner's ready, sir,' I'd ca' out, but he'd go a-mumbllng on like n deaf man. ya sec. And sometimes Mrs. Wudsworth Mid say: 'Gon and brelt n bottle, or lot a dish fall, just outside his door In passage.' Eh, dear, that maistly wad bring him out, wad that. It was nobbut that a- wad, howivvor. For, ye knn, he wn? a very careful man and he couldn't do with brekking t' china." l'cnrsons. One of the Family. James Seymour, the artist, wan born in Ijonrion In 1702. He displayed a fondness for drawing nnd painting In boyhood and subsequently gained co lebrlty by his skill In designing horses. Once tho proud Duke of Somerset em ployed Seymour to paint a room nt his peat in Sussex with the portraits of his running horses, naving admitted tho artist to his table, he one day drank to him, saying: "Cousin Seymour, your health." The painter replied, "My lord, I real ! ly believe that I have the honor of be ' lng of your grace's family." I This hurt tho pride of the duke so much that he rose from the tnble and ordered his stewnrd to pay Seymour i nnd dismiss him. Finding, however, that no ono In England could complete I tho pictures begun, he condescended to send for his cousin. The painter re Bponded to the message In these words: "My lord, I will now provo that I am of your grace's family, for I won't come." Ths Second Foot of Water. "Second foot," as defined by tho United States geological survey, in nu abbrevntion for cubic foot per second and Is the unit for the rate of dis charge of water flowing In a stream one foot wide, one foot deep, at a rate of ono foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit In meas urements of stream How. "Second feet per square mile" Is the average number of cubic feet of wa ter flowing per second from each square mile of area drn-lnod. on the as sumption that tho run off Is distributed uniformly both ns regards time and area. An "acre foot" is equivalent to 43, CC0 cubic feet and Is the quantity re quired to cover nn acre to the depth of one foot. Tho term Is commorily used in connection with storage for ir rigation work. One second foot flow equals 7.48 United States gallons a spcona 4-3SJ3 gallons n minute, or Declined Her Own Medicine. There is always more or less talk current about abolishing position and dispersing pelf. The trouble is to know just where to begin the destruc tive reconstruction nnd to And reform ers who are willing themselves to bo reformed. An English great lady was once entertaining the Lnbor member of parliament, Henry Broadhurst, tho Duke of Argyle nnd others nt her coun try sent. She was a strong Liberal, nnd one evening inveighed ngalnst the house of lords. It would be swept away If It did not reform, she said with fervor. "Yes," agreed Broadhurst, "and how will you like that, Mrs. I'.t" "Lady r., if you please, sir," In stantly corrected Brondhurst's hostess, drawing herself up haughtily. HPHANS' COURT SALE.
