I said at once that he was a hog. She then informed me that It. was her husband and got mad. Just then her husband came in and called me aside and asked me what his wife said to me. I told him and he got sore, too. He wanted me to apologize, but I refused and told him If he said any more about It I would publish his name in the Democrat "I still say he is a hog."

When "Good Queen Bess," In 1585, decided to establish a store of arms and armor at the old Tower house, a mansion In Woolwich Warren, adjoin ing the then boggy and unhealthy marshes of Plumstead, she little thought that by so doing she was founding Britain's greatest arsenal, which 330 years later would be giving employment to 30,000 men, earning more than $500,000 a week for making munitions of war for the greatest con flict the world has ever seen. That small armory at the Tower houBe, however, was the origin of the Woolwich arsenal of today, which cov ers 600 acres, and where guns of ail sizes, every form of military wagon, shot, shell, torpedoes, cartridges, bul lets, war signals, life-saving rockets, and high explosives are manufactured. Even In the bygone days, however, Woolwich figured largely in military history. It was Prince Rupert who protected the Warren with batteries in Charles II's reign, and other forti fications, which have now disappeared, were added by that king's successor, The Dutch several times threatened the dockyards at Woolwich and at Chatam, while at the end of the sev enteenth century two French priva teers were captured oft Woolwich. It Is obvious that the secrets of the arsenal are most jealously guarded, particularly at the present time. In deed, the government, since the war broke out, has adopted the precaution of recalling all text-books about the arsenal, although in peace times, when the average number of men employed there is about 14,000, visitors of Brit ish nationality, desirous of seeing the arsenal, may do so by obtaining an order from the war office. It might be mentioned, however, that among the most effective guns manufactured at Woolwich are the famous six-inch howitzers of which the French speak so highly, while one of the latest time-saving ideas Is to dip military wagons bodily in huge tanks of paint and hang them up to dry. Woolwich arsenal Is really divided into three great departments, called respectively the Royal Gun factories, the Royal Carriage department and the Royal laboratory. It is In the lat ter that every kind of experiment Is made with explosives, and where of ficers and soldiers learn their use and effectiveness, while In the gun fac tories, which are filled with machinery of the best and most modern kind, guns of all sizes are manufactured for the army and tested over the exten sive practice ranges which were for merly the Plumstead marshes. Apart from the actual workshops, there are various important military establishments at Woolwich. There is the Artillery college, for Instance, which gives special training to offl cers of the Royal Artillery In order to fit them for appointments in the manufacturing departments of the arsenal. Then there is the Royal Military academy, the oldest military school In the kingdom, where men destined for the Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers begin their training, The Royal dockyards at Woolwich was closed nearly fifty years ago, but It continues to be used as a military store depot, and It is Interesting to note that It was the firBt, and for very long the principal, dockyard in the kingdom. The Great Harry was built there In 1562, the Royal George in 1751, the Galatea In 1853, and mors than 200 other ships. And the curious may spend many an interesting hour in the Rotunda museum, which con tains the finest collection of military antiquities and models in the world. in. A Safe Used Truck to Buy, .

Since the Bank of France opened special counters In Paris to receive the people's boarded gold a1 few days ago the yellow coins have continued to flow in an uninterrupted stream. Depositors exchanged gold for bank notes in the first four days in Paris to the extent of $3,000,000. No reports from the provinces have been made out. Capitalists went to the bank in au tomobiles, taking little bags of gold to strengthen the credit of France and help in the national defense. In the early morning hours working men and small employers hurried in on the way4 to their labor to hand In their jeal ously preserved savings. First to respond to the call for more gold were a street lemonade seller who brought two napoleons wrapped in a big rag, and a little seamstress, who proudly gave her soli tary coin. All who take gold to the bank get' In return a receipt slip as a souvenir,' saying for their country's sake they have parted with their treasure. 1 In addition to equivalent value in paper money the Bank of France can issue legally three bank bills of $20 for every $20 in gold. When Finance Minister Ribot asked the governor of the Bank of France to open Bpecial gold-receiving offices in Paris and its provincial branches M. Pallain already had taken steps to this end. Inquiries in many competent quar ters have led to the estimate that gold money held privately In France amounts to $700,000,000, or nearly $80,000,000 less than the total gold re serve now at the Bank of France. Few of the depositors say: "I wish to exchange gold," or, "I wish to pay In gold." All make the simple re mark: "I bring gold." Rich and poor alike are conscious they are taking gold, not to the bank, but for Franco. It would be a mistake for the public to imagine that it is making a sacri fice in exchanging gold for notes, since the gold is unemployed and therefore unprofitable. The bank is naturally anxious to keep aa large a reserve as possible bo as to maintain fully the credit of Its paper issues and at the same time enable the government to pay for supplies from abroad in gold. Another reason why the government wishes the nation's gold to be held in the strong hands of the bank is to pre vent it from being withdrawn pri vately under false pretenses to find Its way to the enemy by trlokery. Ger many and Austria are in desperate straits financially, and are ready to, adopt the most deceitful practices to get gold. ill aWrW-aJ..Si i.. ... . . Cut the Cost of Living!

Mrs. Bernard Morris of 2376 Eighth avenue left her son Philip, fifteen months old, and her daughter Helen, two years old, lying in four inches of water in the bath tub while she went into another room. In a few moments she heard the little girl scream. Rushing into the bathroom, she found the baby floating face downward in the water. Thinking the baby had only turned over, the mother dried him carefully and put him in his cradle. For several minutes she sang and rocked the baby, and then, seing he was quiet, she put her hand on the child's face. It was cold. Doctor Ros- enbluth of the Harlem hospital, who was summoned, said the child was drowned. HOGS SAVE OWNER'S LIFE They Kill Three Snakes With Which a Trout Run Man Was Battling. Clearfield, Pa. Permitted to roam through the woods at will, several pigs belonging to Henry Smith, a wealthy farmer near Trout Run, developed great dislike for snakes. Recently when Smith, while trying to kill two rattlesnakes and a black snake, which were fighting, was at tacked by all three reptiles, his hogs, feeding a short distance away, heard the noise and, coming to his aid with their sharp hoofs and tusks, tore the makes into shreds and devoured them The rattlesnakes, according to Smith, measured three feet in length. The blacksnake was the largest ever seen in this section. LIVE REINDEER FOR BERLIN Ten Thousand to Be Imported From Norway for Slaughtering Experl ment Shipment Satisfactory, Christlanla.

One day Dr. Reed bought a new horse, with which he was much pleas ed until ho discovered that the animal had an insurmountable objection to bridges of all kinds and could not be made to cross one. Inasmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the sur rounding towns, the doctor decided to sell the horse. He did not think it necessary to mention the animal's pe culiarity but was much too honest to misrepresent him and, after some thought, produced the following kdver tisement, which he inserted in a local paper: "For Sale A bay horse, warranted sound and kind.
