But when the war broke out all was suddenly changed. The newly-created soldier. fousd it essential, i . . . : Regulations prohibited the smallest exhibition of any kind of ornament on his breast. If he put a watch inside his tunic he had to half-unbutton his garment to get at it. If he hid it in his trouser pocket he was more than liable to break it More than 8,000,000 wrist watches have been bought for soldiers and civilians since the war broke out Australia avoids orphan asylums by sending parentless children to private families, which are paid for their care until they are fourteen years old.

RULES GHOSTS DO NOT EXIST

i KANSAS CITY, Mo., .. Oct. , 14. Spooks! Are there or are there not? jtThat la the question.

Attorneys for E. C. Britt based a

15,000 slander of title emit on the fact

that W. H. Hardley had testified that In a big house in West Fifty-eighth

Street Terrace spooks walked the halls hvlth hollow footsteps in the eerie IJiours. i Attorneys for Eardley argued that ithere were no such things as ghosts, jand therefore, the mere fact a man eaid that spmething which did not exist ; "haunted" the house was not a (basis for a suit . ... f Judge Lucas admitted that he had .never met a ghost face to face and declared the law did not have a speaking (acquaintance with ghosts. He sustained the demurrer,' giving Britt's attorneys ten' days in which to .file an amended petition in an attempt to prove slander by some other method than ghosts.

DURBAN, Oct. 14. Another attempt is being made to solve the mystery of the late Boer President Ringer's gold, which is supposed to have been shipped in the small sailing vessel Dorothea from Delagoa Bay in 1897. This is the seventh expedition in search of the vessel which was wrecked at Cape Vidal, on the coast of Zululand. She carried bullion to the value of $5,000,000,- which it is alleged, was stowed in cement.
