Challenged Soldier Demanded Senti¬ nel's Name en Pretext ef Report- Ing Him to Lieutenant.
Amonir the member* rtf the Indiana nnlverslty ambnianre corps at Allen- fown, snys the Indianapolis News, there Is one man who from thla time till will require, while on ipiard duty. any person whom he challenges at night to furnish bis fall pedigree. There Is a renson.
Recently while the aection was on guard at the camp thla man was sta¬ tioned Bt a distant post on the grounds, at a plnce where the guards experience a great deal of trcjnble with men climbing tbe fence dnrlng the wee honra.
Shortly after one o'clock In the morning the guard saw a man climb¬ ing the fence. He hurried up, chal¬ lenged the mnn, nnd asked for an ex¬ planation. It was forthcoming.
"Well," aald the challenged one. "you are to be congratulated. 1 hnve been coming over this fence every night for a week and I have never been challenged before. I would like you to give me your name and your section number, and 1 will report you to your lieutenant."
In a dazed manner the guard did ao nnd the mnn walked oflT. Not until he wns "kidded" by his section inatea on telling the story did he fall for hla being duped. He Is now on the trail of the man whose ingenuity saved himself.

Message Received Indicates Explorers
Have Traversed the Penisula
From South to North.
The peninsula of Labrador haa been traversed from the south to tho north for the first time by a scientific exploring party, according ts •¦ s»- nouncement by Dr. W. .7. HolaaC 4li> rector of the Carnegie museum, at Pittsburgh, following the receipt of a telegram from St. Johns, Newfound¬ land, announcing the arrival at that point of th»; expedition, which under¬ took the Journey.
The exp(^dltion was Jointly financed by the Caruegie mu.seum. the Natlonnl Geognipliic society and Alfred Mar¬ shall of Chicago, who vvas a meniber of the exjilorlng party. In nddltlon to Mr. Marsb.all, the personnel of the ex¬ pedition Included W. B. C. Todd, the curator of ornithology In the Carnegie museum, nnd O. J. Murie. the curator of mammals in the same institution. Th(\v took with them a number of Indiana.
The teleprnm received by Doctor Holland gave no dinalls of the expedi¬ tion other than its safety nnd sue- j cess. A numher of similar attempt.s by eiplorers have failed.

•Tm ao aorry," she apologised, "the road was so dusty nnd I didn't aee yon. These country roads are—for goodness sakel Aren't you Frank Morrison?"
"Mnrgle!" he cr'ed as he recognlaed her and seized ber hand. "Mnrjorle Thompson, you are the laat person on enrth I expected to seel This is a surprise, indeed I"
"Jump Into the car," she Invited. "We cnn talk It all over a lot better when we get out of thla dust."
"Now, tell me nil about yourself," she said hu Frank settled down be¬ side her nnd the car waa moving agnin. "Whnt have you been doing since last we met and what are you doing here?"
"Well," he began, "the last time we met was the night of the graduation at high school, wasn't It? You wore going abroad to study music and I was leaving the next day for the city to take a whirl at reporting on Uncle Joe's newspaper. The Job suited me nnd I've plugged nt It ever since nnd am now special feature writer ut $40 per. I'm on my wny to interview an actress, Marie Tellett. She's all the craze this year. You've beard of her, I'll bet?"
"Yes, go on."
"There's nothing more to tell, ex¬ cept I haven't found this actress' home yet, although I've been wndlng through this dust for over nn hour. It's the worst Job I've tackled since I wa.s a cub. Hut you're not Interested! What nboTit yourself?"
"Oh, I have very little to tell," she replied with Just a little confu.slon In the accompiinylug lauRh. "I got my fill of music abroad nnd wns glad to get back to my own country. I wns so lonely there nnd nlthough I was busy I couldn't help being lonesome for my friends. I liave been home over tv.o years and It has hurt a little to think that one of those friends didn't take time to look me up."
"Forgive me, Mnrgle; I didn't think you cared to hear from me. You meant a whole lot to me when we went to school and wheu you went away I thought I couldn't stand It for a while. The thought of you sort of took the sharp edge^.s of solnc of my big «'arly disappointments, but when Uncle Joe died nnd I didn't get bis fortune ns I had expected, I knew It wasn't much use thinking of you. I thought you would meet some flne fellow abroad who could afford to keep you as you had been accustomed to living.*'

Dale's father. Colonel Dale, was the commander of the Fourth Missouri cnvalry during the Civil wnr. Anumg the ndlcs left by the C(d- onel was n poster announcing n meet¬ ing of soldiers nt the .statehouse In Jefferson City. Mo. This poster Is now the proiierty of the s.m here.
"S(ver;il days ago," snys the owner of tbe poster, "I put th(> relic In th(^ window of my store, thinking it would Interest passerstiy. The poster calls for a meeting of soldiers at the statehouse nt S o'clock. I guess I'll have to tak(> it down as the soldiers In town from Ft. Harrison read the thing and then hend for the statehouse. They don't observe It closely or thc>y'(l discoviT thnt It Is dated 1S03 and that the state- house mentioned was In Jt^fferson City, Mo."
Crepes and Pongees.
Crepe de chine. In spite of its name, does not com»» from China but from .Tapan, Itnly and France. There are no factories for making silk piece goods In China, all the wenvlnj? being dnno by hand. With the exceiitinn of pon¬ gees, the product.^ of the Chinese looms are not popular abroad, except In Oriental countries, being too heavy, nlthough the jmtterns nre wonderfully beautiful nnd the colors exceedingly rich.
The pongees nre woven In the homes of the pensnnts, nnd ns they come from mnny looms no two pieces nre ever ex¬ actly nlike In weight, fineness, color nnd texture. The Shantungs come from the Llutang district, nnd the Nnnshal from the Nlghal district.
Cotton in Brazil.
A. L. Moreau Oottschalk, United States consul general at Rio de Jan¬ eiro, Is enthusiastic over the prospect of a revival of the cotton growing In¬ dustry of Brazil, according to the San Francisco Argonaut. He calls atten¬ tion to the fuct thnt the republic Is the original home of one of the pareut cot¬ tons of the world. Cotton thrives In the country when skilfully cultivated, but the Industry has thus far been neg¬ lected for others more profitable. The consul general advances a Btrong point when he snys that a by-product of the cott(»n Industry—cottouseed oil cake— would be a yreat help to the cotton raisers.
