WAK1N6 UP ABOUT THE ABNIY
Some years ago the temperance folk,
so-called. woo ? K'cat victory In secur
ing the abolishment of the canteen
from the army post. Since then an
anxious inquiry has been crowing mote
and moro frequent in and out of the
army as to why it is so difficult to main
tain the standard of numbers and effi
ciency in the army. Of course, the
abolishment of the canteen did not
start the inquiry? only increased Its
frequency. Lately the cry it every
where heard for betterment of condi
tions in the army.
(Secretary Taft has joined with Chief
of Staff Franklin Bell in recomm?nd:
tog to the president snd to congress
radical reforms tending to humanizing
the life of the entitled men.
"To hold a man in the service thirty
years and deny h'm the privilege of
normal life, which is married life, It
impossible," says General Bell. "To
permit all to marry is equally lmpossU
ble. In my opinion, the restoration of
the canteen feature would operate for
greater efficiency and contentment."
Then the general suggests that the
government provide quarters for mar
ried non-commissioneJ officers and give
them a general increase in pay. He
aUo recommends that a new grade of
warrant officers be created to be above
that of a non-commissioned officer.
General Bell thicks more clo hes should
be allowed the army men; that their
rations should be improved; that they
bo given better quarters, more amuse
me-t, and that the tax of 12)? cen s for
the support of the soldiers' homo should
be abolished.
WHAT 'S THE USE
William Kills Corey, the steel king,
who would listen to nobody nor noth
lu' in bis desire to be off with th a old
love aod ou with the new has not been
i?ettin^ ou with the new. The yellow
papers tr 11 stories of how the man with
the megaphone in lbs seeing New York
wagon tells his little audience two or
three times a day, as tbey pass the
millionaire's mansion in New York,
that "this Is the gi'ded bird cage
wherein the bird knows no song but
'What's the Use"'
And Mr. Corey has been back to the
od home lately talking 'business
matters ' with hi* former wife- the
wife of h's struggling days. The tale
is being repeated as a lesson to others.
Will It be? Never once. For the
vanity of each man and woman Is indi
vidual? these mistakes in love may
happen to all oth-rs, but "never in
MY case ? I know."
ALL THE LUXURIES OF A PAUCE
Every time a new Atlantic liner U
floated the story goes out that here
is the limit in tbatlloe. iThe Lusitania
was so crowned until the arrival of the
Mauretania which waa only a few weeks
after.
And now, only a few weeks aftvr the
Mauritania comcs the Europa? Ham
burg-American? almost completed at
Belfast. It is s->id of her that she is to
have all the improvements to be found
on the latest steamships; elevators,
swlmmitig pools, restaurants ar.d palm
rooms, and in addition a few that are
new. Among them will be a complete
Parisian dressmaking establishment
and a tailor shop with English, French
and American tailors. There will also
be a complete jewelry establishment
that travelers aboard may patronize
and put in tbe usually limited time in
Paris and London doing other thing*
than shopping. The steamer will carry <
two enormous tanks, itv which It ia 1
planned to briDg lire soles from Dover -
and Stetln for New York markets. She
is to be 40,000 tool gross.
TRAGEDY
The troubles of the Thaw family -o
cumuiate. At the first trial of Harry
Thaw the Countess of Yarmouth, his
sister, was in constant attendance.
There were protests from the relatives
of the Earl of Yarmouth. The coun
tess will be unable to atteQd the pres
ent trial because the hearing of her di
vorce suit necessitates her presenoe in
England.
Mrs. 'lhaw, mother of these two,
once the very head and front of the
really exclusive millionaire set, forosd
to accept financial aid from Mend* to
pay the cost of the son'i trial, has
hitherto, until today, when called
as witness, bean unable to
attend because physically unfit, from
a broken heart. Some might say that
the firing of a pistol by a silly boy and
tbe killing of a roue constituted trag
edy. There is tragedy in this case, but
| it does not lie here.
Speaking of blowing up the big fleet
by some Weary Willies down in Bra
zil recalls a half forgotten incident?
tbatof the blowing up of the Maine.
Let's see, wasn't the Maine blown up by
some Spaniards once? If recollection
serves, there followed a series of blow
ings up. And then?? tut, tut? how
these things do get away from one.
Bryan? of the whole country ? John
son, of Minnesota; and now Judge
Grey, agaio, of Delaware. Your dem
ocratic choice among these three.
It is reported to be quite the thing
for women of the smart set to smoke
cig'rettes in certain of the cafes of
New York. And this in a country
,c

where the men are toberlne up and the
rountry "going dry. Here la occasion
(or co'umne and columns of moralising
? ?'gnifyiog nothing.

It would be well to apply It to the ntw
sect of t?at nam* down In Washington.
III MOONLIGHT
Was ever music lovller than tonight?
'Twos Schumann's "Song of Moon
light;" o'er the vale.
The new moon lingered near the west
ern hllis;
The hearth flro glimmered low; but
melting tones
Blotted .all else from memory and
thought,
And all the world was musicl Wond
rous hour!
Then ?ank anew Into our tranqed hearts
On$ secret and deep lesson of sweet
sound?
The loveliness that from unloveliness
Outsprlngs. flooding the soul with poig
nant joy,
As the harmonious chords to hareb suc
ceed,
And the rapt spirit climbs through pain
to bliss;
Eternal question, answer Infinite;
As day to night replies; as light to
shade;
As summer to rough winter; death to
life
Death not a Hosing, but an opening
door,
A deepened life, a prophesy fulfilled,
Not In the very present oomrs reply,
But In the flow of time. Should the
song cease
Too soon ere yet the rooted answer
blooms,
Lo, what a pang of loss and dissonance;
But time, with the resolving and in
tended tone
Heals all, and makea all beautiful and
right.
Even so our mortal musicmakers frame
Their messages melodious to men;
Even so the Etern His might harmonies
Fashon, supreme, of life, and fate, and
time.
