1t is the opinion that the board will, among
its recommendations, include the following: {:
For officers, the adoption of darker blue
trousers, the abolition of the present uD-

TO permit the swords to be worn outside !;

tiOn to vessels Of the merchant marine to

HOW ARMOUR FELL IN LOVE.
1t Was the Turning Point in the Chicag
Millinnaira,s LIE.


Millionaire's Life.
One of the frequent visitors to New York
is P. D. Armour, the Chicago millionaire,
the "king OF dressed beef and a Director
in the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road.
His story. as he told during one of his recent
visits TO New York, says the Press, is most
interesting.
Mr.. Armour has time when he is in New
York to be humorous. Pressed for infor-
nation which would perhaps benefit the ris-
ing generation he said: "My first transaction
was a love scrape. 1t wasn't successful.
And it was the turning point In my life
actually the turning point. Il led to
my expulsion from school. l wont
my expulsion from school man walked
into my Office and called me out.
knew him. He was Professor Hyde. He
said he had heard of my success in life and
he had come to tell me that in the matter of
that expulsion he was the only member of
the faculty who had voted for my retention
l said to him: You have been long while
coming in with your explanation He
went out. l meant what | said. | have
had the action OF that faculty laid away un-
his wai.tcoat which is over his hearD ever
since"
If it were the proper thing to quote poetry
in connection with the greatest packer on
the face of the earth one might say, looking
at Mr., Armour after he had related the
above, referring TO the smile:
Itfaded as 1t came.
1t is known that p. d. Armour was born
on farm in New York State. 1t is known
that he did what all farmers sons did
slaved 1t from morning until night. 1t Is
known that at the age of 20. after he had
loved and lost and had been expelled from
school, he showed the thorn in his heart
Joined the procession headed west and be-
came gold-seeker in the gulches of Cali
fornia. 1t is known that his dirt" never
"panned."
1t is known that he was taken sick and
fingered in the vicinity of death away out
In California. 1t is known that through
friends he left the fields of gold and came
back and settled in Milwaukee. John
Plankinton was in Milwaukee then buying
and killing hogs. 1t is known that ne gave
Armour job as clerk; and that from that
time the latter continued to grow in the
favor of Plankinton until the firm of Plank
nton. & Armour was established. 1t is
known that Mr.. Armour made himself in
dispensable to the firm. and that from
fortune knocked at every door and window
and keyhole of Mr.. Armour's place of bust
ness.
This same fortune which Is SO fondiy
wooed, hunted and begged for by countless
thousands without avail refuses to leave Mr..
Armour's embrace. ut walketh with him
by day." and when he wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams 1t nestles in the silken
folds and greets bis waking moment with a
golden caress.
A man who knows him we'll adds this:
at is Armour's Will that has made him
what he is. He fixes his eye on something
| ahead, and no matter what rises upon the
| right or the left he never sees it. He goes
straight ahead in pursuit of the object
| ahead, and overtakes it at last. He never
| lets up on that for which he starts out"

A Cable Train stopped by . Cat.

Only black cat and woman's scream
this combination stopped a string of South
Side cable trains last night for a quarter OF
an hour. Car $50 was rattling along north
ward at the lively gait which the South Side
vehicles put on near Twenty-fourth street on
Cattage Grove avenue. On the front seat in
the grip sat young woman who was eating
popcorn. Near Baum's Pavilion n black oh.
ject was noticed moving across the street
Right in front of the Rlarng bulrs-eye the
object stopped. Clang! clang! went tile
gong. but the object did not move. Never,
never-then the young woman screamed
and the object jumped. 1t was big black
cat. The gripman put on the brake and
every one jumped off. The cat was gone,
but the young woman was stretched out In
faint. A bottle of brown pop was the only
restorative at hand, and it was used with
effect. The conductor wanted to know the
whole story from the gripman. Then the
young woman wanted to tell her version of
it. Darn the cat" said one practical man,
who had an appointment to keep down
town. =" Darn that young woman" said the
conductor, half to himself. Why don't
you darn the popcorn?" said the young
woman. Twas the smell Of it stopped
the cat."-Chicago Herald.

RIFLE SHOOTING.
Good Scores at the Different
Ranges Yesterday.
That at Shell Mound Patronizsd by Guards
men-Practice at Sehutzen Parl,-The
Germania Club at Harbor View.

The different rife ranges were well patro-
nlzed yesterday. At Shell Mound the
militia was well rel resented. Company f
OF the Fifth Regiment turned out in good
numbers and many creditable scores were
made. Company B of the Third Regiment
were out for practice, and, as usual, kept
two targets in busy operation. Company d
OF the First Regiment held their monthly
medal contest and showed up well before
the butts.
great deal of interest was shown in the
performance OF three Japanese marksmen,
VINO are constant visitors at thi5 range.
The Japs showed the spectators that
they understood the use of arms, and very
often scored bulPs-eye.
The German Fusileer Guards held their
annual picnic and shooting festival. They
provided bulPs-eye target for the public
TO win laurels on, but compelled the partici-
pants to use the guns and ammunition OF
the company. A company target was also
provided at which the members of the guard
competed for prizes.
Several private matches were held by
visiting marksmen. after they had conf
pieted their medal and practice scores in
their different companies. These private
matches go long way toward perfecting
marksman for fine rifle shooting. In a conf
petition OF this kind a rfleman is placed on
his mettle, and all his skill and nerve are
required to make him keep up to his work.
AT Schutzen Park the sharpshOoters were
hard at work practicing for their coming
contest with The Zettley Club of New i ork.
Both the team of fifteen and the reserve
nred score of fifty shots" each and many
line totals were the result.
At Harbor View the Germania Club held
their postponed medal contest. a good
number of marksmen were present and the
scores are creditable ones.
