held only in the highest hands.
10 has not escaped your penetration that
general staff cannot be imprOyised at the last
moment on the outbreak of war: that it must
be prepared long beforehand in peace and be
in practical activity and constant intercourse
with the troops. But even that is not enough.
The general staff must know who its future
commander will be. must be in close inter
course with him and gain his confidence, with
out which its position is untenable.
Great is the advantage If the head OF the
State is also the leader in war. He knows his
general staff and his troops, and IS known by
them In such armies there are no pronuncl-

However. the Constitution does not IN oil

changes, movement is on foot among the
farmers to form a Joint stock company and
erect steam mill at or near Ringgold. From

succeed.

WHO HE WAS.

At Smiths hotel, at Bakers Reef, he registered
one day
A dapper little fellow in q suit of natty gray.
He came among US with smile suavity it
self,
And with an air of freedom that betrayed the
man of pelf.
He had two trunks, and said he really thought
OF bringing more,
And all the time wondered where I'd seen the
chap before.
His spotless suits of flannel and the neck ties
he displayed,
Raised Jumps Of envy in our Threats and left US
half dismayed-
He had some dozen russell shoes, and hats for
every hour,
And sought by these imposing arts to ge: with
in his power
The summer girls who hung around near
Barker's Reef and shore,
And all the time wondered where I'd seen the
chap before.
One day he played at tennis, and bis blazers
gorgeous hue
Came up before my vision in an object that
knew.
Ny once in the city's street rose up before
my eye;
saw three stripes of color that were on pole
near by,
And then ceased to wonder where I'd met that
chap before;
He was the little barber in the basement shop
next door.
