ORDERS VERSUS scRuPLes.
a Soldier Punished For Refusing to Praes

Soldier Punished For Refusing to Praos
tice Target Shooting ON Sunday.
Charles o. Cedarquist, private, Com.
pany A, Second infantry, stationed Gt
Omaha, has been found guilty of dis
obeying his superior officer in refusing
because Of religious scruples to attend
target practice on Sunday and sentenced
to be confined at hard labor for period
Of six months and to forfeit to the Unit
ed States $40 per month of his pay for
the same period. This is the first time
such case has arisen in the annals OF
the army, and the decision and finding
of the court martial established preo-.
odent for future cases of a similar ma
ture. The case has attracted great
deal Of attention in army and religious
circles
The defense was practically limited
to the contention that the order, in re-
speot Of which disobedience was charg-
ed, was an unlawful one in that-iirst,
it enjoined a duty to be performed on
Sunday in violation of orders and regu-
lations limiting Sunday labor in the
army to the measure of strict necessity,
and, second, that the act required to be
done would have been violation Of
section PAL of the criminal code of Ne
braska. The decision says:
''That commanding officer has dis
cretion under existing orders to require
target practice by his command ON SUM-
d., %
The evidence in this case fails to fix up
on the commanding officer any abuse Of
discretion in the issue of the order COM
planned Of by the accused The legality
of that order and the obligation of the
accused to obey it when duly transmit-
ted to him canrot be questioned It was
not for him to judge Of the necessity for
tho issuance Of the order. The discre-
tion pertained to his commanding off,
Ger as to whether one existed, and,
whether enormously or not, it was the
duty Of the accused to obey. 1t is conced-
ed that soldiers stationed at Bolleview
rifle range, Nebraska, who, as individ-
uals, engage in hunting and shooting
on Sunday, would be within the provi-
sions of the sections referred to and liza
BILE to its penalties, but after careful
consideration the reviewing authority
is Of the opinion that the state could
not make nor has it by this section or
any other legislation to which his at
tention has been called, attempted to
make the performance on Sunday of
target practice or any other duty per-
tanning to the instruction and discipline
of the army u criminal offense.
The occasion is deemed opportune for
inviting the attention of the depart
ment to the-fact that the obligations Of
military service will never permit sol
dier to refuse obedience to an order be-
cause in his Judgment it is unneces
sary.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

excited over the appearance there of a
person who claims to be the. heir Of tho

The claimant describes himself rs Lord
st. Maur, who was supposed to have
been dead for 80 years. He was acci-
dentally wounded by bear while shoot
ing in India and died soon after The
claimant admits the encounter with tho
bear, but says he escaped from his claws
and got away with some scratches,
which he will exhibit when the timo

the assertion that he was taken prisoner

RAW BEEF FOR WRINKLES.
A Girl Who Used 1t Lost Her Lover, but
Didn't Give Back His Presents.

Didn't Give Back His Presents.
Joseph Slavinski, tailor of Browns
vile, Brooklyn, was to have been mar
ried to Rosa Marks, neighbor, with
whom he had kept company for nearly
year, in about month. Rosa is
known all over Brownsville for her good
looks and had many admirers before
she met Slavinslzi. One day last week
Slavinski received an anonymous letter
saying his afianced was in the habit
Of using raw beef to beautify her face,
and that she used paint to blacken her
eyelashes. Slavinski made an investi-
CATION and is alleged to have discovered
that the girl had wrinkles in her face
and for long time had used raw beef
to take them away.
Slavinslli wrote to Rosa breaking off
the engagement and requesting her to
return diamond ring and a silk um-
brella which he had given her. She re-
fused, and Slavinski had her in the Sec
ond district civil court in Broadway,
williamsburg, Oh summons to explain
why she refused to return the articles.
When Justice Peterson was told that
raw beef had caused the engagement te
be broken he said to the girl:
''If you have used raw beef on your
face, it's had good effect, for it undoubt-
edly has drawn out some hidden beau
ty."
The justice added that as long as Sla-
vinski had given the ring and the UNI
brella to Rosa they were her property.

ANIMAL SGNTRiES.
They Are Posted by the Flock OF Herd to
Guard Against Surprise.

They Are Posted by the Flock OF Herd to
Guard Against Surprise.
The too eager sportsman is often
ballred of shot by tho watchful senti-
mel posted to guard the flock or the herd
against surprise. Posting a sentry is
the most universal of the instincts which
use organization as means of defense.
Chamois, ibex and other mountain an
telopes always post a sentinel. Always
when herd of seals is sleeping on the
rocks there is watcher. This instinct,
The Spectator informs us, survives even
in animal captivity.
"When the prairie dogs at the zoo
occupied a small paddock, they always
kept sentinel On duty, although he
seldom uttered his warning whistle,
having learned probably that the visit
ors would not como inside the railings.
The prairio dogs at the Jariin d 'Accli-
matisation Of Paris observe the same
prccaution. AS is we'll known, wild
geese are particularly wary in this re-
spect. Mr. st. John says that 'they
seem to act in so organized and cautious
manner when feeding or roosting as
to defy all danger. Whom flock Of
wild geese has fixed on field of newly
sown grain to feed in, before alighting
they make numerous circling flights,
and the least suspicious object prevents
them from pitching.
''Supposing that all is right and they
do alight, the whole fool for space
of minute or two remain motionless,
with erect head and neck reconnoiter-
ing the country around. They now ap-
pear to have made up their mind that
one sentry, who either stands on some
elevated part Of the field on walks slowly
with the rest--never, however, ventur-
ing to pick up single grain of corn,
his whole energies being employed in
watching The most curious part has to
follow. When sentry thinks he has
performed a fair share OF the duty, he
gives the bird nearest him sharp peck. )"
Mr.. St. John declares that he has
seen the sentry occasionally pull out q
bunch Of feathers when the first hint
was not Immediately attended to and at
the same time utter qucrulous cry.
Wild swans are almost as cautious as
wild geese. The signal Of danger differs
with the species OF animals, but the
alarm note seems to be universally un-
derstood by the sentinel's followers.
Wild geese and swans have peculiar
call, as Of o bugle; rabbits and sheep
stamp on the groundi wild ducks inter
a low and cautious quack; elephants
whistle ibex and mountain sheep whis-
tie. ---Rod aad Gun
