American Soldiers of Today.

rioh the Army and Navy Journal.
The more the people, come in contact with
our army the higher,.it Will stand in non
tlar estimation. In an article in the New
YORK Herald col.sd Loomis l.. Langdon
truthfully says of ii: The American SOL
oler OF today is bright, intelligent, active
1alrY educated young man. of temperate
habits, and comm&ndable ambition, and,
moreover as a rule.s of a most prepos-
sessing personalitN-lI 1have been especially
led 20 these refiections by witnessing the
most interesting military maneuversz at
Madison Square Garden. The personnel of
Captain Dodd,s Troop. F, I'd Cavalry: Lieut.
George ID. Gately's section of Captain
Ihorp's Light Battery, 5th Artillery, and
the detachment of the 18th Infantry under
Lieutenant Butts, Is enough to impress
the most casual observer with the fact
that great change has come over our
army as regards the appearance, the ply
sique. the intelligence and the charac ter
of the enlisted men, and In particular as
regards their all-around efficiency The
exhibition in the Madison Square Garden
OF the wonderful drill of these men las at
tracted most deServedly admiring throngs
that lose no opportunity to express their
sympathy with these splendid soldiers and
their admiration for the intelligence alert
ness. precision and enthusiasm displayed
In the maneuvers I have seen nothing
like this work by soldiers of foreign
armies, lor do / believe that anything like
this instruction is given in those armies
1t makes one proud Of our army to see
such work so well done, and to see mill
tary duty made so attractive and SO effi-
cient in training the youth of our coun-
try. 1t gives new meaning to life when
a young man can look forward with i'll
finite pleasure to becoming an active am
bilious. and patriotic soldier, loving his
country and his profession, and caring
little how or where the end comes
Ii every member of Congress understood
the real character of the officers and men
of the service, we do not think there would
be so much hesitation about legislating or
their behalf. Unfortunately, the Congress
men often see the worst side of the army.
To them come the growls and complaints
and the indications of selfish desire on the
part of some to ask more than they are
entitled to. and at the expense of those
whose quiet devotion to duty Is unnoticed
and unheeded. and thus fails to make the
impression it should.

see that no one was looking Che did not

arranged a new funnel in the tube and
after taking another glance around the
room. slowly poured the sherry wine out of
the bottle into the tube. With a gleeful
look upon his face he next proceeded to
uncork the beer bottles. He slowly poured
the contents of both bottles into the tube
and then rested quietly.
Shortly after this there was great noise

against the wall. The assistant surgeon,
making his call, entered the room. He did
not know what had happened until he saw
the empty wine bottle. The surgeon ap-

stern tones commanded his patient to re-
