An Army Oncer Stands the supreme Test
OF Belief In Fntalism.
In the days of the "old army on the
frontier, when military posts were
sometimes hundreds of miles from any
civilized place, there was little TO do in
the way of amusement in the winter
time when the post was snowbound,
and it was then that the reputation the
army has for card playing and drink
ing was gained. And it is true that a
great deal of both was done at that

is set, and nothing can advance it.
Well this belief had been discussed
long and earnestly. The pros and cons
had been gone over ut length, till one
officer wanted to know of what use was

of the question, and that he would give |

birth from above?
lie could get no one to try the ex-
pertinent on him. Finally wager was

subject, as he drew his pistol and
showed that it was loaded. He placed
the pistol against his temple and pulled
