brave as any in the world, 20 per cent
would run away if they could, and in
every army, even ours, which a man
enters only Of free will, there is a GER
tain proportion who literally cannot
overcome their fears. They are strick-
en- with a sort OF paralysis. The proper
ton Is probably not high in any army,
the majority, if in health being able to
do their duty, and having intense mo-
tives to do it,: but neither is the pro-
portion high of those who literally feel
no fear.
There are such men, who do not quite
understand what the emotion is, as
there are also some who have in eX-
IRENE danger a sense Of pleasure which
sometimes not only quickens their
blood, but distinctly increases their in
tellectual force. This is said to have
been true of General Picton, who,
though hard, rough man, was an AN
gel when bullets were about; and was
undoubtedly true of the first Lord
Cough, who had a trick, highly dis
agreeable to his staff, of seeking points
of full exposure to the enemy's fire.
The immense respect paid to such men
in all armies shows, however, that they
are exceptional, and on the whole, we
belive that the opinion of the first Sir
Henry Havelock is very nearly the
truth. The writer once had an oppor-
tunity during a discussion on the utility
of the Victoria Cross of crosse estion-
ing that famous general on the subject,
and never forgot his reply. I'm my ex-
perience,' he said, Sin any British regi-
ment there are always a hundred men
who would storm the gates of hell,
eight hundred who if they did it would
follow in, one hundred who want to
skulk in the bitches, and about thirty
who actually do skulk there or else

MILITARY rn1rRAGE

The question of the comparative pro-
portion of really brave men in any
army will probably never be determin-
ed. Great officers on the continent keep
their knowledge on that subject rigor-
ously as n professional secret, and as
sumo as a certainty that all soldiers
are brave. They know very well. how
ever, that they are not, and when con-
fidential will admit, as Marshal Won
Moltke once did in public, that with a
great number it takes discipline, and
severe discipline too, to induce them to
face shells unshrinkingly American
officers have been known to acknowl-
edge that of their men, who are as

THE RUSH OF THE OREGON

They held her south to Magellan's mouth,
Then east they steered her, forth
Through the farthr gate Of the crafty
strait,
And then they held her north.
Six thousand miles to the Indian Isles!
And the Oregon rushed home,
Her wake q swirl of jade and pearl,
Her bow a bend of foam.
And when at Rio the cable sang
There is war, grim war with Spain!"
The swart crews grinned and stroked their
guns
And thought on the manged Maine
In the gimmring gloom of the engine room
There was joy to each grmy soul,
And fainting men sprang up again
And heaped the blazing coal.
Good need was there to go with care;
But every sailor prayed
Or gun for gun or six to one
To meet them, unafraid.
Her goal at last! With joyous blast
She hailed the welcoming roar
OF hungry sea-wolves curved along
The strong hiIled Cuban shore.
Long nights went by Her beamed eye
Unwavering searched the bay
Where. trapped and penned for a certain
end
The Spanish squadron lay.
Out of the harbor a curl of smoke
And watchful gun rang clear.
Out of the channel the squadron broke
Like a bevy Of frightened deer.
Then there was shouting for "steam, more
steam!'
And fires glowed white and red
And guns were manned and ranges planned,
And the great ships leaped ahead.
Then there was roaring of choruslng guns,
And shatter OF shell and spray.
And who but the rushing Oregon
Was fiercest in chase and fray?
For her mighty wake was seethlng snake;
Her bow was a billow of foam;
Like the mailed fists of an angry wight
Her shot drove crashing home.
Pride of the Spanish navy, hoi
Flee like a bounded beast!
For the Ship of the Northwest strikes a.
blow
For the Ship Of the far Northeast
In quivering JOY she surged ahead
Aflame with flashing bars,
Till down sunk the Spaniard's gold and red
| And up ran the clustered stars!
| Desperate dash and daring rash
| Are grand in peace and war,
But the calm, deep hate that can plan and
wait
| Is deadlier by far.
| Glory to share? Aye and to spare;
But the ch!efest is hers by right
or rush of fourteen thousand miles
For the chance of bitter fight,

The Golf Craze Has Many Converts,
One Round of Pleasure

One Round of Pleasure
Hail! Golf, the guide to health.
More precious than all wealth.
No bottled physic can compare
With one sweet drive, so strong, so rare.
REDONDO, Aug. 13.-Golf, golf, golf, on
all sides the sole topic of conversation, fur
nishing as it does an infinite variety of
themes for discussion. In golf alone is
self-praise excusable, is Boosting of ones
own good plays permissible and faisehoods
highly condemned. "Its a great game" is
the universal expression, and although
Southern California has been little slow
in taking to the Scotch game ii Is now fully
imbued into the golf craze. New converts
are being made daily from young boys who
are SO small they have to have the shortest
clubs made shorter, to old. staid business
men who for thirty years have not in
dulged in any such "foolishness."
Among the most recent converts at this
resort are William Pridham Sheldon Bor-
den and ]. Fred Griffith, who can be seen
daily going back and forth to town studi-
ously reading various treaties on 'How TO
Play Golf,' and who are up in the morn
for round at the game before the regular
trip to the city.
On the evening of the Sth inst. the second
golf ball OF the season was held in the bail
room of the hotel and was very largely at
tended. A supper was served in the hotel
dining room and although the dancing
stopped at u O'Clock the cool, delightful
night was enjoyed to a much later hour on
the large verandas Of the hotel. Among
those who came down from town for the
dance were: Guy Cochran Miss Cowan,
