Naval and Military Cadet Uniforms.

The question has often been asked
why the army cadets at Wset Point wear
agray uniform while the uniform Of the
armyis blue. The origin of this distinc-
tiondates back to the war Of 1S12-14,
when the commissary general of the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for Gen. Winfield SCOTS bri-
gade, and SO they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct OF
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war Of 1912,
a reorganization Of the West Point
military academy was made, out OF
compliment to Gen. Scott and his brig
ade the uniform of the corps Of cadets
was changed from blue to gray.

A Tricky Butcher.
Philadelphia Record.

"The greatest business mind ever
ran up against was possessed by the
former proprietor of a meat market
out in Germantown" said street car
conductor the other day as his Car was
waiting on Front street. "This
butcher had fine, squeaky voice.
which you could hear block away
Tricky? Yes, that's just what you
would call it. 1 used to watch him
sometimes when he was waiting on
customers, and it was positively
amusing to see the apparent ease with
which he would make two-pound
steak weight apparently three or more
pounds.
"He would take couple OF pounds
of meat and throw it on the scales SC
that the pointer would show fouI
pounds and then take it off before the
scales could register the true weight
There's just four pounds exactly he
would say to the customer in that
squeaky voice of his, and then con-
tinue with the statement quickly
made: -Four times IL is IS. Call il
co. and unless the customer wa.
watching him closely he would always
get even change.
"He was in the meat business only
a few years and amassed competency
Then he left it. What worries me
is how he is going to get along now.
l understand he is in the real estate
business, and l wonder how he works
it when he sells piece of land. The
scales won't help him much there"

ARCHIBALD VS.. CARBoNDALE.
Lively Game at Alumni Park, May
field. Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon at Alumni park,
Alayfield. the Carbondale and Archibald
High school elevens met on the grid
iron and the latter won by the score
of 80. Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, only a small crowd assembled.
From the beginning of the game the
fact was clearly demonstrated that
Archibald was superior in every respect.
Giles, captain Of the Carbondale eleven,
who was not playing, owing to an in
jury received in practice, acted as ref
cree.
Vail, Stocker and Mcdonald did
brilliant work for Archibald, especially
the former. whose work at left half
back was magnificent. The touchdown
was made by Mcdonald. From present
indications Archibald High school will
have a strong team on the gridiron
next year.

OUR GREAT MISSION.

Now God has moved us OUT from our
old isolation without any will of our
own to take our place as a mighty
Christian nation, alongside that other
great Christian nation, Great Britain.

standing point of Christian civilization

At this point a picture of the world
awaiting Americas uplifting was elo-
quently given, and a brilliant refuta-
ton of arguments of those who cry

one Of the great lessons of the wear
Is that Bible-loving and God fearing
nations are to dominate England and
America can hold the balance Of mower
so that the two great war lords. one
from his muscOvite fastness and the
other from the Mount of Olives, as in
his visit to Palestine he lays the cor
ner-stone OF the German church. may
well take their stand for the peace Of
the world. England was handicapped
three years ago by the attitude of the
other powers, but today single tele-

magnanimity to our nations foes.

but ordinary vision to see he has been

Two union Thanksgiving services
were held in the central city yesterday
morning.
At the Second Presbyterian church
the congregations of the First and
Second churches worshipped; and in
the Penn Avenue Baptist church the
congregation of that church and of
the Elm Park church returned thanks.
Rev. G. +. Robinson, d. n, delivered
the sermon in the Second Presbyterian
church and Rev. Robert +. Y. Pierce
spoke in the Penn avenue church.
Both services attracted large congre-
cations.
The union services ct the Second
Presbyterian church were particularly
delightful. A beautiful programme of
music was conducted by Mr.. j. NJ.
Chance. Rev DR.. Robinson gave the
sermon, a fine effort that held the
attention of the large congregation.
The text was from | Chron., Xvi:31,
Let men say among the nations, the
LORD Reigneth."
In beginning he spoke of the differ
Cnce in conditions between this
THANKSGIVING and one year ago: the
change in the map Of the world and the
possibilities confronting us. The Turk
ish atrocities were recalled and the
incidents connected with the indffer-
ence of Christian Europe were noted.
He then graphically portrayed the con-
ditions in Cuba for many years down
to the tragedy of the Maine and con-
trasted the action of America with
that of Europe with regard to Turkey.
He recalled the statement of Colonel
Woodford, late minister to Spain to the
effect that had not the Maine been
blown up and had not the letter of De
Lone been discovered he believed that
the Spanish flag would have left Cuba
before the summer of 1885 without war,
but he is the last man to hold this
government responsible for those two
facts. The American people were alb
solutely innocent of these two provi-
dentially directing factors.
Colonel John w. Foster. however, de-
clares that war could not have been
averted. The speaker believed that
the entire movement was taken out of
the hands of man by an overruling
Providence. Spain has no moral rights
to any of these colonies from Porto
Rico TO the Philippines, and has never
realized the real responsibilities and
solemn obligations of government The
voices Of the Inquisition underneath
the altar of God and Of the Indian
races betrayed and trodden underfoot
crying Lord how long." have had
their answer this summer in the de-
struction of the Spanish fleet.
May Spain so learn her lessons.
Should she do so she might move out
into a finer. nObler grander future
than she has dreamed of in the past.
War is at times infinitely grander than
peace bought by indifference to wrongs
and sufterings of others. The Christian
powers of Europe would have received
the plaudits of humanity had they tax
en- up the cause of Armenia. The un-
selfish sacrifice of America for the tri-
| umph of right is a remarkable object
| lesson.
