CASTING OFF A LINE.
Mr.. Glimby Meets with Little Expe-
rience on New York Wharf.

| rience on New York Wharf.
'tI'm afraid there's one towboat
captain who would not give me a
job if should apply said Mr..
Blimby, and that is the man whose
line ! cast off in South street the
other day. The tug was lying along
the end of the wharf, hanging by a
single line, with the loop around the
head of Spite, and the other end
made fast around the forward bits
aboard the boat The captain was
in the pilothouse, and he called to
the deokhand that he guessed they
would go up to pier 919. was
standing on the end of the wharf,
and when the deckhand began cast
ing the line off from the bits /
started for the Spite to cast it off
there.
ST like boats, and I've loafed
along South street good deal, and
I've seen a million men cast off
lines, but it's funny thing had
never cast off one myself, but was
going to now. All the men ever
saw cast off a line just took hold Of
it and lifted it right off, easy. !
took hold of this one with perfect
confidence, but the first thing, /
knew it sagged down and stuck on
the other side of the Spite, and it
did the same thing again when ]
tried, which I did somewhat hastily
from another point. It didn't come
off easily at all, and finally | had to
take hold of it with both hands and
lift it up carefully clear of the Spite,
while the captain, looking out of
the pilothouse window, and the
deokhand, standing by the bits and
looking up at me from the deck,
smiled good humoredly at my clum-
siness. By that time | had discov-
cred that in casting off a line, as in
most other things, man must learn
how to do it before he can do the
work we'll. But the worst was yet
to come.
II had always Observed that when
a man cast off line he hung on to
it for a moment and walked along
the wharf till he was somewhere
near abreast of the man who was
taking it in aboard and then gave it
a little toss, SO as to keep it out of
the water, keeping it dry to make it
last longer and make it easier and
pleasanter to handle When l had
finally got this line off, held on to
It and walked with it toward the
boat to toss the loop aboard, but
noticed that the man on deck took |
up the slack very promptly and full
y as l came along. He didn't give
ne credit for knowing anything
about keeping the line out of the
water. He was prepared to see me
ust simply drop it when / struck
he stringpiece, and he was taking
Up the slack short so that he could
Keep it out of the water himself I
when I let go.
And SO they sailed away, per
ectly good natured about it, but
7ery evidently taking me for
andlubber just down from the
ills. = New York sun.

CAVALRY IN FUTURE WARS.
The Art of the DashiDg Horseman Will
Not Be Eliminated.

| The Art of the DashiDg Horseman Will
Not BE Eliminated.
1t has been said that the days of
dashing cavalrymen will soon be
over and that the art of riding will
become as purely a pastime as the
art of sailing is destined to become
by reason of the introduction Of
steam. This opinion is combated
5ery vigorously by Major Kunz in
his "Kriegs Gesohichtliche Belt
rage" He believes that the uses of
cavalry have been changed, but that
its existence is not yet endangered.
On the other hand, he points out
that mere mounted men, as against
highly trained riders under the very
best leaders, are absolutely useless
today. Commenting upon the many
brilliant though unfortunate caval-
ry attacks executed by the French
in 1870, he says:
First. A frontal attack of cav
airy against victorious infantry can
only be justified when the aim is to
save time for the purpose of saving
the beaten army. The success of
such an attack is practically impos-
sible.
Second. -Momentary success of
an attack against the flank of VIC
torious infantry is possible, But
even such an attack must end in the
destruction of the force which I'M
dertakes it.
"Third. If the enemy's infantry
is beaten, cavalry may be used to
advantage. But it must be faultless
cavalry, led by faultless, courage
Gus riders, men who are also perfect
in their knowledge of the history
and psychology of war. In such
case no thought must be given to
few hundred horses laundering on
the field. The enemy's infantry
must not be given time to assemble.
The cavalry must endeavor to head
off the fugitives, for the most dis
heartened of them will lead the
stampede. In the rear of a flying
army are always the bravest. 1t
matters little whether the enemy
loses much in killed and wounded.
The question is not how to kill men,
but how to discourage them, to rob
them of their leaders, to destroy
their organization.
" An infantry which has suffered
many losses but has advanced vic
toriously and still has sufficient am
may laugh at a cavalry
An infantry that has been
beaten and whose officers are killed,
and which has lost courage in con-
sequence, is ready prey to enter
prising cavalry. It will be said that |
in such case the cavalry of the
beaten army must sacrifice itself |
For the infantry. Quite true. The
task of the attacking cavalry will !
then be to overthrow the horsemen
Of the vanquished army. If this
succeeds, the stampeded horsemen
will only assist in increasing the
confusion of the flying infantry.
AT any rate, few hundred men |
and horses dying of sheer exhaus-
ion in the pursuit of a beaten enc
ny will save the trouble Of another
oloodthirsty battle To train cavaI-
y fer such work is the purpose of
extensive maneuvers. = Literary

to investigate it. He smelled lightly
and suspiciously along it's edge until he
could go no further. Then he deliber-
ately stepped upon it, intending to
cross to the other side, and cor tinue
his investigations there. ...
But the moment the bear stepped or
the forward part of the toboggan,
down went that end and up came the
other end, and before Bruin could take
a realizing sense of what had happened,
he was lying upon his side on that long
wooden thing, and whizzing down the
bank like an arrow from a bow!
How funny he looked, sprawled out
there, with his two hind legs dragging
in the snow, and his astonished black
face just peering over the curled dasher!
I have laughed many time at the rec
election of that pictures; but none of
us laughed just then. 1t was too seri-
Gus matter when big, angry bear
was sailing down upon us, an6 we had
only two charges apiece in our old-fash-
Toned, muzzle-loading guns.
The toboggan slowed, shot past us
within few feet, whizzed across the
bed of the brook and dashed into the
opposite bank with a thud. Bruin
keeled off, head over heels, and landed
all in a heap in the powdery snow. AS
he lay there for moment, sprawlin g
and snorting, Charley cried. in clear,
firm voice: "Fire!"
Three tremendous reports rang out on
the winter air; for each of the old muz-
zle-loaders had "four-fnger charge"
in it. A perfect hailstorm of buck
shot at short range tore its way to the
exposed vitals of the floundering bear,
and, without ever regaining it's feet, the
bewildered and MORALLY wounded crea-
ture turned convulsively upon its side.
and was dead.
Then what shouts of mingled triumph
and laughter arose from the successful
hunters! We keeled over in the snow
and kicked our heels above our heads;
we pounded each other on the back;
we jumped into the air, waving our
arms like madmen. We laughed and
shouted until the tears ran down ou1
faces. and our sides and lungs ached sc
that articulate utterance became tor
true. Then we sat down, painting. or
the dead bear. and kept silence until we
got our wind again.
Two hours later, when we marched
up to the village store, dragging OIL
bear on the toboggan, the whole village
turned out to give us an ovation. Ant
when we told how Bruin had come
coasting down the hill, and ended W
with pitching head over heels into the
snow, the laugh that arose was heard
at the Brace farm, two miles away. L
was glorious triumph for ''tht
chums;" and as each of us went hi:

to be bowling their heads, and shouting;

But calm. through the sunlit spaces,
And calm through the starlit sky,
Forever over the city, ,s..

The city is full Of passion
And shame and anger and sin, u
OF hearts that are dark and evil,
OF souls that are black Within;
But white as the robes of angels,
AS pure through the wind-swept sky,
Forever, over the city,
The clouds of God go by. -
The city is full Of sorrow $50.
And tears are shed in vain,
By day and by night there rises
The voice of it's grief and pain.
But soft as benediction,
They bend from the vault on high,
And over the sorrowful city,
The clouds of God go by.
o eyes that are old with vigil!
o eyes that are dim with tears!
Look up from the path of sorrow.
That measure itself in years,
And read in the blue above you
The peace that is ever nigh,
While over the troubled city
The clouds Of God go by.
