 A corps, three divisions.
 A division, three brigades.
 A brigade, three regiments.

 A battalion, three companies.
 A company, one hundred men.
 The above figures represent aver ages and are subject to change.
 Major generals will command corps and divisions.
 Brigadier generals, brigades.
 Colonels, regiments.
 Majors, battallions.
 Captains, companies.
 A lieutenant colonel is vice colo nel-that is, he takes the place of his superior when absent. The adjutant and quartermaster rank as lieutenants, and are appointed by the colonel. The surgeon ranks as major and the assist ant surgeon as captain. Chaplains rank as captain.
 The corner window of the O'Neill building on Adams and First avenue, has a large picture of Buckley O'Neill handsomely framed and appropriately draped in mourning and surrounded with wreath of evergreen. It is a tender reminder of the loss of one of the nations heroes and prompts many a saddening thought of the awfulness of war.-PhRnix Herald.

THIS IS TRUE.

Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, Re-
publican that he is, has nothing OF
the ''Imperialist'' about his make
up. He is opposed to territorial ag-
gression as a result of the war or by
annexation and sees dangers ahead
in pursuing such policy. In a
speech made at Lexington, KY, the
other day, he said this:
A republic founded on the bed
rock of liberty, with the declara ton
that all men are born free and equal
and that governments derive their
just powers from the consent OF the
governed, cannot engage in the con-
quest of other lands. The acquisition
Of foreign territory means the forma-
ton of standing armies in every
country so acquired and building
of navy that may hold it in sub
lection. 1t means heavier taxation,
strong centralized Government and
the opportunity, yes the probability
of measuring arms with the combined
nations of the world. 1t means
troublesome entanglements and COM
plications. In short, it means the
turning of peace-loving people that
should be satisfied with its immense
power and possessions into an ag-
gressive and war-waging people. All
this talk about manifest destiny,
while it may be pleasing to the ear
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the demon
of avarice, is the same that inspired
the rulers of the Roman Empire and
that has marked the history of Spain.

THE DEADLY ROCKING CHAIR.

Who would have supposed death
turks in the comfortable embrace Of
the easy rocking chair9 The female
portion at least among our readers
will be slow to believe that they are
killing themselves by degrees while
resting (D in the rocking chair. And
yet that is just what they are doing
if we are to believe the statements
of several English authorities. Phvsi-
clans over there have been emphatic
in their condemnation of what they
term the 'American rocking chair
habit They affirm that this habit
is the cause of almost all of the
nervous diseases of American
women. Instead of resting, the con-
slant effort of rocking uses as much
force of the lower muscles of the
back and of the legs as would suffice
to run sewing machine for the
same length of time. Rockers are
rare in England and to this reason,
it is claimed, is due the health of
middle class English women-so
superior to that our own. There
may be something in this and the
question is worthy of considerate
thought.

A BEAUTIFUL POEM

On the fourth page Of the GOLD

and stirring poem The Flag Of the

ordinary merit, both for its strength
of expression and patriotic sentl-

The lines were published anonymous

Gently copied from an old scrap-book
by Mr. Hugh V. Washington, Of
Macon, Ga, who sent them to the

ment that ''in these epoch-marking
times. when our flag is unfold

on opposite sides of the globe, they
are fit to be republished." We do

been particularly interested during

right. 1t is proper and necessary

direction.

ity to obtain further education. and
when they have read their ESSAY or

their bouquets. presents. diploma.
and greetings of relatives and friends.
they are face to face with the stern
and ineNorable realities of life.
What will they make of it?
