of promotion, and are privileged to associate with the orderly.
 The title coporal is associated in the popular mind with hum bleness. and yet it furnished the pet name of a great army for great soldier, "The Little Corporal" The corporal has his duties and honors, and then he may be sergeant and even first ser geant. He stands on the steps that lead to greatness; he is supported in toll and danger by the thought that he may some day line up with his official associates. when the evening sun is low, and report how many men of the company are present and ac- counted for.
 The reading world. which keeps up with the war. does not see the power behind the throne. the motor that makes Ethe wheels.fgo round. It IS usually supposed that it IS Major Gen. eral This or Brigadier General That, but it is the non- n-commissioned officers who, when the dread moment arrives, say: Arise let us go" and go them selves In the pictures it is somebody on horseback that leads. In reality it is the orderly sergeant on foot, who goes along and steadies the line. The daily life of the companies, the duty that comes every day, the care that every man is present or accounted for, the thousand things that must be done to the end that an army be held to- gether at all, these things fall to the non-commissioned officers.
 Complaint is made that during the progress of hostilities and when the cruel war is over the non. commis- stoned officer does not catch the rays of glory that fail on his superiors, but it is safe to say that 1t is all one to him. The consciousness of duty we'll done is the sergeant's and corporals exceeding great reward, and when all | is done and wars are oyer and dull and drowsy peace IS in the air, the chev- rons on his faded uniform coat shlne white as snow.

Duty of Women Today.

To-day even the home loving woman is required to go outside of the narrow sphere of her household duties in or der to play her role with intelligence. It is no longer denied by any one that child cannot be properly reared without the attendant benefits of good schools, clean streets, parks, play. grounds and public libraries, and she has found that these conditions can be brought about more quickly with her helpful cooperation than without it.

The Unseen Army Flowers.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Some flowers, as the poet puts it. are "born to blush unseen" and in the army, which is always winning fame as a collective organization, there is great fraction that fguratively speak ing, meet the obscure blossom. Prob ably no other passage is so often quoted from Napier's Peninsular war as that in which he desribes the Brit ish common soldier as conquering in the cool shade of aristocracy. The cool shade of historical obscurity GOV CTS the largest part of every army, The light falls on the highest points first and last, and in the shadow march and fight the great array of common soldiers and the non-commissioned of ficers, the sergeants and the corporals,
 The uon-commissioned officers may or may not be mentioned by name in the dispatches, but they make up the joints in the spinal column of the army. They, at least, constitute q body in which the merit system pre- vails Listen to the voice of the adju- tant on dress parade: Corporal Smith, for meritorlous conduct, is hereby pro- noted to be sergeant" In the body of officers distinguished by chevrons merit wins, whatever happens among the straps It is not understood among civilians as 1t should be, that sergeants and corporals are officers. They do not bear commissions and do not cer- tifv on their honor as officers and gentlemen, but they assume commands and conduct independant operations with details. A sergeant before now has commanded in scouts, skirmishes and combat. and many time, all the commissioned officers being down, has an orderly sergeant marched the bleed ing remnant of his company off the stricken field.
 The native nobeman among non- commissioned officers is the orderly sergeant. lie is the executive officer and the running gears of the company He needs to be as smart man as the regimental adjutant, and should, by right, receive same pay He is the most necessarily active, the most called for. the most responsible man anywhere about. and he will no more receive back talk than major gen. eral. He is the first up in the morn- ing and he calls the ioll-calls it, mind you-and does not read it from book for he knows every man in the com panv.

RAISING HAREs FOR MARKET.
The Industry Started in Kansas City,
 Kas., Promises to Be Profitable.

From the Kansas City Star.
 What appears to be a very important industry for Kansas City, and one in which many people will soon be en- gagged, is the raising of the Belgian hare. a species of the hare family, larger than the Kansas jack rabbit, whose meat is even finer than chicken or turkey. George Lamphier, an em- ploye of the Memphis railway compa- ny, and w. w. Simons. pressman, are the originators of the industry in Kansas City. They have built a "rao- bit barn on a lot adjoining Mir. Lam phier's home at 633 Georgie avenue, Kansas City. Kan, and from thirteen fine pedigreed hares which they pur- chased in the East from imported breeding stock last fall, they now have more than 100 hares to start with. Several other Kansas City peo- pie are now purchasing breeding stock, and it is predicted that in year or two more rabbits will be raised in and about Kansas City than are running wild in some of the big prairie coun- ties in Kansas.
 But there is good demand for the meat of the Belgian hare, which sells as high as twenty-6 cents pound in eastern cities, and some of the packers here say that if the industry is we'll developed that they can dis pose of all the meat that can be pro- duced, at facny prices.
 "we expect to kill the hares when they are four months old" Mir. Simons said. ''They will weigh from four to five pounds at that that age, although they frequently grow much larger, some even weighing ten to twelve nonnds-"
 MT. Simons says that the fur of the Belgian rabbit is valuable and each pelt will bring twenty-five cents. Some of the hares in his collection are beautiful creatures, lawn and gray colored. A collection will be brought to this city next week and exhibited in Main street window

Base bali Game.

1t is not to tie discredit of the Gam
valley base ball club that they met with
q bad defeat at the hands Of the Plank
linton boys here Saturday. The amateur
nine that could have overcome the
steady playing Of the Aurora county
club would have had to have been far
above the average. They played one of
the best games we have ever seen put
up, from start to finish, and with only
one or two bad errors. The G%annvalley
boys played well, too, though the almost
perfect fielding Of the Plantations and
the steady work Of their battery prevent
ed the necessary scores. The principal
fault Of the Buffalo county nine is their
wild, rattle-hesded throwing. What
they need is a captain with a good,
strong stuffed club. The game was
played without a jar or discordant note
and was greatly enjoyed by tile large
crowd present, fully one half of whom
were OF the fair sex. 1t was n perfect
day for outdoor sports, which added
greatly to the pleasure Of all. The score
was IA 10 2. The White Lake cornet
band was present all day and until mid
night. Their music was excellent and
their natty white uniforms very at
tractiye. A dance was given at the
opera-house in the evening.

Guided land, buildings and stock. The
purchasers are Dow Bros. of Madison,

The Importance of thorough cleanli.
ness of milk pals, cans, ETC.. is illustrat-

exposure to steam for half an hour, were
filled from the same lot of milk and both
were cooled down to 30 degrees. They
were then allowed to stand in the same
room under the same conditions until
sour. The milk in the first pail soured
in twenty-three hours and in the other
in twenty-eight and @ half hours.
