"Onoa. when was a boy at SCHOOL,
wasn't more than 10 or l. years old at
the time-our teacher called up the
class in mental arithmetic and began
putting questions, beginning with the
pupil at the head of the row and going
down toward the foot, until some one
could give the correct answer. I stood
somewhere near the middle, and next
below me was boy who was three
years older and considerably ahead of
me in the various studies that we had.
":How much are 10 and and 81
the teacher asked.
"While one after another of the boys
and girls ahead of me guessed and
failed to get it right figured out what
thought the answer ought to be. The
question had almost got to me when
heard the big boy just below me whis-
pering, apparently to himself, but loud

to answer correctly, and then it was my
turn.

not for the soldier. Whatever the
Colonel's decision, the soldier should
have bowed to it respectfully.
All this his comrades will see clear
ly before they have been a year in SER
vice; before then, too, they will have
learned not to discuss the decisions of
their officers in print. Precisely the
same differences between the raw re-
cruit or militiaman and the same man
when he became a seasoned soldier
were seen during the civil war. In
how many cases did father, mother,
brother, sister, wife or child die while
the soldier was forced to stay with the
col0rs? Perhaps in hundreds of thou
sands: and the brave fellows learned
that there were other things to endure
besides the hardships of march and
the perils of battle. They also found
out that orders habitually come with
out "the reason why" and that a sol
dier does not defy his Colonel when
ever he does not get a reason that sat
isfies his own judgment or conforms to
his own desires.-N. Z. Sun.

Service and Sacrifice.

An incident of the departure of one
of the volunteer regiments from Hemp
stead carries a lesson beyond its in
trinsic Importance. Just before the
start for Chickamauga a soldier asked
for furlough in order to visit his
home, where his mother was said to
be fatally i'll. The Colonel said he
could not give the furlough at that
iuncture, whereupon the soldier is said
to have replied that he would go any
way. The officer then had him dis
charged, his uniform and other Gov
ernment property, of course, being
taken from MIN.
What makes this case noticeable is
that some OF the soldiers comrades, in
stead of thinking that he got off rather
easily, after his defiant retort to his
Colonel, consider that he was harshly
treated. The accounts represent them
as being ''indignant, not at all at his
conduct, but at the Colonel's refusal to
give him the furlough and then at his
being discharged. Yet what less could
possibly be done, for the sake of dis
cip!ine, after that insubordinate re
sponse? The discharge may have real
ly saved him from a subsequent court
martial as a keserter.
But the comment of some of his
comrades and of some newspapers sug-
gest how much the average recruit has
to learn of that soldiery spirit which
Admiral Dewey called for in his direc-
tions to ''keep cool and obey orders" !"
1t was all right for the Hampstead
soldier to ask for a furlough, and it
might have been right for the Colonel
to grant it; but whether his duty &C
tually was to grant or to withhold it
was for the Colonel to determine, and
