Keeping the Feet Dry.

The dryness of the feet depends largely
upon the kind and quality OF the boot or
everyday use thar boots. especially for
those people who walk. For riding. or when
snow, boots are the best. A cheap pair Of
shoes is dear at any price. 1t pays in ev-

outer or first sole is worn through. It Is

Courage.

II is cot they that never knew
Weakness or fear who are the brave:
Those are the proud. ths knightly few
Whose Joy is still TO serve and save.
But they who. in the weary night,
Amid the darkness and the stress,
Have struggled with disease and blight,
With pitiful world weariness:
They who have yearned to stand among
The free and mighty OF the earth.
Whose sad. aspiring souls are wrung
With starless hope and hollow mirth-
Who die with every day. yet live
Through merciless. unbrightened years,
whose sweetest right is to forgive
And smile divinely through their tears;
They are the noble. they the strong,
They are the tried. the trusted ones.
And though their way Is hard and long
Straight to the plying God It runs.

Without your woes. No path is wholly

Look for the places that are smooth and

And speak of those who rest the weary car

or human discomfort and grief and pain
TAX faith. The world is better off without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
y YOU have faith in Cod or man, or self
say so; if not push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith shall
come;
No one will grieve because your lips are
dumb
Talk health, The dreary never-changing

You cannot charm, or interest or please

am wofully stupid. OF course, as
have said before, I'm only just learn
ing the war business, but, confiden-
TALLY, it looks to me as if l am going
to fall down on some of these war
problems.
Now, for the life o. me, there is one
thing l cannot figure out how many
dead and wounded heroes would 1t
have taken to make DR.. Wood and
Teddy Roosevelt major-general and
brigadier-general respectively, if half,
or nearly half, of their command was
required to make them brigadier-gen-
eral and colonel? And am wonder
ing, too, if Teddy had lost his life n
stead of his boot-heel, what congress
would have done with the cut-and-
dried bill that was in waiting to pro-
mote him as soon as he, or if perhaps
only his men, made a dash and nred
n bullet. You would not believe 1T
possible, but in my stupidity l had
actually been waiting for news OF
court-martial for Colonel Wood and
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt for sac
rificing their men to glorify them
selves and for the non-military rush
ing into ambush without having first
sent out skirmishers!
And 1 never could from the first I'M
derstand why poor General Smarter
should have been placed in command
of the attack on Santiago. Colonel
Shafter may have been a good soldier,
Int even promotion, Michigan. the
personal friendship the secretary OF
tn secretary of war and his counsel
lors in the background, cannot make
a general. And the good soldier, it
was plainly seen at Tampa, had been
trified with by luxuriant California
living. General Miles being sent to
the rescue can understand, because
General Miles has spen. his military
life in going to the rescue OF COM
manders in the foreground and back
ground who-to use a most vulgar ex-
pression-bite off more than they can
chew.
The greatest problem ALL and
one that really discourages me more
than all else about my stupidity, IS
the promotion of Adjutant-General
Corbin to major-general! The only
comfort, the only hope that l may
be able to learn war busi-
ness, is that congress itself seemed
wary, and slipped in this also cut-and-
dried promotion at the last hour OF
the last day; congress, 1 am sure
would not have held back the bill so
long. after it was prepared and passed
unon secretly. il it had not felt the
necessity of immediate action. Inc
problem that puzzles me into real de-
spair is the liberty given to an adJu-
tant. a non-commanding officer, in al
lowing him to issue orders over the
heads of his superiOrs. coupled with
the audacity and rapid-transit work
of senate and house in promoting
him, leap-frog style, over the heads
