A pleasing joke was played on Mai

will drink nothing but milk, and one of
his lady friends of ST. Paul, being
aware of the fact, and thinking that
perhaps he was in need Of something
to drink 1t from, sent him nursing
bottle. 1t cannot be learned as to
whether the major is using it or not.

positions when they enlisted. Corporal
Harris left law practice worth $4,000
year to serve his country. Others
were bookkeepers and clerks in banks
and business concerns, where they re-
ceived good salaries. None Of the men
enlisted for the sake of the small pit
lance which the government allows
them for the privilege of going to war.
The regiment thought when it left
this city it would be sent to the front
with little delay, and it has patiently
waited at Camp Thomas until all
chance Of seeing active service is past.
Inferior regiments were selected to do
the fighting, and now 1t is proposed to
let the Fourteenth garrison some city,
while the men who get all the glory OF
fighting are recuperating or basking in
the sun Of popular favor.
It is natural that the Fourteenth
should resent such treatment, and that
they should protest against misrep-
resentation Of their wishes by their
officers.

METHODS OF DRILLING.
Maj. Same. Says the War, Will Nec-

Maj ]. M. ]. Sanno, inspector gem
eral Of the department of the Dakotas
and the Lakes, has given the SUBJ
1ect of modern implements of war
careful consideration. THE war has
shown one thing" said Maj. Sanno the
other day, land that is that future
warfare will be dependent upon the
ear, and not upon the eye. The use
OF smokeless powder has placed a new
element in the art of war; Heretofore
the smoke Of the enemy's guns has
been depended upon to give the loca-
ton of their forces, but now that is
LETT entirely to the ear This has been
most plainly demonstrated But the
training OF the ear can be ACCOMPLISH
ed to a very delicate point Just as
a musicians ear is trained TO dis.
tinguish the slightest changes in tone
so will that of the future soldier he
trained to accurately detect, lust how
far and from what direction the enemy
Is firing. 1t will necessitate the intro
duction of new methods of drilling and
training, but it is capable of very high
development.
maintained that with the long-range
guns battles could be successfully
fought at long range-at 1000 or 1900
yards-but think that the war has
developed that this is not true. AS
In the past. it has been shown that
positions from 200 to 300 yards from
the enemy's lines must be held in or
der to get satisfactory effects. Unless
The forces of the enemy are massed
the effect Of long-range firing is not
of any value, and knowing this, no
commander would place his men in
that position. Volley firing from g, dis
lance of 1900 yards can be made to
tell, If, as I sa1d the forces are massed
The Krag-Jorgensen rifle has prov
ed to be ali that was expected Of it,
At the same time the Mauser rifle has
opened the eyes Of military men, There
is no doubt that it Is the most humane
gun for warfare. An officer that I
met IN Columbus the other day was
shot through three times, and yet he
will ultimately fully recover. This
could not be with the Krag- Jorgensen
bullets. Perhaps for the American
army the latter gun is the best, for
the reason that 1t is simpler, and as In
times of war we are dependent on vol
unteers, our soldiers do hot have the
time to learn the use OF complicated
mechanism. But this argument would
show that the Springfield rifle, with
smokeless powder, would be the best.
The. Springfield rife Is an excellent
gun, and, unless long range fighting is
to be undertaken, it is probably best
for the volunteers OF course, for the
regulars, who make fighting bust

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The navy
department authorities discount the
significance given the report of the en-
forcement of the neutrality laws at
Hong Kong by ordering the Zafro
from the harbor and deferring per-
mission for the American fleet to dock
there. Admiral Dewey recently re-
ceived orders from Acting Secretary
Allen to report on his plans for dock
ing and repairing the ships of his fleet.
The cablegram sent him on this subject
gave only instructions to make an in
quiry as to the most available means
for attending to the repairs, which are
much needed but no report yet is pos
sible. Admiral Dewey no doubt i'm
mediately set about negotiating for O.
suitable place where the work could
be accomplished and the request to the
sion probably followed immediately
and doubtlessly was carried ON the
last trip Of the Zafiro. The action of
the British harbor police at Hong
Kong in ordering the Zaflro 10 leave
British waters within twenty-four
hours is an action strictly in accord
ance with the spirit and terms Of the
neutrality law. This is the view taken
at the navy department, whose Off

The mems main resort was to get in
a shady place, where the Slight breeze
from the lake could strike them.
The camp is entirely settled now, and
what time there is that the men do not
have to drill, they spend in loungiAg
around.
The subject Of the time of dress pa
rade has been settled. 1t will be held
at the usual time, but will be DIS

not have time to hitch up the horses
and return them to the stables.
Tomorrow the weekly inspection of
the mems quarters will be held by the
officers.
This morning a gun drill was partici-
pated in and the horses were given
their first test as to their steadiness
around the guns, while the men Were
working them. No trouble was had
with t e lorses a none of tt EN- b cam :

The officers elected by Battery A
have all passed their examinations and
will receive their commissions as soon
as the governor can sign them and
send them back.
The regular field day will be enjoyed
by the men the first Of the week, at
which time the two batteries will play
a game of ball and various sports will
be participated in.
One of the Battery B horses was
kicked this morning, but not injured
so that he cannot do his work.
The batteries were called out for

KELLY'S DREAM
A soldier bold on his pillow rolled
Like roar of the foam1ng sea,
And hand close pressed on his heaving
breast
Checked an emotion, impulsive and free.
The night was hot, but he knew it not,
Nor the fash of the lightnings glare;
Nor the sigh Of the wind, for his struggling
mind
Was riding a fearful nightmare.
On distant shore, where the breakers roar,
In bivouac damp and dreary,
He lay in his dream by a bracktsh stream,
And he shook with a dreadful fear,
AS the wind and rain beat sad refrain,
Till his limbs were stiff ard sore.
And nothing loath, he swore an oath
That was lost in dreadful snore.
Then out OF the night, by the flashes bright,
A Spaniard stealthily stole,
With a murderous blow, the dastardly foe
Struck the sleeper deep to the SOUL
At the deadly stroke the sleeper woke
With cry Of fierce despair,
And clasped his side, but his dream had
lied,
A mosquito Toasted there.
