TITLES IN THE ARMY.
OMccrs Arc Called "Ir." Until The ,
Reach the Rnnk or Captain.


People who are not ve-scd in matters
| army officers are addressed as mister"
and not by their titles. TO the men
who enter the service from West Point
the custom is well understood, because
they know that, no matter how much
authority they may have or how gay
their uniform may be, they are sim
ply "misters" until they wear two bars
on their shoulder straps. \ recent oc-
currence in the Army building illus
trated the matter. \ man who had
been a field officer in the volunteer
service in the war with Spain had been
appointed to Il licItcEancy in the new
volunteer army and called ut one of
the offices at the headquarters en- .
matter of business. There the officer
in charge presented him to Il United
States array officer.
"Major Flank. allow me to present
Mr.. Smith-Mr. Smith. Major Blan,<."
The volunteer officer limited in
modest way, when tic MA ior had With
drawn, that 1t might have been well
to let the fact Ec Known that lie also
was an army officer. "Oh that's all
right" said the officer who had acted
as, host, Everybody is mister until he
is hoptain."
Is SIen in service the first and second
'lfeutenants are addressed mister" by
officers Of higher rank. The custom Is
so general that it Is not unusual for
lieutenants in the regular service to
have their visiting cards engraved with
the "Mr." pretiXed, thus:
'Mr. John Brown Smith, United
States Army"
The officer in the regular service also
shows preference for civilians dress.
which the volunteer officer does not
always share. When not on duty. at
home on leave or on his way to post
the regular officer usually wears no
part Of his uniform, and prefers to ap-
pear as an ordinary citizcn.-New York

Two Services n Year.

A church in which only two services
are held during the course of any one
year is a curiosity, yet such one can
be found in the middle Of a large field
near the village Of Towton, England.
1t was originally erected rs memorial
to Lord de Clifford. who fell in the
battle Of TowtOn in 1lG1. Services
were Instituted for the purpose of
praying for the repose of his soul and
those Of his followers who fell in that
historic battle. They might have been
discontinued long ago did not the vicar
Of Rythcr, In whose parish the church
Is situated, receive the tithes from no
less than 1000 acres Of land that are
dedicated to the little sanctuary.

o. few evenings ago were treated to a
spectacle of retributive justice that
tickled them famously. The car was
crowded, and, as the dust was flying
pretty thickly, all the passengers save
one had their windows down. This un-

kindly, but firm willed. He does not
balk at any uncouthness in manner
or speech.
He is not offended, sven by the
freshness of the lad who bluntlyI de-
clares, "Say, captain, want to enlist, .
or even the unconscious rudeness of
the tough who inquiries, "Be you the
bloke who wants soldiers?"'
He recognizes that they are not yet
soldiers, but if they have soldierly
timber in them they may yet be pol
lished to the point of proper soldierly
department. One thing he is on the
alert for at the start. This is untruth-
fulness. Lies about the age are most
usual. The age limit is from eighteen
to thirty-fve.- But boys under eight

When the porter returiied she took

I said.

We passed through the doorway and
into small, dark room, poorly fur

Uttered with papers. There was no
