Tuesday probably Shoaoers.

THE history of the past sustsins the
statement that 6rst-honor men at
West Point seldom achieve the great
est success on the field of battle.
Mr.. Pillsbury, of Massachusetts, aged
twenty-one years, is by far the fore
most man in the graduating class at
West Point for 1900. His career will
be watched with interest to note
whether or not he fulflls in the stage
of actual life the promise Of his col
lege days. Among military men the
rule of precedents is against him.
Few men who graduated with high
bonors have won lsurels in active
service. This is true of Napoleon, OF
Fitz Lee, of Grant, of jackson and a
host of others that might be mention
ed. Gen. r. E. Lee is one OF the
exeeptions-the only one, in fact, that
we recall. There appears to exist an
incompatibility between success IN
the world of books and success In the
world of action. Soldiers are born,
not made and the obscure graduate
often achieves the highest success IN
military life, and vice versa. n. B.
Forrest passed West Point by the skin
of his teeth, yet he proved to be one
of the ablest officers in the Confed'
crate army.
