several hundred companies from all over
the country will spend ten days in regular
army style. During tho camp there will
be daily talks by prominent ministers and

be held. The qualifications are high and
the requirements very strict.
The Company Drill.
Company drill occurs each Tuesday night
lasting from 7:30 20 o'clock. In pleasant
weather it takes place on the street or in
the White lot, and occasionally there are
road marches into the country. In such
cases advance and rear guards, f1anking
parties and scouts are brought into use
The adaptability OF the ground for field
movements is discussed during a rest. F're-
quently the company is deployed, and an
attack is made on an imaginary foe.

Where They Came From.

Virginia has furnished more presidents
to the country than any other state. All
five of them were Virginia born, too. Be-
sides, President William Henry Harrison,
who is credited to Ohio, and President
Zachary Taylor, who is credited to Louis
lana, began lie as Virginia babies.
Twice the successful presidential nomi-
nation has gone to New York and twice
vice presidents from that state have un-
expectedly found themselves in the Whine
House. But Gen. Arthur was a YER
monter by birth and Mr.. Cleveland was
Jerseyman.
The country has taken two of it's presi-
dents from Tennessee, and Tennessee
vice-president has been promoted Thy the
bullet of an assassin) to the chief mag
istracy. Queerly enough, all three of
these Tennesseeans Andrew Jackson,
James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson
were born in North Carolina.
Massachusetts, early in the proceed
ings, furnished two presidents, father and
son. She has furnished none since. Hi
nois is represented in the list by Abra-
ham Lincoln, who was born in Kentucky,
and Ulysses S. Grant who was born in
Ohio, but with generations of sturdy
Connecticut ancestors behind him. New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Indiana
have contributed president apiece, but
the last named state las we have SEEM
borrowed it's timber" from Ohio. The
other states-Connt cticut included-are
still waiting in hope. Their turn may
come in the Goth century, or some other
century.
Washington, the Adamses, Madison,

Our Interests in the Trans Siberian.

Abstractly speaking, the Siberian
railroad is being built in the United
States. The contracts for the equipment
of the Siberian road are being given to
American firms. Carnegie and the Mary
land steel company are to supply the
rails; Baldwin locomotive works are
working night and day on the locomo-
tives; the Pressed Steel car company is
to supply freight.car bodies; Westing-
house and another New York firm will
make the air-brakes and the electrical
apparatus; the bridges are being made
at Sparrow Point, Nd. Stationary en-
gines and other features OF the machine
shop equipment have been made in Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Schenectady and other
American cities. Altogether this means
the employment of an army of American
workmen and the influx from Europe of
many thousands of dollars. Further
more, the adoption of these American
made goods means that many of the sup
plies OF the future necessarily will be
bought from this country. In practice
1t is found much cheaper for foreign
country to replace a broken driving
wheel, for instance, from the original
maker, who keeps it in stock, than it is
to make the wheel abroad. This applies
to most OF the equipment. So the effect
OF these Siberian contracts is highly cum
ulative.- Theodore Waters in Leslie's

The Rag.Time Epidemic

The insane craze for "rag-time" music
and coon songs" that has lately swept
over the country is to the cause of good
music among the masses what the hot
blasts of the simeon are to healthful
vegetation.
The counters of the music stores are
loaded with this virulent poison, which,
in the form of a malarious epidemic, is
findingits way into the homes and brains
OF the youth to such an extent as to
arouse ones suspicion of their sanity.
The pools of sush through which the
composers of some of these songs have
dragged their questionable rhymes are
rank enough to stife the nostrils of de-
cency, and yet young men and ladies of
the best standing daily roll around their
tongues in gluttonous delight the most
nauseating twaddle about shot town"
"warm babies" and "bleareyed coons"
armed with "blood-etting razors." some
of them set to double jointed, Jumping
jack airs that fairly twist the ears of an
educated musician from their anchor
age.
Some of these songs are so maudlin in
sentiment and rhythm as to make the
themes they express fairly stagger in the
drunkenness of their exaggeration.
They are plague to both music and
musicians and stencil to refinement.
Thank the Lord, they have passed the
meridian of their popularity, and are
now on the wane, so that the cause of
music may again be permitted to enjoy
season when it can inhale few draughts
OF refreshing ozone from the more refined
science of sober, rejecting. and regret
ting humanity.-[Choir Music Journal.

Baby Ran the Locomotive.

II can run an engine like papa" said
little three.year-old Fred Evans as he
was lifted down from the locomotive of
the st. Johns motor line yesterday at
Albina. He had mounted the engine at
st. Johns, pulled open the throttle and
remained OH the seat alone on mad ride
of seven miles. The young engineer is
the son of W. B. Evans of st. Johns, an
engineer on the motor line. He had
often been on the engine, and his father
had explained to him how the lever is
pulled and the wheels started moving.
The engine lies over an hour at St.
Johns, just by the water tank, and dur
ing this time yesterday, while Mr.. Evans
was at home at lunch, little Fred walked
down to the engine, mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide. The ma
chine was full of coal and water, and was
ready for the road. Several people saw
the boy start, but no one was near
enough to catch the engine. The news
was at once told to Mr.. Evans, and he
reached the track just in time to see the
locomotive, with his boy on board, dis.
appear around a curve. The father was
wild with grief and fear, and the boys
mother was almost Frustrated.
The news spread like wild fire, and the
whole town turned out. Excitement
was intense, women and children cried
and men offered suggestions. Master
Mechanic Michael F. Brady was at that
end of the line and at once began to tele-
phone to stations along the line. Ports
mouth ana Peninsular were notified, and
men at these points tried to board the
engine as it dashed by, but its speed was
too great. Mr. Brady also notified the
office at Albina, and a party of men ran
out the line northward TO meet the wild
engine. In coming up the long grade
toward Albina, the steam had died down
little, but the register still showed
eighty pounds. John Wood, a motor
man on the City and Suburban Railway,
was the first man to meet the engine.
He caught the hand rail and swung up,
but in doing so he was dragged go or rs
feet. He at once turned off the steam,
and the engine slowed down and stopped.
1t was then young Fred made the re-
mark concerning his ability as an engine
driver.
The boy was not scared at all, but
seemed rather proud of his feat. When
the engine first dashed out of St. Johns
he was frightened, and as he came
through Portsmouth like shot out of a
gun he was yelling Justify for mama"
After coming several miles, however, he
again became brave and held his position
on the seat with composure, with his
hand on the lever, like veteran.
The engine was stopped in front of the
home of DR.. Davis, on Commercial street,
and was quickly run back to St. Johns by
Mr.. Woods with the boy Fred still on
board. Mr. Woods said his success in
boarding the engine was a surprise to
him, as well as everyone else, as it's speed
was still considerable. The engine had
made the run from st. Johns to Albina in
less than half an hour.
In the meantime the news of the rescue
had been sent by telephone to the fright
ened parents, and for the remainder of
the day there was great joy in all St.
Johns. The Morning Oregonian.
