An amusing incident occurred at a social
gathering in private residence in Niles
recently says the Detroit News, which
afforded an excellent illustration of the
popularity of a handsome, black-eyed
young man, who is employed in local
business house. and the local rivalry exist
ing between two young ladies to gain IA
vor in the eyes Of the young man IN ques-
ton.
Everyone was having a glorious time
when dispute arose between two pretty
misses over a kiss which had been given
to one of the young ladies by the black
eyed young man. How the kiss came to
be administered is not stated, so it is not
known whether it was stolen. At any
rate the rival miss became enrsged in an
instant and demanded retribution from the
favored young lady.
What could the poor boy do? Well ne
did about the same as any ordinary young
man would do under the circumstances.
or course, the entire party had become
interested and was watching the outcome
of the dispute. The young man had one
thought running through his brain, and
that was how he was to console the in
jured feelings of the young lady. Acting
OH sudden impulse. the young man
walked forward and placed sweet i'm
print on the lips of the Sighted miss
much to the surprise of the guests. 1T is
said to have had the desired effect The
party resumed its usual festivities Sew
eral of the ladies', ii is asserted, went into
a discussion as TO whether or not kissing
is sinful, while others were making goo
goo eyes at the young man, and evidently
thinking how grand it was to be popular.

THE BRITISH ARMY SYSTEM.

1t is evident from the controversy which
took place in the House of Lords the
other day between Lord Woseley and Lord
Lansdowne that among the thinking peo-
pie of England there is great dssatisfac-
ton with the British army system. Lord
Wolseley, who was commanding general
of the army when the Boer war began,
took occasion to complain that the com
handing general, although responsible for
whatever was done. had comparatively
little authority. The authority was
in the war office, and was exercised
by four separate bureaus. He intimated
that the mistakes which had been made
in South Africa We're due to the fact that
the commanding general had so little real
authority. Lord Lansdowne, who was
the head of the war office, replied to Lord
wolseley and said that the latter seemed
to have as much to do as he could at
tend to without additional authority, be-
cause he had informed the war office that
one army corps was sufficient to quell any
trouble that might occur in South Africa.
1t is evident from the foregoing con-
troversy that before hostilities actually
began in South Africa the commanding
general of the British army knew moth
ing of the ability of the Beers to defend
their country. In fact, he was practically
ignorant of the military situation there.
and yet he was the adviser of his country
in a matter in which thousands of lives
and hundreds of millions of dollars were
involved. And, as it turned out, his ad-
vice led to mistakes which caused the loss
of many lives and the expenditure of
vast amount of money.
There are no doubt grave defects in the
military system OF Great Britain and also
in that of this country. A cabinet. be-
ing ever on the lookout for the drift OF
public sentiment, when undertakes to
manage a war is certain to make costly
blunders. There were grave blunders
made in the Spanish-American War. The
politicians had too much influence and
prominence in It. 1t would be difficult,
if not impossible, 10 devise system that
would be free from faults, but it does
seem as if both the British and the Amer
lean systems could be so changed as to
free them from some OF the most serious
faults.

But one of those daring souls arose in

trial. on the ground that the presiding
