DRILL WITH THE eAYoNET.


Russian Soldiers Protecting Themselves
in Use of This Weapon.
The cars army devotes much of
It's time to drilling. Nicholas evident
ly sees danger ahead and in the alb
sence of a big wal is making veterans
OF his soldiers. For what with the
Chinese situation and the nihilist agi-
tation the prospects for peace are not
flattering to the ruler of the Russias.
At nearly every military post in the
empire troops may be daily seen in
active drill. About the drill field are
set up a lot of gibbet frames on trough
like bases. From the top cross
beams are swung dummies of canvas
and sawdust and sand and upon these
the soldiers charge. They are required
dummies with all the vigor they can
bring to bear. and it is conceded that
the practical training in the use of the
army rifle and its stabbing attachment
at close quarters is much superior to
that which is secured in sham battles,
where actual attacks with the bayo-
net are barred. The French army has
a system of drill which is on the same
plan as that in use by the Russians.
But the Frenchmen drill mostly on
horseback, or, rather. on dummy"
horseback. 1t is a sort of "'merry-go-
round" arrangement, with the real
soldiers on dummy horses going in oae
direction and dummy soldiers on
dummy horseback going in the OPP
posite direction. The real soldiers cut
and slash away at the dummy soldiers
with all their strength and ski /
and, incidentally, they yell with all
their lungs and try to imagine them
selves in real battle.-Chicago Chroni-

Jimmy" But now with his devoted
captain lying in his soldiers grave.
with his captains wife and daughter
left to his care. the old trouble faded
out and he thought only of the friend
that he had lost and the charge that
was his, for the captain had placed
his affairs in M%arshall's hands in the
event of his meeting a soldiers rate
as Marshall had placed his in the cap
tain's.
And so it came that after the SOL
diers and the family had paid their
last tribute to the dead, the last volley
had been fired over the grave, taps
had foated out upon the warm still air
and died away hat the evening had
closed down upon the quaint old city.
Jimmy sat in the flag draped little
parlor of the Lyons quarters, listening
to the patter and drip of the
everlasting rain. The dim lamps
cast an uncertain light over
the room, the air was still
and heavy and his thoughts were sad,
but as he looked into the sad, tired
face OF the young girl sitting there so
neal to him and saw the luster of the
dark hair, the fairness OF h sweet
young face and the sadness yet the
brightness in the large dark eyes, he
felt all the past go from him and his
strong manly love go out to her, whom
he had watched grow from the short
frocked school girl to the comely
young woman; felt it was her he had
loved from the first. After drawing
his chair over to hers he took her
hand in both of his and in the silence
of the little room, in the silence of his
love, looked into her eyes, eyes in
which the joy of womanly love burned
through the sadness of flial grief, and
the one word Elizabeth" told his old
sweet tale.

London is to have a newspaper mod

that they have resolved on starting a
hockey paper Of their own, written and
and edited by women, for women, and
devoted to their interests alone. 1t is
pointed out by the ladies at the head
of the movement that the men, who
have only SO clubs among them, get al

Then there was a rush and the

The world is rs we find il,
Whether for good or i'll.
The path is oft-times stony,
Leads oft-times up the hill:
But when we reach the summit,
And find there peace and rest,
We then, forget the journey
And feel God knoweth best.
The world is as we take it,
Whether for i'll or good;
The path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But If we look beyond II.
Where shines the light of day,
Well bravely journey onward;
God knoweth best-we say.
Tire world is as we make it:
We reap both good and i'll;
The seed we sow in passing,
up-springs from wood and hill;
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds,
Unless we tread with gladness
Gods path-He knows our needs.

There is no longer any question as 10 the

owning the Indiana, Decatur e. Western
road, extending the line from Decatur to
Springfield, H., where excellent colnec-
tons will be secured. Articles of incor-
poration were filed on Wednesday at
Springfield under the name of the Decatur
d Springfield road. w. c. Outten, the at
torney who filed the papers, states that
the extension Will start from a point three
miles east OF Decatur and extend in nearly
an air line fOrty-two miles to Springfield.
The only delay in the work will be from
the difficulty I'm securing new rails, so
pressed are the rail mills with orders. The
right of way has practically been secured
and contracts for rails, steel bridges, etc,
already placed. The charter is for fifty
years. The shares of stock number 1000
and their face value is 500 each. While
the present officers of the Decatur &
Springfield road are residents of Decatur
and TO them the charter is granted, it is
well known that the Cincinnati, Hamilton
q Dayton is behind the enterprise and that
as soon as completed the new line will be
absorbed by that company.

A Good Word for the Monon.

The Monon lines earned in the first week
OF May $l,11, a small decrease as COM
pared. with the corresponding week of 1900,
but from now on the management looks
for increases each week over correspond
ing weeks last year. as freight business
has increased of late in both local and
through traffic. The Wall-street Journal
says:
up TO 1895 the official name of the Monon
road was Louisville, New Albany * Chi
cago. At that time the property was re-
organized under the name of Chicago, In
dianapolis * Louisville. which from the
geographical location of the company's
lines would appear a much more appro-
pirate name. In the three years since its
reorganization the road has made an ex-
cellent record. the earnings of each year
having shown good gains over those OF the
year before. The annual report for the year
ended June 30 last showed that in that year
the company earned the full 4 per cent. on
the 5000. 900 preferred stock and 46 per
cent. on the common. During this year
the company spent $500 per mile for mainte-
nance of way and 1862 per mile for mainte-
nance of equipment, a total charge Tor
maintenance of 1852 per mile. For a road
of the Monon's characteristics $3.50 per
mile for maintenance of way and 500 per
mile for maintenance of equipment Is usual
ly considered sufficient to properly main
tain the standard of the property. HAD
maintenance expenditures last year been
on this basis the result would have been
a saving to the company OF S2U per miie,
or, i'm round numbers, $l0S.OO0. On the oasis
of the actual figures for last year the loss
i'm net this year indicates that II no more
losses in net are reported in the last three
months at the end of the year around "a
per cent. on the common Will nave Deeh
earned. 1t is possible that this VIII be IN
creased somewhat before the end Of the
