cannot advise you as TO the exact
character and bearing OF the combine.
But In my opinion, the combine is
purely a matter of money making.
There is no question of patriotism in
trade. 1t does not care a fig for a
flag. 1t is dividends that count. OF
course every citizen worth a cent
wishes his own country to be first in
everything and peaceful, industrial
victory is the only genuine one. Vic
tory through war generally costs more
than it is worth. II Great Britain
continues her costly wars for shadowy
ascendency in distant parts, and the
United States develops her industrial

4 N DRILL"
Said to Be Cause of Desertions from
Cavalry Regiments.


a cavalryman who had enlisted in
the Eleventh at Fort Myer was talk
ing to a Post reporter the other day,
when the subject OF d~esertion came
up, and the conversation drifted to
the why and wherefore Of the frequen-
ey of such things over at the fort.
"The reason ne said, why so many
deserted from the Eleventh is the fact
that they dread and detest the monkey
drill. The monkey drill is the term
we use to designate that portion of
the exercises in which we %endeavor
to perfect ourselves in the art of rid
ing bareback, standing in an upright
position on the back Of a galloping
horse, swinging into the saddle as thu
animal dashes at breakneck speed and
in performing other daring and diff
fcult feats of horsemanship.
"This is just about the hardest
work that one ever attempted, and
when it is over the men are complete
" exhausted. Only the strongest and
hardest men are able to stand it and
it is only about one in every 20 that
really enjoys the work. Most young
fellows imagine that they would like
to belong to the cavalry and become
daring equestrians, as a result ofhav-
ing witnessed some of our riding,
either in Buffalo Bill's show or at
Madison Square Garden. They en-
list, never dreaming that the daily
practice is as hard as it is, and then
their troubles begin.
"'The result is that in a short while
they are completely worn out and ut
terly Disguised. Then they desert.
0vertwo-thirds Of the desertions from
the Eleventh were due to the monkey
drill. This is not, Of course, the fault
of the officers. The regulations are
very strict, and only the healthiest
and hardest men are enlisted, and
what is more, they are given to I'M
derstand before they enter the ranks
what they have to expect, so that it
is their own fault if they don't like

"sURE THINGS"
Why the Sporting Mans Suggestions
Were Not Acted Upon.

81 have three good things in the
lrst race" remarked a sporting man
who met a party of friends this morn
ing.
"Don'ttell me about good things"
one of the party told him. "a man
Of your luck should not be getting
his friends in trouble"
whats the matter with him?"in-
quirmed another friend.
Last year he went to the races with
a sure thing and it was almost neces-
sary for him to walk home. He not
only lost his money, but he was a Jo-
nah in every respect. The car on
which he started home broke down
and then he got in an electric vehicle
with a friend. When the electric We
hicle became disabled he got in a
wagon and the horse ran away. The
wagon was demolished and he finally
got home on a street car"
His "sure things" observes the
Washington Star, were not wanted.

Some Made in Such Form That Four

"If anybody had told me-" said a
man whose acquaintance with bottles
is limited, Chat four bottles could be
placed in a cylindrical holder in such
a manner as to occupy completely all
the space | should have thought he
was joshing me, sure; because bottles
are commonly either angular or
round.
"The bottles were three-sided.
They had two sides fiat, while the
third side was rounded, in the form of
a quarter Of a circle. Each bottle
would have covered, in fact, just one-
quarter Of a disk. Standing up in a
round box the angular corners of the
four BOTTLES met at the center; and
with their rounded fronts the four
bottles filed the cylinder snugly.

It was at the sheet music counter

The young woman had leaned over
the counter and listened thoughtful

when he had concluded his very try

as if in doubt. Then she frightened.
"Perhaps you mean this" she said,
and she hummed a fragment of tune.
"That's it." he exclaimed, grin

After he had bought his piece Of

said, in answer to a question, that very
often a customer who came in to buy
a song did not know the name of the
song and would sing the air. 0ftener
still, the customer would know one
or two lines of the song and would ex-
pect the saleswoman to recognize the
song from the brief quotation.

should be a sufficient guarantee Of careful
attention to the inner man. Just a word
about these cars: The dining room is To-

walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks and stationery, and
a library service embracing the leading
