Since the introduction of smokeless powder
marked change has come over the entire aspect of
war. The individual marksman has become the gen
eral after the battle opens
This thought may not be pleasant for officers
of high degree, but it is nevertheless very the
truth The greater the marksman's skill the higher
he should be- If not in rank, then in the estimation
of his superiors
The American soldier must stand pre-eminently
above all others because of his intelligence and re-
somcefulness.
The War Department is strainng every nerve to
produce the best guns and ammunition, and to train
the soldier how to them.
The Lord is no longer on the side with the
heaviest artillery. The sharpshooter now has his in

We have recently witnessed an insignificant col

the earth, simply through its knowledge of how to
shoot better and truer than the other fellows There
is an immense amount Of thought in this fact, and

citizens and soldiers should be taught how to shoot,

built palace all of dreams, and it
Was passing fair to look upon; for there
The domes and minarets that caught the glare
OF sunset were of fanc>s exquisite;
And over all deep shadows seemed to fit
And softly brood, for every bond of care
BY music undone; the twilight air
Breathed melodies beyond our mortal wit.
And there, within those walls dreamed that we
Might find refuge from the world we know,
A little haven and restfu strand
To seek, and finding, be forever free
Amid the fragrant zephvrs there that blow,
For that is Loves unchanging sunmer-land.

To souls like thine:

In May. 1902, the will of Cap tain Randall was executed and on the hundredth anniversary of that event will be fittingly celebrated, on the broae lawns and in the spacious halls of the harbor on Staten Island.

All wht have visited the water girt little borough of Richmond have noted with interest the blue clad, white haired old salts wan dering around over the country roads or sitting in little knot2 on the wharves or al street corners smoking their pipes and spinning their yarns of other days and other climes. But withal few realize the extent of this community built up by the century old benefaction, of CaptaiI Randall. or of the startling growth 6' this modest gift.
 For to vast proportions 1t has grown Sailors Snug Harbor. aside from its great farm and buildings on Staten Isl. and. has an income from property in the heart of New York City of close to $500, 900 and growing in volume every year
 In all there are some sixty buildings comprising the Harbor. the lest erected of which was six winged hospital com pleted in 1899 at cost of Sl00.0o0.
