"A matchmaking contest would be
something new In the way Of an

the guests be furnished with n piece
OF small rope OF suitable length. and
with illustrations and descriptions of
the knots TO be made. Simple prizes
could be aworded to those who make
the most knots correctly within a
given time, and 'boosy' prize to the
one. or onesrfor there would quite
likely be number-who stumble
into making 'grannies.'
''The nnly qualifications needed
for the granny is total ignorance OF
the art aud sclence Of knot-making.
Lay the end OF the two pieces of rope
together, and--woll Just knot them.
There yon have your granny Put
pressure on the rope. and one Of two
things will happen; either the knot
will slip until the ends are passed
and you are as you were. or else the
knot is drawn together so fearfully
tight that il seems as II no power
on earth viii possibly unite It.
'knot-making is a pleasant and
useful hobby. and liberal education
to those who are naturally clumsy
with their hands. Every one should
learn at least the simplest knots"

MILITARY EDUCATION
FOR SAVANNAH BOYS
BY T. H. GIGNILLIAT.

as means for giving young men the
mental balance. The problem in the
youthful mind of the relation of the in
dividual with all the people with whom
he may be thrown is more quickly
cleared up in this way than in any 9TH
er. He sees at once that there are
some people, whom in the nature of
things, he should obey; and in obeying
whom promptly he honors himself. He
likewise sees that there are others who
are absolutely obligated to obey him,
and whose obedience he must enforce,
or else merit censure himself. That
clears for him a whole set of problems;
he is never afterwards doubtful about
complying with the directions of per-
sons having authority. and he is never
afterwards doubtful about his own
powers and limitations in controlling
'others who may be, in some way, un-
der his direction.
The Idea of Obedience.
have sean many boys who seemed
constantly to be ashamed of yielding
compliance to any direction given to
them by anybody. They had never
been taught the military idea of the
honor of obedience. These same boys
are always equally uncertain of their
rights to demand anything of anybody
else under any circumstances whatever.
1t is almost impossible to place them in
a position where they are required to
give direction to any one. Their tone
of command is so uncertain that no one
can be expected to carry out any d.
rection given by them. Such boys
have never been taught the military
idea that the obligation of enforcing
obedience, when placed in a RESPONSE
BILE position. is as great as the honor
of obeying, when placed in subordi-
nate position. A year or two of milf
tary life is an absolute necessity Tor
such boy to produce in him the high
est degree of efficiency as a man.
What Military Training Does.
1 know of a millionaire whose boys
have been to a military school for the
last two or three years, who says that
he would not take any amount of
money for the advantage this has been
to his own boys in enabling them
to meet and handle both
guests and subordinates about his
own magnificent place If this thing
is worth money to a millionaire's sons
it is worth just as much money to a
poor mans sons. There are no closed
markets in this world for young mems
abilities. Every young man, rich and
poor is finally thrown out on the same
great, big, open, worldwide market, and
is there weighed and bought so far
as talents are concerned, according to
what there is in him.
In superficial matters, such as per-
sonal bearing and erect carriage, mill
itary drills are, of course, most bene-
fetal In the matter of health they
are helpful, but the greatest gain to
the average young man, as has been
pointed out is in self-poise and in the
ability to meet and handle all man
ners of people.

81 felt pretty sure that Appearing
Elk told the TRUTH I drew his story
from him in detail, and this is what
he said:
We had surrounded the last clus-
ter of soldiers when my pony was shot
from under me. When / got on my
feet again discovered that I had
been wounded. Suddenly a man in
blue doomed up in front of me.
Il knew he was a big chief. He was
swaying like a drunken man from ex-
haustion and loss of blood because OF
many bullet and arrow wounds.
felled him with my tomahawk and
then sat on his body to be sure that
l should not be robbed of my spoils.
In order to make doubly sure / took
the revolver from the holster of the
dead man and stuck IL in my belt.
Il didn't scalp the man, because his
head was shaved. and l was ashamed
to take a mere piece OF skim
Il know positively" continued Mr..
Daloria, that the revolver taken by
Appearing Elk was subsequently iden-
titled as Clusters, and so far as / have
been able to learn, Custer was the on
ly man in the command who had his
head shaved"
Appearing Elk died last spring.

There is a movement on foot having
the approval of the superintendent
and principals of the Savan-
nah public schools, to organ
ize one or more companies of cadets
amongst the boys of the High School
and the upper grades of the grammer
schools. 1t will be helpful to rising
generation If the parents of the boys
will appreciate the opportunity that
this will give their sons for improve
ment The expenses over and above
the cost of a uniform will be 'nomi
nal. The uniform will serve as win
ter suit for two years.
We American do not love the sword
over-much; we. are nation of builders
and not a nation of destroyers: but in
building 1t is sometimes necessary to
carve, and in nation building it is
sometimes necessary to carve with the
sword.
The word Sword" as used in the
Bible, is said to stand for the truth,
and in the life of a nation the time
comes now and then when it is we'll
to use it, as in our late war with
Spain.
Too much of the military spirit is
not popular with us, especially when
it branches out in the hauteur and ar
rogance sometimes noticeable in regu-
lar military officers. That is militarism
gone to seed, and is apt to give the
average American a feeling of disgust.
But as the sword stands for truth, the
true military spirit stands for some
thing equally good, and there is a time
in the life of almost every boy when
an influx of a little of this spirit will
help him in a way that no other thing
can ever help him.
What Military Spirit Means.
The true military spirit stands for
alertness, thoroughness and strict at
tention to duty. Many an American
boy. during the best period of his
youth, drags on a daudling existence in
a frame of mind and condition of body
that would be impossible after a sim
gle year in any military organization
whatever.
Promptness, attention and concentra-
ton are required to execute any mill
tary command. They are required dur
ing the entire hour of any military
drill. l am sorry to say that there are
many of our young men who appear to
grow up to manhood without ever hav-
ing learned the meaning OF these three
words. To such young men year in
almost any military organization would
be worth more than a thousand dollars
placed to his credit in bank, the ulti-
mate money value to him would be
more, apart from the self-satisfaction
that improvement on these lines al
ways bring.
Gives Mental Balance.

even approaches the military education

 Mir. Stedman had been engaged iu removing some rubbish from the rear yard of the bank and place his cuffs on the fence. He went into the bank for q few minutes and while their his cuff holders and pearl but tons were taken but the cuffs were left.
