A young man employed in an oyster
shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
his employers eager question. The
employer had six lively little land tur-
ties. which attracted much attention
as they wandered aimlessly about the
window. He painted a large white let
ter on the back Of each Of the shells,
and put up a notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such rel
ative positions that the letters spelled
oyster he would present half a dozen
natives to every one who was looking
on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams Of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 720 to l against the combination.
The turtles are still In the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge Of odds, the employer
thought, could have been acquired
only by years Of betting experience. It
Is not wise to be too wise.

For centuries, in armies, the sword
has been the emblem of authority. |:
Is a sign that the man wearing it is an
oficer Inc is on duty. The figures on
his straps or mis- collar may show the
grade OF his Office, but the sword shows
without his telling it that he is on duty
and represents authority. Having the
sanction OF hundreds of years as the
emblem OF authority, what substitute
could be adopted to show that an ON
Ger is on duty? The patrolman . a
club. which shows that he is on duty
would such a badge be less cumber-
some than the sword for a military
officer?
There is reason to believe that for
years to come the emblems of visible
authority like the sword will be need

plined militia, but who Of those having
experience would think OF discipline
and soldierly conduct without the
sword-bearing oflcer? Even the en-
listed mar who refers to his o~ficer's
sword as a toad stahber" will appear
TO be no soldier upon examination.
Who would accept a commission or
who would go to the expense Of pur-
chasing a resplendent suit of military
clothing and equipment IL the sword
should be abolished? In such an event
that marvel OF gold lace and cooked
