SINGLE OFFICERS IN DEMAND.
Caused by the Crowded Condition oil
Military Posts.

The overcrOwded condition Of the residen-
tial quarters at the various military posts
in this country. due to the return of regi-
ments from the Philippines, Is embar-
RAISING the military authorities. The trou-
BILE is not so much with respect to housing
the officers themselves as with the members
Of their families. The situation has reach
ed a point where bachelors are favored
over benedicts in assignment to stations
with limited living accommodations where
such discrimination Is possible. And 1t is
even asserted that where there is no other
choice between two young candidates for
a commission 1t Is bestowed on the single
man in preference to one who is married.
Even then it is recognized. however, that
the bachelor appointed is not likely to con-
tinue long in single blessedness. The DOW
ers-that-be admit that their authority does
not reach to the extent of interfering with
subsequent affairs of the heart. 1t is made
plain that there is no official prejudice
against matrimony-quite the contrary-but
just at present the military posts would
afford better accommodations for more
officers If it were not for the family at
tachments of some of them. Congress pro-
vided literally for the army in this re-
spect during the session just closed, but
it will be many months before the addi-
tional quarters authorized are ready for
use.

A BURGLARS CHANCES.
He is Not the One Usually Who is in
Danger

A man who was arrested by local detec-
tives few weeks ago and afterward SEN
fenced to the penitentiary on a charge Of
burglary talked freely to the officer con-
corning his manner Of living.
will you tell me why you prefer a life
Of crime to that of an honest, upright
MANI" the detective asked him. 81 have
often wondered added the officer. why
burglars will take such desperate chances.
when so frequently there is but little to be
gained
But we don't take the chances" said
the burglar THE man who comes after
US takes the chances. He takes his life in
his own hands when he leaves his bed
chamber and goes in pursuit of an unwei-
come caller. The odds are all against him
and In favor of us. We know where We are
and have an idea from where the occupant
of the house will come. OF course. we only
go to rob, and. when necessary, to fight
No burglar Is going to get caught il he can
help 1t, even Il he has to resort to murder"
Still" the detective reasoned. you are
bound to be in danger some time. and that
some time. should think, would deter you
from taking the chances"
There are remote chances" the burglar
said, but they are so remote that they are
never considered. If you will consult the
records you will see that not one burglar
In hundred cases ever gets hurt Until
there Is a great change in the results you
may depend upon 1t that burglaries will
not cease"

monastery failed to repress the brilliant
inquiring mind of the young man. and he
became an advocate of the abolition of tbe
shogunate and the restoration of mower f.

was placed In chief command of forces sent
against a rebellion in the north. He asked

Twice more did he have to ask before his

VINO had commanded a corps in the field
and had been minister of war, begged per-
mission to enter the army in the lowest
rank and work his way up in the European
fashion, as an example to Japanese young
men of rank.
He was soon major general and the
charge of the army was kept in his hands
until he surrendered it voluntarily a few
years ago. He was made field marshal Of
the three divisions of the Japanese forces
in 1885, when all the prestige of his great
rank was needed to hold in check the Jap
anese soldiers infiamed with their victories
and 1t was felt that komatsu alone could
restrain them. He resigned his martial
position and honors to give his time to
CIVIL interests. such as the Red Cross hos

1887 he was Japan's ambassador to the
queens Jubilee, taking the grand star Of

DROPPING OF A PENNY.
Other Passengers Are Much More In.
terested Than Owner in It's Fate.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Have you ever noticed the interest that
money attracts, even If it is only a single
cent? The next time that you see copper
coin dropped in street car just observe.
Every eye in the car will turn to the spot
where 1t dropped, and there will be mani
tested a real general concern over it's re-
covery. Two or three heads are likely to
come in contact over the point Of its dis
appearance. and then their owners will
draw suddenly back and try to appear I'M
concerned; but in another second they are
again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is usually
the first who appears to have brushed
memory Of the trivial occurrence aside. but
just as soon as the eyes in the car have
turned from him his own are sure to go
back to the floor in the hope that the
truant coin will be seen.
When he has gone there is a renewed in
terest among the passengers, for the stage
of finders keepers has arrived and those
near the spot of disappearance become
quite diligent until they are aware they
make center of attraction. But interest
in that Httle->coin Is not lost while there
is a passenger left, and when the car is
empty the conductor takes his turn and
resurrects the cent.
