The publishers of "The American
Boy" Detroit, Mich, have secured from
Will Lexington Comfort, who was the
youngest newspaper correspondent in
the Philippines at the time of the death
of General Lawtoh, an exciting story,
based upon fact, relating the experiences
Of the youngest CORRESPONDENT in Gen
ere! I-awton's army. The hero of the
story was the first of the newspaper cor.
respondents to cable to America the
news of the death of General Lawton at
the hands Of the insurgents. By an al
most superhuman effort the boy cores
pondent, who was with the army at the
time of the shooting, made his wav
through the enemy's country to the cable
office and flashed the news to America
three hours before any of the other cor
respondents got possession of the cable.
1t was a notable achievement on the
part of boy. The story begins in the
February number Of ''The American
,, Boy"

Grover Cleveland, Retired.

The speech Of Grover Cleveland before tte Tilden club in New York last night was the first pub lie utterence of the former presi- dent on political lines in five years. For that reason as much as anything he said his remarks will be read.
 His piea for harmony in the ranks os the demotyacy, after sulking in hls tent for years be- cause he lost control of his party and because his party repudlat ed him, sounds much like the words of d man who has quarreled with his neighbor and who wants to ''make up provided the neighbor will ''give in" It Is easy for Mr. Cleveland to ''harmonize" when the other fellow is willing to join him in all he demands.
 It would seem that what is call ed the eastern wing of the demo cratic party cannot hope to con trol the affairs of the democracy of this country under the leader ship of suee men as Grover Cleyo- land. If ln any possible manner he she ull be foisted upon the par ty it Is not difficult to outline the political revolt in the west. 1t would seem wise, therefore, to permit Mr. Cleveland to reman in the retirement for which he pleads.
 The democracy must be pro gressive to VII. and 1t does not deserve to win with leaders like Mir. Cleveland, Kansas City World.

ANALYZING MOTION.
Interesting Scientific Observations of the Movements of Athletes
 and Birds.

Recently, Prof. Marcy has devoted special attention to the investigation of athletic feats, and it is not exag- geration to say that by carefully study ing the photographs, it is possible, not only to discern how the feats are ac- complished, but with little practice to initiate them more or less success fully. A high jumper, for instance, without raising the center of gravity of his body any higher than another jumper, is seen to clear several more inches by keeping his head and shoul- ders low. His back is bent, thus bring ing down his center of gravity as low as possible. An unsuccessful rival puts forth far greater muscular es fort, large part of which is wasted unnecessarily in eleyating his head and the upper part of his trunk and thus raising his center of gravity, says Pearson's Magazine.
 Any kind of professional labor in- volving great technical skill, such as performing a delicate surgical opera tion, drawing a tooth, playing music
 
 skilled manual work, may be studied in similar fashion, and far more effeetp- ally than by the longest course of theoretical teaching.
 The problem of birds flight is a par ticularly burning one just now. when. as everybody realizes, necessary cor ollary of its complete solution will be the long sought flying machine. With his photographic revolver, that is, q camera in the form of a gun, but charged with sensitive film instead of with more deadly ammunition, Prof. Marcy has succeeded in obtaining as- tonishing results, recording the sue eessful movement of the wings in actual flight.
 He has photographed birds, indeed, from every point of view, sometimes , from three points of view simultane- ously and has even applied in their case a somewhat analagousSdeviee to that of the white braid on the velvet clad man. By attaching small piece of tinsel to point on birds wing and then taking photograph with the lens permanently uncovered, he has ob- tained a luminous line indicating the trajectory through space of that par ticular point. He has dedueed many l important observations-among oth- CTS, the fact that a motion of a birds wings closely resemble that of screw propeller, point very clearly brought out in some of the photographs from 1 which Prof. Marcy has made models in bronze.

 A Russian journalist relates regard ing Tolstoi and his recent illness that when the doctor told him that he was out of danger, he replied: It is pity to give up the resignation at the thought of death." What troubled him particularly during his illness was that his physician would not allow the windows to be kept open.
  1 Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, now in his ninety-second year and known all over the British possessions as the evergreen admiral" has great desire to die at sea. With that end in view he is constantly going on long yoy7 ages, hoping that the grim messenger may find on the blue water he has sailed for so many years. The typewriter seems to have made more progress with European royalr ties than with European statesmen. Neither Lord Salisbury nor Mr. Bal four approve of it, and even Mir.

On the other hand, the ezar and czarina are experts in its use, the kaiser is it's advocate and 1 the king of the Belgians and the Sultan use it extensively for their per i sonal correspondence.

SUCCESS COVERS MISTAKES,
Errors of Judgment Are Often 0yer~ looked When the Outcome Jus
 tifies the Procedure,

It is not just that the propriety of the act should be judged by the event; and it is not true that it will be, as cheap sheer would have it, writes Capt. Alfred f. Mahan, in the Inter national Monthly. Success unaoubt- edly covers mistakes; for human na- ture Is on the whole generous, or at least good-tempered. It is willing to forgive faults which it can afford to forget, but failure does not with any equal certainty entail condemnation, for again mankind is generous, and nowhere more so than in dealing with military men. Even though mishap ensue, where fsn officer can show pre- posderant military reasons for de- parture from orders, he can anticipate from his superiors intelligent eompre- hension and aequittal, which the pub lie will confirm on their finding; but while this is so, let none be rash enough to anticipate immunity on the score of error of judgment, when it can be demonstrated that with the data before him man who knew his business would have decided other- wise.
 Actions that fly ii the face Of ascer- taiS able fact, or of well-settled milf= tary principles, are not 10 be excused as merely errors of judgment. They are sometimes more and worse. A man is just as much responsible for an error of judgment which results from his own neglect to inform himself, or his lack of professional knowledge, Rs he Is for any other misdoing. What is>amiss here is not judgment, but conduct. Such errors when they take shape in action, whether of com mission -or- oi onnssion, are miscon- duet. They have a standing as acts, external to and independent of the persons committing them, just as mur- der has standing as a crime quite independent of its association with the individual criminal As killing is not always murder, bus depends for it's character upon the attendant cir eumstanees. so particular unfor- tunate military movement is not al- ways misconduct. Circumstances may be proved to justify it. In neither ease, however, is it the judgment of the person concerned that determines conduct to have been good or bad. It is the circumstances, passed upon by judges other than himself, and re- ferred to recognized standards.

CURIOUS WAYS OF HoPI MAIDS
Men pf Their Choice to the Altar.

In this age of advanced views on mat
 rimonial entanglements and obliga- tions it is refreshing to read of the cu- rious marriage customs of the gentle savages of the Hopi tribe, in Arizona. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Here the Hopi maid does the wooing. for the women of the Hopi brand are held in much higher respect than are their coppery sisters of kindred tribes. And when the Hopi maid has selected the youth of her choice she goes to his house as Q suitor for his hand and tes- tifies both to her devotion and her in dustry by grinding corn beneath his roof until he is sufficiently impressed
 with her qualities to yield and name the day. When the Hopi maid leads the man of her choice to the tribal l. tar she does so in the midst of elabo- rate ceremonials of long duration, and when all is over she takes him to her home. Nor does she yield this owner ship when she weds, On the contrary, the house, the fields and all the prop erty save the herds belong to the wife. This, as will be seen, greatly facilitates the Hopi method of obtaining a di- vorce, for when the wife tires of her husband she simply takes his saddle
 from her floor and losses it through the door, and the divorce Is complete,
