A NEW STANDARD OF HONOR.

Boy Kills His School Friend in Interest
 of Discipline.
 The worst side of the Prussian spirit of arrogance was brought out on the Hussner- Hartmann case, which is now being tried by court-martial. The story is this:
 Two boys, Hussner and Hartmann, were at school together, and were prob ably very good friends. Hussner stud jed for the navy. passed the necessary examinations and became that lordliest thing on earth. to paraphrase Kipling, German officer. Hartmann, under the national system of universal mili- tary service, was drafted into the army. They met casually both being of course in uniform; and Hartmann, delighted to see his old school friend, apparently forgot for the moment what discipline required of him and made motion to shake hands with Hussner; then, re- membering himself, turned gesture into an imperfect salute. The high dig nifty of Lieutenant Hussner, by the grace of God Prussian officer, was nor tally outraged, and, drawing his sword and remarking. When I draw my sword blood must fowl" he ran his old school friend through the body. His school friend promptly died, and Lieu tenant Hussner going home, as prompt ly wrote to the mother of the deceased, saying that he had killed her son for the honor of the Prussian service. Ap- parently there are several different ideals of honor in the world, and Lieu- tenant Hussner represents one of them. It will be interesting to see whether his imperial master and, great exemplar will acquit him. should the court-mar- tial take an extreme course and sen- tence him to a few months imprison- ment.-Harper's Weekly.
