island of Guam, where the germ Is

in the Philippines.
Mr.. Theall has been defending q

tiaI at the Washington navy yard on

with his accounts, and In order TO

GERS who after service IN Guam for q
year or more had been found to be
entirely united for duty.
Guam is the most isolated Of all the
American military stations IN the FAR
east. A few naval and marine officers
and a small detachment Of marines
constitute the entire Engllsh-spealZi
population, and the climate is so ener-
waiting that even the most ambitious
quickly succumb and lead q life OF irk-
some routine unembeIlished with out
side interests. The result Is physical,
mental and sometimes moral deterio-
ration. Dozens Of young officers who
have had a tour Of duty on the island
find themselves on their return to civ
iization quite united to take up the
ordinary service to which they have
been accustomed They are subject 70
physical weakness and to mental de-
preston which makes them irrespon-
sible for their actions.
Since Mr.. Thean has called pubic
attention to q condition which has
been understood for some time in the
service there is proposition TO re-
quire every ofieer relieved from serv=
ice in Guam to undergo special medi-
cal treatment before being detailed to
active duty elsewhere.

An Inexpen.tve Dinner.

Get shank-bone of beef with plen-
ty of meat on it, put over the fire in
enough water to cover it, and let it
simmer until tender. Take out half
the broth and meat, and to the re-
mainder add any kind of vegetables
you like. When cooked, season high
~, cut the meat in small pieces,
thicken little and serve. Simmer the
meat and broth that are left until the
broth just covers the meat, season
highly, turn out in a bowl, and the
next day slice downscold and eat with
tomato catsup. Another way is to
stew the meat, like a pot-roast with a
little water; Keep adding hot water,
and let the meat brown in the kettle
until tender. Season, make a brown
gravy, and serve. The meat and gravy
that are left will make nice pie for
the next day. l always add little
beef extract in warming over beef;
it gives good fiavor.-Woman's Home

When Taken There.

of our well-intentioned efforts to

opportunity. 1 have tanned many
squirrels, but, sooner or later, every
one of them has escaped to the wilds.
1 have never known but one wild ami

that refused to stay in the woods
when taken there; and this was a
little possum, named, from the color
of his long nose, "Pinky."
He was one of family of nine
that / caught, several springs ago,
and carried home. In the course of a
few weeks his brothers and sisters
were adopted by admiring friends;
but Pinky, because he was the "runt,"
and looked very sorry and forlorn,
was not chosen. He was left with
me. l kept him, for his mother was
dead, and fed him on milk until he
caught up to the size of the biggest
mother-fed possum of his age in the
woods. Then / took him down. to the
old stump in the brier-patch where
he was born, and left him to shift
for himself.

bit" half to death, and anyone would
have supposed that being put gently
down in his home briur patch would
have tickled this little possum still
more. Not he! went home and for
got him. But the mex morning.
when breakfast was preparing, what
should we see but Pinky, curled up
in the feather cushion of the Kitchen
settee, fast asleep.
He had found his way back during
the night, had climbed in through the
trough of the pump-box, and had
gone to sleep like the rest of the
family. He gaped and smiled and
looked about him when awakened, al
together at home, but really sur
prised that morning had come SO
soon.
He took his saucer of milk under
the stove as if nothing had happened.
We had had a good many possums,
crows, lizards, and the like, SO. in
spite Of this winsome show of con-
fidence and affection, Piaky was
borne away once more to the briers.
He did not creep in by the pump-box
trough that night. Nothing was seen
of him, and he passed quickly out of
our minds. Two or three days after
this 1 was crossing the back yard,
and stopped to pick up big Gala
bash-gourd that had been on the
woodpile. 1 had cut round hole,
somewhat larger than q silver dbl
lar, in the gourd, intending 20 fasten
it up for the bluebirds to nest in.
1t ought to have been as light as so
much air, almost, but instead it was
aeavy-the children had filled it with
sand, no doubt. / turned it over and
peeked into the hole, and 10! there
was Pinky.
How he ever managed to squeeze
through that openiay l doLt know
but there he was, sleeping away az
soundly as ever.
And what became of him then? Nv
heart snites me whenever think OF
it. I took him back again to thu
woods the third time, and again he
returned, but Numbered into a neigh
boris yard, and-and little later he
was drawn up in bucket of waite,
from the bottom of that neighbors

not wake him up.-Dallas Lore Sharp,

GOOD HAZING STORY.
Night Expedition of SophomOres Had
Q Blessed Purpose and ID With
out q Parallel

The best hazing story of recent
years is now going the rounds of the
press, credited to Frank Hlnkey,
Yale, "a, the famous left end of Oiu
Ellis football team of that year.
1T happened" he remarked in
1892. Some sophomores noticed
two poor country boys had
their housekeeping in room on the
ground floor of one of. the college
halls, with miserable apology for
a bed, no carpet, no table, and only
two chairs as the sum total of their
outfit. They proposed to board
themselves, but had only a few dol
lars for their food during the term
They expected hazing and were not
disappointed.
Zone night, the trembling youths
were summoned by sophomore,
who was not overcou1teous. to go to
q room upstairs. They obeyed. pale
with fear. They were detained about
an hour, but were only quizzed by
the circle of students in the room.
They then were released. Entering
their own apartment, they were daz-
zled by a new carpet, a tasteful bed
stead, fully equipped. study table,
easy chairs, a handsome drop lamp,
a bookcase partly filed with books,
a stove, pictures on the walls. rugs.
etc, while in a closet were enough
provisions to last a week.
That" declared Hinkey. in closing,
was hazing to a blessed purpose,
but, alas! l fear it has no parallel"

That, no matter how naughty I've been

Mammals always so good to me.
To-day when my very best doll tore her
frock
/ punished that child most severely.
And locked her up in a cold, dark room.
Till she should repent sincerely.
But after Tc turned the key in the lock
felt so unhappy. and sorry. and sad,
That just had to bring her right out again,
For loved her though she was so bad.
Then 1t came to me all in a minute,
As rocked my doll on my knee,
That mamma is only a great big girl.
And her very best dolly is me.
