LIGHTER WORK TODAY.
Drilling of outposts at Army Maneuv-
ers in Kentucky

CAMP YOUNG. WEST POINT. KY, Sep
tember 29.-After yesterdays all-day ad-
vance and rear guard maneuver the light
task assigned the regular army men today
was greatly welcomed. Todays work in
volved the drilling Of outposts. and it is
thought that the Cossack system of this
branch of field work. recently adopted by
the army, will be given its first trial. The
principle Of this action Is that small
body of men does duty at the outposts. in
stead of having relief patrols. In this
matter the pickets cover the territory in
fan shape, instead Of advancing In a
straight line.
The camp is in readiness for the militia Of
the various states, and their arrivals be-
gin tomorrow. The weather continues mag

Kitchener Not the Man.

In regard to The scandal in the war office
he says it is precisely what he expected,
and he needed no findings of commission
to enlighten him on conditions as they
exist. The war office authorities are en-
titled to all the censure they have received
and he did not believe Lord Kitchener was
suited for the war Office.
His observations in the orient led him to
believe that Russia playing an inter-

so she sends in railroad battalion to take

She will GUST all Americans from theYalu

Hotel LibrarIes.

A grievance which more than ore of
our contemporaries has lately venti-
lated, says the London Graphic, is the
rarity Of libraries in English hotels;
and it may. therefore, be opportune to
draw attention to the method by which
a large number Of Continental hotels
cater to the literary requirements Of
their clients. The plan is for central
library to supply each hotel with a
reasonable number of modern novels.
The visitor who wants something to
read must, in the first instance, buy
book; but the single purchase makes
him a member Of the library, and he
can, for a small fee of twopence-half-
penny, exchange it for another at any
depot at which he finds himself. Buy
ing a volume at Boulogne, for example,
he can read it in the train. effect an
exchange when lie gets to Dijon. 1t
is q system which many travellers
(whether Of commerce or otherwisel
have found convenient; and one would
be pleased to see It tried experiment.

II Cured Him of Lying.

The Rev. DR.. Twining. when, he was
pastor of the Congregational Church IN
Hinsdale. Mass, told of the paradoXical
way in which the habit he had when little
bow of telling startling stories to his mother
was once for all and completely broken up.
He had prevailed on his mother, after
much earnest entreaty, he said, to buy
for hlm half a dozen Shanghai hens
kinsley giving as reason for the purchase
that the Shanghai was vastly better
layer than the ordinary hen.. After walt
inC a good while for some evidence OF TINS
greater fecundity his mother SAID to MN
one day: How about your big Shanghas,
Kinsley? Instead of laying better, lney
don't seem to have laid at all. Yes,
they are laying, ! tell you, mother: there $
nest now under the cows GRIP with
twentv-three eggs in it." well, Bridget,
go and get Kinsley to show y,ou, where they
arc, and bring them in. "Well: said the
doctor. II did not even know for certain
that there was a nest there, much less
that there were any eggs in it. However,
as I was in for it, | went to the barn
with Bridget, put my arm down into the
hole in the corner Of the cows crib, telt
and tool: out an egg, and put it in the bas-
ket. Then I reached in and took out an
other, until l took out in all just twenty
three eggs Outwardly," continued the
doctor. Il was triumphant, but was
soon smitten with not only remorse, but
terror-terror because l thought that
Satan was encouraging me to cast in my
lot with him by helping me out with my
mendacity. That was the last OF my wrong
s.ory-telling!"

Racing at Fifty Degrees Below

Ice footracing is something Of a
nove;,y. although was accustomed to
It, says Sandy Frew, in the Seattle
Post-Intelliscnccr, having run Charlie
Lee on the ice in Omaha several years
ago. An ice track is the fastest track
that can be had. You can get good
foothold and it is elastic enough. You
CAP get just the kind of bound you
want. The great trouble in ice racing
is to keep yourself at the proper tenn.
perature. Under proper conditions
can easily beat ten seconds fiat on

weather we had in Dawson when 1 tell
you that it was fifty degrees below
zero when the race was pulled of.

girls doomed, by the two unknown con-

HOBO For the Luke Warm,

DR.. Culyer tells how those who have
grown lukewarm or cold can again feel the
life of God pulsating through their veins.
He says:
Simon Peters best work was done af.
ter he was reconverted. Do not stop with
lamentirg your neglect of the place of
prayer. Open again the door of devotion!
At the earliest moment lay hold of blood
stirring Christian work; it will warm you
blood into full, free circulation again and
to cover your lost ground and lost health.
But when you do get fresh tide of
Christ's love pouring into your heart and
fresh glow of His likeness in your coun-
tenance. you will feel as Lazarus must
have felt when he shook of the grave
clothes and leaped into life again" -.

First, there are nearly 5000 families

forty have been found to contain a
Jenny" ten Of whom are infants and
five of advanced years. Ten more are
married. leaving only fifteen OF the
age and condition necessary to include
them in the category Of young girls.
One Of these died yesterday, the
daughter of Abram Rogers, living in
Fifty-sixth street. Her disease was
scarlet fever, and her death was le-
gitimate one. There is, however, one
fact connected with it that we have
thought it we'll enough to record.
Some three weeks before any signs of
disease had developed in this girl she
came to her mother and told her that
she was haunted by strange man.
We should have said shadowed, for
when her mother forced her to explain
she told how certain man whom she
did not know, but who had every ap'
pearance Of being gentleman OF
means ard culture, was continually
being met by her in the street, at
church and on the school steps. How
he had looked at her, not disrespect'
fully, but too intently for her to doubt
that his interest was the result uf some
strong motive, and though he never
addressed her, he always had the ap-
pcaraEce of being on the verge OF
doing so. She was not afraid Of him,
but she would rather not walk out
alone, and after this confession her
parents took good measures that she
should not be calltd upon to do So
