snort. Are Useful.

That a given occupation Is pursued
for sport and no longer as a means or
livelihood does not necessarily with
draw It from the category OF things
useful for training. The natural boys
pursuit of frogs, birds and woodchucks
is survival OF habit Indispensable
to primitive man. Hunting and fish-
ing were the most necessary means
of livelihood for savages. They are
pursued aow as sports as well as fus
livelihood, and there is good training
in them when prncticed merely as
sports. They teach civilized man alert
ness, accuracy OF observation, quick
ness Of action, endurance and patience,
Just as they developed these valuable
qualities in generations of savages,
who never knew what humanism, al
trusm and ideallsm were. The justih-
cation of unproductive athletic sports,
like ball games, races OF all sorts and
dancing, lies in the facts that they de-
velop In civilized man some of the In
valuable qualities which hunting and
fishing developed In savages and that
they recreate and revive in people who
lead the unnatural life Of civilization
the power for useful work They also
defend young people against laziuess
and vice by affording pleasurable activ-
tiles and innocent gladness.-President
Charles w. Eliot In Atlantic.

In the morning, despite the threats and
entreaties of Barry and his guests, he
departed 1t was his ideals of honor
that said he must go; 1t was his square
law which caused this decision to be
carried out, but 1t was his newly dis
covered heart which tortured him
poignantly with pictures of girl be-
hind the palm screen, scarlet checked,
with her eyes on the fox rug. He went
to the other side of the continent.
IL was June when he came back east.
At the Office he found letter from
Barry saying he would never be for
given IL he did not run up into the
country for day or two upon his Inn
mediate return. For a moment the
thought of going there filed him with
a vague dread. but this be put sturdily
from him.
"Come, closer ranks therew he said
grimly TO himself. Don't skulk behind
the bushes In that fashion" And, fore
staIIing his arrival by telegram, he left

For moment the member Of parlia-

Thorpe had ideals of honor and a
Iquare jaw. The latter showed that he
had the courage and determination to
keep the former above compromise. In
deed Thorpe's ideals were no less unre.
lenting than his method of backing
them up. BE also had heart. Several
little affairs had made him aware of
the existence Of that organ, but of its
real nature, its capacity for untold
pleasure and its potentiality OF untold
pain, he was quite unaware until he
met Emily Royce at the Barrys' house
party.
Then there began strange proceedings
In his cardiac region, the like of which
he had never before experienced. He
rode with her through the autumn
lanes. he shot with her in the autumn
woods. The world and its cares were
somewhere far away, and life was very
new and strange and altogether charm
ing.
1t was the evening of the impromptu
dance that Thorpe came back to earth
with shock. He and Emily were
seated behind screen OF friendly
palms. Some one was playing VALID
teufel waltz on the piano, and the
swish of skirts and the click of dainty
shoes on the polished floor came In
pleasant rhythm. They had drifted
from the shadows of commonplace talk
into deeper waters. Her cheeks were
scarlet and her eyes had dropped t
the fox skin rug at her feet. The words
were on the edge of his tongue, bu
they were never said, for suddenly tn,
square jaw set, the shoulders wen
back, and Thorpe in his masterful way
was suggesting that they take turf
or two In the waltz.
That night, in the secluslon Of hi
own room, Thorpe lit cigarette ans
communed with himself. That Emil.
Royce was the one woman in the worl,
he would ever care for he admitted
frankly. But Emily Royce was tn
heiress to a round million. and Thorpe
assets were merely promising ARA,
of prospects. There was but one cours
left TO him, and as he lit another ciga

Department Commander T. T. Blan

which bears on the coming encampment
Of the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, This will be the Goth an
nual encampment of the department,
and will be held at Simpson Park on Big
Stone Lake, June 90 to 25 inclusive.
The commander calls early attention
to the observance of Memorial day, ur-
ges the various posts in the state to be-
gin to make their arrangements for a
fitting celebration. In this connection
the commander says:
"In order that the observance of Mem.
orial day may be what its great founder
designed-a great rally day for the in.
culcation Of patriotism-let the posts se-
cure the cooperation ofmayors and other
officers of municipal corporations and Of
school boards and teachers, to the end
that all classes and especially the school
children may be brought to participate
in the gathering. Let the influence of
every old soldier be exercised in dis
contenancing the desecration Of this
sacred day by public games or sports
calculated to detract from its sacred
character"
