The board of army officers has recon-
mended that a special class of marksmen
be established In the army to be known as
expert rifiemen,'' who will receive extra
pay. This principle is recommended to the
Governor and the legislative military COM
mittees. Put up prizes for the company and
for the individual who makes the best score
in rifle practice.

STATE SOLDIERS HOME. LAFAY-
ETTE, Jan. 3.-Every officer. except the
trustees, every employe and every member
of this Home is financial unit of the value
of $3.50 a month. This $3.50 month in
the aggregate. aside from few other con-
siderations of revenue, supplies the total
fund for maintenance of the institution.
Unlike all other institutions of the State.
special appropriation is made for this
purpose. If every member of the Home
should be moved by the impulse to
leave on the same day-and there is moth
ing TO keep him here except his own will
or desire-the Home would cease to be, not
only as to membership, but as to revenue.
Thus, the more members the greater the
revenue and more numerous the comforts;
the less the membership the less money the
officers have to spend for maintenance.
The taxpayer may grumble a little at
being called upon to support soldiers
home, but his Importance in bearing this
burden is not as great as he thinks it is,
because of every $50 a year paid for each
old soldier In the Home the general gov
eminent pays to the State 800. leaving $50
only for the taxpayer to assume for the
support of the Home. Last year this per
capita Of officers, members and employees
amounted to SS.S2S.23, to which is added the
statutory appropriation of $1,000 for the
commandments salary, and $500 for the adj
jutants salary, making in all $S0,92S.3 80.
That is what it costs to maintain the Home,
and Of this amount the general govern
ment paid s27.955.1S. and the taxpayers of
Indiana s52.g73.15.
The officials at the Statehouse, by some
twist turn in bookkeeping, make it APP
pear that the taxpayer of the State is bur-
dened with the whole amount. The trus-
tees and other friends of the Home have
sought assiduously TO convince legislators
and State officers that the Soldiers Home,
as ii really is. is the least expensive. of all
success apparently has not been accom-
plished. for there is a constant prodding of
the officials of the institution to be more
economical. Yet it is very difficult to con-
vince them how that can be done, particu-
larly in matters of diet. The old soldier
grumbles more on that account than any,
thing else although the food is very good
but as the veteran had a sensitive stomac
during the war in its relations as to what
the commssary should do. it is now. 1t
moves him sometimes to be picturesquely
expressive in resenting suggestions or adj
vice that he should be contended with what
he gets.
WHAT THE HOME WILL ASK.
The authorities of the home will go to
the coming Legislature to ask for money

ter the United States service. The aforesaid

ter the United States service. The aforesaid
section is political bone thrown in to APP
pease the state governors. 1t should be cut
out altogether or throw them the whole
beef. Under our form of government the
National Guard is necessity for state pur-
poses, and ii would be unfair to him who
gives his time and talents to military
training. without substantial reward or
compensation, to cut him off from the
honor and emoluments for which his pa
thence and perseverance have fitted him. 1t
would also lose the Nation a valuable
trained military organization.
FURTHER OBJECTIONS.
"a newspaper raises the objection that
this bill takes the command of the guard
out of the hands of the governors and puts
ii in the hands of the President, while its
tendency, as whole. is to nationalize the
militia. If the editor will again scrutinize
the bill he will find the Governor has the
same power over the organized militia, or
National Guard as he has under present
laws and customs. The bill makes no
change in the manner of drilling, disciplin-
ing or differing the guard. 1t has always
been the custom to muster into the United
States service In the way set out In Section
"a, which is not approved. for reasons
above mentioned. The Senate cut out that
part of Section "a that permitted the Presi-
dent to order out for drill the National
Volunteer Reserve, as encroaching on the
Governors prerogative. and being of
doubtful constitutionality.
1.-THE bill authorizes the same pay and
allowances to the National Guards, during
encampments, as are received by the regu-
lar army of corresponding rank. This has
been the law and rule in Pennsylvania and
many other States for number of years,
and has produced good results. Supplement
this law by wise legislation increasing the
pay of the guard drill nights and large
gains will result for the money invested in
the way of discipline. attendance and vet
Grams in companies. While do not advo-
cate prodgality, / believe a general prin-
ciple of business will bear out the asser-
ton that 1t is unwise to be too parsimoni-
Gus with the National Guard. They must
be taught discipline and how to shoot,
which takes time and money. or they will
be worthless against the trained veterans
of Europe. This bill is long step in the
right direction. and. properly supplemented
by a state law, will result in ideal Ma
tional Guard. Future wars will be short,
sharp and decisive. Modern commerce is too
interdependent and modern arms are too
destructive for conflicts to be long drawn
out. The nation that has the best fighting
machine at the beginning will have a great.
If not decisive. advantage over its COM
petitors.''

Importance of the Comma.

Spare Moments.
Recently school inspector arrived at a
small town in Germany and requested the
mayor 10 accompany him on a tour of in
spection round the schools.
The mayor as he put on his hat muttered
to himself:
Il should like 10 know why that ass has
come so soon again.. a remark which the
inspector overheard. but affected to ignore.
Arrived at the first school. he began to
examine the pupils in punctuation, but was
told by the mayor:
We don't trouble about commas and such
like"
The inspector merely told one of the boys
TO write on the blackboard:

spector Is an ass
Now" he added, put a comma after
'Ritzelbuttel and another after in
spector
The boy did so.

Relation of Hair and Strenuth.

A child of died the other day of no
known disease, says the New York
Press. It pinned away. The doctors
are puzzled. They did not take notice
of the fact that the mother had per-
sistently refused to allow the young
ster's hair to be cut. Not many
doors away playmate with similarly
long hair began to fade, and the SEN
sible mother, listening to the advice
of her aged father-in-law, had her
darling's head clipped with machine.
The result was astonishing. Within
a few days there was a rally, and now
the child is vigorous. We have men
of all isms and lists, but the effect of
hair is not understood. While one
~1li1d may thrive with a shock of it,
another will die. In case of Henry,
aged 5, all his strength seemed to go
to his hair; the instant the barber re-
moved it the boy got strong as young

gardlng its authorship-there is never
any question as to who wrote the plays

to the theatrical profession as we'll as
to that part of the public that follows

perienced Clara Bloodgood into a

ton called "The Bird in the Cage" has
presented Sandol Miliken to New York
audiences.
1t is the custom to blame Mr.. Fitch
for writing too many plays and to as
sert that he should limit his output to
one play a year, and devote all his
time to rewriting and polishing and
building up that one play Those who
say this are not familiar with the play
wright's working habits, and those
who know him best say that if he were
to limit himself to play a year he
would finish it within few weeks and
devote the remainder of the twelve
months to worrying about its details
In conclusion it may be said that the
remarkably successful career of this
young playwright has not served to
render him extensively bumptious and
conceited, but has left him even
simpler and more modest in his man
ner than he was at the beginning
