to avoid the center of the floor. In n
few minutes he repeated these tactics,

THE ARMY CHAPLAIN'S RANK
A Measure That VIII Probably BE

There is very laudable project in

beyond that stage-whereby the chap
lains Of the army are destined to be
benefited. Legislation Is in view FOR
their relief, and during the next ses-
sion Of congress, short rs 1t Is, an eff
fort will be made to rcorganize the
corps, giving the senior officers, say
the first ten or twelve on the list, tho
increased rank of major. 1t may be
that the promotion from captain will
be dependent upon service-that 10 to
say, n chaplain who shall have served
for n stipulated period In his corps
shall be advanced to a majority, and 1t
may also happen that the new law will
contain requirement OF examination,
although that appears hardly necessary
under the circumstances.
If chaplain gets into the army now,
after the examinations already held to

A Historic bible.

Asa W. Waters Of Philadelphia has
presented the Bible Of his pilgrim an
cestor, Governor Bradford, to the Pill
grim Society Of Plymouth. This his
toIic Bible 'cns printed in London in
1902 and was taken to Holland by VIII
liam Bradford when the pilgrims emf
grated to that country early in the sew
entcerth century. In 1920 il was
brought over in the Mayflower and
used as a family Bible by Governor
Bradford until his death in 1857, when
1t became tho property OF his son Jo-
seph, whose name with the others Of
his family, is written on the fly leaf
The order in which it was handed
down from that time follows: From
Joseph Bradford to his son Elisha
then to Alice Bradford. daughter OF
Elisha, who In 1857 married Zebulon
Waters Of Stouyhton. Mass; then to
their eldest son. Captain Asa Waters,
who fought vnliantly in the Revolu-
ton: then to his grandson. Asa Brad

Waters of Philadelphia inherited it
from his father upon his death in 1885.

occasion to interview Dom Paul Kruger
and met with about the same fate that
many interviewers have had with the
former president Of the Beers,
He found the old man in q very bad

but to no avail. Finally despairing Of
getting any information of use to him

Romance of a Lockout.

During the distress among the Co
penhagsn workmen on account Of a
lockout In 1887 the public was appealed
to for contributions.
An old couple In Jutland having no
money. sent in their wedding rings as
their humble contribution for the relief
Of the starving people. The organiza-
ton kept the rings as nemento of
this kind act.
Recently the old couple celebrated
their golden wedding under very dis
tressing circumstances. They were ac-
tually starving This came to the
knowledge of the Copenhagen work
men. A collection was organized. and
In few days the old couple received
ESQ IN cash and two new wedding
rings, with grateful acknowledgment
of their kindness during the time OF
trouble.

great sacrifice Of the public funds II
one or two incompetents profit by the
integrity Of their more conscientious
associates.
1t would be a hard matter to estab-
lish a system Of supervision by which
the chaplains are selected for advance
ment. The method Of choosing accord
ing to longevity is the easiest and most
just, probably, IL for no other reason
than that the chaplain who Is found
unworthy Of advancement to a major
ity is equally unqualified to serve as
captain and ought to be wholly re-
tired. The chapalns do not seem to
be concerned In the movement for leg
islation. At all events. none Of them is
conspicuous in the preliminaries. The
project is likely to be feature Of the
