MANEUvERs ABANDONED.
No Combination of Army and Navy
This Year

There is a possibility that the joint army
and navy maneuvers may fall through
this year. There is doubt as to the
benefit derived from the maneuvers by
both arms of the service. but in view OF
the expense and the separate maneuvers
to be held by the regulars and militia IL
is believed that the joint army and navy
maneuvers will have to be abandoned. 1t
was originally proposed to hold the joint
maneuvers in Chesapeake bay, but the
Idea has been given up impracticable
this year, at least.

emulate their deeds have been taken into
custody by the police They had for a hid
ing place for their booty cave on the
banks of the Missouri, a ver1table arsenal
stored with nitro-glycerine, dynamite,
fuses guns and pistols. To develop nerve
for big jobs they held up belated pedes-
TRANS in the lonely parts of town and prac-
ticed blowing up rocks and stumps to ac-
quire skill in the use of explosives. To the
police captain they confessed to eight hold
ups that in the last few weeks have puz-
zled the detectives. The proceeds from
these hold-ups netted the lads more THIN

of it:
cit is a privilege to know such fine and
interesting story as The Yoke 1t is an
instructive and strong picture of the EYE
tan life at the period Of the Exodus, and a
very effective blending Of the Hebrew and
Egyptian characters.
Il like very much the skilful de,ineations
Of the gradual change of faith in the young
sculptor's mind until he fairly bows to the
God Of Israel. Every reader will fall in
love with Rachel and be glad that despite
such obstacles the romance ends in the
right way. The character sketches are fine
The Yoke altogether is good book which
