A Possible Compromise.

Mark Hanna'S successor, General
Dick, was in his youth a teller in an
Akron bank. OF his banking expert
ence he says:
zone of the dcposItors with our Arm
had the reputation of being a miser.
don't know whether he was a miser or
not, but I do know that he would some
times make in one day three of four
deposits-now 81, now 81. now 10 cents
Did you ever hear Of such a thing?
They used to tell a queer story
about this old fellow. They used to
declare that a man once went to him
and said:
I'm doctor. and I'll give you $40,
900 II you'll let me kill you. l want to
see how. cut In a certain vein, a man
dies
THE old miser wrinkled his forehead
Let me think Bit he said.
There was long silence.
'Well?' said the visitor.
" Give me till tomorrow said the
miser. I'll think this business out
thoroughly and tomorrow III give you
a decisive answer, yes or no.
SO the man went away, and the
next day ne returned. The miser said
to him:
can't let you kill me for SIC, 600.
friend. I've figured it all out and I
find that your money would be no good
to me after I was dead. I'll tell what
I will do. though; I'll let you half kill
me for $4,000. Minneapolis Journal.

SWORD IN EASTERN WAR
Recent Battle Prove It to be Effective as Ever
American Government Interested.
clusively that the sword is not
weapon of the past.

clusively that the sword is not a
weapon Of the past.
THE increased killing power of the
magazine rifle and the rapid-fire field
gun has operated to force both the
japanese and Russian armies. in order
to minimize their losses to make many
night attacks. These night attacks are
not SURPRISES by small bOdies Of troops.
but me vements Of divisions and armies
IN ba.t.e formation.
THE suit of this development has
been to force the frequent. employment
of the bayonet by the enlisted man and
OF the sword by the officer, and to IN
crease their importance as fighting
weapons. The losses due to cold steel
in this war will probably never be
accurately known, but enough has al
ready been reported officially on both
sides to show that the sword has been
effectively used, particularly in these
night attacks. These being facts. it
follows as a corollary that the sword
,dopted for officers OF the army should
F, be a fighting weapon and not merely a
badge of Office.
1.-The board believes that the best
physical development can be obtained
only by study Of the physical con-
dition Of each cadet or midshipman and
the use of exercises such as will tend to
remedy his physical defects. This in
wolves the careful and periodical
examination and measurement Of each
Individual and the prescription for him
of suitable exercise.
Tine board is thoroughly convinced
that in order to secure the proper
physical development of the average
student a minimum IF time to be de-
voted to- compulsory physical exercise
is two hours each week throughout the
| entire coure.
THE regular practice of judicious and
hcalthful exercises by cadets and mid
| shipmen throughout their four years
course wiki develop habits and exercise
| in youth which will tend to be pro-
longed into later life sni thus have a
marked effect in raising the standard
Of physical condition andphysical en-
durance in the officers of the United
States services.
THE board finds that the present
force of instructors in physical training
at each academy Is Inadequate to its
needs, even with the l:irited amount Of
time now devoted to this work. With
the extension Of time recommended
above, at least three additional instruc-
] tors will be required at each academy"

The war department has made public
the report OF the joint board of army
and navy officers convened by Special
orders of February to take into con-
sideration the physical training of
cadets at the Military Academy and of
midshipmen at the Naval Academy.
The report is endorsed by President
Roosevelt, who directs that the recon-
mendattons be carried out and also
that a further report on progress be
submitted to him sixty days hence.
Secretary Taft approves the recon-
meidations. except as-to the sugges-
ton that the sword of the army be
made a part Of equipment Of every
ship in the navy for use of officers and
landing parties.
The report is very long. Its most
important feature Is the recommended
ton that the Japanese art Of jiu jitsu
be Incorporated in the course with box
ing and wrestling. The board reports
that it is not Of great value as q
means of physical development. but
the knowledge of the system would in

self-conf,dence. The board recon-
trends that physical training be ex-
tended over the four years course al
each academy instead Of one year. as
at present. In discussing the use OF
swords, and after recommending their
use on ships. to which objection Is
made by Acting Secretary Darling. the
report says:
GAS regards the army. it may be said
that as far as the evidence at the dis
poral Of the hoard goes. the sentiment
Of the army is largely against the use
of any sword at all by officers in the
ield, the idea being to replace the
sword by the revolver. This was the
practice in the Philippines by almost
universal consent and without any Or
ders in connection Herewith emanat-
ing from superior authority.
This widespread opinion against the
sword and In favor of the revolver only
is founded upon service, under abnOr-
nal conditions. in country largely
underbrush. and against a foe who
| rarely stood against determined adj
vance, and with q sword which Itself
WAS an inferior weapon.

modern conditions as regards firearms

overturned. This is the first accident
Of the kind. this season.

day look like mere bird shot. One was
a Federal bullet. ione a Confederate one.
He laid them side by side in the palm
Of his hand The rebel bullet had three
burrows ringing it about where the Yam
kee had two. That was all the differ
cnce. They lay there. cheek by jowl in
the toll-keeper's hand. and gravitated to-
gether again when he rolled them apart.
He gave me the bullets. and l intend to
keep them cheek by jowl as long as l
live.
We left the field by way of the Bloody
Lane. or sunken road. once heaped and
trimming with dead. Though the thun-
der was now roaring and cracking over
head. and the rain falling. meadow larks
and brown thrushes were singing still at
the tops Of their voices. thought of
those queer words of Thomas Buchanan
Reeds that had always struck me whim-
sically before.
Oh. that some beautiful bird Of the South.
Would build its nest In the lannon's
And stop it's awful roar!
They were whimsical still. these words.
The birds OF the South about us could not
stop the thunder's awful roar any more
than their great grandmothers at Antie-
tam battle could have hoped to dam up
McClellan's guns.
But the wheat fields wanted rain bad
ly. Though they were incredibly green,
the tollgate man had told US that the
wheat. for want of moisture. was be-
ginning to head out too soon and far too
near the ground. The deluge of rain
that e!yeloped US was bound to correct
that.
The t'lnder storm was the messenger
of peacr nd plenty. not the echo of dis
mai stlif New York World.
