GREAT CAME Of
LIFE HIS THEME
MINISTER DELIVERS AN EL0-
oUENT DISCOURSE
PICTURES HUMAN FRAlLTY
Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills Says at First
We Look at Life Not Seriously
Enough, Then Too
Seriously

THE Great Game Of Life" was the
subject Of an eloquent discourse deliv-
cred before the Los Angeles Fellowship
yesterday morning by the Rev. Benja-
min Fay Mills.
AT first we look at life not seriously
enough, and then later we regard it
too seriously" began Mr.. Mills. mo
thinker ever conceived Of this life as a
finality or existing for it's own sake.
The Oriental mystic regards 1t as an
Illusion; to the Christian, it is a pro-
baton; to the idealist. a symbol; to the
wise man of the world, theater; to the
scientist, laboratory; to the seer, a
prophecy; to the teacher of ethics, a
moral warfare; and to the philosopher,
a school or gymnasium. All agree that
If it is good. then it is good Cor all its
parts, and not exclusively for one man.
But it does exist for us and we for
it, Today we are going to consider 1t
as a game. In order to play a game
we'll we need a field, the apparatus, an
opponent, and to know and fulfill the
conditions Of success.
Taking up the field first, we do not
know the cause of the world, but a
sufficient account of it for our present
purpose is that it is a gymnasium, a
great stadium. We play because 1t Is
our nature. Men are only boys grown
tall, and boys play that they may do
mems work by and by.
For the apparatus we have our own
marvellous equipment, body, mind and
soul. There is also nature. Every ele-
ment is challenge and provision for
friendly contest. Our changing con-
ditions. experiences. with Its surprises
and deceits, and our fellow men, all
these are both apparatus and players.
Says We Are All One
I'VE are all one, but in order to play
the game we'll we pretend to be two.
almost as we'll as we, but not quite, and
almost as we'll as us, but not quite, and
he must win some games. This Is a
sufficient account of evil that we need
opponents, and we make them. If the
lesser seems to win, it is still ourselves
and only adds interest to the next en-
counter. In every sane moment we
know we cannot be defeated. We choose
to play and the seeming opponent is q
part of the game. How fiercely mer
fight and boys play football and then
eat together. There is no real cause
of contention between the Japanese and
the Russians; the men of the two
armies fraternize between the battles.
"The conditions of success are, first,
skill. The reward of doing a thing is
having done it. Emerson says, The
plays of children are nonsense, but
educational nonsense. Second, we need
confidence. This is really the sine qua
non. The evils of life are not unbear-
able. The trouble seems infinite, but it
is not. Who resolves to go through 1t
without finching, comes out stronger
for his struggle. We do not know what
we can do till we try. Confidence Is the

Gen Ainsworth has had a remarkS
Bile career. He entered the army as 4
medical officer and when only holding
the rank of captain he devised sys'
tenn of indexes for the record of the
army by which at moments notice
the record of every soldier could be
obtained. The work developed into
ere of the greatest of it's kind in the
world, and to-day there are on file
s., ,947 ,939 index record cards giving
the individual service records of all
the soldiers that ever served the
United States, and also the record OF
nsarly 100000 confederate soldiers
He was entrusted with the publication
Of the records of the rebellion.
amounting to several hundred vol
umes The data which he has collect
cd and stored in his Office is the most
valuable ever compiled by a govern
ment, and of the greatest use in deter
mining pension cases and claims
against the government.
Gen. Ainsworth's peculiar talent for
this sort of work earned him the re-
spect and admiration of very strong
friends in congress, and he was ad-
vanced in rank by congressional action
rather than by the act Of the, execu-
tive branch of the government. His
case is not unlike that of Gen. Wood,
although he has not seen the active
field service that the latter has. He
has been delving into musty records

army life.

proved that to get rid of flies and

these insects must be destroyed. Flies
breed in stable manure piles, barn

troughs and wherever there is stag

DRESS AND COLLEGE.
Tie College Girl Must Pay Very Care
full Attention to the Outfit for
Fa Daily Wear.

Even the girl whose talents drive her
20 attempting a college course upon
nothing a year" is not superior to
sartorial needs. And, indeed, the less
money she has the more carefully must
she acquire the new raiment in which
she is to "storm the heights" and let
her remember that, no matter how
much she loves frills, they are not for
her now At home, where laundry
work may be managed" many a girl
INDUCES to an absurd degree and
dresses far beyond the tiny part in
trusted her in life's drama. But
enough! Any girl who is seriously
going in for learning, with a capital L,
is above such advice. She is, however,
likely to be also above the subject Of
clothes. II so, her mamma must think
for her. Sensible, attractive clothes,
of good material, will go a long way
toward making the acquiring Of "book
larnin' agreeable. Let her have good
boots. At least one pair of absolutely
smart, dependable and comfortable
| walking boots. With a second pair to
wear when these are soaked" or 9TH
erwise disabled, she will do.'' She
will also need gymnasium shoes. Girls
| in for style and comfort also must have
q pair of Oxfords, a pair of slippers
and bedroom slippers. In addition to
| her ordinary hosiery, girl should
have two or three pairs Of warm CASH
mere stockings, else the outdoor sports
side of her education will be lacking.
AS for underwear, six of each article
should be ample, together with three

ing pieces.
ter, couple of knitted woolen petit
coats will be necessary. Strong,
heavy gloves are a necessity, and, in
case of social engagements, fine gloves
in harmony with the clothes to be
worn. Such things as handkerchiefs
and toilet articles are always accord
ing to habit, and what are used at
home are taken along. A macintosh
is NO longer an absolute necessity,
since many have their standby coat
suit waterproofed. And whatever her
taste in dress, one decent coat suit
is necessary. It is her sartorial stand
by, and, rather than skimp in order to
have number of dresses, she should
put whole lot into this. With a fine
lingerie blouse, it may be worn to
an afternoon reception, and, in short
is sensible wear for nearly all daytime
occasions. It is Of navy blue cheviot,
the nine-gore skirt much 1ared, and
the loose coat very desirable.-Cai Caicngo

through rain aud shine for many
years, but the elements or the mis-

piece of the marble has either been

relic hunter or mischievous boy. The

hero. These opportunities some
times come in even so humdrum a
line of army work as that of an en-
gineer officer.
Maj. Cassius E. Gillette has been
fortunate enough to thus twice distin-
kuish himself and to-day he is one of
the most talked-of officers in the
army. 1t was he who eight years ago
discovered the frauds in government
contracts at Savannah, Ca, which led
to the conviction and imprisonment of
his predecessor in charge of that work,
Capt. Oberlin M. Carter. He has just
completed an investigation of public
works in Philadelphia and has shown
that the political gang in that city
lave secured nearly $7,O0O,O00 in graft
from two or three city contracts.
Maj Gillette knows no influence Of
any sort in the discharge of his duties.
At Savannah he was ostracised by the
society people because he dared to
charge Capt. Carter with fraud. Capt
Carter had been a social lion in that
city, But Maj. Gillette did not hesitate
tc encounter criticism and ostracism,
and finally landed his predecessor in
prison. In his Philadelphia investiga-
ton he was charged with working for
political effect and with SO timing his
report as to make it influence the city
and state elections. This charge had
no effect on the courageous army Off
Ger, and he stands to-day with the
best record of any of his associates in
tie corps for efficient work in the pro-
lection of the government and in fer
