KEEPING ALIVE A
FINE SENTIMENT

What fine thing is sentiment. 1t
is leaven, force that is playing a
beautiful part in the refining and
regeneration of mankind.
We do things that serve no prac-
teal purpose; that put no money
into the vault; that rear no fortunes,
because of the human love that is
in rs. and 50 long as We DO them we
know that we are ON the road that
leads TO a higher existence.
Here's a little story that teaches

love of country locked
President Roosevelt was passing
Mount Vernon and The tomb of Wash
ington in the Maynower. He noticed
the ships company take position, the
marines line mp the ships bell toll,
the national colors dip. and bugle

mony at this special spot and that
there was no regulation requiring it.

And finer yet. he learned that the
pilots of the Potomac. the men whose
fathers many generations. back per-

THE CHEERFUL HABIT.

Nobody contributes more largely
to the general good than one with
hearty sense OF good humor. Troubles
disappear at his approach and under
the magic influence OF his contagious
geniality cares and worries. which
seemed so heavy. become light as air
and mere cause OF smiles.
One with a sunny. hopeful, humor-
Gus nature is like physician during
a plague.
II is not possible. OF course, for
everybody to be witty or humorous.
IL is just as reasonable To counsel
people To be poets or to be- beautiful
as to urge them to be wits or humor-
lists. Wits and humorists are born,
not made. and there Is hardly any
thing more melancholy, than the
person without any sense of humor
or grain OF wit. vainly striving to
win applause and dulling the edge of
/ patience.
Franklin said that no foes are SO
troublesome as those who have wit.
and those who with unreasonable
\ jests make light or serious and sa-
cred things,
II we cannot all add TO the fund OF
good humor by ''lambent flashes" OF
wit and the beautiful. gracious charm
OF an Oliver Goldsmith or Mark
Twain, IL is nevertheless within the
power OF all tn take cheerful view
of things and to cultivate our own
good humor
Our temperaments are made for
us, but our habits are our own max
ing. And the good humor and cheer
fitness are largely habits.
a cheerful frame OF mind comes
with a desire and determination "a
be cheerful, and the habit, like all
other habits. grows with time and
use.
Whoever cultivates the cheerful
habit will find his reward I'm his own
happiness, which viii grow as he
perceives how muct his cheerfulness
and good humor add TO the happiness
, OF others.

WOULD ABOLISH GRADE.
Highest Grade In the Army Abolished
BY New Appropriation Bill.

Washington, February 7.-Provision
for the abolition of the grade of lieu
tenant general, the highest rank in the
army, is made in the army appropria-
tion bill, which has been ordered re-
ported to the House from the commit
tee on military affairs.
The section is very brief, simply pro-
viding that the place shall not be filled
after the retirement of the incumbent,
Lieutenant General Bates.
If this legislation secures the APP
proval of Congress, Major Generals
Corbin, Macarthur and Wood will not
be able to secure the expected promo
tion to the grade of lieutenant general.
Another provision of the bill. if ac-
cepted by Congress, will stop the prac-
tice of promoting general officers for
the purpose of retiring them at higher
grade. 1t prohibits the promotion of
an officer above the grade of colonel
and his retirement unless he shall have
served at least one year in his last
grade.
