|G0oD sCHooLToEDUCATE MINISTER'S

Army officers are somewhat mystified
by the attack made on the service by
Secretary OF the Treasury Shaw in his
recent address to the graduating class
or the United States revenue cutter SER
vice at Baltimore. Secretary Shaw's
statement that If a man works for the
government for hire he is of no use
and that there is nothing that will AXE
the native capacity out of a man as
quickly as employment in any branch
OF the army or navy has aroused wide
spread comment n discussion.
Major General James H. A. Wade,
commanding the division OF the Attain
tic, expressed himself as being entirely
at a loss TO understand the reason for
this sweeping denunciation by the sec
rotary Of the treasury.
He says here" said General Wade
TO a reporter in his office on
Governors island, tapping with his
glasses at the same time a printed re-
port of the address, that West Point
would be a good school to educate MN
listers. 1t seems to me that 1t is a
very good school for the purpose for
which it is used. 1 never heard of any
"a from West Point turning min
lister, but l have know a great many
West DIN cadets who have made eX-
tremely capable and valuable soldiers
and accomplished feats for the country
Cor which the whole nation should De
grateful.
Did you ever know an army officer
who wanted to do good work to be sup
pressed at any time in such an endeav-
or, as Mr.. Shaw states?" asked the re-
porter.
mo. l do not understand that refer
ence al all. l do not know what it
means. l cannot see what could be the
purport of it. Army officers are con-
stantly suggesting improvements and
working hard owe them. Artillery
equipment is a very scientific affair, and
these officers are studying 1t all the
time. A good many of them are be-
coming skilled electricians and studying
diligently in that connection explosives
and everything that goes into the mar

DOORYARD

We always pity the woman who has
to look out On a pile of old brush. tin
cans, moldy chips, ancient potato par
ings and coal ashes. every time she
glances up from her dish washing, or
her ironing, or baking, and turns her
eye toward the window. 1t is enough
to take the courage out of the bravest-
hearted farmers wife in existence.
1t is enough to make her wish she
had married Tommy Briggs, the gro
GERS clerk, and rome to live in the city,
where there are no pack yards to speak
of, and one doesn't expect to see any
thing worth looking at.
A farmers home ought TO be beauti-
full and clearly and healthful. There is
no reason why 1t should not be. Ma
ture, in all her lavish glory, lies all
around it. The sunshine is waiting TO
sweeten it, and the free winds OF
heaven purified by wande: ings over
miles of clover blossoms are ready to
blow across it the breath Of healing.
Let the farmer do his part, and there
is no home anywhere on Gods foot
stool SO delightful as the farmers
home.
Now, you lear men, don't say you
have no time for any fol-de-rols. We
are not talking of fol-de-rols. We are
talking of decency n cleanliness. III
you can't clean that dooryard of yours
up In regular working hours, get up an
hour earlier every morning for a week
and note the transformation o 2an
make in that time.
1t will not hurt you to see how ma
ture looks before the sun is up on a
May morning and you will get just so
much more oxygen into your lungs;
and when the thing is accomplished,
you'll get enough pure and unalloyed
satisfaction out of the looks of It, TO

extra exertion.
Oh, the dooryards we have seen!
No wonder our insane asylums are filled
with farmers wives! 1t is enough to
make anybody go crazy to have to gaze
on such denominations every day in the
365, to say nothing of the extra days
leap years give.
Everybody knows how many farm
! ers' dooryards are made the dumping
| grounds of every bit of old truck which
acCumulates around the farm from one
| years end to another. And h unfor-
tunate woman of the house has to coax
and plead, every spring, to get a little

fails and she has to do it herself.
Now, brace up, good brothers OF the
pillow. and get that clutter out OF the
way. Get the fence ~whitewashed. Your
farm will be worth more and you viii
feel better in health and spirits: and
If you stop and dig around the neg

taria and fix the trellis for the wood
bine while you are about 1t, you'll not
regret It next summer when you sit on
the piazza some Sunday afternoon, and
inhale the fragrance OF the roses, and
the breath OF the heliotrope, while you
are thinking over what the minister
said. and wondering whether he meant
you, or your neighbor across the way.

What do a young officers duties
consist of-as The secretary's remark
seem to be intended for them?"
1T would not be very easy to ex-
plain them. because their duties vary
so much, according to what they are
doing and where they are doing 1t.
During the day they are all employed.
1T IL a very rare occurrence TO see
officers loa1ng during the daytime.
They have not the opportunity to mis-
spend their time as though they were
an idle class. OF course, IN the even
ing they go about a good deal. But,
at one thing or another, they are con
stantly employed from early morning
until late in the afternoon. Take the
cavalry officer. He has TO look after
the stables the first thing in the morn
ing. He has to take care OF his horses
and attend to drill duty. Aside from
his regular work there are many odds
and ends which claim his attention,
such as supplies, board meetings and
reports, all of which keeps him con-
stantly engaged"
Busy as Bankers.
Would you say that an officer in
the army has his time as fully occu-
pied as people engaged in mercantile
pursuits
That is a comparison that l am
not prepared to say very much about.
The young banker goes to work at 10
and he is through his work at 3 or 4
in the afternoon. An officer works at
least as much as that every day.
Sometimes perhaps not so long, but
certainly longer at other times"
DO you think that any officer CT
the army who invented a new kind of
explosive or a new weapon of defense
would be frowned upon by his super
iors for offering it?"
Not at all. The government, IL it
is a good thing, would be glad to adopt
it, though the officer gets nothing for
it. Frequently very many inn
provements in army equipment and
explosives used by the government are
the invention of officers in the service;
but an officer has no royalty on 1t. An
outsider would get it patented, and, II

One OF the younger members OF tho
house of representatives. a dapper Penn
~sylvanian. has an Irishman as valet, an
excellent servant In all respects with the
exception OF a tendency to indulge in peri
odicaiH sprees. Heretofore the Pennsyl-
vanian had been very lenient, but early
during the present session when his SER
want disappeared without leave for over a
week the employer felt hat his good ma
ture was being imposed upon. SO when
the culprtt returned late one evening he
told that his services were no longer
required.
With characteristic Celtic insousianco
the servant paid no attention to the dis
missal, but resumed his duties In tho
morning. This proceeding happened sew
erai times. One day recently the Irish
man turned up considerably the worse for
his little orgy to be met with the custo-
mary discharge.

Are there not comparatively few APP
pointments from civil life now, and do
you not prefer to make officers out Of
soldiers trained In the ranks rather
than civilians?"
No Place for Ministers.
YES. we do. About 1901, during the
Spanish war, there were a good many
appointed from civil life, and some OF
them were foreigners. AS II is now the
great majority come from West Point"
Would you recommend having the
West Point establishment made large

trained for the army, could be scat
tered through the country as lawyers,
doctors, merchants or whatever else
they might be?"
II do not know how that would work.

a soldier. Certainly not IL he intended

mo, 1 have never seen anything OF that
kind. But / have heard about IL a good
deal. 1 went TO the army myself from
civil life. 1t is natural, though, that there
should be some feeling in the matter as to
classmates. There is a class feeling at
West Point as there is in any college; but
aside from being classmates I do not think
there is any other feeling. 1t is the Gus
tom in the army to take a man for what
he is. If he is a good officer and a good
fellow they like him. Otherwise they do

THAT 1 am not sure OF. It Is always
difficult to get enough of the class of
men we need. Blu we are getting along
pretty well at present. The army, Of
course, is constantly In need of men, be-
cause the soldiers time expires, and some
times they desert"
Has 1t been found a good thing to re-
duce the term OF service from five to three
years."
II do not really see that 1t has made
very much difference"
How about our establishments? Most
Of the soldiers on duty here appear quite
young. There do not seem to be any
old soldiers about the place"
THE old soldiers rather went put dur
ing the Spanish war. The army was In
creased then, and you do not see as many
of them as you used TO. This regiment
has been back from the Philippines for a
couple Of months. 1t filled up very well
when II came back. There are a good
many old soldiers among them. 1 do not
now why 1t is. but you will find In one

man comes In before he gets to be a thor

can be depended upon. There is quite a
good deal to be learned about soldering"
IF IL takes three years TO make a SOL

1t in this way. II a man serves three years

sides soldering. Naturally there would
not be many OF them"

He learns a great deal In IT, and 1t gives
him q chance TO see the world. Then
there IL the advantage OF the discipline he
gets. The life may be sometimes monot-

wants to stay in it, you will keep on en-
listing him until .e reaches a certain

Yes, as long as ne is able to do his
