The Real Thing.

"Shadows of Sin" is the most
charming and fascinating story
imaginable. 1t is really a grand
character picture. It's na~turalness,
it's simplicity and withal it's
great human interest is what
makes the play, fascinates and
charms, as it really does. One
moment you are sailing along on
the ocean of sentiment when along
comes a wave of merriment which
makes you forget the pathos OF a
moment ago. But the author has
so we'll constructed his play that
you are brought back again to the
thoughtful mood when the story
calls for it. At Ferguson's opera

Company of Twenty-Fourth In
fantry COnceaIs Evidence
of nurder.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
President Roosevelt has had
brought to his attention another
case in which a company of negro
soldiers has refused to give evil
dence, and in all its essential fea-
lures the new case is on a parallel
with that which resulted in the
discharge of Companies B, G and
D of the twenty-1fth infantry.
On Oct. 8 last, First Lieutenant
Robert Fl. Calvert of Company M.
Twenty Fourth Infantry, a negro
regiment, was murdered while
Company M. was stationed in,
Leyte Province. p. 1. Quarter
master Sergeant Taylor, who has
been twepty-one years in the ser
vice, was called to the tent of Lieu.
tenant Calvert shortly before the
crime vas committed. He is, so
far as known, the last to see the Of
fcer alive. While he was in the tent
loud words were heard and shortly
afterwards five shots were fred,
all of them striking Lieutenant
Calvert and one of them piercing
his heart.
There is no direct evidence to
convict Taylor of the crime. All
the enlisted men Of the company
have been placed under arrest for
their refusal to throw any light on
the case. 1t is believed the presi-
dent will order the dishonorable
discharge of all the enlisted men
of the army.

of q sob in tit was Rosy's

sound of q sob in tit was Rosy's
voice!
Nate Downey hurried on. The
wind tossed the snow in his face,
clouds were drifting up from the
west, and plotting out the stars.
He called finally across the field:
"Rosy! Rosy!" The wind caught
the name as it left his lips and
tossed it away.
The little voice sang no more.
Only the wind kept up it's swift
minor swell, and went on heaping
little mounds in the corners. A
great fear was in his heart. He
called again. Oh there! whence
came the little voice that cried
sobbingly: "Papa, oh, papa!"
He sprang forward eagerly, cal
ling again and again. and each
time the little voice answered, till
at last he had his own little daugh-
ter in his arms; the little Christ
mas angel who had come through
the snow to him with her message
of peace.
Nate Downey stopped a minute
at the door of the church to let
them know. Rosy was fast asleep
in his arms; she stirred a little,
half wakened by the lights and
voices, and murmured drowsily
the words of her Chri stmas song:
"Peace and goodwill. goodwill
to men!"-Rural New Yorker.

FORTS WITHOUTTROoPS
SURPRISING INADEaUACY OF
THE COAST ARTILLERY.

Some surprising facts regarding the in
brought out In the recent examination of
Secretary Taft by the Senate committee
on military affairs
The Secretary presented data showing
that the present authorized force OF Coast
ARTERY Is sufficient to provide one relief
for only "a per cert of the guns, mines
range finders, etc, now actually installed
or authorized for the coast defenses Of
the United States. This Is exclusive of
reserves, supports, etc, and is based upon
the actual number of officers and men re-
CURED if the entire force of Coast Artillery
could be mustered in line and each man
marched to his position
1t was also shown that there is an aver
age shortage of men of more than 80 per
cent in the Coast Artillery companies. and
that due to this shortage, less than %
per cent of the defenses can be actually
manned by troops row in service. In case
of sudden outbreak of war 75 per cent
OF the coast defenseS would have to re-
main idle until such time as volunteers or
raw recruits could be trained to handle the
high-power guns, mines and posltion-hnding
system, etc This great shortage is said to
cient to induce men to enlist for the Coast
Artillery.
To obviate these conditions. Representa-
tive Hill of Iowa, has presented bill IN
Congress which carries increased pay for
certain grades in the Coast Artillery that
require technical skill, and increases the au-
thorized strength by about 5000 officers
and men. The bill, if passed, will increase
the authorized strength to 10 per. cent OF
that required for one relief.
