be an overwhelming business success.
But the average man cannot or will
not do it for the very simple reason
that when the average man yells at
ball game. he is yelling for some
one else to ginger up" or "gct on
their toes" and he has never stopped
to think that in the game Of life he
might very we'll take that advice
home to himself.
The average man is great general.
If you are close observer you can
notice this trait in his character in
the workaday life, but you can see 1t
with your eyes shut at a ball game.
What the team needs he will start
out to tell you. and then he will con-
tinue as long as you will listen to
him with plan of campaign that
could not be beaten. And although ev-
cry general in the grandstand will
have a different plan Of battle, On two
points they will all agree-that the
players should ginger up" get up on
their toes" and that the manager
should make them toe the mark and
fine and bench them If they get stub
born.
But as soon as they leave the ball
ground and go back to work the man.
tie of generalship falls from their
shoulders. They are working for
some dub" boss then, who is trying
to give them the worst of it, and they
are not going to work any harder than
they have to hold their job. They
are displaying the same spirit which
they condemned in the ball player.
They are not "up On their toes there
isn't an ounce of ginger In their
makeup. And right here it might be
wall to quote the words Of Elbert
Hubbard:
If you work for man, in heaven S
name work for him. If he pays you
wages which supply you your bread
and butter, work for him, speak we'll
Of him, think we'll of him, stand by
him and stand by the institution he
represents.
ri think If l worked for a man !
would WORK for him. would not
work for him part Of HIS time but
all of HIS time. l would give him an
undivided service Or none.
IF put to pinch an ounce of 10y
atty is worth pound of cleverness.
IF you must villify, condemn and

position and when you are outside
DAMN to your hearts content. But
pray you. SO long as you are part
of the institution DO not condemn it.
Not that you will injure the institu
ton, not that, but when you dispar.
age the concern of which you are q
part. you disparage yourself"
Now, no matter what we think Of Ell
bert Hubbard, we are bound to agree
that there is world Of truth In what
he says here. Hubbard would have
you do just what your would have the
ball player do-be loyal, give an I'M
divided service or mono. and If you
work for man, WORK for him
which, in another form of expression
is advising you to ginger up" and
"get on your toes'

From the serious viewpoint the Dip

acts ever attempted In an amusement

life In her hands or in her auto car,
when she mounts to the top and

the car In place until it has turned,

tremendous that the strain on this

COLONEL CLIENTS COMMISSION.

Colonel John l., Glenn, assistant quartermaster general, the drummer boy of shiloh was among the officers who successfully passed Roossvclt's fifteen milo test of horsemanship at the Presidio last week Colonel Glenn does not owe his equestrian skill 10 West Point instructions of which so many officers boast, and the reason why he Is not a West Pointer is worth relating. In the early part of Grants first term Glenn obtained an audience with the President.
 MT. President" he opened the i,l- terview, T wish to ask you for an or der to admit me to West Point :"
 Why do you not take the exgn- lnations?' questioned Grant.
 T did, but I failed to pass" That was unfortunate. How did 1t happen ?"
 Why, you see, I was in the war while those other boys of my age were in school"
 Glenn was barely eighteen then and lboyish looking even for his years He had made his own way to the Presi- dent and had no political sponsors to back him.
 "What!H exclaimed the President you were in the war;" "Yes, I was in the war four years, 7 and Glenn related his experiences. Grant wrote something wnich he handed to the young applicant say ling:
 Take this to the secretary ot war. guess 1t will fix you all right Clem went back to the secretary of war who had before received him so coldly as to discourage any one not endowed with unusual grit, anl deliv- cred his note.
 The secretary read 1t and asked; 'Do you know what tnls is?" "No," replied Glenn, T suppose il an order to admit me to West Point"

length. Another thing which Mr. Marsh said must be improved was the position of the pupil. He told of see- Ing students sitting at their desks in a manner which is sure to cause them trouble sooner or later. Some pupils never think of sitting upright, but must lie down, all cramped up, in va nious shapes, too numerous to mention. This is the prime cause of all spinal diseases. He next discussed the ques- ton of having set form of exercises for the students to perform each day. The meeting then adjourned.
