few words relative to the commits
stoned officer. No matter what rank
he has, failure to pass two successive
examinations on the same subjects,
results in his being ordered before
retiring board. This in itself has
tendency to make the student officer
as well as the other officers, exert their
best efforts toward maintaining the
high degree of efficiency set by their
predecessors. Furthermore, I believe
that you will agree with me when say
that the army officer who has labored
earnestly and conscientiously to develop
the service into the efficient and trust
worthy organization that we have at
present, can we'll be classed with the
educated men ut the day. Having q
large variety of useful information,
possessed of fine conversational powers,
yet conspicuously modest and retiring,
the army officer has at all times proved
Thanks to the knowledge obtained
from the many officers schools estab-
lished, every captain could, if called
upon, command q regiment, brigade,
ETC., as we'll as grace a ballroom
with his erect and manly figure. Dis

or on duty at some foreign embassy

alone l concluded to obtain
his views on climaxes to fascinating
plots, for had just finished reading
novel and was surprised to learn that,
when all of his rascality was known,
the villain still remained hero to q
girl. So mentioned the book to Jack
and said: "There is no more incOm-
prehensible thing than the human
mind. This book is, of course, pure
fiction, but do you think such thing
possible in real life?"
"You have touched the keynote, lad;
there's nothing SO unfathomable as the
human mind. 1 think it mighty
good thing, too, for the good of all. 1t
doesn't matter what novel you read
there must be good and bad characters
or it would be uninteresting. 1t is the
same in real life. If every one was q
saint there would be no sinners. Then
we might be happy-we would have
the world to ourselves. And some-
times a sinner becomes, to some, q
saint. Don't believe it? Well, search
the archives of history, or peruse the
Scriptures and you may learn for your
self. AS Hugo states: Man has upon
him the flesh Which il at once his bur-
den and his temptation. He carries it
with him and yields to it.
To be saint Is the exception. The
least amount Of sin is the law Of man;
no sin at all is the dream of angels
ALI that is earthly is subjected to sin
for it is a gravitation.' This fact con.
duces to make life worth living; being
recognized as the lot of man, one does
not need to lose hope. The villain in
novels, plays, and in real life is rep
resentatioE of human type, and there
