This is q sad


tho true commentary.
The motor man did not think
his train was moving unduly fast
which speed cost twenty-three
lives in an accident. Many another
man did not think, when indeed
his mind should have been busy,
thus to have saved his future repu-
tation. An evil act of moment
causes lifelong sorrow-6rst just
because he didn't think. 1t is be-
cause [ didn't think, that | am
here today, and this very omis-
sion on your part may be the only
reason why I have an audience.
And yet another thought. l
once knew we'll meaning chap.
who boosted that he had not been
inside church for years. How
little he thought of the evil such
statements scatter. Our thoughts
become realities, and in this case,
he who thus boasted came to ruin.
Another young fellow | knew,
rather a reckless, careless chap
when in his late "teens," boasted
that he always went to church
once every week, because he had
thus promised his mother on leav-
ing her for the West. He has be-
come leading business man in
one of our Middle Western cities.
Even if we be crowded, I am
sure you will be glad we remem.
bered this, that we do not begin
to live long enough; and why?
Well, it is largely matter OF habit,
this thing of dying. Our divis-
ion of mammalia, are by comparison
very short lived. A lion natures
at 5 years of age and lives to be
70 to 80 years of age. The dog is
mature at Is months, and is not
called old until 10 or Is years of
age. We should therefore live to
be 200 to 400 years old, for we are
not mature before 20 years of age.
Figure it out yourselves.
Think of this in passing-drunk-
eness is now a crime in Minnesota,
punishable by Imprisonment in
the county Jail. The state fur
nishes everything, both cause and
effect. Brewery, distillery, sheriff.
court, sentence, weeping wife,
babes and disgrace. Kind hearers,
Minnesota and all the states in
which the parole system prevails
have been imprisoning for this
ofense, since the system of parole
was inaugurated. The sign of
King Bacchus-causes thousands
of men in the United States to
break their coveted paroles every
year. May he who makes and
distributes the cause of this shame
90 ever free, while the dupes of
their perfidy grovel in the slime of
their vomit? God forbid! The
oldest man in my audience will
live to see the brewery and distil-
Iery outlawed, and the saloon a
sad memory.
He, who has read Charles Lambs
"Confessions of a Drunkard," has
read profitable story. The gay
evening with it's so-called wit, and
the stranded morning after when
the hero of the story could but
poorly apply himself to his bread
winning tasks. What shame,
what sorrow! Or De Quincey's
can Opium Fiend." Oh the
corpse-like dance of insanity! The
police courts of any city reflect
the truthfulness of these two great
books. Yes, think as you read
and be warned.
We may think, proGtably, too, OF
the dangers lurking in Goth GEN.

.Rahi Bah, Bah Bah, Bah
West Point West Point West Point!
Japan! K 5aPon! Japan!
Then, as one man, they dropped to their
horses. 1t was not until two men were seen
bringing a stretcher that it was learned that
Cadet Boone had been hurt. The spectators
did not see the accident.
An inspection OF the cadets mess hall and
quarters next on the programme. after
which the gymnasium was visited. The Japan
csc had perhaps their first opportunity there to
see a boxing bout. It was only two round
affair. but the two cadets who INDUCED in 1t
were good hitters and it was lively while it
lasted
FOUND BOXING AMUSING.
The boxing seemed to amuse General Kuroli
more than any other feature Of the exercises.
which included a fencing bout and gymnastics.
The time had now arrived for the review.
the grand feature Of the afternoon. All was in
readiness, when General Kuroki made known
his desire to the cadets a wetting. Cap
tain Tanaka explained for his chief: The gen.
eral did not want the cadets TO get their uni
forms wet and ruined
But had General KuroH known the disap-
pointment that his magnanimity caused among
the cadets perhaps he would not have made his
request
KUROKTs HIGH PRAISE
The return to the Privateer made at about
o'clock. Before departing. General Kuroh ex-
pressed to Colonel Scott his pleasure and ap-
probation of what he had seen. Through Cap
tain Tanaka he said
Il want to congratulate you on the fine ma
teriaI you have here for the army of the United
States. The cadets are excellent men, and am
sure. will make great generals"
General Kuroki. who a great admirer OF
General L. s. Grant, asked his host to point
out the latter's tomb.
General Kuroki met General Grant in 1871
when the latter was on his trip around the
world. He only a colonel then. He has
always regarded General Grant as one Of Amer
ica's greatest men.
General KuroM has cancelled his contemplated
trip to Coney Island Sunday, and instead.
will pay visit Sunday morning to Grants
Tomb
Last night General Kuroki, his staff and Cen
eral Wood attended the performance at the
Hippodrome. The party also went behind the
scenes
The plans for the generals entertainment here
have been changed somewhat The visit to the
Stock Exchange. intended for this morning, has
been cancelled. The only engagement for this
afternoon is as the guest of Colonel Robert
clubs. The large subscription dinner given by
well known Americans will be held tonight at
the Hotel Aston.
Another change in the generals schedule is
the visit to Grants tomb on Sunday morning,
and in the afternoon luncheon given by Cen
eral Kunok at the Hotel Aston.
