CHAPLAIN JOYCE ON CANTEEN

Commenting on the speech of Chap
lain Joyce on the army canteen, as
reported in The Statesman, the Seattle
News says:
The Rev. Father Joyce, chaplain OF
the Fourteenth Cavalry, rather start
led some of the good people OF Walla
Walla last Tuesday in an address be-
fore the Young Mems Institute, by his
advocacy of the establishment of
the army canteen. Father Joyce, like
all close observers, has seen drunken
ness increase in the army since the
adjustment of the canteen. He has
seen men in the ranks deprived of the
right to purchase beer and light wines
within the confines of the military
post go outside and patrOnize the
low saloons and blind pigs adjacent to
every army post only to be made
drunk on the vile connections there
dispensed, to the injury of army dis.
cipline and the degradation of the
morals of the men. ..-
Hardening to the demand of theO-
rists, congress abolished the canteen
despite the testimony of almost every
experienced officer in the army to the
effect that there had been far less
drunkenness and far fewer assertions
during the existence of the canteen
than at any other period in the his
tory of the army. But then facts had
no weight with the theorists. They
proposed to control the morals of the
men by strict letter of the law, utter
ly ignoring the existence of the tenn
per, training and disposition of the
men who make up the rank and file
of the army. Some passages of Fa-
Their Joyce's speech are so pertinent
that they should be widely read.
The adjustment of the canteen has
done much to encourage dissatisfac.
ton in the army, and to increase de.
sertions. Soldiers are mere human
beings, men of life. virility and with
as firmly fixed ideas of what they
want and what they are entitled to
as the theorists who insisted that the
soldiers be deprived of the canteen.
1t is to be hoped congress will
restore it and thereby improve the
discipline of the army and lessen the
number of desertions

ADJUSTMENTS
AT kEYLoR GRAND TONIGHT.


A novelty in the way of Swedish d.
alect plays will be shown at the
keylor Grand theater tonight, when
the Anglo-Scandinavian cOmedy-drama
"T;lly Olson will be presented here.
The piece has been written around the
central figure of a Swedish girl, who
is bound out" to a family of farmer
folk in Minnesota. Tilly is the only
Swedish character in the play. 1t is
quaint and clever character crea-
ton and new to the stage. lilly is a
keen and bright scandinavian girl
and her odd actions and amusing
pranks viii keep the playgoer in good
humor 1or three hours. The piece tells
a consistent story and has some scenes
of considerable dramatic power. The
locale of the drama is first on Mime
sofa farm and later in the city of Min
neapolis. lilly goes through series
of exciting adventures and turns out
to be an heiress in the end. A strong
company and fine scenic production
have been provided by the manage
ment. Miss Adelaide Harland will play
the name part, and Master George
Falkner one of the best boy actors on
the stage will have prominent part.

THE JOYS OF LIVING.

These be the days when the pleas
ures of existence fairly overwheln
the miseries of life. When the de
lights of domestic felicity smother
the sorrows of infelicity. When con

yawning hole in the fuel account. 'Tis
the winter of content for the man with
loving, Industrious wife.
Cold, frosty weather is the inspir
alton for these remarks. In no other
temperature does the man of marital
ties so largely appreciate his welded
comfort. 'Tis now that marriage
proves not failure.
In the sweltering nights of midsum

the lawn, the roof, or the tent, leaving
his spouse to reduce flesh in the over.

of arctic blessedness he stays at
home, goes to bed early-thereby
saving money-humps his back for
that pure, unselfish, delightful impact
of a pair of dainty icicles, vulgarly
called feet-and flops off to sleep
sometimes.
The chase through the cold rooms
for the baby's bottle, the rush through
the icy halls in bare feet to give as
surance that the front door is safely
locked and barred, the third and last
call to ascertain if the clock is wound
all these are merely of those it'll

man who boasts to his fellows that
he misses not the chilliest morning
in taking a cold water bath.
And it all has ample reward. Think
of the joys of smuggling deep BEL

the fires and prepare breakfast. What

who digs deeper into the warmth and
chuckles over the recollection that
he forgot to split, or bring in, the kind

a joy untold. None other is so sat

Kendall occupied himself alternately
by studying the flying landscape and
the photograph Of his latest inamorata.
She was good looking enough in all

the hour he chose to resent her rich

The Antiquity of the Thimble.

Somebody wrote: ITO the Dutch the
ladies of all nations are indebted fol
the invention of the thimble The
Dutch achieved this great invention
about the Year 1890"
How can this stupid error have arts,
en-: The thimble is probably prehis-
tOric. Thimbles in some form or 9th
er must have been used by the women
who executed the rich embroideries of
the medieval time. The late Pro-
fessor J. E. ThorOld Rogers in his
History Of Agriculture and Prices In
England" mentions, under the year
1894, one dozen thimbles which cost 4
shillings. What Is. however, more to
the purpose, they are frequently allud-
ed to by our old dramatists. Here are
two examples from the greatest of
them.
