and earn her own living. Now, wouldn't
that jar you? And yet why not? The
young lady recognized the fact that
her husband was not thoughtful, and
lesson at the outset-probably that is
all.
I, has been the fashion here that
when a young man is arrested for mis-
demeanor he may elect whether he
goes TO the reform school or whether
he will enlist in the Army or Navy:
that is. if he is under Jail age, and
subject for the reform school. The
other day the Boys Court Judge SEN
fenced a youth for stealing, and on the
plea of the young man and his attorney
that he would reform and behave him
self If he might enlist in the Navy he
was sent to the naval enlisting sta
ton. Then there was objection, and
it came from high up. Secretary Met
calf doesn't want incorrigibles in the
Navy, and said so. He says:
Every effort is made by the Depart
ment and officers of the Navy to main
tain a high standard of personal in
tegrity among the enlisted personnel,
and aside from personal grounds, life
aboard ship and a close contact it en-
for petty thieving, and it is extremely
undesirable that any such person be
enlisted, who might tend to raise con-
test between the men and have a bad
influence"
Sentiment does not move the Presi-
dent in the least. A Lieutenant in the
Navy, Leroy Brooks, got married few
months ago. and now he has been or
fn tn E'rpn ric
duty aboard the Virginia. Lieut.
Brooks objects to this, and proceeded to
resign from the Navy. But the Presi-
dent axed him no, and now Lieut..
Brooks has to go on West, bride or no
bride. Which is tuff.
That Gen. Frederic Dent Grant is no
tin soldier is shown by the fact that
he was in measure responsible for
the troubles that have come down 10
the Captains. the Majors and the Col
onels, as well as to some of the lower
officers, in the order that they must
learn to ride. His distinguished father,
while not the graceful man on horse
back that Gen. Lee was, was yet a
pretty fair horseman. Gen. Grant had
a contempt for the fellow who could
not ride. And so with his SON. The
second Gen. Grant has grown tired of
seeing men who ought to be graceful
hoTsemen looking like bags of wool
with string tied around them. in the
saddle. And so he recommended that
Army officers be required to learn over
again the lessons Of horseback riding
and forget some of the veranda rock
ing-chair lessons. Hence the order
Then. too. he had something to do
with getting the young officers who had
been doing the society stunt at the
White House out on active duty He
grew tired of seeing his son, y. S.
Grant Ill, growing up into a tin SOL
dier instead of the real thing, and since
that the young officers that have come
around the White House have been
sent into active service. Gen. Grant is
one of the most popular officers in the
Army. He has many of the character
istics of his father, and above all is a
practical man.
Because of "Corpr' Tanners wide
popularity among all men in general,
and among the Grand Army of the Re-
public men in particular, he is con-
sidered a fountain head of wisdom by
many of his admirers. Every mail
brings him letters preferring requests
for information of some kind. One of
the latest was from an old soldier in
a remote country town who asked
will you please tell me what kind OF
whitewash the President is now using
on the White House?" Now, eorp'l
Tanner doesn't know whitewash
brush from a brush broom or white
wash from Portland cement; but the
old soldier got good recipe for white
| wash, just the same.
