A Dummy Soldiers Task,

Walking day and night, without a sim
gle stop, a dummy soldier is taking 10O,-
600 steps every "a hours in an en-
durance test to determine the life of sew
eral new cartridge belts which are under
consideration by the board of ordnance
and fertilization of the army. The dunn
my's tour of duty is at the Rock Island
-(Ill.) arsenal. The dummy is the size Of
an average soldier. By a special mechan-
ical apparatus it is made to walk; with
the guidance of wire cable, as though
on sentinel duty, in circle in one end
of a hall. The mechanism Is such as
to give the dummy the same motion as
would be experienced by the average
soldier in walking. About the waist of
one at time, which are being tested
Each is filled with the regulation num-
Der of rounds of service cartridges, the
principal test being made with the sharp
nose bullet, to determine how long it will
take for these to wear through the pock-
cts of the belts.

fiOUCE

Although of late years the building

eminent as the residence of the Pres
ident of the United States has been
dignitied as the executive mansion. 1t
Is much better known as the White
House from one end OF the country

for new country like ours, and with
in its walls the drama of life has been
enacted as in millions of other homes
IN the land.
1t had been built, however, nearly
half a century before President
brought his bride home there. John
Tyler, the 10th President OF the Unit
ed States, was the first who brought q
bride TO the White House. He had
been married in 1918, and brought his
vile with him TO the Presidential
mansion. when, In April, 1871, he suc-
ceeded President Harrison but she
siekened and died ut the White House,
and in 1874 he brought Miss Julia Gar
diner, OF New York, as his bride. He
nau married ner at her home on sta
ten Island. New York.
President Cleveland was the only
President that was married at the
White House. The I'd of June, 1856,
he was married there TO Miss Fran
ces Folsom, of Buffalo, N Y.

Old Commodore Vanderbilt was always
very democratic in spirit. Sitting on
the porch of fashionable hotel at a
fashionable resort on one occasion, It
is related that the commodore saw a
lady approaching with whom he was &C

recognized her could scarcely contain
their anger when he arose and politely
addressed her.

name Of religion, have only SO much
religion as they may by force or By ac-
cident express in the morality they eff
feet to despise a mans religious pro-
fessions are no guide to his moral
character, but his moral practice is a
safe guide to his religious sincerity.
Is there any difference between the
realities of religion and morality? Can
one be religious without moral living?
Can one be moral without the religious
spirit? What is religion but the in
spiration Of morality and morality but
the vitalizing expression of religion2
Morality is the art of the right con-
duct of life, especially in relation 70
ones fellow beings. The moral man
sees before, him standards and ideals
OF living, personal and social; his
sense Of duty is the obligation to do
certain things and to avoid others be-
cause these are for the good or the I'll
OF that ideal of personal rightness
and social good which he cherishes.
Religion is the life of ideals, the life
OF goodness and truth and service be-
cause these seem to be the supremely
desirable aims In life. 1t is the life
that cherishes the great thoughts Of
the past, the high vision Of character
and civilization that men have dream
ed, the spiritual heritage OF the ages !;
1t is the life that counts all things but
dross that it may win character and
social completeness.
When the man who avows the moral
aim says that he has no use for relig-
ion he is probably thinking of its form
and its furniture. He seeks the right
life and he cannot see that songs and
ceremonies, from which time and
changing conditions often have taken
all deep significance, have any value or
helpfulness to him.
Often the difficulty comes, however,
because we who seek the moral ends,
the high aims Of character and service,
fall to see how deep is our need of the
inspiration and light that religion can
give. No man can live for great pur-
poses unless he cherishes high ideals
unless he comes to some sense Of the
world Of spiritual values.
In the fight for the full and free life
we need to know that we do not fight
alone, that we are but part of great
and glorious army that has been strug-
Cling up through all the ages past. We
need to catch the vision Of the glori-
GUS army Of martyrs and to feel the
glow of strength that comes from touch
with the great souls of every age.
We may read any kind of meaning
we will into the words by which we
attempt to describe the infinite. being.
God may be definite person or only
an influence or an ideal. But our NOR
atty needs the dynamic of that ideal,
the sense of the great spirit of truth
that works through us all to the reali-
cation Of our best thoughts and hopes
for all.
Let man honestly follow his moral
ideals; let him pay the price they win
demand Of him; let him invest himself
In their achievement, and he will not
need to worry about religion; he win
come to a sense of the spiritual values
of his service; he will find himself
part of the great company of those who
have lived for the kingdom of the
good; he will know the power that
