I'D D-WIDE REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF MEN AND WOMEN
TAF1T'S ENGILTSIH BEATS
A DIPLO LOMA1T'S FRENCH

wat do you think hov they Japonalse
and the war;"
With an absurd question a man inter-
rupted one of George Ade's stump
speeches in Elkhart, Ind.
The humorist paused and smiled.
Then he lid:
THAT remark was unexpected-start-
ling. AS unexpected and startling as
salesman on Broadway.
"a lady entered a Broadway curio
shop and ssid:
"'Let me see something handsome
and cheap
Just gaze at me, madam said the
fat salesman"
A brother of Sir Arthur Commodore
Sir Alfred Paget. who is one year his
Junior. is frequently confounded with
him in the American press, probably
through the fact that the elder married
an American wife, and the younger has
passed many years in the United States,
for time as naval attache in Wash
ington. Sir Alfred with the Japanese,
German, French and British army at
taches, was present at the battle of San
Juan in the Spanish American war,
The foreign representatives saw the
engagement from convenient eleva-
ton, and when the Americans rushed
up over the MIL III open order and the
spectators realized that an actual
charge was taking place their enthu-
siasm became unbounded. They fin
gered their side arms, and, as the red
and yellow flag came down on the
blockhouse, broke out in lusty cheer
all but Paget, who stood quite isolated,
| his legs wide apart, and his field glasses
glued to his eyes.
Finally Col. Arthur Lee, the British
army attache, nudged his elbow and
said
"Oh! I say, don't you see the Ameri-
cans have taken the hill? Why don't
you do something?"
Paget deliberately lowered his glasses
and as he snapped them together,
glanced at the German officer pointedly
and drawled out: "Ah! What-er-a
glorious day for the Anglo Saxon race"
The continental officers suddenly be-
came silent. Then the little Japanese
snlGKered S.1 and got behind Lee. who po-
litely lost himself in contemplation OF
! the smoke dimmed Landscape.

Military World

The Scientific American for March IA
publishes quite an article on 1.-The Mill
tary Academy at West Point by
owen Macdonald, accompanying it with
some two pages of excellent illustra-
tions. all descriptive of life and work
at the academy.
"rrhere is no use in Disgusting the
fact" the writer says, that the work
at West Point is hard. The discipline
is Spartan, and the spirit that animates
the whole corps of cadets will permit no
of the rules of conduct which
have been laid down by the tradition
of generations; but the work is in
tensely interesting, and much of it has
all the qualities that make sport ex-
citing. Intelligent youths are glad to
submit themselves to this rigid uisci-
nline. proud of the fact that they have
a share in maintaining the traditions
that ruled the conduct of Grant and
Lee, of Sherman and of 'StonewalP
jackson. They are old enough TO
know that this Spartan rule is neces-
sary to make them good soldiers; that
they can never know how to command
unless they have learned first how TO
obey"
He says further: "There are few
volIng men who would not consider 1t
a hardship to have to handle rapid
fire guns and siege cannon, to build
nontoon bridges, make rafts and to
drill long hours in the hot sun every
day. But cadets look upon these as
part of the education of soldier, and
while they involve hard, grueling work
they are the essentials of an officers
equipment for the responsibilities of
command. and must be met in cheer
ful spirit and as a matter of course.
AS for the regular mess, it is, when
not on the march, quite as good as any
boy gets at home. and in many cases
very much better. The food is abun-
dant. of the best obtainable quality,
we'll cooked and served at the mess
table as gentlemen are accustomed to
having 1t served.
An instructor in the Military Acad-
envy at West Point was once assigned
to conduct about the place the visit
ing parents of a certain cadet.
After tour of the post the proud
and happy parents Joined the crowd
assembled to witness evening parade,
a most imposing spectacle. The march
past aroused the father of the cadet
to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
"There!" he exclaimed, turning to his
spouse. isn't that fine? But" he
added reflectively, II shall not be
happv till by boy attains the proud
position that leads 'em ALL" And he
pointed in rapt admiration to the drum
major.

I've 16ilOU know my brother Bill gets
ia n Ml lot of fun out of life," said
lkSA XMl Henry Taft, when in New
lMyz7Nl York recently. "Whlle I am
g-=sz=@i here trying to convince the
court of appeals that it is
wrong occasionally. Bill is playing
the part of Walking Delegate for
the White Mans Civilization. You
know Charlie tells me that must have
been a radiant occasion in Harbin when
the very formal committee tried to do
the honors in French. They were all
the local dignitaries and they showed
up al the train in full regalia and great
enthusiasm. There were about twelve
of them, mostly princes and generals,
and Immediately on presentation they
began to make a sort OF syndicate adj
dress of welcome in the sort of French
they speak In Siberia. Little Charlie
calls it bull French Brother Bill
smiled-it must have been easy-and
listened, after whispering a summons
for Gen. Clarence Edwards, who was
sort of flying squadron for such an
emergency. When the twelve had
cleared the last barrier and were
pounding in to the wire, Edwards ar
rived.
Tell them, general said Bill, that
I say this Is a wonderful country; that
/ deeply appreciate their presence here
this morning; that on my return to my
own country it will be my first pleasure
to inform my countrymen of the pro-
found courtesy shown to visiting Amer
leans in Siberia. Tell them again that
this is a wonderful country; thank
them up one side and down the other;
tell them anything else you can think
of, but don't say anything about Port
Arthur or the Japs or the war. That
must be a rather sore spot
Edwards spoke eloquently for fif-
teen minutes in beautiful French, with
bows on 10th sid IS after every rhetor-
ical period; then the honorary gray
beard of the party said, addressing
Brother Bill:
'Excellency, We spik by you, for we
onnerstand you very we'll; but we no
onnerstand obese ganllemun. An you
will now please spik wit me. an say

talized in Father Prout's verse and more
recently popularized by William Blacks
novel, have arrived in England from
Cork on their way to a bell foundry,
where they will be remolded. Father
Prout, whose real name was Francis
Mahony, 1t may be recalled. began his
famous poem as follows

And recollection

Those Shandon bells,
Whose sounds so Wild would,
In the days of childhood,
Fling round by cradle
