 It is surprising to observe how quickly the most unpromising characters grasp the idea of proper department on board a man -of-war. Lads who previously had loafed out their days on street corners soon become as alert to a command as jack -in-a-box when the lid is sprung Boys who were developing all the traits of thuggishness learn their place and the respect due to authority almost as soon as they step on board ship.
 Many of these boys remain in the serv- ice beyond the period of their first en- listment and come to be among the most efficient of Uncle Sans sea fighters while others obtain valuable training and accumulate some small savings that give them a good start in the outside world.

In Memory Of Chas. T. Strain.

The members of Eldred Post No. TIA, Grand
Army of the Republic are again called upon
to wait before the altar of sorrow. Another
of our beloved Comrades has answered to the
final roll call and no longer graces our ranks
Comrade Charles T. Strain was born in the
stare OF Indiana in the year 1916 and died at
King Kansas, July %, 1908. He served his
country one hundred days in Company B, 1877
Indiana Infantry and was noble soldier, a
patriotic citizen and generous-hearted man.
He became member of Eldred Post July Is,
1898 and was dutiful. devoted mem Der,
highly esteemed by his Comrades.
May we, his surviving Comrades, hearken
unto the silent voice that seemeth to speak
from out of the tomb-Inay we ever cherish a
fonc remembrance of him who has been so sud.
denly taken from among US while engaged in
the performance of his daily task, and NAV
we thus again be reminded of the uncertainty
of life and the certainty of death, and as the
years bear down on our rapidly depicting
ranks. let US resolve that our brotherlv ties
may be strengthened, our fellowship made
lmpenetrable and our responsibilities to the
Great Commander properly appreciated.
1t is the sense of Eldied Post that the Char
ter be draped in memory of our deceased
Comrade for period of thirty days.

literature is extraordinarily inter
esting this year and it is made to
suit all the different sections of the
country. In the east the writer's

can platform means just what it

the west and south they tell the
people that the platform falls far
short of stating the party's de-
mands.
