When drill was about half over two
religious soldiers sneaked out of
the ranks TO go to choir practice Tues
day.
Word was received by Capt. Fuller
saying that the South Dakota Nation

The men were drilled on the school

day. This will probably hereafter be
our stamping ground on drill nights.
Another weak spot in the militia's
makeup is coming to"order arms''t to

practice.
When orders were issued for drill

to come up unless they can be half an

We find it hard to SER p up news
enough to make this column worth
reading, and we would appreciate
very much all items thai may be told
Is by members of the company.
1t seemed to some of the men that
they had marched at least SO miles
during the two hours drill. While
marching in company lineup the front
rank men were busy kicking tin cans
and ash piles out Of the way, but it
was the best drill yet.
Interested men are trying to enlist q
squad or two at Revillo, but nothing

1t. Ii they succeed it would be a

We would like to see q militia base

baseball material in the company that
could skin up most teams in this vi

In regard to the monthly publica-

we would say to thoSe that are Turn

1t, that 1t will be issued to the men
regularly. The subscription price Is

as they utterly disregarded if This

There was a large attendance Tues

out on the street. After marching

Irrigation VS.. Frost.

The discussion of the efficacy of
taIpots In the orchards during the
month following the development OF
fruit buds and during which time
frost may yet come to nip the fruit,
has elicted a statement fIom lady
orchardi list In the vicinity of this city
concerning her experiment with water
and its results two years ago, when q
good many fiuit buds suffered from
late visit or two by Jack Frost,
says The Yakima Republic. his
w0man had conceived the idea that
water In sufficient quantity in the
orchard might destroy the chance for
the late frosts; so she turned the
water into The irrigGting bitches
coursing through her trees, except q
few ia one corner of the tract, which
could not be conveniently reached
at that time. She kept the bitches
we'll filled at night.
The result was that In that portion
OF the orchard which she could not
irrigate the frost killed the buds. the
trees bearing no fruit last year. That
portion OF the orchard in which the
water flowed at night was wholly unin.
jured by the frost. This convinced hei
that to irrigate the orchard during
the period of damage from frost vii

During the last quarter Of century
there has been the greatest activity in
archaeological research, which received
an extraordinary impetus from DR..
Schliemann's discoveries. Nor has the
interest aroused been confined to ex-
perts. Though the people generally have
paid little attention to methods and de-
tails, they have been glad to learn of
the results and have applauded the
scholarship and the industry that have
brought them about. They have rec
ognized, too, that in addition to schol
arship and industry money was neces-
sary for unraveling the mysteries of
buried cities, but the suggestion that
furnishing the money provides a most
attractive career for rich young men
was reserved for Prof. George N. Oh
colt, of Columbia University. He
grows eloquent over the thought. What,
he asks, have the gayeties Of society,
what has fishing or hunting, golfing or
automObiling, to offer comparable to the
keen excitement of watching and direct
ing hundred workers as they lay bare
an ancient city which human eyes have
not seen in two millenniums? AS for
the opportunities to make important
discoveries, he shows that they still
abound. There are chances upon
chances in Southern Europe, and Asia
Is specially inviting field. Ameri-
cans can work there on the same terms
as Europeans. They will not be at a
disadvantage, as they might be In Eu-
rope, with the competition of the ma
tives; they will have oriental strange
ness to lure them on and the spice of
adventure. Many an ancient Asiatic
city is awaiting the golden touch that
will unlock the door Of hidden wonders,
and would mean that American wealth
might give the means and American
scholarship reap the glory" AS we
read Of the enormous waste of time
and money by young men of wealth, or
become cognizant of it in other ways, It
seems as If such an appeal should have
some effect. There is an opportunity to
promote highly valuable work for all
mankind, to lead useful life, to awak.
en- new interest In life, to share in
the scholars glory. The rich young
men should think 1t over.

Couldn't Light Them on Him.

An old woman from the country
bought three boxes of matches from
her grocer in town. 1t rained when
she was going home, and the matches
became 80 damp that not one Of them
would strike. On the following Satur-
day she took the matches back to the
grocer, and upbraided him for selling
such useless stuff. The grocer took out
one or two, and struck them quite easi-
ly on the leg Of his trousers, for by
this time the matches had become Der
fectly dry. But the old woman did not
think Of this explanation, and ex-
claimed: tut, tut that's not good
enough for me. l can't tramp six
miles to your trousers every time 7
want to strike match. Give me three
boxes Of kind that 1 can light M

"HAMLIN, THE BAKER"

When Cyrus Hamlin was a student
at Bowdoin College he added some
thing to his studies which was not
part of the curriculum, providential
elective, as was proved many years
later when he became president Of Rob-
ert College in Constantinople, and when
the necessity for good bread for the
soldiers Of the Crimea was brought to
his notice. In "Cyrus Hamlin, Mis-
slonary, Statesman, Inventor" the
story is given:
One day at Bowdoln, Professor Smith
delivered lecture on the steam engine
to Hamlln's class, not one Of whom,
perhaps, had ever seen. steam engine.
Those were the days Of the stage-coach
and the OK team.
After the lecture he said to Profes-
sor Smith, II believe 1 could make an
engine"
The professor replied, 81 think you
can make anything you undertake,
Hamlin. and l wish you would try"
He did try, and succeeded. By work
ing twelve and sometimes fifteen hours
each day, he built a steam engine suf-
hciently large to be Of real service as
a part of the philosophical apparatus
Of the college.
During the Crimean War there was
great need of good bread, and not a
steam -four mill In Constantlnople. The
memory Of his steam engine encouraged
President Hamlin to think thatI he
could establish -four mill and bak-
cry, and cast good wheat bread upon
the troubled waters Of that Eastern
war.
He imported steam engine from the
United States, and by the help Of Ure's
"Dictionary Of the Arts" and after la
bors which surpassed the legendary Ia
bors Of Hercules. he was ready to grind
-four.
Might not chemist make good
bread? He had the theory in his head /;

had confined himself to dealing on the
basis OF what there was, he would have
been a success. But he oyercapitalized
himself, and the time came when he
could not earn interest on his capa-
blllties as he estimated them. Then
failure was sure, and he died poor,
broken and alone. One of the secrets
Of success in this world is knowledge
Of ones self. The man who Is aware
Of his own limitations, and keeps with
in them, is always safe, no matter how
narrow they may be. The failures are
mostly Of those men who overcapitalize
themselves. 1t Is as bad to undercapi-
talize ones self, of course, as to 60 to
the other extreme. The man who Is
difiident, who underestimates his own
ability and strength, will not 60 far.
But at least that sort Of man does not
make the crash that follows the fall
Of the overcapitalized person. Learn
to estimate yourself correctly-that is
the lesson a man must master who
seeks success. DISQUALIFICATION is as
dangerous to an individual as 1t is to
corporation.

speaks of the result:
MY bread came out as fiat as pan
cake, and too sour for mortal man to
eat. But the next was better, and the
third was eatable."
He was soon selling bread so sweet,
so palatable. and in loaves so much
above the legal weight that "Hamlin's
Bread" became famous.
One day he was invited to visit the
military hospital at Scutari then filed
with sick and wounded soldiers. The
chief physician said to him, Are you
Hamlin, the baker?"
"No. sir" replied Doctor Hamlin, "I
am the Reverend Mr.. Hamlin, an
American missionary"
''That Is about as correct as any
thing 1 get in this country said Doc
tor Mapleton. 81 send for a baker and
get missionary"
Before the misunderstanding went
farther Doctor Hamlin explained that
he was both missionary and a max

ence was that the English secured
good bread at one-half less than the
price they had been paying for sour
bread, which the soldiers could hardly
