DID HE DO WRONG 2
Action of Roosevelt in Rein
stating Cadets Matter
Of Comment.
ARMY OFFICER THINKS so.

New York, Aug. 3.-"The law says
that cadets found guilty of hazing
shall be summarily expelled from the
Military Academy. There was no al
tentative, for the board of officers, af-
ter a careful investigation of the char
ges recently brought against eight
students. but to recommend that they
be dismissed. To inforce discipline in
the face of President Roosevelts &C
ton in reinstating these young men
seems a hopeless task"
An army officer of the highest
standing directly connected with the
Military school at West Point, thus
gave his views. Speculation as to
the final outcome is running high. and
none could be found at West Point
who did not think a serious mistake
had been made.
Not one of the officers at West
Point can afford, they say, to enter
into an open controversary as to
whether or not the president has as
sumed the right or the wrong position.
The law which prevents an army or
navy official from commenting public
ly on official rulings binds them to
silence.

Where He Was Most Needed.

General n. B. Forrest was one of
the fiercest and most determined fight
ers that participated in the war be-
tween the states. In the midst Of one
of his campaigns a captured Federal
chaplain was brought to his headquar-
tiers. The man showed the deepest
anxiety and depression, for the stories
of General Forests severity were rife
in the Union camp. A little later sup
per was announced, and Forrest, to the
chaplain's surprise, invited him to
share it. But his surprise grew to
amazement when the general turned
to him reverently and said:
"Parson, will you please ask the
blessing"
The next morning Forrest courteous
ly gave him an escort through the Con.
federate lines. for he wished no non
combatants for prisoners, and babe
him goodby, with the remark:
"Parson, I would keep you here to
preach for me if you weren't needed
SO much more by the sinners Of the
other side"

The following clipping concerning

a weeks end visit, will prove quite
interesting to the one who is con-
templating a short visit to friend.
AS a rule women take more clothes
than is necessary.
The best bag for the purpose is a
rattan or fiber suit case.
These carry a great deal and do
not tax the strength of a woman.
The best costume to wear on the
trip is a coat-and-skirt one of silk.
This material is more dressy than
cotton or linen and does not soil so
easily.
A hat of medium size is much better
for wear than a small one.
1t may be worn to nearly every occa'
sion, and so saves the trouble of car
rying a hat box.
Practically two dresses are all that
are needed for the visit.
One of these is a dinner gown for
/ Saturday and Sunday night.
| If full dinner dress is not worn, the
frock should be white, or something
| thinner than silk.

No Common Niger.
AS a well known evangelist was pay

the state of Tennessee a lady said to
him:
I'm very glad you've come. 1 was
reading In the Bible the other day
about Moses marrying a niger, and
wish you would explain the matter"
"It doesn't read that way in my
Bible" he replied. 1T reads that
Moses married an Ethiopian woman -
well, doesn't that mean a nigger?"
II will tell you how 1t was. There
was terrible war waged by the ETH
opians against the Egyptians, and two
great armies sent from Egypt against
them had been destroyed. The Ethio-
plans were governed by magnificent
queen, something like Semiramis, who
led out her own armies and knew how
to gain victory. But when Moses
was sent with third Egyptian army
against her he asked help Of God and
managed SO wisely that the queen
agreed to surrender all her forces to
him and become tributary to Egypt
provided he would marry her"
