Duriai Of CavaIrymsn.

There are few assertions from the
Army just before Christmas. aud the
company commander Is almost As sure
Of holding his men through the holi-
days As the Sunday school teacher is
Of having an overlooking class until
the bespangled. csndlslit tree has
been pruned Of its gifts.
A recruiting sergeant Is responsible
for the statement concerning Christ
mas and assertions.
Aren't men apt to desert their gar
risons at this time to get TO their
homes for the holidays" he was
asked.
NO." replied the sergeant. whose
many service stripes. several Of which
had the white edging to indicate actual
field service In the islands. indicated
that he might be relied upon as AN au-
,hority. Then he reasoned 1t out this
way:
You see the man who has got q
home that's fit to 60 to on Christmas
or any other time wouldn't have the
nerve to 60 to 1t as = deserter. be
cause his folks would be respectable
and they wouldn't have any use for
man who had run away from the army.
Then again the man who has \ sort
vt hankering to get to his own home
must have a streak of decency in him
that wouldn't let him desert.
And the fellows who just take the
holidays as a time for lot to eat
wouldn't desert now. for you can't beat

and baking mince uies. We're great
eaters in the army oc Christmas. 1t

We did miss one Christmas dinner

was about 1890. when We had fight
with the Sioux on Wounded Knee

but two or three days later. although
for a week We had been expecting 1t.
That was In the Bad Lands. and our
New Years day We spent in digging
enough graves in the frozen ground
for 20 of the cavalry who had been
killed.
That wasn't q fair fight. 1t was
treachery after surrender. We had
captured about $50 bucks, and were
disarminx them. There we're nearly

STATE OF. WASHINGTON
Has Fine School Fund and Leads All
Other States-Figures Are
Very Interesting.

Spokane, Wash, Get Eight mil
lion dollars will be expended for the
education of children in public schools
in the state of Washington during the
present scholastic year. This is $50
per capita, based on the average daily
attendance of more than 1000, and
is the highest appropriation of any
state in the union. Fifty-one dollars
per capita, or s7,200,000, was expend-
s ed in 1907-0S, as against $5,649,S56, at
the rate of $42 a pupil, the previous
year. Spokane headed the list in the
United States on its investments in
school property, the amount allowed
for interest being $1.56 per capita, and
s it is second with $3.50 for maintaining
schools.
There We're .247,997 children of
school age in the state, according to
the census taken last July, a gain of
10000 over the previous year, and
of these i25, 704 were boys and 1928
girls; enrolled were 1924 pupils,
10O.S64 boys and 1880 girls. The
average daily attendance was 143, 275,

1873 between the ages of eight and
fifteen years and 25,SS1 under six
years not attending any school.
The state had 1850 school houses in
July and these with sites, libraries
and other property, were valued at |
Sic, 500. 900, as against 81, 4SS,292 the
year before Two hundred and eighty |
buildings were erected during the
year, and the various districts employ
ed 5000 regular and 294 extra teach /
ers. The average salary was S75.65 I

while the average was $3.50 for s.
142 women teachers.
The school fund in Washington is
raised under what is known as "the

obtains its share, based on the aggre-
gate days attendance in proportion to
thateof the entire state. For this pur-
