Proner Love for Wife.

when a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his incest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.
He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother, the polite
ness he shows other women and the
responsibility he feels toward his Sis
ter.
ITO all of that he should add the
great love he should feel for wife.

CAREER OF BABE" CLARKE.

In the year 1880 there reported at
the United States Military Academy as
a candidate for admission Louisiana
boy, who was just II years old, but
who looked to be three years younger.
His name was Powhatan H. Clarke. No
cadet is admitted to the academy who
has not rounded out II years of life.
Clarke was called Babe" by his
classmates because he was the young
est among them. The Oldest member
of the class is dubbed Dad" This
has been the custom of the class from
time immemorial and the saddling OF
the word of infancy upon the cadet i'm
plies nothing of weakness of body or
of character.
One day at Sunday morning inspec-
ton the tactical officer told Babe"
that he must shave and the boy
blushed like a holly berry. There was
fun in camp that day, for with the ad'
vent of the razor into his kit Babe
had passed from childhood.
There was a cadet at the academy
who had some grievance against
Babe" It must have been imaginary
for the Louisiana boy was in demeanor
peace and good nature to all the
world. Clarke was challenged to
fight; the challenger outweighed him
20 pounds, but the boy refused to let
one of his classmates take the burden
of battle on himself and he fought the
heavier cadet and thrashed him beau
tifully.
Young Clarke proved his pluck on
that day. Later he gave an exhibition
of heroism. He was southerner, with
southerner's prejudice against the
negroes. but upon graduation from the
academy in 1884 he went into black
regiment, the Tenth cavalry. He was
lust q years of age, the youngest sec
ond lieutenant in the army Of the Unit
ed States He was ordered to Arizona
and before he had been at his post a
month he was sent into the field
against hostile Apaches. With squad
of men he was directed by his troop
