BENEFIT OF HOME TRAINING
Probability That Father improved"
on Anything Willie Had Heard
on the Street.

When Willie's father came home to
supper there was a vacant chair at the
table.
well, where's the boy?"
(, William is upstirs in bed" The
answer came with painful precision
from the sad-faced mother.
why, wh-what's up? Not sick, is
he?" Gan anxious pause.)
ut grieves me to say, Robert, that
our son-your son-has been heard
swearing on the street! I heard him."
Swearing? Scott! I'll teach him
to swear" And he started upstairs
in the dark. Halfway UP he stumbled
and came down with Ills chin on the
top step.
When the atmosphere cleared a lit
tie Willie's mother was saying sweet
ly from the hallway: THAT will do,
dear. You have given him enough for
one lesson."-Judge.

d example of heroism that was sufficient to keep every
omcer to the stern line of his duty. Brooke had been
wounded. AS one of his aides said: His whole face was
shot away" But the general refused even first aid to
the injured and remained at his post Of command inspir-
ing and directing.
Major Gilmore, because of his comparatively inferior
rank was put one small unit in a whole force of fighting
UNITS up TO the time that need and opportunity came
hand IN hand across the red field. Major Gilmore met
them. The confederates were assailing the whole front
Oh the Union line at Salem Heights. This was on one
part of the field of Charlottesville, where the southern
soldiers greatly ~outnumbered the northern foe. 1t was
IN a sense an isolated fight. The confederate attack
was at its fercest on, the left flank, which was held by
a New York regiment, the One hundred and twenty-frst,
composed in the main part of recruits. The green ones
held their own for a time, but finally were sent back
hurting by the dash and the weight of the enemy.
There was danger that the confederates would turn
the flank of the northerners, get a position which prac-
tcally meant the humiliation of the Union force and
would make of that day something more than a mere
day OF victory.
1t came the turn Of the Sixteenth New York to go to
the attack and to the rescue. The officers of Gilmore's
regiment thought that they had estimated properly the
numerical strength Of the enemy. So they had of that
part of the enemy which they had seen, but a road run
ming between two low hills held a force of confederates
of which the northerners had taken no account, and
from the road the southerners sprang, REINFORCED their
brethren already In action and attacked, fresh as they
were, with an absolute fury.
Gilmore's regiment began to waver. The men had
not expected to go against anything like odds so ter
rife. The sight Of three men to one bearing down upon
them in addition to the force with which they were actu-
ally engaged was enough to make the retreat of the
troops more than semiexcusable.
Gilmore, the major in command of one Of the batal-
lions, turned things over to his ranking captain and
went down the line toward the colors, getting q terrific
cross fire all the way. Somehow he escaped the bullets.
The color sergeant was standing to his duties and to
his flag, but one of the little rules In army regulations
makes 1t incumbent upon a commissioned officer to
expose himself to danger at a critical moment for the
purpose of rallying and inspiring his men.
Gilmore was a marked man among his soldiers. They
liked him and they knew his mettle. He took the col.
ors from the hand of the sergeant and with the mon
com" at his side he advanced in front of the regiment,

? YOU HAVE an incredible story and are seeking for a
gullible one upon whom to unburden it, don't tell it to
a marine of the order of Gen. George F. Elliott, of the
marine corps of the United States. Gen. Elliott knows a
hawk from a ~handsaw, and also the main brace of the
jibboom. He is a man of seasons and service, a fighter,
a soldier and sailor in one.
When the first battalion of marines landed in Cuba
Elliott was a captain. He was given command of a
detachment, a small detachment, with so Cubans as an
auxiliary, and then he was told to march overland from
Guantanamo bay camp to destroy some stores of the
enemy at Cuzco. In the light of future events it would
appear that the officer issuing the orders should have
made some sort Of an attempt to find out what Elliotts
little band was to meet on the way to carrying out its
errand. No soldier, sailor or marine, however, questions
orders when they are given to him. Capt. Elliott and his
men started out.
The detachment had gone about far enough in thu
bay to be out of range of ready relief when it was me
