There comes a time when even pa
thence ceases to be a virtue" was
proverb that used to adorn nearly every
old-fashioned public school copy book,
and the officers of a general court martial
held at Fort Mcpherson August Z, came
to the conclusion that the axiom was
particularly true in the case of Private
William G. Cannon, of Company B, nth
infantry, on trial for absence from the
for night inspection, and being found
drunk in his company quarters.
His offense on this occasion was neither
the first. nor the second. nor the third,
nor-well, to be more. brief, it was the
ninth time he had fallen from grace.
So his superior officers, hitherto long
suffering and kind, decided it was no use
to try any longer, anG sentenced him
ito be dishonorably discharged from the
service of the United states, forfeiting
all pay and allowances due him, to be
confined at hard labor at such place as
reviewing authority may direct, for
three months" The sentence has been
duly approved, and Cannon Is now serv-
ing his sentence at Fort Mcpherson.
