General Kitchener's reasons for the
maintenance of an efficient navy, and
for an adequate military force, are
those of a statesman. The surest safe
guard of peace is readiness, and lit
always pays to keep your powder
dry" A nation of rich pumpkins, help
lessly dependent on the goodwill of
other nations, is their quarry. The RI
valry of nations is pitiless. and the
strong take from the weak. Numbers
of population do not count without the
prepared to fight, if necessary.
The time may come in the future when
the lion and the lamb will lie down
together, but the nation that anticipates
that time by disarmament or neglect to
keep its powder dry win be sadly left.

Virginia, James Raymond, 10 years
old. knelt in a hall bedroom in Bath
Beach. For three days he had re-
mained there. There was no medicine
no money, no food. At times 1t was
SO cold he wrapped his wife in his
threadbare overcoat to keep her
warm.
For so years this man and woman
she two years his junior-had been to-
gether. On Christmas day he wanted
to go In search of work, but she
begged him to remain. She knew that
1t was her last Christmas. All day and
all night he held her in his arms while
the fever took her back to earlier holi-
days when there was plenty at their
command. For three days he held her.
AT few minutes past three o'clock
In the morning she died, but the hus-
band did not know that He had
slipped from the chair to his knees and
was praying. Thus he remained until
seven o'clock before he realized that
his wife's life had fed.
Then his brave old spirit broke. He
did not wish to tell his landlady the
ruth, though she had permitted him
to remain in the room after his money
had gone. He tottered to the Bath
Beach police station and begged Lieut..
Kennedy to help him. The lieutenant
sent for physician. who took Ray
mond home and got another room for
him in the house before informing the
coroner.
When wagon from the morgue
backed up to the house to take the
body away the aged man left his bed.
AS the body was borne out he followed
to the sidewalk, begging piteously to
be taken along. He borrowed five
cents from Mrs. Bates, the landlady.
and went to the morgue to remain at
the side of his wife.
He refused to leave the place until
the morgue keeper told him they
would hold the body for three days
in order that he might get money with
which to bury his wife instead of see
ing her go to the Potters' Field.
Raymond at one time was a con-
tractor and made much money through
large building operations on the lower
