THE GAME OF LIFE.

TIE GAME OF LIFE.
The pains of life are its pleasures
The bitterness of life is its sweet
ness.
"What?" you say You are writing
a contradiction. You are stating a
paradox"
Well. let me get in deeper yet by
stating that life itself, real life, is a
paradox.
Let me illustrate.
The baseball fan" sits on the bleach
ers and watches the game, criticises or
applauds as in his opinion the occasion
demands. But do you believe he has
half the fun or knows a 1.-THE of the
pleasure that comes to the players who
Strain and strive and. lose or win, get
odt of the game all there is in it?
No,
Because down there in the dust Of the
diamond pain of effort is necessary to
the joy OF strife. bitterness of hard en-
durance is part and parcel of the sweet
ness of satisfaction.
Is it not so?
! What for instance, does your leisured
chapple who sits on padded seats and
| views through his golden feldglasses
know of the thrill of life and strife and
victory that comes to the sweaty Jockey
who rides the running horse?
There is your paradox.
| We are so made that what we get
without effort or suffering or sacrifice
| is scarcely worth the while. On the
other hand, our greatest JOY comes with
the battle hardest won. our sweetest
pleasures are wrung from bitteresf
pain.
1t is the law of compensation.
Our world is full of people who try
for the box seats or the front row, who
sit on the bleachers instead of going
into the field and get no joy of life.
The prizes are for winners.
Luxury and a front seat mean that
you lose the best part of life.
Always and everywhere have men
and women tried to get their pleasures
without the pains of winning. the
sweetness of satisfaction without the
bitterness Of conflict, in vain.
Get into the game.
Oh, it is Il game worth the candle, my
friend! There are houses to be built
and bitches to be dug. and lawsuits t
be won, and farms to be made, and ed
itorias to be written, and errors to b.
fought. and lives to be redeemed. ant
women to be shielded, and children t.
be saved. and hardships to be suffered
and bitterness to be drunk, and
Victories to be won.

WHAT ENSIGN
AUSTIN MISSED
BY MARRYING

According to the following from
the Washington Star, Ensign Austin
lost not only the number of his mess
in the Navy, but considerable mark
of distinction for which he had been
billeted in the service, when he mar
ried the girl of his sudden choice in
Honolulu without permission of the
Department:
Ensign George J. Lake of the navy
has been detached from the u s. 5.
Dolphin at the Washington navy
yard and ordered to proceed at once
to Toxic for duty as attache st the
United States embassy at the Japa-
nese capital. Another officer of the
Dolphin, Ensign Fred F.. Rogers, was
previously assigned to similar duty.
These two young men are under in
structions to make a study of the
Japanese language and institutions
and will remain in Japan for severn:
years.
Ensign Lake was substituted for
Ensign Charles M. Austin, also of the
Dolphin, whose orders to proceed to
Toxic were revoked because he gov
married while on his way to Japan.
It was held at the department that a
young man on his honeymoon could
hardly be expected to devote the
time and attention necessary to the
execution of the special duties allot-
ted to the attaches at the Toxic en-
bassy."

ETNA'S OUTFLOW
IS PRODIGIOUS

NICOLOSI, March 26.-Paolo vi
nassa de Regny, professor of geology
at the University of Catania, who to-
gether with Pro. Ricco, director of
the observatory on Mount Etna, had
narrow escape from death when
caught in a storm of cinder yester-
day, said:
81 believe that the present eruption
has few presidents. That of 1892 pro-
duced in five months 4O,O0O,0O0
square yards of volcanic matter
while in the past three days the flow
has exceeded 100000 square yards,
do not anticipate that the velocity
soon, as it is not coming down in a
of the lavatic streams will diminish
single mass, but in several rivers.
"Borrello is not in immediate dan
ger, as the flow in that direction has
ceased 1t is possible that the lava
may yet pour into Licolosi, but the
caprices of the phenomenon are such
as not to admit of assured prophecy.
The present disturbance evidently is
connected with the ferment of the
earth which began with the earth
quake of 1908.

REVISED TEST ORDER.
Tentative Changes Made in Army
Riding Requirements.

The officers of the general stan
have made a tentative revision of the
order relating to the annual physical
tests of the officers of the army. The
requirements of the order are being
put to a practical test by officers on
duty at the Army War College, Wash
ington Barracks and at Fort Myer.
The results will be reported to the
chief of staff by April 10 for con-
sideration before the issuance of the
revised order.
Under the proposed plan the pres
cribed exercise is divided into two
forms. One requires a daily ride of
six miles by mounted officers, and the
other requires officers, not mounted,
to make three miles a day by march
ing at quick or double time at regu-
lated rates. These requirements may
have to be modified to meet climatic
or other conditions at certain stations
during seasons of the year when it
may be impracticable to perform the
riding test The tests now in pro-
gress are for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what exercise may be pres
cribed as entirely reasonable, with
proper regard for the purpose of the
order.
