MANY REASONS ASSIGNED
Some Appointees Fail in Examina'

BILL TO REMEDY CONDITIONS
Proposed to Appoint Successors at
the End of Cadets Third Year.
Preparatory School Advocated.

Herald
More cadets are needed at West Point,
and Col. Scott, superintendent of that in
stitution, was here last week comforting
with the Secretary of War and the COM
mittees of Congress concerning the best
way to get them. There does seem
to be any difficulty in getting enough ca
diets at the Naval Academy, and today
nearly nine hundred are under instruction
there-twice the number at West Point.
The examinations for admission to the
Military Academy have just been held.
and the result is a great disappointment.
Every senator and rep. sentative In Con-
gress is authorized to designate oandi-
date, and the President designates twenty.
who must be sons of army or navy officers.
This year sixteen or seventeen members
did not designate any one, for reasons
unknown, and that seems very strange,
because the pc. quisites and the patron
age of congressman are now very limited
and appointments to the Military Acad-
envy are usually considered high prizes.
Nearly five hundred young men were
designated and their names ere sent to
Inc Sec. etary of War, who furnished
Them with printed circulars of information
and instruction and notIled them where to
dppea. for examination: but more than one
nundred faled to report, and none OF
them sent excuses. However, that Is usu.
ally the case asst year, out OF total
of 49, candidates designated. 1l6 failed
20 report and made no explanation. Some
of them are doubtless frightened by the
severity of the examlnallons. which is IN
ulcated in the instructions sent them from
the War Department; others may have
peen persuaded by nervous mothers not to
take up a military career; others, afte.
looking into the circumstances. may have
decided that they prefer other careers.
You can imagine several motives Tor
staying out of the a. my.

ncow eirlsn From Texas.

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 1.-Two lad
les, dressed in striking costumes, rode
ponies into the city Wednesday and
registered at the Gladstone. They
were Mrs. Burgess and daughter, Miss
Beryl They came from ranch about
sixty miles from San Antonio, Texas.
They were dressed in picturesque
frontier costumes, red shirts COW boy
hats khaki skirts divided for oonven-
fence in riding. They claim to have
left San Antonio the middle of Febru-
airy last and to have spent the entire
summer on the trip. They are going
to western Montana where they expect
to spend the winter on a ranch They
are taking their own time and making
about thirty miles a day. The ladies
claim to have had on the whole,
pleasant trip, and met many nice peo-
pie. They have almost forgotten all
the towns they have stopped in, the
number being so many, Each of the
visitors carried a riding whip, a re-
volver strapped in front of their belt
and wore spurs. They said the pom
les need resting and they might spend
a day or two here.

tipped over the eyes and blind the
individual to personal faults. Then
there are those who take too much
pride in the halo they wear that they
spend too much time in polishing it
UP. 1t units them for human COM
partnership. So If you have been con-
templating donning one of the latest
pattern, just think again.
The person who argues against your
pet hat or method of arranging your
hair and brings all sorts of pressure
to bear to make you change what YOU
really like and when, to have peace
you give in, only to have them assume
a look of martyrdom because YOU are
not really convinced is one of life's
problems
The person who will give up to you
In some small matter with a "see how
self sacrificing l am" air is a trial to
the spirit as well as to the flesh. You
would rather have a good downright
denial than such an act of self-immo
lation.
The truth of the matter is that when
you feel SO good and superior you
are probably not really as good as
you SEEM you are playing to the
grandstand whether it be your inner
self or your helpless family. You love
the halo which is pressing on your
brow and you sacrifice the happiness
Of those about you, so that you may
adjust it frequently to suit the ex-
egiences of the occasion.
There is really very little real
martyrdom in these days. If you
make self sacrifices it is usually be-
cause you take pleasure in so doing.
1t is not that you must do it, but that
you like to make those about YOU
happy. If you do this in the right
spirit you have a glow at the heart
that is worth all the effort you have
made. Why then spoil the gift of your
self by the martyrs air
If you are forced to give in on any
point, even though it be against your
WILL do it cheerfully and without an
air of protest. If you have acquiesced,
then you have, in manner, either
sanctioned it or given it your approval
or you have been weak. In either
case you are not a saint, but a sinner.
so doff the crown of glory and sit in
humiliation for yourself
Be strong in matters which require
strength and then stop making noun
tains out of molehills. The household
martyr has her roll of victims. She
has driven men to drink and children
far from home. She has so many sins
to repent of that there is no time for
furnishing her halo if she be honest
with herself-but few of US are that!

FUR TRIMMED WELLS.
The Latest Freak in Fashion for the
Coming Season in London.

ne Latest FREAK IN faSnion Tor the
Coming Season in London.
London, Oct. THE fur trimmed
veil is the latest freak Of fashion for
the coming season. 1t has just made
its appearance in London and appar-
emily is going to meet with favor.
If the veil is brown it is bordered
with sealskin, just narrow edge of
it is used; if it is white, ermine is
used. For gray wells, squirrel is the
trimming, while wells which have no
fur corresponding in color are edged
with some kind which makes a strik-
ing and effective contrast.
Fur lined motor wells are also COM
ing into favor Squirrel lock is usually
seized for these, as they are merely
lined for warmth and not for orna-
ment. There is no fur where the veil
covers the hat, but square is laid
inside the crepe de chine. When the
veil is drawn around the head and tied
under the chin it covers the back of
the head and ears and protects each
side Of the face from draught.
The weird disfiguring patterns of
large leaves, insects. chandeliers and
aeroplanes, which were seen in the
spring wells have quite disappeared
They were too damaging to the ap-
pearance to suit the Englishwoman,
who prides herself on her complexion,
so now only fine meshes with festoons,
squares and circles are worn.
The long wide veil has replaced the
tight little veil the London woman
drew over her face a year ago. Now
flowing ends are to be seen, especially
