But again the girls voice was interrupted by the
icy tones of the literature teacher who uttered the
one word: "Silence!" She had however the grace
to drop her eyes before the big brown ones which
buke in their clear, liquid depths that her own cold
steely ones forced to shrink before that gaze
The girl turned from the teachers desk and, walk

She went through life finding it we'll worth living

PUTS IT UP TO THE ARMY
GEN. WOODS DECISION REGARD.
ING PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff
OF the army. has put the whole question
OF physical exercise up to the army itself.
Commandments of posts and commanders
of departments will be the Judges of
what is necessary for officers to keep
them in condition for war duty at all
times.
The annual riding test remain the same.
but In general order prepared today all
definite provisions for PHYSICAL exercise
for officers and men are set aside. and
the whole question which has been the
source OF SO much discussion in army
circles is put up to the discretion of the
army itself.
Under the new plan it is expected that
the exercise best adapted to each man
will be followed. Ojcers who are over
weight Will be expected to reduce and
those VINO are under the normal will be
expected to increase
The test will be adapted to the climates
under which it is conducted All general
of1cers are excused from the annual test
ana the physical examination. Depart
ment commanders will be required to con-
duct at least one riding test, but not as
participants. The chief of staff will con-
duct the riding test for officers stationed
in Washington.
Officers of the coast artillery may take
the annual test either by riding or walk
ing. one important change in the condi-
tons provides that officers shall take the
riding test at their home posts as far as
practlcabie and use their own mounts.

Society Plying the Needle.
rom the Lady's Pictorial.

From the Ladys Pictorial
Those who are quick to observe changes
in the moods and tastes OF society will
tell you that the doing of fine needlework
is growing into great favor with even the
most fashionable OF our mondaines, whose
own fingers are producing work that is
fully equal TO the best specimens OF their
much-lauded~ and, perhaps. overloaded
grandmotbers. lady who has had the
honor TO be the instructress Of royalty
in this craft says that hundreds come to
her for counsel, where tens came but a
few years ago. The cause of this re-
version to the pursuits of more placid
age Is not difficult to discover. Such an
occupation becomes virtually rest
cure" in this epoch of rush and motor
cars. and that is why many of those
who have been the most indefatigable
seekers after novelty and excitement are
now among the most Industrious Pene-
lopes of society. The rhythmic movement
that accompanies the plying of the needle
is peculiarly soothing to.the nerves, and
produces much the same effect as the
prayers OF the orientais. with their sway
ings to and fro and their apparently vain
repetitions. 1t Is a mistake to suppose
that needlework is injurious to the eye
sight. Old needle women rarely wear
classes.

GET A JOLT sqAc{ HIGH AND DRY
SUMMER RESIDENTS DRIVE
AROUND STRANDED SHIP.

BARNSTABLE, Mass. July 3o.-The
naval hospital ship Solace ran so far
up on the Yarmouth bar yesterday in
seeking other vessels of the North At
lantic squadron at anchor in Cape Cod
bay that at low tide this forenoon sum-
mer residents amused themselves by
driving round the stranded vessel. The
accident occurred during a dense fog.
The position of the Solace, while an
easy one in soft sand, makes it difficult
for large salving vessels to approach. and
1t may be some time before she is again
af1oat.
Only northeaster of great violence can
harm her
Three battleshps were hanging round
OF shore this forenoon. having made an
inefectual effort to float the Solace on
the early morning tide.
Ihe Soiace was the storm center in the
navy Few years ago, when she was
placed under command of a medical Of
flcer. Officers of the line bitterly opposed
this course, and declared surgeon knew
nothing about commanding a ship.
While the Solace is commanded by a
surgeon, DR.. George Pickrell, she is ac-
tually navigated by William c. Fincke, a
civilian master, drawn from the auxiliary
service, and DR.. Pickrell takes no part in
sailing her. No official report has been
received at the Navy Department.

CASES OF TWO MARINE
CORPS OFFICERS PENDING
Col. Denny May Go Before Retiring
Board-Request Of Col. Prince
to Be Taken Up.

When Assistant Secretary Winthrop re-
sumes his official duties I'm this city next
week he will take up for decision the
cases of Col. f. NJ. Denny, quartermaster,
and Lieut.. Col. Thomas c. Prince Of the
United States Marine Corps. Col. Denny
has not complied with the requirements
of the physical test order. The surgeons.
at preliminary physical examination
prior to the annual ride. reported against
his compliance with the order. On that
account it is reported that he will be or
dered to examination by a retiring board
before his departure for his new post at
San Francisco. He expected to leave
here Monday. but his plans may be
changed.
Col. Prince was recently ordered from
the marine headquarters to duty as first
brigade quartermaster. U. s. NJ c., at
Manila, p. 1. Since then he applied for
retirement under the thirty years service
law. Usually requests for retirement
after thirty years service are approved,
but when an officer is under orders excep-
lions have been made. The question
arises whether the President and acting
secretary will insist upon Col. Princes
serving in the Philippines before he re-
tires.
Col Prince is native of (0lo. He was
appointed to the Naval Acauemy in 1873,
being graduated in 1882. He was ap.
pointed a second lieutenant in the Ma
rine Corps in July, 1884.

Amazed by Confession of Per-
cy Lee, CoIored Burglar.
TRIAL WITH BRAVADO
Not Dismayed at Prospect of Long
Prison Sentence.

Percy Lee, alias Robert Jones, the
negro youth whose confessions to rob-
berries among the fashionable homes of
the northwest section shortly after his
arrest yesterday morning at the third
precinct station gave the crook experts
in the police department one of the Sc
verest jolts they have had for some
time, entered pleas of guilty to two
charges of HOUSEKEEPING in the Police
Court this morning and was committed
to Jail for the grand jury in default OF
$1,000 bond.
The charges aliege that Jones entered
the homes of Richard f. Parker of 1898
Rhode Island avenue and Frank D. Rice
Of 1910 street July % and July Is, 1e-
spectively.
Loot Was Not Large.
A bunch of keys. nail clipper and
35 cents in cash, to the total value OF
81 90. were taken from the Parker nome,
and a kodak valued at $50 from the
second residence In all. the prisoner
confessed to SUFFICIENT depredations TO

breaking against him ana one case sers Oh
up by the grand jury when the cases
on which the prisoner was committed
today are placed before it. The police
believe he knows more about other re-
cent robberies in the locality where ne
operated than he cares to admit.
How do you like breaking into houses?
the prisoner was asked
.Oh. all right. It's an easy way to
get spending money" he replied, with the
same braggart air that marked his inter
view with the police yesterday. But
it amt SO pleasant to get caught, ne
added with grin.
You're about due to, six or seven years

Not Worried by Prospects.
Guess 1 can stand that, too. The
trouble is talk too much" he said.
It Is hardly possible an effort will be
made to secure the prisoners release on
bond. Among the witnesses are Detec-
tive Embrey and Policeman stringfellow
of the third precinct who arrested Jones,
and later Obtained his confession.
During the investigation of the police
today concerning several CT the robberies

A Rainbow After Sunset.
From the London Evening STANDARD.

From the London Evening standard.
One of the most remarkable and unu-
sual aspects Of the sharp storm OF yester-
day evening was the development Of a
brilliant rainbow after sunset. The phe-
nomenon was visible over the greater
part Of mid-Surrey and as the storm was
coming from the east developed when the
first drops Of rain fell shortly before sun
set at 1877 pm. The rainbow gradually
faded away at its lower edges, but about
half of its arc was still visible At 7:42
pm. five minutes after the sun had
dropped below the horizon.
