FAILS TO PASS EXAM.
Lieut.. Calvin P. Titus Unable to Sc
cure Chaplaincy.

Second Lieut. Calvin p. Titus, 14th
United States Infantry, a hero of the
Peking campaign. has failed in his ef-
forts to secure a transfer from the fight
ing line to the religious department of
the army While serving in the Philip
pines he applied for appointment as a
chaplain and was ordered to San Fran
cisco for examination. The report of the
examining board just received at the
War Department shows that Lieut.. Titus
failed to meet the legal requirements of
an army chaplain.
Lieut.. Titus is a medal of honor man.
While serving as a musician in the 14th
United States Infantry he took part in
the battle of Peking in April. 1900. and
was the first man to scale the walls of
the Chinese city. For his gallantry on
that occas sion President Mckinley ap-
pointed him cadet at the Military Acad-
emy. On graduating in June, 1905, he
was appointed second lieutenant in the
14th Infantry. He has served with that
regiment to date. most of the time in the
Philippines, but more recently at Fort
William Henry Harrison, Montana.
Notwithstanding his record as fight
ing soldier he preferred evangelistic
work, and it was to keep him In the serv-
zee that he was given an opportunity to
qualify as a chaplain.

Live Stock Exposition
and Horse Show-Chicago.

These combined exhibitions which
take place at the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, on the dates of November
22nd to December 3rd, inclusive, bring
together the greatest aggregation of
live stock that can be produced in any
country in the world. The horse show
vember 22nd, 23d, Oath, 25th and 26th,
and the live stock exposition, COM
mencing on the same day that the
horse show is brought to an end and
extending to December Sd, gives ex
hibitOrs at both, as we'll as the general
public, an opportunity of witnessing
these two extraordinary exhibitions
without extra expense or loss of time.
BY attending this exhibition the
breeder, feeder, stockman and farmer,
as we'll as others who are interested
in the live stock industry, can obtain
more information and practical knowl-
edge of live stock during the thirteen
days of it's continuance than is pos
sible for them to obtain in any other
way.
The most renowned judges from the
old country and the most expert in
this come together for the purpose
of displaying the combined talents Of
both, and pronouncing judgment upon
the various classes, that is supreme
and beyond appeal
A pound of practice is worth a ton
of theory, and in no industry can this
be turned into more gratifying results
than it can in the live stock world.
The breeder living at some distance
from Chicago may say, | do not see
how | can afford the expense, much
as | should like to make the trip and
greatly as | feel it's need. Let this
good fellow cut down expenses in
some other direction and attend the
show at all hazards, for it will pay
him, and pay him doubly and trebly
for he will go back, not only full of
enthusiasm, but with a practical work
ing knowledge in his head wherewith
he can right the wrongs of former
methods and start on the straight
road to success.
