THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

One ought to balance the good
with the bad and also the length Of
time a man has lived to form a true
estimate Of his character. Polybius,
the Greek historian, says THERE'S
no reason why we should not some
times blame and sometimes COM
mend the same person, for. as none
is always night, neither is it probable
that he should be always wrong"

TONIGHT At MYRTLE
Company | to Spend Sunday
at Resort

The Americas Light Infantry Will
be given tonight another slight test
in the tactics of real service when the
entire company, under command oi
Captain C. P. Davis, will bivouac at
Myrtle Springs, and spend Sunday in
camp there as we'll. The soldier boys
will leave the city as soon as the
moon is up, well enough to insure
safety in getting out of the village
streets and on to the country roads,
where the marching is much better.
Upon arrival at Myrtle Springs, the
tramp there requiring two hours, the
soldier boys will enjoy barbecue
supper, swim in the lake, and then
seek sweet repOse until the morrow,
when they will march back to Ameri-
Gus in the early evening.

So far as the parents of the missing
boys are informed, they We're Iured
away from home by the ambition to
be cowboys or generals. Usually a

many instances the boys have failed

been found.

that there is no chance for the dispO-

nearly combines the four attributes
and is willing to become his bride.

ASTOR'S YOUNG BRIDE
WILL BE ECONOMICAL.
viii Spend Comparatively Small
Amount on Wedding Gowns.

New York, August 15.-It became the
opinion of some Fifth avenue modistes
today that Miss Madeline Force, the
!oung fiancee of Colonel John Jacob
Astor, is to be economical in the ar
engagements for her wedding trOusselu
1t was learned on the avenue that she
and Colonel Astor drove in a taxicab
to five shops yesterday afternoon,
where the young woman made it plain
that $1,000 would be the limit of eX-
penditures for her wedding finery.
In contrast to the $4,000 which 4
recent society girl is said to hay e
spent on her trousseau, including ST.
500 for a single gown, it was said
that Miss Force objected to a $3.50
creation which one modiste showed
her today and found one at a shop
further on with pleased her just as
well for 500.
