land, his special crony. TN all the
months of our acquaintance / have
never seen any exhibition Of nerves.
and ! have been with her when
mouse, a cow, snake and a heavy
thunderstorm appeared on the scene
not all at once, of course, but upon
four separate occasions. She was not
in the least ruffied by one of them,

to these eulogies Of the young woman
mentioned, and answered good
humoredly:

last you have found the perfect
woman, and | suppose the next step

1T would be the best step 1 ever
took in my life if l could win her
consent to that change" declared Al
len with decision.

that there really does exist something
of which Miss Ivan is afraid mean
something within the everyday list of
happenings; wouldn't you have to form
your opinion of her all over AGAIN."

faith in her freedom from all the

When duty forced Bert to leave him,
Allen started out for the Ivan home,
and lost all sense of time in ponder
ing over the perfection of the fearless
Isabelle. So deep was he In this
pleasant musing that it only gradual

meant an increase in the burden OF
the German people Of $4,000, 900 year

every regiment dt Odn Antonio WIN
Be Raised to a War Footing.
San Antonio, Tex, March 14.-Major
General William H. Carter, who is in
supreme command of the divisional
army now mobilizing in Texas, said
that the massing of 10000 troops with
in striking distance of the Mexican
border, had no ulterior significance
whatever and that the movement was
simply pursuant of a desire on the
part of the general staff at Washing
ton to test the new field service regu-
lations.
In making this statement General
Carter broke the scrupulous silence
that he had maintained since his ar.
rival at the big camp at Fort Sam Hous-
ton on Saturday morning.
Within an hour of the time that
General Carter thus explained the rea-
son for the hasty assemblage of all
branches of the service along the 1900
miles of foreign border, a train load of
cavalry recruits from Columbus, o.,
pulled in to the railroad yards a mile
from the camp.
The recruits and their officers did
not detrain but stayed in their cars.
They left over the Southern Pacific
line for Eagle Pass on the Mexican
border this morning. They go to swell
the number of the Third cavalry now
doing patrol duty along the fighting
zone.
With the arrival of six other car.
loads of cavalry recruits from the
same recruiting post in Ohio the
Eleventh cavalry, now on the ground
at the camp, is raised to full war
strength of l,lSS men and 81 officers,
Over 200 recruits for the infantry
and engineer corps also came in and
everywhere on the great windy plain
where the divisional camp has been
established awkward squads were be-
ing put through their PAGES by drill
sergeRnts all day.
Although no official statement to
that effect has been issued by General
Carter, 1t was a matter of common
knowledge that before the end OF the
week every regiment of each arm Of
.he service represented in the divi-
sion which he commands will be as
nearly recruited to war footing as
the exigercies of railroad transporta
ton will permit.

Prepared by Himself In Place of
One by His Pupil.

Albany, March 14.-License of Fred
rrick V. Webster Baldwinsville high
school principal to teach in this state
has been revoked by State Education
Commissioners Praper who sustained
the charges of fraud made against him
in substituting paper prepared by the
principal in place of paper presented
by one of his pupils on a regents ex-
animation held at his school,
A petition signed by 900 or more res
idents of Baldwinsville was submitted
10 Commissioner Draper asking for le-
niency for the accused. Mr.. Draper
says in rendering his decision:
"The board of education very prop
erly has assigned another principal to
the school and this has led to what is
called strike by a large body of the
pupils; who, the manifest acquiescence
of their parents have refused to go to
school, paraded the streets with often
sive placards, and much commotion,
called the teachers who discovered the
fraud, snoopers, and otherwise insult
ed and menaced them"
Commissioner Draper further finds
this condition to the fact that the
principal has worked industriously
and effectively to engage the interest
and attachment of pupils.
But" continued Mr.. Draper, at can
count but little against frauds, which
not only give children false ratings
and their parents false hopes, but also
overthrow moral sense in the school
and undermine the entire system of
education"
