pitching being as bad as the Mack
mems fielding.
Carr was a particularly bad per-
former. After the giant first baseman
dropped his third thrown ball, Mack
became wild, but in a quiet way. He
waited for Carr as he was walking to
the bench. Taking a dime from his
pocket, he handed it to Carr.
"Why, what's that for?" said Carr
in surprise.
''It's carfare home" replied Mack
coldly, "and take Plank with you"
Mack meant what he said and didn't
permit either Carr or Plank to play
any more that day.

A lawyer should only seek justice for
his clients. BY obtaining an acquittal for
a guilty man he has defeated justice.
Suppose lawyer knows his client is
guilty, and if convicted the sentence must
be imprisonment but he obtains verdict
of acquittal. The client is turned loose on
society, and commits other crimes while he
ought to have been serving time for the
first crime, is not the lawyer partly respon-
sible for his crimes?
The knowledge that they can hire great
lawyers to defend them has given encour-

The new firing regulations now under
consideration nave not yet been adopted
and II win bo impracticable to publish
them for the use OF the army and organ
ized militia during the present target
year.
1t has been decided by the War De-
partment to conduct all firing for the
present year under the provisions of the
Small Arms Firing Manual 1909. and to
put the new firing regulations into effect
on January l, 1sl3
The State of New York has recently
carried out two very successful field
firing problems, the first Of which was
executed by the First Squadron, First
New York Cavalry, near Peekskill N.
Y. and the second problem. by provi-
sionai organizations from the First New
York Cavalry. Twelfth New York Infan-
try. ana Second Battalion New York

ductive OF excellent results in the shape

service training considered TO be OF much
Importance.
Several States have procured the United
States Army escort wagon and harness
during the past year. and additional re-
QUESTIONS FOR the same are pending. II
Is considered desirable, for at least escort
wagons TO be on hand as a part OF the
field equipment, Animals and the neces-
sary harness can be more readily pro-
cured when occasion requires. One ad-
vantage OF the army type OF wagon rests
in the fact that II Is standardized and
spare parts for repairs are readily pro-
curable.
Plans for the prospective maneuver
campaigns for the year 1872 require the
use OF regimentai transports under sery-
ice conditions. and 10 meet this. several

the law:
Portions OF both the regular army and
the organized militia must participate.
THE division commanders must an
nounce in orders that q camp OF instruc-
tion for such and such regular troops
will be held in the vicinity OF such and
such a place.
"only such portion Of the organized
militia can participate therein as may
be authorized by the division commanders
under authority Of the Secretary Of War
The participation on the part OF the
organized militia consists in complying
with the instructions OF the Secretary
of War. or his regular army representa-
tive. and the programme of duties and
instruction must, therefore. be formulated
OF adopted by the regular army represent
ative. after consultation with the militia
authorities who participate"
In connection with joint exercises for
the regular army and the organized
militia, the Secretary Of War has decided.
upon the recommendation of the Ma

the minimum authorized strength OF the
organized militia shall be required for

Recently an inquiry was presented to
the Division of Military Affairs as 10
whether a cadet regiment OF a State
agricultural college. comprising twelve
companies. could he included in the or
Ganizeo militia OF State. under the
condition that they be given a special
Ct school work only for the three years.
The inquiry was answered as follows:
The War Department could not approve
any plan OF eniisting college cadets which
would place them In n privileged class
OF the militia distinct from the organlzed
militia at large. and no Federal support
could be given such cadet organizations
under the amended militia law.
THE fact that the personnel of any
organization Of the militia is made up OF
the students OF a college does not in
itself bar the organization from being
considered organized militia, but the per-
sonnel OF the organization must stand
all the tests which are required by the
amended militia law.
The War Department wishes to en-
courage In every proper way the military
schools and colleges throughout the
country and II desires the organized
militia to have the advantage OF the
trained personnel turned out each year
by these schools, but the rlsn suggested
above would not be possible under the
law
