German discipline In the army is
the strictest Of any nation in the
world" said a man who has expe-
rienced 1t. Every German boy must
serve a definite period In the army.
He can buy his way out in six months
II he has money. but the richest must
serve that period. The first thing told
a recruit when he enters the barracks
is that he does not know how to walk
That information startles him, because
naturally he believes he had learned
to walk years before. A drillmaster
gets him in a courtyard, and for a
week. often a month. the poor recruit
Is drilled In walking alone. Then he
gets another course, and the longest
practice marches Of a regiment are al
most equal to the stress of actual war.

rendered great service to the en-
peror. asked the hand Of his daughter
In marriage. Maximilaan said that as
he esteemed them both alike it was
impossible to choose between them
and therefore their own prowess must
decide it; but, being unwilling to
risk the loss Of either By engaging
them in deadly combat. he ordered a
large sack to be brought and declared
that he who should put his rival into
it should have bis fair Helena. And
this whimsical combat was actually
performed In the presence of the i'm

unhappy Spanish nobleman was first
overcome. and the German succeeded
In enveloping him in the sack. putting
him upon his back and laying him at
