 "I know it," said Mehitable. "He wanted to make some himself, when we were first married, but Ivetoed that. wasn't goin' to have a man messin' round maxim pies, and I wasn't goin' to have him eatin' of 'em after they were made. Pies atn't good for him. But declare I dunno what does make him act so kind of spiritless. I told him today thought he'd better make resolution for the New Year and stick to it, and see if it wouldn't put some spunk into him."
 Pretty soon she went home I could see she, was real kind of troubled. She always did think good deal of Lem- uel i'll spite of everything.
 The next day was New Years, and in the afternoon Mehitable came in again. She didn't have her sewin' as she generally did, she was very in- dustrious woman She jest sat down and begun twisting the fringe of her shawl as if she was real nervous. Her face was puckered up, too. 'I dunno what to make of Lemuel," said she, finally.
 Why, what's the matter?" said I, kind of scared.
 "He says he's made a resolution for the New Year." said she, land that he's goin' to keep it."
 "Well, what is it?" said I.
 'T dunno," said she.
 well, if it's a good one, you don't care, do you?" said I, land it couldn't be anythin' but good one if my broth CT made it-''
 "I dunno what it is," said she.
 Wont he tel1?'
 "No, he won't, I can't get a word out of him about it. He don't act like himself''
 We'll, must say I never saw such change as come over Mehitable and Lemuel after that. He wouldn't tell what his resolution was, and she couldn't make him, though she almost went down on her knees. It began to seem as if she was fairly changin' characters with Lemuel, though she had a spell of bein' herself more'n ever at first, tryin' to force him to tell what that resolution was. Then she. give that up, and she never asked him where he was goin', an he could come in my house an sit jest as long as he wanted to, and she bought him a short-tafled coat and some store col lars and shirts, and he looked like an- other man He got to stayin' down to the store nights, an talkin' politics

 We'll, Lemuel he never gave in, and he never told till the next New Years day, when he'd said he would. He'd said all along that he'd tell her then I'd got most as curious as Mehitable myself by that time, and New Years mornin' I run over real early-they wasn't through breakfast I knew the minute saw them that he hadn't told. He said he wouldn't till he was through his breakfast He was most through-was finishing up with a big piece of mince pie, and he'd made it himself, too. When he'd swallowed the last mouthful, he looked up and he laughed, real pleasant and sweet, and yet with more manliness than I'd ever seen in him.
 "S'Pose you want to know what that New Years resolution was ?" said Lem uel.
 q guess I can seand it a while long er," said MehHEble. Now the time had come she didn't want to act too eager, but showed out jest what, felt.
 For the land sake, Lemuel Rabbit, what was it?'' se4d I.

SchofeM Notes

u
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, August /.
The close of the present week will
find the Twenty-fifth Infantry with
the greater portion of their regular
target season behind them, as the 1st
battalion, the last battalion to fire,
will complete the marksman and
sharpshooter courses on Saturday.
The End and 3rd battalions of the
regiment have finished also their
field firing on the class 'B'. range and
the sharpsnooters of these two battal-
ions, whose names appear below, to-
gether with such holdover shots OF
the same grade, will start on the ex-
pert rfileman course on Sunday morn
ing. The 1st battalion will begin its
field firing problems on Monday, and
Immediately after these are complet-
ed will start its expert rifeman
course The time allotted to the
Twentyfifth will expire on August 10
and the last five days of the period
will be devoted to the proficiency
tests required OF each company.
The fifty odd recruits who arrived
on the last transport and who were
assigned tor the LIST battalion were IN
able to complete the required prelim-
mary instruction in time to fire the
regular courses with their organibza-
lions, and the expected arrival OF
several hundred more recruits after
the conclusion of the regular course
all signs point to an unusually long
supplementary season in the fall with
the season nearly as extensive in
scope as the regular season just fin
ishing. Considering that there are
nearly five hundred raw recruits fir
ing at present, many of whom have
never shot a service or other. kind of
rifle before. and have never had any
previous military training, the results
of the. TARGET season have been very
acceptable to organization command
ers.
There seem to be quite number OF
the new men who are aft class known
as natural shots, who take to shoot
ing quite naturally, and who require
nttle or no, instruction to savvy the
dope" and to produce results. One
company commander of the LIST bat
TALON boasts of a. man, a novice at
shooting, who has completed the
marksman course with 80 points
to spare, having a total of $50, which
is very creditable score for the ay-
erage old-hand marksman.
There is probably no army station
in the country that possesses such
excellent sites for the various classes
of ranges required. There is the old
class "A" range, west of the field ar.
tillery confinement, which if of the
echelon type. and can easily accomo-
date a battalion at time; the new
class "a" range with 16 targets OF
each kind, and the excellent class "B'
range further to the north. The class
"B" range. deYotedly entirely to the
field problems, has an excellent ter
rain for problems introducing any tao
teal situation, and series of paral

Brigadier- General Crowder Mspects Post Prev
ious to Final Action Being Taken by
War Department

For the purpose of making a final
report to the War Department rela-
tive to the advisability of abandoning
the Pacific branch of the United
States Military prison at Alcatraz and
turning 1t over to the Department of
Justice as Federal penitentiary for
civilian offenders, Brigadier-G General
Enoch H Crowder, Judge Advocate
General of the Army, of Washington,
ID. c., recently visited San Francisco
and investigated the Alcatraz post. =
1t is stated from authoritative
sources that the abandonment of Alca-
traz by the military authorities will
be officially announced as soon as
General Crowder files his final report,
the idea being to hereafter keep mill,
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-08-02

,tary offenders on Army reservations.
General Crowder has been visiting the
Mcneil penitentiary on Puget Sound
and has decided already, it is stated,
thft military prisoners from northwest
posts shall hereafter be sent there
instead of being brought to Alcatraz.
The abandonment of Alcatraz as a
military prison would reduce Federal
expenses all around, as Federal pris-
oners from all parts of the coast are
now sent to Mcneil island, which is a
heavy cost in transportation. Keeping
soldier prisoners at Army posts also
will remove the stigma of having them
inmates Of a penitentiary, and the
idea is welcomed by officials of the
Department of Justice and soldiers
alike.

FORT SHAFTER,. Aug. IA regi-
mental review preceded the monthly
muster Thursday. The ceremony was
conducted in heavy marching order, or
field equipment, and after the march
the regiment went into shelter tent
camp on the parade.
The brigade commander, General
Macomb, was present during the en-
tire morning and was accompanied by
Colonel ]. G. Galbraith, inspector; Ma
jor j. A. Penn, brigade adjutant, and
Lieut.. B. r. Peyton, aide de camp.
The visitors were particularly inter-
ested in the pitching of the shelter
tents, since it was the occasion of the
first try-out of new method of TAX
ing the necessary intervals for the
tents, recently ordered by the war de-
partment. Though no expression of
opinion on the part of the brigade
commander was given out, it is
thought that he was convinced that
the method is faulty in that it does not
allow sufficient lateral space. Ger
tainly the End infantry captains are of
that view after having given the plan
careful and repeated trials. After the
End Infantry inspection was complet-
led, General Macomb accompanied Col.
French during the latters inspection of
the engineer and signal companies in
their respective camps.
- -
The company of engineers are en-
gagged at present in building road
from their. camp site to connect with
the service road leading from the
main garrison to 1.-THE pump house. The
road will be of practicable width with
"a strong retaining wall of boulders
down either slope of the ravine cross
ed by it and have only a per cent
grade as maximum slope This road
will avoid the long haul around by
the car station now necessary when
drawing their supplies from the quar-
termaster warehouses. All of the
work on this road. including the nee
essary blasting in rock lodges, is be-
ing done by the men of Captain Han
NUNS command In connection with
this subject It may be remarked that

tween Honolulu and Schofield Bar

limits of the Fort Shafter reservation.
This section has apparently had no
repair work done on it for long
time and in consequence rivals an old
fashioned corduroy road for bumps,
holes and general roughness. This
last week it has received a liberal
coating of oil which may be taken as
an indication that no permanent re-
pairs are contemplated by the munic-
fipal authorities. 1t is greatly hoped
that the complete rebuilding of the
west King roadway now under way to
within a mile of Shafter may ;be ,ex-
tended through the reservation and, as
far out as Moana Lua park. Certain
