A NEW ARMY PERIL
Boston Herald

The army is in peril again. This
time the coast artillery men have made
the discovery. 1t is all because the
Notifications lack defense in the rear.
The great guns with which they are
supplied can take care of assaiIants
VINO appear in front of them very we'll,
but there is the danger that some
enemy not named in the forecast will
| get behind the Notifications. and.
employing thanking parties, will do
disastrous damage.
The engineers or strategists who
planned the forts are held up as blund,
erers who have committed an error of
grievous proportions. The extent o.
this tactical mistake is described most
wildly in the Washington correspond
.ence of the New York Tribune. which
asserts that to repel even small land
ing parties, and to furnish adequate
protection for the "a military posts on
the coast force of 10000 men and
165 machine guns would be required.
This, it appears, from the report of
General Murray, chief of coast artil-
lery, is in addition to 10000 men who
should be drawn from state forces to
man the guns soon to be mounted in
these same forts.
1t is the mounting of the guns which
has brought this sad insufficiency of
the forts to attention, The heavy ar
ti1lery they contain can demolish only
the foe in front. The guns are set close

GRAFT IN VENICE
Author Says Worlds COney Island Is
Supported by Visiting Suckers

(Chicago Dispatch to n. Y World)
Hamlin Garland, essayist, novelist,
and lecturer, in a recent address to
the Hamilton Club, said
Venice is the worlds Coney Island.
1t Is show place supported by visit
ing suckers, and the show is so old
and moth-eaten that it is a wonder any
American falls for it. There is some
beauty OF architecture, but the city has
a petrified system to fleece all visitors.
Venice Is poor, old, Shiny piece of
scenery. All the so-called canals out
side the grand canal are sewers. 1t is
the home OF mosquitoes and the field
of malaria. Every inhabitant is a
CRATER, especially the hotel owners
and gondoliers.
The Doge's Palace is medieval
bunk and the Bridge of Signs, Byronic
bunk. The air is bad, and most of the
money handed tourists is counterfeit.
The gondolier Is a brigand. and his
merry sog usually precedes a robbery
Of his passengers. The walters are
thieves. who take your good Italian
money and hand you counterfeit n
change"

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every day is the world made new
Yau who are weary of sorrow and
SHINING,
Here is beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
An the past things are pass and over,
The tasks are done and the tears
are shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted
and bled,
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up in sheaf, which God
holds tight;
With glad days, and sad days, and bad
days which never
Shall visit US more with their bloom
and their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sor-
rowful night
Let them go, since we cannot relieve
them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in His mercy, receive, forgiy
them;
Only the new days are or own,
Today is ours, and today alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED

Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing
lightly
To face the sun and to share witt

In the cLCism Of dew and the cool OF

Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen, r1y soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow and oldel

Take heart with the day, and begiI

A FIRE IN A SMALL TOWN
american MagaZine.)

ct is an impressive sight-not the
fire itself, but the vent Two thousand
two hundred and nine people are there
that being the population of Home
burg minus the sick and wandering.
There always more or less of a
feud between the hook-and-ladder boys
and the hose-cart boys because the
former get the second team and rarely
arrive at the fire in time to hoist the
beautiful blue ladders before the hose
Ecart gang puts the conflagration out
Indeed, the feeling has gotten SO
strong at times that the hook-andlad-
der gang has threatened to double the
prize money by private subscription
and get their rig out first, but patrio-
tism has thus far prevented this.
I'm the midst of the seething mass
are the hose cart and the ladder
truck. Around them dozens of rel
helmets are bobbing, while the quiy-
ering air is cut and slashed and man
gled with a very hurricane of orders:
Bring up that hose Whoa, keep
that horse still Bring her round
this way Bring her round this
way Hey, you chumps, the fire
this side Back up that wagon
Get out of here till we get a laddet

water Turn on that water! -
Jones, go down and tell that wooden
Indian to turn on that water Hold
that water, you--- Hold that water!'

And then the water comes with a
mighty rush, yanking the nozzleme

men and common citizens aside as f
they were mere straws.
AS a rule, this is the climax, and
the end comes rapidly. BY this time
Brown who has put the fire out with
few pals of water before the alarm
sounded has persuaded the depart
ment to call off its hose, the barn be-
ing full of valuable hay. So there ism
anything doing. The water is tn ned
off. Tom Mckenzie explains to the
} 18th knot of people how he was going
past the place when he saw the tongue
of flame, and every one disperses after
a pleasant social time.
Everybody is tolerably we'll satisf-
ed except the hook-and-ladder gang
which, as usual, is squnked again
never got ladder out A couple Of
the aXmen had little fun with a rear
window, but otherwise the affair is ;
fiat failure. They go back sullenly
but are comforted when the roll is
called, when eac' member who was
present draws dollar from the city
treasury. As usual Pete SoundblooT
is late, and tries to edge in to roll call
though he was a mile away from the
peril, but he can't make it stick, am
