FORT SKATER, Aug. 29.-The in
vitation t. the I'd Infantry to enter a
team in the proposed tug-of-war con-
test at the arinory of the Ist N G.. H.
has been received and 1t is practically
certain that the regiment will enter a
team and support its reputation in that
branch of sport. A majority of the
company commanders have indicated
their willingness, to- furnish men as
candidates for the team. The date Sc
lected for the meet will be important
to the I'd Infantry since the regiment
is now scheduled to undertake its
regimental march sometime during the
month of September and will probably
be absent from the post for about two
weeks time on that duty. AS it has
been announced that no men will be
excused from the tour Of field duty
for the purpose1of training and being
present at the athletic meet, it will be
seen that the date selected by the man
agement of the tournament will have an
important bearing on the attitude or
the regiment towards the competition.
The I'd Infantry won against all com.
ers in the outdoor tug of war event in
the field day at the last Carnival and
still retains on its rolls the majority
of the men that composed that champ

THE NEW PASTOR
BY H. M. EGBERT.

Well, when we heard that sky-pilot
was coming to Raw Gulch we allowed
1t would be a good thing for the town
Raw Gulch had been a tough place
In its time, like most of the mining
camps, but that was many years be-
fore, and the gold had all been taken
from the river beds and the mining
was done respectable like, with
stamps and cyanide There had been
a good deal of gambling, but the new
state law had put that out of business,
and the only signs Of evil was Miss
Flora Deering setting up the drinks in
Bill Hicks saloon. Flora was all
right, and If her hair was golden it
was that way naturally.
So, as said, we thought the arrival
of Rev Mr.. Tracey would be a good
thing for the town. We'd heard he
was a Harvard man, and we looked
forward to an intellectual polishing
in Raw Gulch. Mrs Fay Anderson,
the secretary of the local Browning
society, said she was glad he had been
at Harvard, because he would certain
ly be an educated man, and education
was booming in Raw Gulch just then.
When Rev. Mr.. Tracey got down
on the stage coach we were very
much interested in him. He wore
sweater and high boots, and he was
six foot three and broad In the beam
accordingly. The group that had col
lected round the coach prepared to
greet him cordially.
My names Tracey, and I'm to be
the new pastor here" he says looking
straight In front Of him. AS Jim Ben
sons face happened to be in front Of
him, 1t was Jim Benson caught his
eye Jim looked at him for about ten
seconds, and then he looked at his
hat, and then at his boots, but when
he came back to the parsons face the
parson was still looking at him.
well. sir?" says Mr.. Tracey
sharply.
Yes, yes, quite WE'LL mean, thank
you, Mr.. Tracey" stammers Mr.. Ben
son.
The parson smiled kind of sarcas-
tic.
I've heard Of the tough ways you
folks out West have" he says, and If
there's going to be any fighting I'm
ready for you now"
Which certainly feazed us. Be-
cause, you see, we had come to the

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adage That "He Who Hesitates
is Lost" Is Whole Bundle
Of Truth.

In a letter to a friend at great
moral crisis in his life Darwin ex-
pressed an observation which is con-
firmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself to
him when he first faced the crisis ne
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration, when he was
sorely tempted to proceed, he told MS
friend of the struggle he was having.
but added. First Impressions are gen
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
in view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties is put up to a person MS
first impression is on the merits OF
the question, without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom up, and eau
ton is apt to get the better OF the
doubter.
Reflection on a matter OF disagree
able duty often paralyzes action. The
adage, He who hesitates is lost, en-
bodies a store of wisdom.
