1t is surely an easy task to praise

illness before his death. He was found
in his apartments by maid. There
are no particulars obtainable as to the
immediate cause of his death

Newport, N. H., January 8, 1882, com
ing west with his parents five years
later. settling in southern Iowa, at

MILITARY DISCIPLINE

In many ways military organization is the most
peaceful of activities When the contemporary
man steps from the street, of clamorous insin-
cere advertisement push, adulteration, undersell-
ing and intermittent employment, into the bar
backyard, he steps to a higher social plane
into atmosphere of service and cooperation
and of infinitely more honorable emulations.
Here at least men are not flung out of employ
ment to degenerate because there is no imme-
date work for them to do. They are fed and
drilled and trained for better services Here at
least a man Is supposed to win promotion by
self-forgetfulness and not by self-seeking. And
beside the feeble and irregular endowment OF re-
search by commercialism, its little short-sghted
snatches at profit by innovation and scientific
economy see how remarkable is the steady and
rapid development OF method and appliances in
naval and military affairs!
Nothing is more striking than to compare the
progress Of civil conveniences which has
left almost entirely to the trader to the progress
in military apparatus during the last few decades.
The house appliances of today, for example, are
little better than they we're so years ago
house OF today is still almost as ill-ventiated.
badly heated by wasteful fires cumsily arranged
and furnished as the house OF 1858 Houses
couple of hundred years old are still satisfactory
places OF residence. SO little have our standards
risen. But the rifle or battleship OF so years ago
was beyond all comparison inferior to those We
possess; in power. in speed. in convenience alike.
No one has use now for such superannuated
things.
The conceptions Of order and discipline. the
tradition of service and devotion OF physical ht-
ness unstinted exertion and universal RESPONSE
bility which universal military duty Is now teach
ing European nations, will remain a permanent
acquisition. when the last ammunition has been
used in the fireworks that celebrate the final
peace.-H @. Wells.

the number OF gallons of oil and the number Of
gallons of water used In the engines dynamos
and auxiliaries.
Competition thus engendered and intellgently
rewarded for success or failure has compelled a
study of the enlisted man by the officer which
has resulted in feeling of mutual interdepend-
ence which has brought officer and man in
relationship which makes snobbishness on the
one hand and misunderstanding the other more
nearly impossible every day.
To fit the man to his position of maximum
usefulness in the navy demands, therefore, no
change In existing mechanism of effort The
only thing necessary is to coordinate and to
direct to given end the forces already in ex-
istence every ship and at every station of the
navy.
This given purpose is two-fold in character
First, to use the navy to give education, broad.
mindedness and personal efficiency to each Of
fcer and enlisted man in the service. training
each individually to give the highest possible
returns in actual useful effort for the money
expended for his pay and training.
This first aim will send forth among our citi-
zenship each year approximately 1000 men, each
OF whom is qualified by his industrial training,
by his association with officers and men of diff
ferent nations, by his habit of mind of intelli-
gent comprehension and quick well-disciplined
action and by his broad understanding of world
politics. to act as center for spreading knowl-
edge of discipline, OF good citizenship, of the
highest ideals of mental, physical and spiritual
efficiency through every section OF United
States.
Second from the body OF men thus qualified
the employer viii be able to select from exact
records. the man ftAed in every respect for best
efficiency in any given position. Letters from
some of the largest employers OF labor In the
country show that they employing men
holding honorable discharges from the navy and
getting from them higher efficiency than from
the average man.
Give greater certainty of direction to the in
dustrial education OF each and It is not pos
sbie to avoid the conclusion that greater EN-
cheney still win result
Let us pass now TO consideration of the ma
terial side OF the navy. Do you realize that
when ship of our feet visits foreign port
she carries on board practical. complete. work
ing demonstrations of the best and latest Ameri-
can-made types Of machinery?

It is my desire to install a s250.000 pumping

ing SO smoothly and efficiently and with 30 small

Immediately with the fact that those pumps,
made by an American manufacturer are the
only ones that win serve my purpose.

Shoots BIG Game.
The greatest danger" continued
Mrs. Roby, is not from native treach-

beasts, which infest the camps"
Big and little game she shot In profu-
