military Training for Business Men

The work of the business mon and
college graduates who5have gone TO
Plattsburg, ~, for month OF mil
itary training is being followed with
keen interest all over the country. A
vacation spent in this form OF military
work would appeal to a great many
active and patriotic men. The chief
difficulty in most cases is that people
cant get away from their business, or
think they can't.
In ,most cases this is merely an idea.
Most men exaggerate their own i'm.
portance. Somehow the machine will
run along, even if they are gone. ANY
business or professional man should
have his understudies who can do his
work in case of emergency.
If these camps of business men
could be formed all over the country
IT. would provide form of vacation
having many novel and stimulating
features. Military work with its
marching rythm and study of prob
lens OF strategy has its fascination
for any rugged and wide awake mind,
The outdoor life would bring health
and strength And the existence OF a
large body of, men, partly trained for
worA as officers, would impress 9th
err countries and reduce the chances
OF war.

Awakening.

Mid the dead of life's deep slumDers,
in the wake OF strife's repose
Comes to heart revelation as dis
cordant musng flows:
In the wandering thoughts relentless
as our inspirations fall
Lies lamenting Ger her sorrows and
redeem is past recall.
Through the landscape far we wan
der with listless weary tread,
And we ponder DER affection, the in
trepid, and the dead:
And the amulet Of nature smiles so
sweetly in return
AS Awakening is calling and life's
principles we learn.
Thus the years of life's vocation blend
the ways of worthy deeds.
And the harvest which thou reapeth
must be sown of moral seeds.
All, forget the sad reflection-the
Awakening is night;
Let the distance speak your triumph
AS the future rambles by!
