she will experiment on being more
kind and tolerant with her husband,

is a fact, however, that never, except
when the country was at war, has
the government done more for the Ma
tional Guard than now.
At the head of the New York state
detail is Lieut.. Col. A. P. Buffing-
of the militia problem, and he works
hand in hand with Major General
Organ, and the other higher officers
of the New York guard. Under
Colonel Burlington as inspector-in-
structors are Maj. William Weigel,
Capts. Joseph L. Gilbreth and
George H. White, and First Lieuts.
Russell James, Carroll B. Hodges

General Hills at the Head.
Eight officers are detailed to the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania, six to
Ohio, seven to Illinois, nine to Massa-
chusetts, and from one to four each
to every other state except Nevada.
Among these 1873 officers are about 20
retired officers who had to leave the
active service because of disabilities
that made campaigning in the Philip
pines, or service in Panama, Porto
Rico and border ports in this country
out of the question, but which did not
affect their usefulness as instructors.
Over all these officers is Brig. Gen.
Albert l.. Mills, u. S. A., chief of tho
division of militia affairs, with head
quarters in the war department. Gen.
eral Mills is one of the few New York
city general officers in the regular
service, and was formerly superintend-
ent of the Military Academy at West
Point. Attached to the staff of each
of the four department commanders
is also an officer whose duties have
entirely to do with militia affairs.
Col. Charles r. Noyes holds this
position on the staff of Maj Gen.
Leonard Wood, who commands at Gov
ernor's island; Col. d. A. Frederick is
the militia officer of the central de-
partment; Lieut.. Col. William S. Scott
holds the position on the staff of the
commanding general of the southern
department, and Col. John G. Gresham
on that of the commanding officer of
the western department at San Fran.

Where Goldsmith Taught.

Peckham Rye, which it is proposed
to enlarge by couple of acres, has no
particular history, but at any rate it
has its literary association. At a
school close by oliver Goldsmith was
an usher in his early London days,
and it was from there that he got the
introduction that began his literary
career. At an earlier date Peckham
had had some illustrious owners. Har-
old owned it in the days of Edward

queror granted it to the famous Odo,
bishop of Bayeux. But Peckham Rye

These girls who have been disap-
pointed by the men who have led them
to believe that when they have made
an appointment it was sure to be
kept, have not the idlest conception
of what the average girls really think
of them for their lack of considera-
ton. Did this particular fact ever &C.
cur to us that over half of the young
women who have found their beau
Ideals as they really supposed, will
make ali sorts of excuses for their
having broken their engagements re-
peatedly? Scarcely ever will they come
out openly and lay the blame for their
hours of waiting alone in the parlor
until their going upstairs in detection
to just where it belongs. Other
young women and girls might consider
the mittened lone" not capable of at
tracing a beau ideal when one paid
court for awhile. 1t takes a young
woman's stanchest courage to face
her girl friends as we'll as gentlemen
callers and admit that the beau who
had won her fancy from all others
had suddenly turned cold shoulder
to her for some fairer, perhaps young
er or more attractive maiden, whose
charms he valued more than hers.

trust crosses the horizon of the young
woman who is entertaining bright,

he is a Beau Brummel, rowing from
bud to flower, as his tickle fancy leads.
A young woman is usually afraid to
make an enemy of a one-time beau, II
she discourages his calling on her
after his Disappointment evenings for
the reason that he knows too many
of her little confidential dislikes of
some of her girl friends who might
welcome him to their homes, finding an
opportunity to get even.
Really, no one can advise the steps
which the girl will take toward the
beau who is not to be depended on.
She must Judge for herself as to her
pitiful waste of time, let alone affec-
tionate women whether it will be a
case of her being left beauless when
one is most needed. Half the women
have been led astray by wrong advice
as to Cupid. They should have a
heart-to-heart talk together, as to mat
ing engagements, keeping or breaking
them as their own sweet will prompt

Nobody knows who started the most

big tennis courts at the Brighton

tremely hot spell, number of play.
ers appeared on the courts, not in
their usual tennis toggery, but CARRIED
in bathing costume. 1t is almost un-

thing but their bathing costumes. I'M

Washington.-Muc has been said
and written since the European war
began as to military preparedness
of the United States. Organizations
whose purpose is to encourage prepar-
edness and to urge more liberal appro-
priations for the army and navy have
been organized in all parts OF the
country. The army and the navy have
been thoroughly studied in recent
months, and the president is now busy
with their problems; but what of the
great civilian army, then, of military
age between eighteen and forty-fOur
years, of whom according to the re-
ports of state adjutant generals on file
in Washington, there are nearly IL
100000. OF this total, as great almost
as the total of all the armies now
fighting in Europe, only sixty-one hun
dredths Of one per cent are in the
militia of the various states, which
means that more than 16,S00,000 are
men practically without military train
ing.
To get an idea of the situation. a
New York Times representative was
permitted a few days ago to read
some of the government reports on
the condition of the militia. The re-
suit was startling In more than a
score of states there is no field ar
tillery of any sort, and in the whole
country there are fewer than 40 off,
GERS of ordnance. In 35 states there
are no organizations trained for coast
artillery, "a have no cavalry, large
majority are without signal troops,
while the total force of organized en-
gineers, officers and men, totals less
than 1900 for the entire country. One
state, Nevada, is without militia organ
ization of any kind.
In the table that follows, which
gives the number of officers and en-
listed men of all arms in the National
Guard, the figures are from regu-
lar army inspectors, and appear i'll

sion of militia affairs.

FINDING FAULT WITH HIM.
Where the apple reddens
Never pry-
Lest we lose our Edens,
Eve and /,

If you have husband who is trying
hard the best way he can to get along,
don't be a milestone around his neck
to hamper him in his bitter fight with
the harsh world One word Of encour-
agement from the woman he loves
will put heart and strength in him to
make renewed efforts; her sheer will
make him so respondent that the light
est blow struck at him by an unfeeling
stranger will force him down and out.
1t is every mans right to have a
happy home If he provides one for
his wife and assumes the responsible
ity of it's upkeep. If his nerves and
brain have been on the rack all day
by business cares and worries, he
should find peace, comfort, love, con-
sideration and cheerfulness within
the four walls of his home.
Wives may not think that such hus-
bands need coddling, and loving, but
they do. What encouragement has a
husband who has worked hard all day
if he is met by fretful wife who
is ever ready to recite her woes to
him. but never asks of him did you
have a busy day, dear, and are you
tired? If you do not feel like going
out we will postpone going to the
movies or concert of lecture until
some other time"
How grateful the average husband
would be for such kindly solicitude
which tactly proved to him beyond
the power of mere words how dear
he was to her.
Ever if a husband does err in his
Judgment now and then, he should not
be made to feel that he had committed
an objectionable folly. Wise is the
wife who throws her arms about his
neck, assuring him that she is sure
he has done everything for the best
and that success will come their way
when he is least expecting it-thai
her confidence in him is unshakable
Such a husband will have renewed
strength to try again, aye, and keel
on trying until he really does win out
Many man has dread Of telling

Italy an Ancient Nation.

Italy may fairly claim t be senior
among the nations of Europe so far
as its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia" almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the 'Itali' proper
we're the inhabitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
of the name, there is the normal le-
gend of King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means a bull-calf,
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cattle.

When / hear of a woman blushing
and cringing before the scowling face
Of an irate husband who has just de-
livered lecture to her upon economy,
home staying, breaking off with clubs,
and the like, / wonder that she does
not rush headlong into another room
until the dove of peace helps them
make up. Why does not wife show
little more spirit and gumption in
taking her own part when she is
forced to listen to such sallies heaped
upon her Unexpectedly instead OF
meekly wiping tear from her eyes
and assuring her lord and master that
she will not take part in this and
that very soon again?
When alone, a grieved wife's pride
asserts itself. She knew that she had
been a home body-too much of one;
delving into the housekeeping, over
working in the monotonous duties, UNI
til night gave her tired hands relief.
while she crept into her room at dusk.
She had commenced to notice that she
could be of some account to humanity,
when her active sisters called her upon
the phone. and urged her to give them
a helping hand in several places where
there were vacancies which badly
needed to be filled. Until she had mar
ried, her clear, pleasing voice had been
heard in concerts and musical gath
FOL q mart that
was vacant and help the village choir
out? She was importuned and soon
was at her post there, regularly, de-
spite the stormy upbraidings OF her
other half. She did not patronize the
milliner or dressmaker very often.
Instead, she made up her dainty eve-
ming apparel herself, and contributed
the money she saved to worthy clubs
and charities. She could have over
looked all of his insinuations of her
love of idle gadding had he not made
light of her woman companions at
these meetings. They simply leave
all home work and go here and there
afternoons to show off their peacock
like finery of attire; to ride past
those who footed it, in automobiles
which caused envy. In fact, they
seemed to have one desire and that
was to push to the front wherever
they congregated, and thus be the
first on the list of desired invita-
tions."
At that she summoned courage to
flash defiance at this misunderstand-
ing which he had shown. She ar
gued every point which made these
women's lives bright and their pur-
pose helpful, and life-saving in many
instances. And then she gained the
day, spelling her victory, as no doubt
some would say, by going up and
holding out her hands to him and ex-
claiming in wheedling tones: John,
l am right in my doings, and so l
can afford to forgive YOU" What
husband is there who would not have
thought her the dearest of wives, hum
BILE herself as she did. A soft answer
is said to turn away wrath. Many
a woman has reclaimed her loved ones
and taken the better part-changed
his opinions to good, and he hardly
knew the reason why.
