JUST THE CHILDREN MoURNEn
None Came to Claim the Body OF
Old George, the Cor
netist.

About us everywhere in the flotsam
of the human tide are drifting mystic
ries we accept without inquiry. There
are such people in Sacramento as "Old
George the cornetist," who recently
fell dead in New York city.
Day after day he appeared at the
same corner, offered his familiar tunes
to h admiring children and the some
times abjuring adults, and collected
the pennies wherewith to buy food,
clothing II shelter.
No one ever asked him his right
name, but the children loved him.
Then IL morning. as Old George
raised his horn to his lips, it clat-
tered to the pavement, and the song
he was planning to give the crowd
ratified in his throat as he toppled over
dead.
The children mourned him for sew
eral days. No one came to claim his
body.

ARMY GETS NEW OFFICERS.
PICKED MEN GRADUATED
FROM MOUNTED SERVICE
SCHOOL.
on-Commissioned Officers From Ten
Cavalry Regiments Completed a
Rigorous Course OF Technical
Training at Fort Riley.

Fort Riley, Kas., April 29.-The non
commissioned officers of the American
army has risen to a new dignity. Ten
of them, picked men who looked the
part, were graduated today from the
Mounted Service School, the second
non-commissioned clcass in the his
tory of the mounted service. They
went through a program marking their
SUCCESSFUL completion of a highly
technical and rigorous course. After
the final number a cross-country race,
which should have been perpetuated
in the movies, but was not, they came
to attention beneath a great bluff at
the forking of Forsyth and Coyote a n
yons, and received their diplomas from
Col. Charles A. P. Hatfield. The ten
were chosen for character, intelli-
gence and soldierly qualities and we're
sent to Fort Riley last September to
take their masters degrees. For
seven months they have studied equi-
tation, horse training, hippology, horse
shoeing, workmanship and the PTS
toll in tn esame school and under the
same instruction as the student com
missioned officers. They now join
theier regiments, all but one of which
are in Mexico or on the border.
The army is being increased to war
strength anad legislation is now before
congress to increase its strength. As
a result raw recruits are pouring into
the army hoppers aand will come in
increasing numbers. Their metamor-
phosis from farm boys and factory
hands to enlisted men require more
than the manual of arms and a uni
form. There is more than that to the
enlisted mans job as conducted now
on the American plan.
The Task Of the Officials.
The officers, therefore, face a big
task in training the new army. But
in the cavalry branch of the service
they are going to have the expert as
