EASY QUESTION TO DECIDE
No One Need Long Hesitate to Decide
Between What - Right and
What IL Wrong.

There is one great trouble among
men, and that is@because they have
sot clear conceptions of what is
right and what is wrong. They go
through life with their thoughts all
confused upon this subject, and very
often take the wrong side almost as
natural result. Buf everybody
should have clear idea of what is
right and wrong, for if they do and
make use of the knowledge their
lives will be happier and society ex-
alted A few questions will make
plain the rightness or wrongness of
a matter in question: On which
side of this issue is reverence, hon.
esty, purity, unselfishness, candor? ?
If these do not figure on side of an
issue, you may be sure it is the wrong
side If there is an omission of any
one of these qualities it is the wrong
side
Judgment in these matters of ev-
eryday life, upon which a person
wants to be right, can easily be
reached by interposing these ques-
tions Suppose upon the common
experience of voting there may be
some doubt; just ask these questions
concerning the candidate and you
will find it is very easy matter to
be on the right side. Does the can
didate suggest reverence, honesty,
purity, unselfishness, candor? If
not. he is on the wrong side; it
makes no difference what party
badge he may wear. If you want to
be right you. will vote against him.
The same rule viii apply in all the
concerns of life.-Ohio State Jour

tion which comes from the Boston

Florence Officer Makes
An Important Arrest

O'Clock. A nelenpor woman. saw the
men force window open and put the
little boys inside. The boys unlocked
the door and the burglars walked in
and helped themselves. The house in
that neighborhood where the two men
were living was located by the police
and large quantity of the stolen loot
was recovered. Armed officers were
placed in the house to await the re
turn of the men and arrest them. The
two officers, however. made the mis-
take of locking the back screen door
which had been left unlocked, and in
addition to that one of them had TAX
en- his automatic revolver apart and
was cleaning it when Taylor and Ber-
ger returned about 1880 o'clock the
morning of September 81
After Berger escaped he walked up
onto the porch of a house in that
neighborhood and asked if he might
sit down for moment. To explain his

the altitude very trying. And sitting
on that porch he watched the police
go up and down the street on the side
walk in front of the house where he
was sitting. Aside from remarking
that he understood that burglar had
escaped. he showed no apparent con-
cern over the chase and the man with
whom he was talking did not suspect
him. After the police had given up
the hunt. he asked to use the phone
and called taxi in which he rode TO

That l have not written before is
due to the fact that work and study
are the important issues at the
present time.
Our duties now consist largely Of
field work made to represent as far
as possible the conditions which we
will encounter abroad. Practically
every day some new phase is involved
which tends to keep us keyed up to
a high pitch of expectancy. l would
like to go more into detail concern
ing these late developments, but we
have been warned to keep some of
them secret.
DR.. w. ]. Trimble of the North
Dakota A. c., gave us an agreeable
surprise when he walked in on us
on a recent evening to see how we
were getting along. The A. G. bunch
had quite talk fest" with him be-
fore he left on an eastern trip.
We have finished our qualification
shooting and the company, as a
whole, did well, especially as one of
the days was very windy and gusty,
making good shooting difficult. Con-
sidering my own score, 1t suffices
that once or twice was strongly
tempted to charge the target with
my bayonet.
Once again we are having the ex-
IRENE pleasure of being jabbed in the
arm with the surgeons hypodermics
and having our arms shot full Of
"anti-juice." This is another three
shot series of anti-typhoid treat
ment, with the shots coming a week
apart. 1t is not the common,

strange as it may seem. there is no
record of a single case where a
student has refused to accept Uncle
Sans monthly stipend.
We have been fortunate so far in
having good weather but the mos
quitoes are now appearing in force
However, the mosquito bar that has
been issued to each man, when
draped over his cot, affords perfect
protection, so we sleep undisturbed
by these pests.
Taps are about due SO I will close
with best wishes.
