training they will have and qualify to be officers in this great national army, said General Cole. Plans are now being perfected for the establishment of training camps in which these Ma tionaI guard recruits will go and where they will receive instructions in mili tary work that will be practically on par with Plattsburgh.
 Though I speak with no official authority, I personally believe that the young men who enter theA National guard now and show themselves to be qualified for it will be selected when the time comes that the officers are to be picked for the army which soon will be drafted. The man who enters the service now will have a distinct advantage over the man who comes in later or who Is taken for the new army because of the fact that he has had additional training of the intensive variety which we plan to give all re- cruits from now on."

INTEREST IN NATIONAL
 GUARD TRAINING CAMP
Intensive Work Will Fit Men for Off
 eers' Commissions.

Much interest is aroused in the re- port that Adjutant General George M. Cole is planning to establish a Ma tional guard training camp in Con necticut, where members of the Ma tional guard will receive training to fit them for commissions as officers in the guard and in the new national army. This proposed camp will be much like the Plattsburgh camp and the result will have the opportunity to qualify as officers.
 There is no reason why men of the National guard who show particular aptitude for the military life and naili- tarx work should not benefit by the

MATERIALS IN BIRDS NESTS
Feather Folk Use Greater Variety Of
Things In Building Homes Than
Is Supposed.

Perhaps when you have said that
birds nests are made of leaves, twigs,
grass, string, moss, feathers, hair or
mud you think you have exhausted the
list of building materials used by the
feathered folk. But to examine even
one nest carefully will prove that your
list is by no means complete.
For example, a nest of gray vireo
was found to be fastened to the
bough of the tree by means of strips
Of inner bark, of, spider and cocoon
silk, and of milkweed stalk. The body
Of the nest yielded the following in
ventory: White and yellow birch
bark, cobwebs, blue bottle fly, spider
egg silk tufts, slender roots, bits of
pith leaf skeletons from which all but
the ribs and veins had been cut away,
pine needles, old cocoons of the tus-
sock moth, grass, caterpillar hairs,
1andelion seeds, moss and feathers. At
the bottom Of the nest, where great
strength was needed, was a piece Of
gray paper from the nest of the paper
making. hornets, and ii terwOven with
all these were bits of newspaper.
Other vireo nests have yielded as
many as hundred black spiny cater
pillar skins, a half yard of lace edg-
ing, and even small snake skins.

TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity, Greed and Initiative Faculty
of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.

| When we see in the street an Or
gan-grinder with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
Of the animals native home or how 1t
was trapped. AS a matter of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The aforementioned
have nOstrlls widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with narrow nasal septum.
One might readily imagine that the
trapping Of monkeys is a difficult op-
Grafton. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this hy-
pothesls. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps, but by
sheer ingenuity and the simplest sort
Of artiflces. A monkey has various vul-
nerable points Of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and a truly won
derful initiative faculty.
A trapper can take pair of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight of a monkey and soon have

his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here is where
the monkey is mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
scends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside Is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast;
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain a gourd,
filed with corn or some other eatable,
to heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes it, and
wants more. There is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand into the
small opening in the gourd and his
fingers close around large supply of
the food Then he finds himself I'M
able to withdraw his hand. The trap

key, because the animals thinking
cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedient Of releasing
the food never occurs to him as q
means of escape.

HOW WEALTH GIVES COURAGE
Man Who Has q Few Dollars In tho

Who ls PenniIess.

tract dollars. Fear always makes a
man think he Is weak, a nobody. 1t
always pictures the worst; sees no
light ahead"
We hear a great deal these days
about efIlclency-and about ineffi-
cheney. The fellow who has saved few
dollars and has them in the bank or
where he can put his hand upon them,
Is more efficient than the fellow who Is
penniless, declares the Dayton News.
Start out to find a job with never a
dollar in your pocket. Youn have a
hard time. You appear at a disad-
vantage when you approach business
man. You feel your dependence. You
have a cowardly air about you-an
inefficient air. You realize that you
will have to accept anything that is Of
fered. You are in no position to look
the business man in the face and tell
him your qualifications. Want Is at
your back, causing you to cringe.
But with money In your pockets you
assume different attitude. You real
ize that you are, to that extent, inde-
pendent. You meet the business man
more nearly upon an equal footing.
You are more courageous, more self
assertive, more efficient. You know
that you are not compelled to accept
the first job offered you. You can
discuss wages and contracts, and con-
ditions Of employment, If you are not
broke" So, If for no other reason,
the young man should seek first of all
to have bank account, to have some
thing right in the beginning. 1t is even
more important than to save some
thing toward the end.

The struggle between them lasted n
week-a CHASTITY week, during which,
so far as the surface OF things showed,
their life flowed along In its accus-
toned channels. But ut all sorts of
times, and in all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed. q
The hardest thing about 1t all for
Rose-the thing that came nearest to
breaking down her courage-was to
see how slowly Rodney came to realize
1t at all. He was like a trapped ami
NAL pacing the four sides of his cage,
confident that In moment or two he
would find the way out, and then, lp-
credulously, dazedly, coming to the sur

where his care and protection could

end of one of their long talks, 1t would
seem to her that he had grasped this
monstrous intention and accepted it.
But before the beginning of the next
one, he seemed to manage, somehow,
to dismiss the thing as a nightmare.
Somehow or other, during the ealmer
moments toward the end, practical de-
tails managed TO get talked about
settled after a fashion, without the ad-
mission really being made on his part
that the thing was going to happen at
all.

demanded. "Have you any plan at

omission.

Heroic Books.

Life is not habitually seen from any
common platform so truly and unexae.
geratedly as in the light Of literature.
Books, not which afford us covering
enjoyment, but in which each thought
is of unusual daring; such as an idle
man cannot read, and timld ono
would not be entertained by, which
even make us dangerous to existing ln-
stitutions-such l call good books.
The heroic books, even If print.
