PLATOON COMMANDS.

When the company is in line, to form
columns of platoons, the command is,
s'Platoons right QefD." This is exc
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face to the right
i'm marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
place themselves abreast of the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
the third man from the right in each
platoon followed in column by the
second and first) moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
in marching and mark time. The re-
naming men of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four PAGES,
Oblique to the right, place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
Before executing this movement with
platoons, the captain makes It point
to see that the guides on the flank
toward which the movement is to turn
are covering-that is, are in straight
row, SO that the pivot men, whose po-
sitions are governed by those of the
guides, will also be in straight row,
which will bring the platoons into a
precise column. This is effected by
previously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command, "Platoons
right Qeft), MARCH" the concluding
command is to the company as q
whole-"Forward, MARCH," or "Com-
pany, HALT"

Are We Living Too Fast?

Life in the great centers of the Unit
ed States has gained such impetus
that it makes few pauses in it's rush
toward its own destruction. It hur-
ries us along in it's current of excite
ment, battering us against jagged
rocks that jut across it from all an
giles, poisoning us, polluting our blood
with emotions that eat up red corpus
cles, and draining our sensibilities of
their natural responsiveness.
Waste of physical energy is scarcely
worse than waste of mental forces.
Life ceases to be enjoyable that mo-
ment in which we leave off wondering
at 1t, when it no longer surprises us
when it no longer has unexplored Wis
tas, unexpected romances and adven-
lures, when our jaded palates are cal
loused beyond the possibility Of antici-
pation.-Exchange.

rooms. Last year they invaded the ball
parks, especially the Cub park, and
this year there is a well-defined betting
section, where the gamblers congregate
and draw betters.
SIN Boston this evil has existed ever
since the sport started. 1t has been a
recognized industry. The gamblers are
known, and the fact that they have
powerful political backing also is
known-which may account for the
fact that the loud promises to wipe
them out never have been executed.

combine that one friend Of mine, an
outsider, who attempted to operate
there, was ordered out Of town by po-
litical powers, not because he was a
gambler, but because the rival gam
blers insisted upon it. He is operating
in another city now, and is doing a
tremendous business.
'In Pittsburgh there has been an
other hotbed of gamblers, which is in
the grandstands, and which goes on
almost unmOleSted. In Cleveland gam
bling became rampant last year. In
Detroit the profession found one Of
the best fields because of the disor-
ganized condition of the entire city,
especially the police force. The gam
blerS have not worked so openly in
the stands, but they are accommodating
their crowds in two sections at pres
ent.
"Such conditions are certain to re-
suit in uprisings such as took place in
Boston. They are even more certain
to result eventually in the corruption
of players.
"Queerly, the powers that rule base
ball have thought the best remedy for
this gambling evil is whitewash-on
which it thrives. Baseball and gam
bling cannot prosper side by side,,
whether in partnership or not-and
when gambling, backed by politics
comes in, good night"
