The Democracy OF The Trenches

the leadership of democracy, that
makes the men love their leaders and
follow them with eagerness-
The officer who will lead his men,
taking them nowhere except where
he would 20 and sharing all their
dangers, Is the man who has learned
thoroughly the lesson OF Kipling's
Brushwood Boy.
When the engagements are over
and officers and men lie wounded to-
gether the officer who has led his
men will not take advantage Of his
rank and insist upon having his own
wounds treated first
Charles NJ. Whitehair, in the
American Magazine, tells an instance
that came under the observation Of
a Y. n. C. A. secretary. Mr.. White
hair says: lone Of our secretaries
saw q wounded colonel sitting out In
front Of a dressing station one day,
and asked him why he didn't go I'm
and have his wounds attended to.
"'Oh,' he said. 1t isn't my turn
YET"
No decent fellow would take adj
vantage of another man because his
rank would entitle him to prefer
ence. AS the record is being written
it il being shown day by day that our
officers are decent fellows.
This Is the democracy that counts.

8ndyard Kipling, in his Brush

he says that the chief lesson the boy

No decent fellow, for instance, will
disregard the rights of his neighbor.

There are two conceptions Of army
government. One IL that which drives
men forward. Another is that which
leads them.
The commander who rules accor-
ding to the first theory says, go ON"
and puts his pistol In the hollow OF
another mans back. The command

theory says, Come ONT" and calls to
his men to follow.

MILITARY ESSAYS

There are many cute diver

Alphabetically. This is not q

like Lotto and Authors, but q

and Biltmores extremely happy
and the Youngs and Woods very
disseminated. No matter what
the occasion, IL a soldier has
something coming from pay to
underwear, he lines up alphabet
icaIly. Thus it is that the An
sons are the best looking SOL

IL they had tramped in all the

NEW SOLDIERS HAVE 12O
DAYS IN WHICH TO INSURE

One hundred and twenty days, or
four months, is the time limit al
lowed soldiers who have recently
Joined the colors to take out govern
ment insurance.
The wise soldier will take out q
policy for as large an amount as he
can at the earliest possible moment.
The sooner he takes out insurance,
the sooner he can feel that whatever
may betide him, the women and chill
dren dependent upon him Will be
properly taken care Of. In case he
does not come back the money will
be paid by the government to his de-
pendents. In the event he Ii totally
disabled the amount Of the policy
will be paid to him.
No soldier should let the one hum
dred and twenty day limit elapse
without taking out insurance. The
rates are unusually low for the sub
stantial amounts Of insurance. In
each camp and cantonment there II
an officer who will be glad to furnish
all desired information about govern
ment insurance for soldiers.
Latest figures announced by the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the
Treasury Department in Washington
showed that 100000 soldiers, sail
ors and nurses had insured theiZ lives
for a total of $14,000,O 10000 The
average amount of the policies was
$500.

orlqIn of Scottish Festival.

The origin of "hogmanay," which used to be so dear to the youth ofiScot- land, ay, and to the auld folks, too, has given rise to endless discussion. The following correspondence has .ap- peared in the Scotsman as to the origin of the custom and the name:
 "The derivation Hagia-mene, the holy moon, has been suggested, the period of which corresponded to our December. Some. with considerable plauSlbllity, derive It from the Latin, Hoe In Anno, a persuasive to charity which reminded well-to-do patrons that the year had all but run its course, but that there was still time to relieve their needy supplicants. It is not im- probable that the term Is of Teutonic origin. It may be connected with Hoegtld, a name applied to Christmas and (or) other festivities. Hoeg-tide day would thus mean the laettlssimus dies, or gladdest season of the year."

PEANUT PUT TO MANY USES
Nutritious OH and Palatable Butter Derived From the Humble "Goob.
 er," Beloved of Childhood. ....

The peanut isn't nut at all, but a member of the pea, bean and clover family. It is legume and gathers nitrogen from the air. Peanuts do not grow from roots, but on shoots which grow out from the plant above ground, bear little sterile yellow blossom and then shoot directly into the ground, where they peg" that is, where pea nuts begin to grow on them. The pea nuts are pulled from the vines or roots, and the roots are then plowed back Into the ground to allow the nitrogen to feed the soil. The peanuts are then taken 10 peanut factories. In these buildings the peanuts are cleaned and sorted. The largest are saved and put through n rumbler, which pollshes. the shells. These are sold In the shells. Other first grades are shelled and sold for saltlng; and one big packing com pany buys only first grades for peanut butter.
 If the peanuts are pulled roots and all, the peanuts are dried out by stack ing on poles, then pulled off and sold. Broken peanuts are pressed and the oil extracted. Much of this oil is sold as "pure olive oil" In fact, 1t Is quite as rich and nutritious as olive oil. The refuse Is pressed into cakes and sold as oil cakes Tor feeding stock and especially dairy cows.-St. Nicholas.

WHEN CITY WAS HARD UP"
New Ycrk once Sought Legislative Authority to Run Lottery to
 Secure Needed Funds.

A hitherto unpublished letter of De Witt Clinton, written in 1S0a to John Plntard, clerk Of the common council while AIr. Clinton was In the New York state senate, on legislative bills regarding city improvements, was re- gently discovered in an interesting w,ly during the editing of the New York coihmon council minutes from 1TS4 to 1891. The chief topic of in- terest In the letter Is reference to a bill introduced at the request of the common council asking that the leg iSlature authorize lottery for $l0O,- 900 for the purpose of raising sufti- cient funds for the completion of the present city hall. ...
 Dr. A. Everett Peterson, editor of the common council minutes, found a reference to the letter in the minutes of the period and instituted a>search for 1t. His hunt was rewarded by finding 1t among mass of loose pa- pers in the custody of the city clerk and It has been reproduced ID nc slmile with the minutes of 1909, pub lished In the fifth volume of the print ed minutes. The letter Is dated from Albany, March 12. 1909. Mir. Clinton was mayor of New York city and also state senator, the mayor then being appointed by the governor, and MT. Clinton held the office several years. On the subject of the lottery for com- pletlng the city hall, Mir. Clinton said:
 "There appears to be determine ton In the legislature not to grant any more lotteries. The memorial of the common council praying for one has been committed In the assembly, and a bill has been introduced, but there Is no hope of its passing" .,

ALEUT YOUNGSTERS AT PLAY
Manage 10 Have Periods of "Fun," Much as Do the Children of More
 Favored Nations.

The Aleut boys and girls are very like boys and girls in the States when you get under the furs and dirt and brown skins. They like fun as well as our children. One Of them writes: "I was at Atka all last win ter. I trapped two blue fox, which l am sending down to have sold for me. also learned how to use gun. Yes terday we went out with one of the teachers and l killed an eagle. The marshal gave me 70 cents for killing 1t because, he said, was girl"
 Picking melinas Qarge raspberries) Is favorite occupation. The bushes grow on the side of the mountain, and to pick the berries one must either sit down and dig his heels into the bank or lie down and hang on with one hand. In spite of care the picker often takes an involuntary coast down the hill, Bosholes, pitfalls and mountain creeks add to the difficulties of the quest.
 Clam digging is another change from home life that Is welcomed by the children. They do this when, as one of the small boys said, "the tide is get ting downer and dOwner." Salmon catching and curing Is another help to the family larder.-Alice NJ. Guernsey in World Outlook.
