SIMPLE MATTER TO EXPLAIN
As 1t Happened, However, 1t Was
Rather Embarrassing to One
Idle Student

Professor Quincy was one of tn,
most genial Instructors and the mos
skillful of disciplinarians. AS a teach
er Quincy was always kind an6
courteous, but nevertheless a terror
to drones and evildoers.
For example, take the case Of q
student who was afterward a distn.
guished professor in the medical
school. We were reading Cicero's
Episties. In the lesson for the day
he was describing scene in court
when 1t was evident that in the morn

had been suborned and instructed
what to testify. 1 win call the stu
dent Drake. BE had not looked at
his lesson, and when called upon be-
gan to translate until he came to this
passage.
He could make nothing of it. but
looked up with helpless air and said,
Il don't think l understand this pas
sage" Quincy bowed, and with the
utmost suavity said: ut means, Mr..
Drake, that they had learned their
lesson before they came in In the
morning."
As that was exactly what it did
mean, the fellows set up a shout and
Drake dropped into his seat.-Har-

The Lane family decided to help out
the mother of the family by decreas-
Ing the amount of table linen in the
weekly washing. Each member who
spilled something on the cloth was re-
CURED to cover 1t with piece Of mon
ey-of the exact size of the spot.
Twice ten-year-old Fred was compelled
to hand in a quarter from his paper
money. Then one day he came home
from the store with his pocket jingling
full Of money.
At the very beginning of the meal he
dropped bit of gravy. Soon after
ward a piece Of tomato followed the
gravy. Still he showed no concern.
His older sister reminded him of the
agreement. "Oh, guess I'll walt I'M

Every one was surprised because on
other occasions he had showed much
concern over his accidents. But when

MILITIA TO BE MUSTERED OUT.

Though the closing of the camp al
Sea Grit, on Saturday, practically
marks the end of the activities of the
New Jersey State Militia, which it is
expected will be mustered out as soor
as the new National Guard units are
organized to take over the emergency
work for which the State Militia was
formed two years, its existence has
led to the training of force of men
who will be well qualified to respond
to any emergency in the State, ac-
cording to letter which Adjutant
General Frederick Gilkyson sent to
Governor Runyon upon the closing of
the summers encampment of the
State Militia units. The Adjutant
General declared that the encamp-
ment periods were highly beneficial.
His letter follows:
To-day witnesses the closing of the
summer work at the New Jersey
State camp grounds at Sea Girt.
1.-THE school of instruction for Off
GERS and non-commissioned officers of
the State Militia was an exceptionally
beneficial one. The average attend
ance during the week was $50. Those
who were permitted to be in attend
ance entered into the spirit of the
camp with zest and earnestness, thus

gramme laid down with entire salts
faction, and am sure with the most
beneficial results to the officers and
men.
"The training received at this
school was evidenced in the encamp-
ment of the various battalions which
follow in successive weeks, the major
ity of the officers and non-commission-
ed officers showing splendid qualif-
cations to perform the duties of in
structing the men assigned to their
charge, with the result that within a
very brief time after arriving mi
camp the organizations were in full
sway, not only exhibiting marked
degree of efficiency in. their military
instruction, but to a great extent
were entirely able to function for
themselves.
"The course of instruction followed
in the school and during the encamp-
ment was similar to that prescribed
by the War Department and while but
fundamental in its scope has prepared
both officers and men to more readily
acquire knowledge of advanced mill
tary training.
"The esprit de corps of the organi-
cations was perfect and even if the
units may cease to exist as State mi |
litia, it is my judgment that the
splendid spirit shown by these men
assures US for number of years to
come that we can call to arms at any
time an army of citizen soldiers per-
fectly capable of protecting the inter-
ests of the State against any emer-
gencies." y
