A slender acquaintance with the world must eonvince every man that actions, not words, are the true cri- terion of the attachment of friends; and that the most liberal professions of good-will are very far from being the surest marks of it.—George Washe ington. Departure Approved. “I understand your boy Josh is ex- perimenting on the lines of perpetual motion.” “Yes,” replied Farmer Corn- tossel. “And I feel some encourage- ment about it. T thought for awhile that the only thing Josh was goin’ to take in was perpetual rest.” Caution, “I wish,” said the dashing bride, “that we could arrange to take our wedding trip in an airship.” “I don’t know,” replied the cautious youth, “whether it would be well to- take chances on being obliged to take our first falling out so seriously.” First Book on Education. The first book on education ever Written and printed in English was Sir Thomas Elyot’s “Governour,” publish ed in 1531. Much that is done even at this day for the education of boys and girls in the schools was suggested In this book. Vipers still Plague France. One of the divisions of France, tha department of Seine-et-Marne, has is- sued its snake killing budget, It shows that vipers are almost as numerous 2s ever before in the Ile de France. They are commonest in the forest of Fontainebleau, where one gamekeep- er alone killed 1,818 in the course of last year. For this he was paid $125, and in all the department paid $550 in the year, being a reward of seven cents for each viper’s head presented. Nearly 8,000 were killed during the year. Took an Unfair Advantage. Doctor Graham, physiclan in London, once conceived the plan of burying persons up to their necks in the earth and leaving them there for some hours as a cure for some diseases. George Dyer, it is said, in despair of anyone listening to him read his own poetry, took advan. tage of the situation of Doctor Gras ham’s patients and read to them all the while they were stuck in the earth. Severe Criticism, Dr. Hedge and Dr. Bartol spent a summer together down east. One Sun- day Dr. Bartol preached to a congre gation largely composed of fishermen, Dr. Hedge was curlous to know the ef-| fect upon them, and asked one old| salt what he thought about the preach. Ing and the sermon. The reply wa: “Well, his idea was absurd, and his language was preposterous.” Dictaphone Not New. The dictaphone which as been used in obtaining evidence in recent years is not altogether a new invention. The expression “Walls have ears” origin. ated a long time ago when buildings were constructed having hidden tubes in the walls, so that what persons were saylng in one room could be heard in another. Original Sextet. “1 wonder who really made up that original sextet we hear so ‘much about?” “The original sextet was com< posed of Helen of Troy, Sappho, Cleo- patra, Mme. du Barry; Lucretia Bor- gla and Delilah. They were all trou- ble-makers.”—Louisville Cqurier-Jours nal, Words of Welght. , “The anclents used to write in clay | end then bake it.” “Yes,” replied the man who was reading the latest speech. ‘In thoge days when' “they #poke of hurling epithets at a man it meant something.” Eloquence Not Always Persuasion: “Bloquence,” sald ‘Uncle Eben, “ia llable to deceive ‘de man: dat:-has it.

MARD BEDS IN BARE ROOMS 8implicity and Discipline Carried ‘to the Extreme in Quarters” Where the Cadets Live—Further Economy Not Neéded. By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—Most of the meinbers ©of the house committe on military' at- fairs soon will be designated to’act a8 ‘a board of visitors to the United States military academy to'study the institution and to make recommenda- tions for changes. It will be a case of civilians offering suggestions to the soldier superintendent ‘and commar- dant. It is . possible that ‘Speaker, Champ Clark may have membership on the visiting board. 3 Members of congress seem to thlnk that the cadet rooms at West Poit| are fitted up like the rooms of million-j tire students at Yale and Harvard. Some of the legislators who have'| read Ouida have an.idea that Uncle| Sam'’s soldler wards recline in the lap | of an oriental luxury like unto'that in Wwhich lolled the Honorable Bertie Ce- | cil of the Guard. Speaker Clark’s mental picture of & cadet’s room at the military -acad- emy probably includes a Turkish car- pet, two divans, six rocking chairs, two mahogany tables, lambrequins and curtains, spring beds, hair mat:.| tresses, down pillows, hat and. cold running water, a bathroom annex and & fountain pldying perfume from reveille to taps and from taps to revellle. The speaker was a poor boy, but ‘when some cadet takes him into quar- ters and shows him the combined bed- soom, washroom, sitting-room and #tudy-room . which'-the West "Pohiter | uses, the hardships of Mr. _Clark's early life Will séem like a dream ‘of | rose leaves. Here's the Way Cadets Live. * The speaker will be shown into a room with four bare walls, curtainless windows, rugless floors™ ‘and table-| clothless tables. If Mr. Clark be bare- foot when he enters that room he:will get splinters in his feet, but he won’t get them dirty, for a speck of dirt:on that bare floor would cost the ‘cadet occupant of the room three days’ lib- erty. There is a liberal coat of white- wash on the walls of the rooms of the If a reckless cadet should hang a picture on the wall, even though it were a picture of his dead mother, he’d be shut up a week in quarters and walk ten extra Buard tours for introducing:the “ener- vating influence of art into the life of the soldier.” It Speaker Clark should be inclined | to examine the beds he will find that they are hard, that the mattress is about two inches thick and that the pillows in size are- like -unto.-:that which the man in the vaudeville per- formance doing a Pullman sleeping car stunt pulls out of his ear after a_ long hunt in the berth. *He may also notice that the cadet washstand is of pine, dear at 50 cents; that his: water pitcher is a bucket and that his com- bined drinking. eup, tooth mug. and medicine glass-1s'a gourd dipper. ©* It is possible that the speaker will elso notice that the two cadet occu- pants of the room have no chairs to offer visitors. They have one straight-backed affair each, so straight-- backed, in fact, that the occupants can’t lounge ‘aut of the position: of a | soldier if they desire. No Chance for Reclining. Mr. Clark may also notice, and if he doesn’t the room’s occupants may: call hfs attention to it, that the bed cloth-" ing is all neatly piled at the top of the bed, and that the mattress is folded back, while between it and the foot the bars upon which the bed rests when it is made down for slur the cadet who wishes to recline luxur- do it on wire; for-if ‘e makes ‘down his bed for the purpose of lounging at full length ‘he'M'get ‘ten days guardhouse. - . When the spesker “gets ‘Washington he may tell his ¢ something about the cadet’s surround- ings. Then the wise ones who have had the Ouida idea of a soldier’s quar- fers will say that the present condi- tlon is a fine thing for the. . boys;and that they. ought not tu ba g ven;any- mng better. . “There has been no;let-up:is the grip o! the old iron hand:of dfscipline and stmplicity at West Point since the mew barracks were- built, There are 11 bare floors, whitewashed ' walls, ard beds, straight-bac! wooden water bucket: rs.
