f I A3 . V rft- . fiff I "T- Jar For th Egotivb Thtt world has troubled of Its own, Nor has it time to atop To bother aa It Jogs along, About your trouble crop. Nor Is It always sate to try The sympathies to win , Of the police, for like na not They'll only run you In. You think when something comes atom That savors of disgrace The world stands 'round a day or two To gossip on your case, To chow the tender morsel tine And call the flavor prime And talk about you In Its' sleep. But, pshaw, It hasn't time! The moon and stars do not stand still, The sun don't hesitate. The neighbors do not loaf around And for the details wait. Perhaps a few old sosslpers With nothing else to do Hay talk It over once or twice, But what are they to you? Tho world has too much on Its mind In making night and day A decent living for Itself Tour sad misdeeds to flay. So cheer up, though you may havi slipped, " And tako another brace, i ' Hot ono In fifty, maybe less, lias heard of your disgrace. Taken at His Word.

Te Make the Best Citizens a Wall m the Bast Soldiers. The cadet of today has to leara geod many more things than did hk predecessors. He is not merely marched about the parade in smart drills, dressed in tight uniforms, as of yore, but has to go out on prac tice marches in full campaign outht, to groom horses, harness pack mules, earry light artillery up mountain aides for artillery practice, dig trenches, live in shelter tents, quali fy at the target ranges, make topo graphical maps in the field, visit the great arsenals, practice with heavy guns at the seacoast forts, work out tactical problems under arms ad vance guards, outposts and minor tactical maneuvers all this practi cal work in addition to the regular drills, field engineering, pontooning and signaling. In his academic study he has had to learn a great deal of electrics, ordinance construction, sanitation, new engineering meth ods, mapmaking and buijding con struction that had no existence in the old course, and his studies are being remodeled along the lines of the most advanced technological schools, but with special reference to military requirements. Then he must learn to read and speak Spanish, besides acquiring a good knowledge of French and of technical drawing. Ho must know military and consti tutional law well and something about common law, about chemis try, the laws of mechanics, accous tics, optics and astronomy, and, of course, this means a good founda tion in mathematics. But, above all, the academy seeks to make a man of him a sound, healthy, high minded, well disci plined citizen and soldier and, like the Greeks and Bomans of old, West Point esteems the making of character, together with the vigor and discipline of the body, as of equal importance with mind train ing. It undertakes thut he shall be kept away from dissipations and shall have n healthy, well devoloped body, that lie shall be held respon sible for every act and word, that he shall understand the laws of his country and his duties as a citizen and that he shall know his job as a soldier. "The corps" sees to it that ho is held to the traditions of honor, truth telling, courage and fair play, which arc its heritage from the past. Colonel Lamed in St. Nich olas, Memory, Not Mystery, "Memory can play the strangest of tricks," says a specialist, "and it it responsible for not a few super stitious fears in sensitive people. "A lady once told me that she found herself at time3 in places where her Btirroundings seemed to have been known to her before, though she knew that she had never been there previously. Probably you will recognize this experience, which is common enough. How many people, when reading or lis tening to a conversation, become vaguely conscious that they have read the passage or heard the iden tical words in 'the dim, long past!' "It is not a haunting mystery, but just a way' that memory has. In numerable impressions of the moat trivial things are Btored in the brain and will come out when called upon. In the lady's case Bhe had probably seen a picture of the scene at some time, and a view of the actual placo produced memory's feeble effort to recall it." J. B. Kennedy returned Tuesday from a week's trip over the division in ' specting new work on the wires. - Humor ma Philosophy r MINCAN N. SMITM DID YOU EVER NOTICE That after you have listened over and over again In sympathetic mood to the woes of a friend you begin to feel like a hypocrite? That by and by the slow convictloa Is forced upon you that you are n hyp ocrlte every time you Rive the sympa thetic car? That Inevitably a point is reached when you feel a most unholy desire to say to your companion that you don't know of anything that he needs half as much as a good beating up? That tho more you feel so the deeper the wretch goes Into the details of his misery and the more desperately ho claims your sympathy and your back ing? That the deeper grows your own hu miliation In listening and the more he takes It as n salve to his wretched ness? That you get a reputation for being a good consoler and for giving sweet comfort when all the time you are boiling over with the determination to make an end of it and put In some good lick in the Interest of common ease?
