That night just after "tattoo.” the first ser geant appeared and told the recruit that the company commander wanted to see him at once in the orderly room. The recruit went to the presence of the commissioned officer and stood attention as he had stood attention as a cadet a thousand times before. The cap tain looked him up and down. "I understand.” he said, "that this is your first enlistment; that you have never been a national guard; that you hare never been a marine and that you never attended a private military school.” The recruit acquiesced with a respectful "Yes. sir.” "About face.” The recruit made an about face, and then at a repetition of the command, again faced the captain, who was grinning. "Go to your quarters,” said the command ing officer. The recruit went and in ten minutes the top sergeant was there, saying: "You can't fool the old man. You've been made a lance corporal and you go on guard as corporal of the third relief tomorrow morning." There are a good many officers in the United States army today who served for a at the military academy as cadets, bat who were cetnpii^d'to stay five years at the academy in order to get their commissions. hav ing been "turned back" Into the class next below them either for deficiency ia studies or for breaches of discip.ine. U General Sheridan had not been given another chance after he had engaged in a little affair which was considered a breach of discipline while he was a cadet the wonder is who would have been the right-hand cavalry leader of Grant during the Civil war. A few merits ago Gem Hamilton tv Haw kins died. He entered the military academy some time prior to the opening of the Civil war. bat the authorities did not allow him to graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke out he offered his services to his country and was given a commission. He staid in the reg ular army until the time cf his death and so strong was his love of the military academy that before his death he asked that he might be buried in the cadet cemetery. It was Haw kins' custom each year when he could get away from his command to visit the school where be had spent three years of his boy hood. He had just ss strong a love for the Institution as did any graduate la the army. Recently there has been a disposition on the part of the graduates of the military acad emy to give more consideration to the men who spent some time at the school, but who did not graduate. One class organ ration In cludes in its membership all the cadets who at any time were members of the class, and no distinction is made between graduate and non graduate. even the offices of the organization being open to men who did not complete the course. Other class organizations are said to be preparing to follow the example of that of the members of 1SS4 and if the custom of taking into full brotherhood the non-graduates be comes gtneral the belief Is that good will come to the academy and the country. Statue of Liberty Grafters If the visitors who paid good money to a soldier for the privilege of climbing up the steps of the statue of Liberty had only known about the sixty-second article of war they never would have graduated from the dead head class on a reservation belonging to Uncle Sara, the New York Herald says. As it is. under the last general order from the war de partment two soldiers who levied tribute are doomed to penal servitude for their specula tive enterprise. According to the army orders. Axel T. Holm, a first-class private of G company, sig nal corps, ar.d Edward A. Bagnall. of the same grade and command, organised a syndi cate for the exploitation of the French evi dence of friendship for America, which, fol lowing the actual language of the order, oper ated. as to Holm, after this fashion: “He. the said lioim. did designedly and fraudulently obtain money from certain vis itors to the statue of liberty, fees for the privi lege of going up into said statue, by know ingly making false pretenses that such fees were necessary.” And as to the enterprising Bagnall: “That he did knowingly assist in fraudu lently obtaining money irom visitors to the statue of Liberty by acting as a "lookout' with the duty of actually giving warning to the man collecting the fees in case an officer were approaching." All of this, according to the charges and specifications upon which conviction was made, and approval then passed, violated the sixtv seiond article of war. In the case o.' Holm the department orders his dishonorable discharge and his confinement for two years at Fort Leavenwortk. Ragnall gets off with redaction to the grade of private, four months' confine ment and the forfeiture of $13 a month. He will work his sentence out around the base of the statue, cleaning up such Utter as the trib uttless visitors see fit to make. The evidence showed that the two men ar ranged a scheme to tax ail visitors ten cents a head for the pleasure ot climbing to the head of the goddess, with the ever-burning torch, and the story was printed exclusively in the Her aki at the time. While one of them took in the toll the other lingered about to give the collector a tip If an ofiicer chanced to be bear ing down upon the post exchange. Capt. i>. J Carr, commanding the post, is very proud of this pretty shew station, and he broke up the game just as soon as he found what was in the air. STREET TRAFFIC OF PARIS. There are nearly half a million horses and motor vehicles of all kinds in Paris today, with 30.00.> hand carts and 9.0 JO wheelbarrows. In 1909 63.870 accidents were caused in the Paris streets by 81.868 vehicles. These statistics are contained in a report drawn up by M. Emile Massard at the request of the Paris municipal council on the incumbcrtr.ent of the Paris streets. » One of M.

Father Point, Que—Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen and Ethel Clara Le Xeve, his stenographer who fled from London after the disappearance of Belle Elmore, the doctor's wife, were arrested here Sunday aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Montrose, at the command of Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard. The identification of the long sought fugitives on board the tog shrouded steamer by the English de tective. who had raced across the At lantic ahead of the Montrose, marked the culmination of one of the most sensational flights in recent criminal annals. Accompanied by two Cana dian officers he boarded the vessel at >:hu o'clock in the morning, and fif teen minutes later both man and girl were locked in their state rooms, Crippen. broken in spirit, but mental ly relieved by the relaxed tension; the girl, garbed in boy's clothes, sob bing hysterically.

Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the Mont rose pushed her cose through the fog and at S:15 the pilot boat Eureka sit out from shore. She carried a host of newspaper men and photographers and the more fortunate townspeople who were able to crowd aboard. Four sailors quickly rowed the ten der alongside the Montrose and Pew and his companions stepped aboard. Crippen was standing cear the rail talking with Dr. Stuart, the ship's surgeon, and apparently calm. But that he was nervous was indicated by his glance and his remark to Dr. Stuart. “There are three pilots com ing aboard." he said, nervously. "Is that not unusual7" "Crippen. I want you." said Inspec tor Dew quietly, as he approached. The dentist recoiled involuntarily as he recognized the man who addressed him. then the blood left his face, his breath came short and fast and he gurgled incoherently as he was being led away to the captain's cabin, whence he was transferred later to his own stateroom, he said gratefully, ''Thank God. the suspense is over and I am glad." Crippen's arrest accomplished. Dew hurried to Miss I.eneve's state room where he found her still dressed as "John Robinson, jr.," on the verge of nervous breakdown. Her appearance when confronted by the detective and told that she was under arrest was pitiable. All control that she had fought so hard to retain throughout the voyage left her. She cried out hysterically and became so faint that restoratives were administered. Shut in her room and restored to woman's d-ess. she was closely guarded as the vessel continued its journey, for fear that she would take her life or col lapse utterly. It was more than four hours after she faced the detective that the girl was able to sit up. Even then her condition w-ss pitiful, and no one saw her earect the ship surgeon and the stewardess.
