ARMY MANNERS AND MORALS When Secretary Taft returns from the Philippines pretty nearly the first business which ho will find upon I1I3 desk calling for actlori is the need of calling various courts of inquiry which It will be necessary to order in re gard to the testimony given by army officers in the Taggart divorce case. Nobody expects, as Kipling has pointed out in regard to the army private, that army officers shall bo "plaster of paris saints." But tho articles of war themselves require that the holder of a commission shall bo a gentleman a"s well as an officer. Scandal and all that follows scandal to tho final end of divorce proceed ings are inevitable wherever men and women, more or less idle and lacking moral restraint, are brought together. But it is not so much the morals in the evidence in the Taggart case j which are shocking as the personal license and unrestrained conduct laid baro at an army post by the evidence of officers on both sides. Much was evidently due to the lamentable fact that the post where most of this oc curred had a commanding officer of whom the best that can be said is that he was weak, while the worst charged by a brother officer in a dep osition at the trial is as bad as can be alleged by one man against any man. But throughout the evidence which relates to conduct in Porto Rico, in Chicago, in San Francisco and in the Philippines, at army, quarters and army society, has shown a lack of respect for the ordinary conventions and propieties of life, such as is in a sense perfectly well understood by sensible men worse than actual im morality. There are cases where It is, in a true sense, worse to be-vul-gar and vicious than to bo vicious alone. The army has been enlarged two and a half fold in tho last seven years. Tho corresponding increase in the number of officers has made it neces sary to give commissions, to a large number of men of whom in the nature of things little could be known and who knew little themselves of the restraint required of an officer. Sec retary Taft can do no greater service for the morality of the army than by prompt and vigorous action, which shows that the secretary of war, at least, is aware of the code and man ners, if not of conduct, which must control officers if an army is to main tain its discipline and retain the re spect of the nation it defends, all of whose citizens desire to believe that every officer is a gentleman.

Daniel McDonald told a Journal man the story of tho capture. "A weok ago," he said, "in a dead calm, Dowdy and I put off in a dory. Wo had rowed but a short distance from the ship when wo saw this fish rising, and as ho reached the surface I put a harpoon into him. Then I saw that ho was like no swordfish that ever lived. He tore around In tho water, creating enormous waves, and then dashed at the boat. He hit It a num ber of times with his body, but his sword was so short In proportion that ho waB unable to uso it. "Then he started to run away. The lino grow taut, and wo tore through the water like a torpedo boat. Twen ty knots we did if wo did one, and dories aren't made to stand a strain like that. "After a while it tried to ease up. but each time wo pull' 1 taut on tho rope. This finally tired him out. Ho was bleeding all the time, and at last, five hours after wo harpooned him, he turned over. Then wo started to pull back to the ship. She was fully ten miles away, and the monster, which weighed 1,400 pounds, was not easy to move, even in tho water. Wo finally got back, completely tired out. It was a great victory."

Some or the worst in stances have happened near legisla tive halls. Ever hear the story of the man who, while walking through tho fields, came to a nigh stone wall? "I'll jump it!" ho exclaimed. In order to get a good start no backed off a mile, and then ran with all his might until he reached the wall. But AVhen he reached it lie was too 'tired to jump, so he lay down In its shade and went to sleep. That's the way a great many of us are about our work. We spend so much time and effort getting ready to do something" that when we get to it we are too tired. tixlumco. wranil v ewi of hcc nory, Rtorlcn r udventuro rind full inlnlnjr ro portn oky.

THE SKILLAGALEE Eiehteen feet from the tip of his snout to the tail, the largest fish that was ever brought into T wharf came in yesterday on the Ida Silva, sword fishermen, having been captured after a fight only equaled by John Boyle O'Reilly's "fight with the amber whale." For twelve miles the mons ter towed a dory containing Everett Dowdy and Daniel McDonald, who had harpooned It, thinking it was a sword-J fish. A score of times it turned and attacked the boat, a hundred times it sought the bottom, endeavoring to pull the frail dory down after it and only being prevented by the length of the harpoon rope. The fish was styled a skillagalee or large billfish by the authorities on T wharf, but never before was one of the species known to grow to half its size All day yesterday the animal was on exhibition at the store of the Glou cester Fish company In Atlantic ave nue, and a wondering crowd marveled it its proportions. Its tail measured six feet when ' extended, its side fin was nearly two feet long and its huge .GUARANTEED WATCH for '3 A btnvfld ffT bj AsuriM'f mttwt sull order wUk bout, tfc M mUIBiU-1 M m1UU K.
