Their lives have been consumed in routine in which any drill master could have done as well. No wonder then that they envy the chances that the young army officer now has to show his metal. They would have rung true too had they been tried. The continuous deathless presence of valour and of military genius whether tried or not, in our American soldiery is exactly whatconstitutes its strength. Like the king, it can never die, though to the post commander who has inherited military geniusand is not called upon to exercise it, it can not be especially gratifying that the next century will afford the successor to his genius an opportunity to save his country. Something of the theos ophic theory of the development of genius in one state and body of exist ence for which the conditions were unfavorable in another and previous one might help the officer without an army to be reconciled to his life-long Inactivity. Rural free delivery of mail is en joyed, it is said, by every country in the world except the United States and the Central and South American states. One hundred and fifty-seven petitions from thirty-five states and territories are on file asking the ex tension of the free delivery service. Free daily delivery of mail to farmers will increase the total amount of mail handled. The farmers will subscribe for more papers and their wives and daughters will write more letters be cause they will get the answers more promptly. The reception of a daily mail will bring the country nearer the city, decrease the isolation, and make it easier to keep the boys on the farm. But in considering the effect of the extension on a time-honored institu tion the Kansas City Star says: Doubtless the free delivery system will prove as muchof a convenience in the country as in the town, but the change will destroy the dignity and prestige of a great American institu tionthe postofflce. To go to the postofflce has been considered in this country about the first useful task that Infant legs can try, and the jour ney to the postofflce and back has been among the last occupations of tremb ling and tottering age. What youth and age will do when they no longer go to the postoffce but the postofflce comes to them, it is hard to conjec ture. The postmaster will certainly find his importance diminished when he no longer meets his constituents face to face and hands them their Iet- ra - -- '-' aW H-n fcfta'i
