One man sta ted that words can never' tell the story, so that people in this age may fully understand the suffering of that four-year's war which with modem improvements and tactics could have been - ended in six months. "For" said he "the guns now shoot harder, further, faster and with greater accuracv than those old muzzle loaders, which re quired nine movements instead of two to load for action." But there was a sort of homesick, far-a-way look upon the faces of the veterans while the sea . breeze played with golden fingers upon the strains of band music; and one of them said with a' sigh. "That's rich music. It carries a man right o'ff the earth; but when it comes to making ' sol diers, it kn'tjtalk to a fellow with the eloquence of the old fife and drum," and while the comrades were gathered into a group and get ting their pipes ready for action. one of their number remarked; "To be sure, these are not West Point graduates, but they are handsome men. They are educated soldiers; they are college bred farmer soldiers. They are the sons of the old soldiers ; and they have learned to conduct themselves like civilians in peace and like soldiers in' war. They fire the last salute over our graves, and when we are ho more, the country will be m safe hands." The military- department has ceased to talk for publication so the inspec ting officer emphatically declined to be interviewed upon the doings of the day. But he stated that the ap pearance pfjhe young. .menspgaks well for the northwest climate; and his eyes twinkled as he remarked that the girls have taken to athlet ics ana neipiui drills almost as readily as the boys. "The north west," he said, "is giving the world a nne lot of very able bodied men and women, and m this respect is destined to stand in the advance line of racial excellence." Futhermore it is his belief that in a country where every man is a sovereign and a soldier, more should be done by the general government for the training of jnen in the es sentials of good soldiery. Thev should be instructed more in mili tary science as well as in tactics; and students who drill regularly for the betterment of military protec tion, should be supplied by the general government with uniforms and other accoutrements and conve niences necessary to superior at tainment in our country's defence. guests at Hill's Academy. He said "the last time I looked into your faces,- you" were all busy but now as your are here with the" doors shut and ' the windows so high that you cannot jump out, and as your president has given me an hour and a half to talk with you, I will try to get even with you " " After cbipeL exercises he visited Cauthorn Hall. - - Great Reduction Sale.
