A man makes things hard or easy for
himself in the army as well ae else
where. If h wishes i to gambl and
drink it lai hl own lookout, and if he
gets into "trouble he stands the conse
quences. There are plenty of amUae
menta and pastimes furnished him when
off duty, an excellently equipped gym
nasium in every post, a fre library and
all sorts of outdoor games, Each or
ganization ha. a cool table, at"wtilch a
nominal rate Is charged" to" increase the
"company funds." A school is also
maintained at each post, free to all.
Former Soldier' also hits the post
exchange for selling "malt." He does
not have to drink it and get drunk on it
nor Is he compelled or' asked to spend
nis money at tne post exenange.
Good profits are made at these post
exchange, it is true, for they have
no rent fuel, lights and so forth to pay
for. these being all furnished by' the"
government. All . profits mad are
equally divided among the different or
ganlaatlons, and used for different pur
poses, to make things comfortable.
A man is granted a pass at nearly
any time he wishes it when off duty,
and many times team may be obtained
at the post stables for extended hunt
ing and fishing' trips, at no expense.
If Coffman had behaved himself and
done his duty and let trouble alone, he
would not have, had a military court-
martial.:'
Also the same poor fellow is in
stew about Anthony, in another column
of the aame issue. I know Anthony,
personally, and he is a good fellow, but
h. eot?reah and has to Buffer for It. If
he had done hifQiluty and minded his
buelness he ' would hot. have had a
guard house term and a ball and chain.
He tried to run away, and wasn't smart
enough to make it stick, and so got his
time extended, as he would have if he
had been in a ts'vll prison.
In my opinion there I no better place
for young men without trad or homes
than, a "hitch ln the army." It .will
generally wake them up and teach them
many things to their advantage, if they
take things as, they would when work
ing for a concern in civil life.

No matter what troubles oyertaks her
ln th immediate future, ther is com

when China Is going to amount to some
thing, when she is going to be a posi

Of Chin are beginning to feel, to ob
serve and to think as they never have
don at any time aince the meeting of
east and west. Those who play against
China today think with certainty upon
this; , when the big land owner cornea

that some ther were who whSn he was
poor .and trying to get a start, threw
stones in front of his plows, diverted
his ditches and messed up his boundary
lines. Why, when eh has-nothing to

should England be mad to acquire a

countenancing those who, because of
what they may gain have at least a rea
