WITH BABY AS DRILLMASTER
Company Went Through Exercises
That Never Figured in Any Rec
ognized Manual of Arms.
The company was out at one edge
of the military reservation, doing
setting-up exercises. The officers had
been putting the men through their
paces, when the son of one of the
camp's higher officers, a fugitive
from the nurse, wandered to the

The soldiers gasped. Here was a
new setting-up exercise.
"Four!" shouted the new instruc

So the questions came on, and the
little boy even led the company in a
short jumping-swinging
which none of them had ever been
through since babyhood. The com

the boy would stop, and how.
The baby happened to look up over
the hill. Yes, there came his nurse,

WHEN SIRIUS IS IN POWER
Midsummer Days, With Their Fierce
Heat, All Part of the Great
Scheme of Nature.
A mist floats up from the
meadows, prophetic of the coming
autumn; noontime glows with fer
vence of untempered sun, and with
evening comes a sultriness that tries
man's patience. It is midsummer,
"dog days," when Sirius rules the
sky, and Dame Nature loses her
fiercest heat to the ripening of the
corn and the maturing of the fruits.
Pastures are turning brown and hill
sides lie dull and dusty under the
spell. Over the cornfields hovers that
mysticism of creation's alchemy
which none can comprehend, but in
all the world no mightier process
is going on today. Hncounted myr
iads of kernels are undergoing the
miracle of development, while in
orchard and vineyard the wonder of
fruitage is being wrought. Nature
presses with her utmost energy to
fulfill her task within the time,
-while man goes about his work with
i esa 0 f yjg 0 r because of the very zeal
0 f creation about him. From the
mists of the morning until the last
fi 0 f breath of the day has passed
w ith the deepening night, the call of
lassitude beguiles him, and he works
f rom duty and not for the joy of do
] n g it. And in the dusk he hearkens
to the locust and the tree toad, as
they rasp the air, and strains his ear
to catch t he cry of the katydid,
pro phet of the coming frost.—
