If Sergeant Wilcor objects to the newspaper comments on the Camp reflecting the spirit that prevailed, then he is no Volunteer in the proper mense of the farm. If he in lucapable of enjoy. ing himself once in a while, it may be a comfort to Sergeant Wilcox to know that there are others who can do so.

In the East, for countless generations, they have hoarded their gold and silver by putting it under ground, so that the capital is preserved intact from father to son, until som body forgets where it has been buried. The Unfaithfal Servant of the parable in St. Mat- thew xxv. 14 and St. Luke z. 13, who hid his lent in a napkin, was a political economist of this kind. But capital is only useful when it is being consumed-productively.
