Why He Didn't Enthuse.

Mr.. Depew was ON the train one day
last fall, after having spoken the night
before to large meeting at Albany,
when stranger approached him and
said:
''Mr. Depew, did you mean all you said
in your speech last night?"
"Yes sir, every word of it." replied the
orator.
"Then we're going to beat them, are
we?"
''No doubt of it at all.''
"Oh, know there amt when you're
talkin' in public, but in private, are we,
now? Do you know we're going to?"
''Yes, sir, do. | feel as certain of our
success as of anything in the world that
hasn't actually taken place. l have in
side information that makes me feel
sure. The Democrats are as good as
beaten now."
Mr.. Depew paused moment and then
noticing that the man was looking rue
fully at the floor, continued jocuiarly:
well, why don't you get enthusiastic
isn't that good news?"
"Y-a-e-s," he answered sarc sticaily
great news. The fact is 1 said we &c
draw you out-I've voted the Democratic
ticket for over thirty years. Oh, yes
that's good news for me-reg'lar thanks
givin' news-and me postmaster at Shell
bark Centre, and got 81 and rat-terrier
pup on Cleveland! Why don't enthuse
hey-if you was in my place do you think
you would whoop much with 50 bill, q
postoffice and the best rat-terrier pup II
the state of New York slowly slipping
out O. your grip? Would you prob'ly
holIar a great deal with all that make:
life worth livin' 'a-fading graderally away!
Would you celebrate when you thought
of that postofiice? Would you crack
| your heels together when you remem
bered them 81? Would you prob'ly sing
when you contemplated that pup? No
much you wouldn't. You might stand
the loss of the Office and the bill, but
when it come to pup that would yanl
rats out of hole inside o three months
you wouldn't keep up no better'n me
and you know it."

One feature of Major Schwan' . bill il
that it gives to all peace Off GERS Federal

upon their own responsibility and with.
out warrant or military authority. Addi-
tional safeguards against the readmission
to the service of repeaters or deserters are
about to be adopted q nder instructions

Another provision of the bill is that one
third OF the soldiers pay for the first year

forfeited If he does not serve on his term.
Men discharged before their term expires,
at their own request. are not to receive
travel pay. 1t also provides for the adop.

Acting Adjutant- General McKeevsr and
and others of the staff have at Secretary
Proctor's request submitted reports on
the subject of desertions which he has

recommends that the sum of money re-

at $50.
