UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.

They Are Better Housed, Fed and Paid THAI
Any Others in the World.
New York Press.l
Cruelties, injustice and tyranny are to be
found in every army, as they are in every
public school and every public department.
But these grow rapidly less noticeable from
year to year, and it is well nigh impossible
for serious injustice to be done anyone in the
army to-day without prompt detection and
immediate punishment.
This is certain, the United States recruit
is to-day far better fed, better clothed, bet
ter bedded and a great deal better paid than
any other soldier In the world. Does he
ever think that his pay and allowances are
as much, if not more, than those OF junior
lieutenant in the crack regiments of Austria

George Francis Train has come back from
his transcontinentaI tour as an advertise
ment for Tacoma, and may be seen in his
old haunt, the lobby of the Continental
Hotel. on Broadway, at various hours. He
looks somewhat subdued and more somber
than when he went off to rough it around
the world. It is singular thing that, al
though he has been regarded as a crank and
as hall crazy, his predictions made 10 and
20 years ago about Tacoma are coming to
fulfillment.
I can remember articles he wrote and sent
to papers over the country fully that length
of time ago, in which he said that Tacoma
was the coming great port of the Pacific
coast. and was destined to be metropolis
as great as or greater than San Francisco.
Tacoma has not reached that size yet, but
has made such progress that the prediction
is no longer regarded as wild impossi-
bility.

1t Is a common saying that you can Judge
a man by his visiting card. A lately-ar-
rived rector not ten miles from Boston left
his cheap, printed card at the house Of one
of his parishioners, and his neatly-engraved
one at another's. The houses were respect
lively in Questionable and fashionable
quarters of the city. But the parishioners
happened to be cousins. They met, they
compared cards-as women willard that

stories they told down there about her

gentle, sympathetic girl. I worked the
sympathy dodge for all it was worth-in-

He paused and shivered. 1t may have

I fell in love with her in good earnest,
or, rather, perceived that I was in love
with her. She wasn't girl to strike man
like me suddenly. Her beauty was too
sweet and natural.
EDUCATED IN BEA UTY.
"My taste for beauty had been educated,
or rather depraved, by walking around New
York. I'd got to thinking that woman, to
be beautiful, must be pencilled so black and
powdered SO white that her face looks like
a crayon sketch on the bottom of a soup
plate. She wasn't that kind. And when
my better judgment came to life again, and
I saw her as she really was, every other face
in the world went into total eclipse. saw
how good she was too; and when all this
came over me, could no more have opened
my mouth to say I loved her, than man
with the lockjaw could bite big apple.

The last time heard from Jack Hartley
he was going 10 marry an heiress. 1 had
his word for it. 1 should have preferred
hers. However, there was a chance that the
news might be true, and rejoiced to hear
it, because I had strong affection for Jack
and large bundle of his I. o. US. The
latter still retain.
Aside from my interest in Jack as a
friend and debtor, had reason to hope that
his matrimonial venture would prove sue
cess, financially. 1t was I who advised
him to choose marriage as a career. He
could not lie steadily enough for the law
nor brilliantly enough for journalism. He
knew just enough to be doctor but couldn't t
cover up the fact and look wise. In
short, did not think he was likely to sue
ceed in the more honorable professions.
But for love-making, Jack was wonderfully
endowed. He had handsome face with
eyes that took on tender expression at the
sight of pretty girl or $40 gold piece or
pie.
he HAD YEARNING EYES.
In fact, it didn't make much difference
what it was. Jacks eyes were always
yearning and tOnder. He was born SO. But
if the girl didn't see him looking at the pie
or at some other girl, she might easily be
persuaded that he loved her alone. Then
he had one of those figures which even a
tailor can fit. Why, my clothes looked SO
much better on him than they did on me
that it was almost a pleasure to lend them to
him.
1 hadn't seen him since the early spring
until met him on the street last Thurs
day. 1t was cold day. I had to go to
New Jersey, and the thermometer, also,
was very low down. 1t was on my way
to the ferry that met Jack. He had a
summer overcoat buttoned up to the chin.
