participate in the bloodless
modernized invasion of Mexico.
While the companies were estimat-
ed as being safe to send on an aver
age from Is to IS men, they are
coming forward with from IS to so
volunteers each, and the encamp-
ment promises to be a notable sue
cess. This promptness in taking
advantage of the opportunity for
obtaining valuable instruction in
field and camp services Is caused
by several good reasons. The
short term of absence from busi-
ness, the encampment lasting only
six days, makes it easier for the
men to get excused; the financial
guaranty of expenses adds con-
siderably to the attractions of the
outing; the fact that the visiting
soldiery will be royalty received
by the hospitable citizens of Mex
leo is comforting to the sons of
Mars, and the general revival of
the military spirit in the State
forces, added to the circumstance
that they are better equipped for
field and camp life than ever before,
makes them especially anxious to
attend this encampment.
All the companies are getting
ready for camp lite, quartermaster
stores are being carefully gone over,
uniforms put in tip-top trim, ket-
ties and pans Furnished to the
regulation ''shine." and even the
familiar camp songs that were
won't to wake the echoes of Sweet
Springs brought out from the lum-
ber-room of the past and put in
tune again. The only two men
who look forward to the encamp-
ment with dread are regimental
quartermaster, Capt. W. II. Scott,
and Capt. Edwin Batdorf, regi-
mental sdjutant. Both have
trouble in store tor themselves,
Capt. SCOTS suffering preceding
the departure of the inevitable
hnrly -burly of issuing stores,
equipments, etc., while Capt.
Batdorf's circus will begin the
very first morning that gallant ad.
jutant instructs a corps of recruits
in the Kiralfy ballet mysteries Of
guard-mounting, one of the pref
test and most difficult ceremonies
of camp service.
The great day of the encamp.

which will include a sham. battle

Murphy's Finest Finish.

The st. Paul Pioneer.P Press says:
Two years ago Baldwin's horse
Volante was to run one day at
Saratoga, and Baldwin called
Murphy up into the grand stand
and said:
"Now, look here, Murphy, I
don't want any monkeying about
this race-none of your sensation
al finishes. You just cut the old
horse loose and send him along
from the tall o. the flag to the
finish. I've got a lot of money on
this race, and I don't want to be
worried about the result"
Murphy showed his white teeth
in a smile of acquiescence, and
then in a low tone informed the
ladies in Baldwin's party that he
would 'smake the old man faint
away" When the flag fell
Murphy pulled Volante back to
fourth place and held him steady
around the turn. Down the back
stretch the leaders flew, with
Murphy trailing along quietly on
Volante az though he was out for d
pleasure ride. Baldwin began to
kick, and bit off a Dig chunk of
tobacco and began to chew at a tre-
mendous rate. As the horses
rounded the lower turn and enter
ed the stretch, Murphy began NOV
ing up inch by inch, but it seemed
an impossibility for him to reach
the leaders, but he did, and one
by one they surrendered, until
within 100 feet of the wire Volante
had disposed of all but one. Then,
with a magnificent exhibition of
horsemanship, Murphy fairly lift.
ed his mount up to even terms and
in the last bound landed Volante a
winner by a nose, or, as the sport
ing fraternity term it, "by an eye
LASH" Before the jockeys DIS
mounted, Baldwin turned to a
member of the party and said:
"George, I wish you would get
these Volante tickets cashed and
bring the money down to the hotel
for me. I'm going home right
away. I don't feel we'll. Some
fellow swallowed q chew of tobac.
co which I had in my mouth when
that black devil made that close
finish"

WE CLIP the following from tn,

We CLIP the following from the
Post Dispatch in regard to the Su.
prenae Judgeship:
Gas four of the judges after
Judge Gantt's election will be from
that section of the State which If
south of the river, it is conceded
that the next Judge will come from
north of the river. Judge Sher.
wood having had two terms it is
thought by his opponents that he
can be retired, and to beat him
Macfarlane will come out again,
and che Ewing cohorts will bring
out Judge John Smith, Of the
Court OF Appeals in Kansas City.
With Macfarlane and Smith both
in the race it is hoped that the
country north of the river can be
divided against Sherwood ana that
the nomination Of either of them
can be forced upon the rest of the
State. To use q race course ex-
preston, Macfarlane, it is the gen.
ersl opinion, will be out to win,
and Judge Smith will simply make
the running for him. Of course if
il should be demonstrated that Mac
farlane could not win then Smith
viii be taken up and pushed to the
'front.'"
If Judge Macfarlane is a candi-
date for Supreme Judge two years
hence he will most assuredly be
"out to win" He is not the kind
Of . man to run in the interest oil
any combination or any faction.
He would rather run aclean, man.
