This was day of surprises to the

had astonshed those who had known

tonight he literally paralyzed Miss

Notwithstanding her first repulse, had

"Why are you silent, girl? thought
you loved my boy. Have you no word
to add to my prayers that may make
that cold old man more human and less

There was painful pause. The girl
bowed her head and was silent.

And this from you!" The widows
words were very bitter. "Then, when
my bright boy, who never in all his life

She opened the door hurriedly and

The United States army is not very large
compared with the armies of many other
nations. but it contains in round numbers
1000 men. These men are all healthy or
they would not have been enlisted, and they
have much hard work and a great deal of
outdoor exercise; consequently their appe-
tites and Questions are in first class order,
and the amount of food that must be sup

puts to shame the figures which have re-
Gently been going the rounds of the press
in regard to the enormous food consump-
ton of the big ocean liners, the mammoth
hotels and other institutions of that charac-

in a town, and the job Of catering to a city

most provision dealers would care to under

who wore out his teeth in the war no more
from biting Off the ends of cartridges than

up his nose at that article now and raise a
row il he were asked to eat it, while his
growls would be heard from the Preside at
San Francisco to Fort Sheridan at Chicago
If he were asked to indulge in pork more
than twice a week, unless it were fresh.
Only three-tenths of the ration is now in
salt meat, york or bacon, while az for hard
tack, it is never used except in the field,
and then to make q dish the name of which
will not bear printing. But for all the GOV
eminent ration is a very liberal one, it
would mover suffice to feed the troops "a
