wagon and became the trail which the
butcher boy followed frantically in his
efforts to catch his beast.
Nothing got in the way of the horse
but dogs, and they added to his misery
by leaping into the air and swapping at
his nose. An enthusiastic procession Of
urchins raced madly in the wake of the
wagon and cheered the animal on to
greater efforts of speed.
Down three blocks of O'Farreu street
rampaged the equine, creating as large a
sensation as would a mouse in a semi
nary. At Powell street his career ended.
The hitching rope came in contact with
the cross cable of the Powell Street rail-
road and was cut in twain. The horse
was holding back so hard that the reac-
ton threw him on his launches, and be-
fore he could recover his equilibrium
half hundred citizens were holding him
down.

The Unpopularity of the Army.

The parents, particularly the mothers, of
many youths dread their becoming soldiers.
Some look upon the army as the very last
resource of the penniless and the vicious
They decline to believe the statements
blazoned forth in red and blue print on the
posters at railway stations and elsewhere.
If youth does so far harden his heart AS
to talk to the recruiting sergeant he has to
meet that funCtionary at some out-of-the-
way place where his female relations will
not be likely to see him. The sergeant him
self has to keep ont of their sight also.
And even when the youth has enlisted he
may have to remain for weeks or months
at the depot near his native town, subject
TO the reproaches of his relatives and
friends. This is greatly objected to BY the
majority of young soldiers.
a slight increase in the soldiers pay, or,
rather, decrease in his stoppages, would,
we believe, go a great way 70 run up the
number and raise the standard of recruits.
Other remedies may be quite unnecessary
if that were conceded; but until the sol
der can be got TO look upon dismissal
from the service as the greatest punish
ment that can be inflicted on him for the
usual military offenses there will be DO
real progress toward the perfection all
must long to see in our srmy.-Army and
