THE BOYS IN BLUE.
Service in Uncle SANS Army Not the
Most Unhappy Lot in the World.

The army is better thing for the
average man than is generally sup
posed. While the pa y-$13 . month
-is small, it must be remembered
that it is $13 month over and
above all expenses for food, clothes,
lodging, hospital attendance and
education. The clothing allowance
is so large, too, that every man is
able to save more or less of it ac-
cording to the care he takes of his
clothes, and some of them make a
very considerable item Of this.
Whenever the enlisted man re-en.
lists he receives an increase of pay,
and he has the opportunity of be-
coming through efficiency nom
commissioned officer, with still
greater increase of pay. Moreover,
if he is ambitious and has Or gets a
fairly good education, he is afforded
every help rather than hindered, as
is popularity supposed, from becum-
ing a commissioned officer. .
The army is to the enlisted man
a home, an insurance company and
bank. The Government permits
him to draw interest ON any sum
of money he may deposit, and it is
tolerably safe institution. If he
is injured or used up through sick
ness, he is either nursed back to
health or pensioned for life. If he
grows old in the Government SER
vice he is retired on pension pre-
cisely as an officer is. And after
all, the work of soldier is not par
ticularly hard. That it is not a
disagreeable one is attested by the
fact that a great majority of the
enlisted men, and necessarily the
better ones, re-enlist and practically
spend their whole lives in the army.
The happiness and comfort of
the soldier depend principally upon
the commanding officer of the COM
pany to which he may be assigned.
The company is family, and good
company commanders SO regard it.
The average soldier is child from
his very training. He must eat,
sleep and work at a certain time
named by another, and he is well
fed and well clothed according to
the ability of the captain or lieu
tenant who has charge of him. He
cannot even buy a handkerchief
without the permission of such an
officer. Nobody appreciated this
fact more than the First Napoleon,
who, as rule, called his soldiers
mes enfants-a practice that has
remained with French officers. 1t
is an unfortunate fact that there are
good many officers who take very
little care of their companies, but
they are the exception, not the rule.
If a man be drafted into good
company there is no reason in the
world why he should not enjoy life
to the utmost. He will be furnished
an abundance of good clothes and
will be taught to take pride in
keeping them in good condition.

find large deposits of mineral as I
expected to fnd them, but enough
is there to make it more than an
object to establish a great industry
in that part of the country, when it
is open to easy transportation, and
I proved beyond doubt that trans
port routes could be established
between st. Elias district and thia
coast"
The discovery of a large area in
Eastern Alaska of fertile lands,
where for FIVE or six months tho
weather is warm and pleasant, and
where in the winter months the
mercury does not fall below zero,
will modify the judgment of many
as to the agricultural resources of
Alaska. It appears that the winter
climate in this fertile district is not
as harsh as that of Minnesota or
Illinois, where agriculture is one Of
the main sources of wealth. This
newly discovered country is at pres
ent too remote from markets to in
vite settlement. Yet it is hardly
more remote than was Minnesota
and Kansas when the first settle
ments were made.
The explorer declares that he trav-
eled about l 900 miles over fertile
country in Alaska, embracing an
area described on such maps as he
could procure as barren and cold the
year round. He found land as fertile
as is found anywhere in the West,
great forests, and mineral wealth
enough to justify the erection of ma
chinery in many places. If this ex-
|plorer has not exaggerated his dis
coveries, they are by far the most
important that have been made
within the domain of this country
for many years. Less will be heard
hereafter about the iceberg and the
polar bear in Alaska, and moro
about its great natural wealth await
ing the enterprise of hardy settlers
who will take possession Of these
treasures at no distant day.

A Big Question.

Why do not the Cinnamon who
60 to Mexico stay in Mexico, and
why do not the Cinnamon who GO
to Canada stay in Canada, and why
do not the Cinnamon of Cuba and
other West India Islands stay thereY
Why do they want to get into the
United States, though they cannot
get here without heavy cost and
much trouble to themselves, and
though they are liable to arrest when
they get here, as violators of our
anti Chinese laws? Is it because
the Mexicans, Cubans and Cana
dians have fewer shirts to wash, or
are less particular about the wash
ing of those they have, than the
Americans, or is it because the fan
tan, pipe-hitting, theatrical, and
Sunday-school attractions of tho
United States are superior to those
of Canada, Cuba and Mexico, or is
it merely because they like to como
to country which they are prohib-
tied from coming to? It is rather
hard to tell; but certain it is that
more of them manage to get here
in these times from Mexico and
Canada than ever got here at any
other time since the passage of the
Exclusion Act. The question is .
big one; and we are not surprised
that bill containing even more
stringent provisions for the barring
out of Cinnamon than those that
now exist, was introduced in the
House Of Representatives as soon
as it assembled.-N. Y. Sun.

only plentiful, but of the best quail
ity and of sufficient variety. Out
of his small pay an English soldier
has to pay for his vegetables and
any extra meat he may have. Our
soldiers get more than they can eat
of everything that is furnished, and
are permitted to trade the surplus
off for any dainties from the COM
missary department that they may
wish at Government contract price.
Then, too, every company in the
army has company garden that
supplies it with vegetables, and,
again, the garden is q success ac-
cording to the efforts of the COM
pany commander. Then there are
ways in which a company makes
money to supply its mess With still
greater dainties and it's reading
room with literature, and often with
billiard and pool tables.
Beyond keeping himself and ac-
coutrements clean, attending drills
and doing guard duty the enlisted
man has to take his turn every three
or four days doing the work of q
'laborer about the post. This is the
crying shame Of the army to-day.
The men are not enlisted as artisans
nor laborers, and they should. not
be expected to do such work. 1t is
worthy of notice that they do the
work, nevertheless, very cheerfhlly.
Some day when the officers have
agitated the matter enough, all this
will be changed, and the soldier
will be expected to do nothing but
actual military duty.
The soldier on the frontier has
even more amusement than the Of
ficer. The writer, once a lieutenant
of cavalry, has many time when
alone with a company in the field
wished that he could sit down at
the campfire with the men and en-
joy their jokes and share in their
conversation. They have the op-
portunity of playing all sorts of
games and the time to practice
them, too. 1t is probable that they
have more society at Government
post than they would have at their
homes, and they usually have op-
portunities for sport in the way of
hunting and fishing that would be
envied by many rich New Yorker.
There are always post schools for
the education Of the soldier, and
there are always post libraries that
contain a sufficient number of
books to keep him busy reading
New York Times.

It Also Cured Him Of Dabbling
in Stocks.
Henry Warden was the youngest
son of = well-to-do farmer in one of
the interior towns Of st. Lawrence
county, and fifteen years ago was
living at home with his parents.
He who tells this story was at one
time q near neighbor: When, in
1884, my old friend Hank" as we
used to call him, came to see me at
my home in the Maple City l was
glad to meet him. He had been
named after an uncle who was q
merchant in Brooklyn and quite
wealthy. When the uncle died he
left 5000 to his nephew, and Henry
had just received tha money when
he called on me. HeTas somewhat
excited, and said he was going to
New York city, to speculate in
stocks.
laughed at him and told hiaa he
would be stripped of every dollar ia
a week by the Wall-street brokers'.
But he insisted that he had read up
in the business and knew the ropes
as we'll as any of 'em. He went
and in seven weeks came back with
SIS, ,45O, bought q nice farm and
became a contented granger, and
is one yet.
How did he make so much money
in shorta time? Well, he went to
New York, secured board at hotel,
deposited $4OO with the clerk. and
invested daily in the Wall-Street
Reporter and studied it industri.
ously. At the end of eight days he
made up his mind.
He went down to Wall street, en-
ployed a broker, instructed him to
buy $500 worth of Turkish bonds,
and put up his margins. Turks were
then selling at 81, and the broker
and his head clerk exchanged sati-
rical grins as Henry left the Office.
He returned to his hotel and waited
for Turkish bonds to rise; but they
didn't rise. The next day they
were 264, the next at 25, and the
third day sold at 241.
The broker called on him on the
fourth day for more margins, and
he had to fork over. Coming back
to his hotel he explained his posi-.
ton to the landlord, in whom he
had confidence, and asked him what
he had better do. He was told that
he had better by all means sell out
and save what he could.
"The Turkish bonds will never
be paid in this world-they can't
even pay the interest,"" said the
landlord.
"Well, I'll sell out then," said
Hank, and added, "Let's 60 and
take drink"
They took drink, and then took
another, and our friend started for
the brokers' Office. He felt trough
and wretchedly unhappy, and pro-
cured another drink. Then, after
taking two more drinks, he pro-
ceeded to take a drink. Then a
policeman, who knew where he
boarded, took him back to his hotel,
and for the next twenty-eight days
Henry Warden didn't know Turk
ish bonds from United States 7.3Os.
At the end of that time he cooled
off, and, going into the reading
room, glanced at the stock reports
and sprang to his feet in astonish-
ment. The Sultan had laid another
tax upon his long-suffering people
and was going to pay up, and Turk
ish bonds were at So and still rising.
Hank waited four days, until they
reached So 4 5, and then sold out
and came home with his money al
most doubled. He never has been
full since, and never intends to be,
and never has any desire to specu-
late in stocks.-Ogdensburg News.

The principal matter coming before the
meeting was the report of City Engineer
Boyd upon the entire levee system of the
city. Mr.. Boyd recommends that the
Front-street levee be raised not less than
four feet and be made not less than thirty
feet wide on top. From Seventh and ID
streets, easterly, he recommends the gen.

recommends that the Y-street levee be
raised two feet above high-water mark.
