The war furnished crop of 70 nencss
that never seems to be all harvested.
Congressman Oates, of Alabama with
his fifty-six years and only one arm, has
a romantic story that surrounds tde loss
OF the other arm. During the war he
served in the Confederate army, and it
was before Richmond that he receive
the wounds that necessitated the ampu-
tation of the right arm. At this time it
was that Oates was obliged to lay of
on sick leave while he recovere fro n
his injuries. He was received into the
house of Southern family aad nursei
by the eldest daughter. During the
fever she attended him, aad wnea be
pulled through Oates felt that his life
had not only been saved By her. bit his
future happiness was in her hands. The
young officer toll his story, but the
Young nurse did not favor his suit,
whether because she thought it was
pressed simply from gratitude or wheta-
or she did not return his affection is not
told. Oates was still too weak to re-
turn to his command, and, between fret
ting over his rejected suit aud at the de-
lay in his return to the front, was in a
most unhappy mood. One day when
more desponient than ever the mother
looked up aud said
Never mind, Captain, You just wait
for so and-so, pointing to the baby in
the cradle she was rocking. "You can
have her by and bv.''
The Captain laughed. The baby be-
gan to grow t. girlhood aud Oates was
interested in all she did. When she be-
came of manageable age he reminded
her mother of her old promise made over
the baby's cradle. There was no oppo-
sl.iou to the match and tao couple are
unusually happy. This accounts for the
difference in age, at which many people
have wondered. Mrs. Oates is Il pretty
woman with Southern grace AMI hos
pitalitY and devoted to her husband. D.

An article in a st. Louis paper, in
regard to official surveillance BY
France of French citizens in this

or interesting explanation has been
made than by prominent French
professional gentleman residing in
Pittsburg:
Every citizen" said he, "owes his
country military service from his 25th
to his 45th year. He is liable to con-
scription at any time, the kind Of
service to which he would be attached
depending somewhat upon his age.
He is as free as air, Of course, unless
actually In service, but the authori-
ties must be enabled to keep track of
him. When he changes his address,
he has to notify the proper official
when [ came to this country, for
instance, | went voluntarily to the
French consul and registered my
name, age, former address, occupation,
number of my family and my present
address. l also forwarded to the
proper bureau a notification of my
whereabouts, and if | were to go to
St. Louis to live | would promptly
notify the consul here and send
another notice to France, giving the
number of my house in st. Louis
Nine French citizens here out OF
every ten do the same. Why do they
do it? Well, it's altogether patriotism,
though the men are periodically
enough inclined. If didn't keep my
record straight in France in this par
ticular, and were to go home for a
visit, a gendarme would nab me and
l would go to jail. l would be court
martialed. A French court-martial
is no joke. l would be send off to
Algeria as a punishment for my de-
sertion, but by complying with this
simple little formality | am all right.
But why do they need to keep so ac-
curate list? Well, IL the war would
break out, | would get a polite and
official notice myself. Monsieur, the
war has been declared. Lose no time,
if you please, to take the next steam
ship home.
"And would you go?"
Myself, certainly: For others
