is famous, we beheld a beautiful

ever brings up pleasant recollect-

Many Men From Entering the

The recruiting stations Of the United
states army, just at the present time, are
not doing thriving business. This is due
to the issuance of an order by the sec
rotary of war to the effect that no per-
sons can be received into the military SER
vice of the federal government who have
not been previously engaged in the service
OF those who have been in the army before
none can be taken back at the present
time except those who have received an
honorable discharge within three months
of the time of applying for re-enistment
This requirement restricts the number Of
eligible applicants within very narrow linn
its. 80 far white men are concerned.
Colored men are received irrespective of
their past occupations, provided they can
pass the physical and other examinations
The order from the war department en-
bodying the above stipuations went into
effect October 1, and that the two regi-
ments of colored infantry and the two
troops of colored cavalry lack a consider
able number of being complete, while all
the white regiments have their full quota
of men.
Notwithstanding the fact that none but
army men could be enlisted after October

tons for enlistment at the Minneapolis sta

ment at the end Of service, their tailoring
hills being deducted. There is generally
enough extra money made by soldiers to
cover this expense so that a private who
has served five years has about $780, Cor
Dorals receive $15 per month, and the sal
aries scale up to figures which amount to
good salaries, when it is considered tina t
private expenses are reduced to a min
imum. To many there are other advan-
tages in belonging to the army. Men who
have been shiftless, improvident and ire
sponsible members of society are trained
qualities which make them good citizens
and prosperous men after their retiremen t
from service.
AS soon enough men have been retired
from the service by the expira ton of their
periods of enlistment to make any consid-
cradle depletion of the ranks, the order
restricting enlistments will be again re-
moved. and through the recruiting offices
tide of men will again seek entrance into
the ranks Of the blue-coats. Measures Gre

eminent will always find enough acceptable
material to keep it's companies up to their
full membership.

the city made UP his mind to enter the
army. He was not possessed of the wild
notions which lead some to take that step,
for he had an Intimate friend who was
captain in the army, and knew a good deal
Of what army life was like as a conse-
quence. He also had something of AN ac-
qUaintance with the captains daughter. but
it is not known that that had anything to
do with his Diet 7rmina ten, although it was
his purpose to apply for enlistment in Capt.
IS company. He is a young man of edu-
cation and marked ability, and he intended
to apply for an examination for a commits
sion at the end of two years service, which
is as soon as i private is allowed to take
such an examine ton. Accordingly he pre-
scented himself at the Minneapolis recruit
ing station for enlistment, aud there he
Immediately ENCOUNTERED a little red tape
for which he had not been prepared. After
answering questions in regard to his age,
and his Willingness to bind himself to hve
years service. he was asked to produce
letter OF recommendation from his last en-
ployer. 1t can readily be imagined that
this was somewhat discomhtting to the
young man, who had felt that he was de-
meaning himself somewhat in entering the
ranks as a private for the purpose of get
ting something better later on, but the let
ter was duly produced. He was somewhat
indignant however, when one of the at
tentlants of the recruiting officer sent
TO interview the signer CT the letter and
find out more in detail in regard to his
career He was next required to satisfy
the officers that he was an American citi-
zen or had declared his intention to be-

ton throughout the month. One of the at
tendants stated yesterday, however, that
they had now ceased applying, for the or
der has become generally known.
Just what it is that leads men to enter
the army is hard to determine. There are
two causes, though, which seem to govern
the majority of those who seek to enlist.
One is the fact that to certain minds there
is an attractive glamour about the life of
the soldier. Many enter the army with
the idea that it is a life of dress parade
and military pomp, varied by occasional
periods of exciting adventure and thrilling
experiences. There is another cause more
strongly felt at the present time, and
which furnishes the motive of large class
of applicants for membership in the army
1t is the lack of anything else to do, or,
stated in another way, desire to be sure
of something to do for a certain period of
time, and to be sure of being paid for it,
