 n the reclasming of swamp land in southwestern Michigan several fortunes nave been niade as rapidly as though the lucky farmers had sfaked out a Paying elaimin Cresde or Cripple creek. 0nlon kings and peppermint kings are so numerous as to jostle each other on the highways, and their rise in sev- efal eases has not been without TO- manees.

He was in icYe Bis humble Indiana home nd- Jointd the rich farm Of the man whose daughter had accepted his heart. No Sdayl9cS ever guarded his Jessica with greater care than did this Indiana veo- man. Burns meager wages piled up slowly, and life seemed to Have few openings for man without money.
 One day last spring, while wandering aimlessly through wild part of the extensive swamp, Burns came across a tract of land which had once been cleared. A sudden inspiration came to him. He wrote east to the owner of the land aud received permission to do what be pleased with the cleared portion. Hiring man and team, he plowea the land and fitted it for crop. He expended nearly half his savings in onion seed.
 When the weeds began to get a good start he was nearly in despair. but he worked with feyerish energy and urged his men to extra iaboT1s. All his money had gone for seed and wages. His work at last was nearly done, and he sat one day alone in lis rough shed, when shouts from the edge of the clearing called his attention. A woman had found his secluded retreat. She had waited all summer for the return of her lover, and then had bid defiance to all restraint and come alone 100 miles tO anu UliE.
 Even nature seemed to be kind. The tall rains which might injure his crop were delayed, and the onions grew to great size. Burns was married and in- slaiied his wife in pleasant quarters with a family where ne had bearded w7ile be went back to gather his crop. ''''''sa. ss--lsissid had never before beer heard of Thousands of bushels GOV cred the erouBd, The summers work made Burns fortune.

 "The manuscript he submitted with a courteous bow read as follows:
 At this time the United States has not friend among the leading nations of the earth. France, the old-time ally of the republic, has been alienated by an effusive display of American sym pathy in behalf of the Germans during the Franco-Prussian war. The sensa- tional manner in which the horrors of Russian prisons had been described in American pictorial magazines, and the popular indignation awakened by the recital. had eifoctuany cooled the friendly ardor of the Muscovite gov ernment The hostility of Germany had been aroused by trade misunder. standings and jealousies. An arbitra- tion treaty with England had failed by reason of the hostility of he United States senate Italy still cherished . feeling. of recruitment on account of the troubles and huniliations growing out of 6 nlassacre of Italians in New Orleans a decade before. Canada, on the north was distinctly unfriendly, and Mexico on tie south, while outwardly amicable had never forgotten Cherubuseo, Buens Vista and Reseca de la Palma. Ths struggle that was beginning betweeI the American union and Japan for ths possession of the Hawaiian islands ha< estranged the rising power of the ori ent.

United States should provide each regi- ment with complete equipment and with arms. They ought 10 have two uni forms, one for field service and one for parade, for the fact must not be lost sight of that militia troops must always be given tine opportunity to show them selves upon occasions in dress uniform, and that, however unmilita1y it may seem to some professional soldiers. this endowment of handsome uniform does too much for the enthusiasm and esprit de corps to well be ignored. .1
 The performance of weekly drill tbut with regular inspections by regular army officcrs) may be taken as suffi- cient, but in addition to the six days field duty for the state, the reserve should go into camp of instruction by brigade annually for period of either ten or twelve days (exclusiye of time occupied in transportation if ten days) and every three years the encampment should be by division, the alternating of the three divisions of the corps upon different years permitting field officers of the other divisions to attend for traiu- ing as they should be required to do.
 The pay given to regiments for thei- duty as members of the reserve should be so much per Gnnum for the annual work laid down, including attendance at, say, 45 weekly drills, and all ab- seDces from drill should be deducted pro rata from the pay, while penalties shOuld be ordered for dereliction of duty and failure 70 join promptly for camp of instruction.
 Beyond thus giving a general sketch of a national system for bringing eff ciency out of the militia forces, there Is nItie neeu to go. The plan may even have in detail such features as will not do at all, but there is surely the basis here for an excellent scheme of organ ization which conflicts in no manner with the original state duties of na- tional guard troops, and permits of no miscalculation in their sudden trans formation into well-trained army of reserve for the purposes of foreign war.
