A DAY WITH HANS MILLER,
O o o

As sat mnsing and thinking of
what might have been," l was sud.
denly aroused to consciousness by
being invited by. the Deputy.W Warden
to accompany him for walk. Being
somewhat skeptical as to what these
walks indicated, 1 did not appreciate
the invitation. However, l was not
consulted on that point, so did as he
suggested.
The "wise old sage" directed our
course toward me abode. This gave
my sensitive imaginative a chance to
work, and as he turned toward the
mansion at the head of the boulevard.
the pot began to boil over. TO say that
excitement ran high would be putting
it mildly: for l could think of no
reason why he should wish for my
presence. Well, after ascending sew
eral winding stairways, things began to
look more promising. At the top of
one of these, the Deputy remarked to a
bald headed man: Here's a man for
you," and as he Casey turned his
eagle eye upon me, could plainly see
that he was not at all surprised at the
greene he surveyed; but gave me a
sort of care worn look as much as to
say, "just as | expected"
The next person upon whom my
eyes rested, was the familiar figure of
Hans Miller. lie no more than seen
me when he told me to follow him to
the pressroom. "Vell," says he, after
perching me on high box behind the
the press, eberyding vas goot, so l dink
We peter make sum peesnis" With
these few Introductory remarks, he
starts the fly wheel moving. But
whoa! "Dunder und blitZen," says
Hans, as he sees me with my foot
caught in the press and being lifted
toward the ceiling, "vhat for humpugs
you vas making? You dink dot Dress
vas elm prOnchO:"
Oh yes was somewhat frightened,
but not so badly as Hans was. He was
powerless to move, except to scratch
his seedy pate where little six legged
animal was browsing for dinner.
So passed the forenoon of my initia-
ton; but the afternoon was not with
out its excitements. Directly after
dinner was struck by the appearance
of Hans as ne returned from his feast
of sOurkraut and speck; because his
vest bulged out in front as though he
had inserted a pillow inside his clothes.
So 1 remarked to Casey: "Why, what's
the matter with Hans ?" "Oh, nothing"
said he, "only he has been to dinner"
This partly explained it, but could
not help gazing at him, because he re-
minded me of a cartoon once saw to
represent Holland. 1t was q beerkeg

WHAT INDIANA COULD DO
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, TIME WOlJID

Adjutant General Gore Offers to Fur
nish 5000 Equipped Militiamen
in Eight Hours.

'"The State could raise twenty thousand
troops in twenty-four hours after a dec
laration of war; This was a remark made
by Adjutant General Gore yesterday, but
the general secuted at the idea of there be-
ing q war. There will be no war" said
he, for the very good reason that Spain
will not fight" The adjutant general added,
however, that in case there should be d
brush with the Castilian it would find the
State well prepared. 1.-THE militia was
never in better shape than it is now" he
said. I'VE could furnish three thousand
well-equipped and disciplined men within
eight hours"
The mail of the Governors Office is be-
coming overburdened with letters from
those who are anxious to serve their coun-
try. A number of these jealous patriots
would be pleased to serve in the capacity of
colonies or generals. but pending the out
break of hostilities their applications must
remain on file without being considered.
Still other enthusiasts are writing to OBJ
tain permission to organize companies, but
such requests cannot be granted until war
is assured Colonel Wilson, the Governor S
private secretary, is receiving such a bel
licose correspondence that he is beginning
to believe that he is the secretary of war
of Indiana, in fact as well as in name.
But there are some who are so anxious to
smoke the Cuban cheroot in Havana that
they do not trust the offer of their services
to the mail-they call in person upon the
Governor. Among those who called yester-
day was Daniel u. Brown, the commander
of the Union Veterans Union. lie told the
Governor that the organization of which he
was the head could furnish him with TWEEN
