Not so fast, not so fast,' the corporal answered, put his hand on the boys shoulder and turned him around slowly, "I meant we'd want a drummer to drum if we wanted drummer at all. Do you see?"
 'Yes,' said the boy, quickly 'I can drum"-he hesitated and colored-''very well, indeed
 'I haven't doubt of it, my boy, but the fact is there are no more drummers in the army The Twenty-third Regiment had the last drummer boy our history will ever hear of. It's the bugle now, you know
 The boy stood staring at him. The eager light faded slowly out of his eyes. It was pity to see it go. The corporal gave his shoulder a little shake.
 "Go home and learn the bugle, lad,'' he said kindly.
 Thank you, sir" answered the boy, keeping his lips steady. Thank you, sir"
 At the door two old people waited for him to come out. The man stood with his head thrown back, there were pride and courage both in his face, and his son you could see that he was their son favored him but he had his mothers eyes She stood close to her husband and under her cape her hands were clasped tight together. There was neither pride nor courage on her face-only a terrible loving anxiety The father spoke first.
 ''Well boy" he said "are you going?''
 The boy looked straight up at him. No, father he said quietly. They don't want drummers in the army
 His mother caught at his hand with little quick cry of joy. He turned to her then, and she saw his face.

 Many were accepted yesterday and many more were turned away. Man has no critic it seems like his Government. Eyes that are good enough to see friends with will not do to sight a foe, ears that are attuned to the pipes of peace are not keen enough for the trumpets of war, hands that may guide the blow or the pen are not fitted to the sword, and legs that have loitered easily enough along the ways of peace cannot march to war-to say nothing of other troubles which a man must go soldering, or would-be soldering, to discover that he owns.

 DIES FROM FIRE.
Her Clothing Became Ignited While She Was Playing With Matches
 on the Street.

While playing with matches Friday afternoon Lottie Olmos the four-year- old daughter of Samuel Olmos. a shoe maker living at 432 Vallejo street, in some way ignited her clothing, and she was so severely burned that she died yesterday afternoon from her injuries and the shock attending them.
 There were a number of children play ing with the little girl on Vallejo street, time of the accident, and when they added their screams to the agonized shrieks of the child neighbors were at tracted to the scene and extinguished the flames The little sufferer was carried to her home, where Dr. Leland was called to attend to her injuries. She was badly burned about the limbs and body and probably inhaled some of the fire. The physician relieved the suffering as much as he could and left her at her home that night.

N the door of the Recruiting Office

the door of the Recruiting Office
 stood the private, the slim. trim. mill
 tary-tailored private of the regulars
 Over the door stretched the sign;
 'Wanted-Recruits for the First Regi- ment United States Infantry Apply within"
 To the window glass was pasted the Autograph of the recruiting service-gay blend of Cavalry yellow, Artillery red, Infantry white, and the Unions blue, proud military figures of men and horse, sword and gun, eagle and laurels, stars and stripes, buttons and braid. leading a list of prices, conditions and stipuations, inducements to civilians between the ages of eighteen and thrty-five to forsake the paths of peace. Be fore the door and the window gathered the recruits Together they crowded the walk to the curb; singly they passed the private at his post. And for every man who went in at the door two came to fill his place on the street.
 This was at II o'clock yesterday morn ing, and the world was frying in the sun. Even at the corner of Market and Third streets. where the army has set up this newest recruiting office and where the four. winds of heaven are wont to meet and whirl. there was not a breath of air. The cobbles burned, the asphalt melted, the earth smoked in the heavy pulseless heat. Men went about their business of the street in the shade of buildings women rode nervelessly from shop to shop in cars. beasts of burden toiled with dropping necks and steaming sides.

on The volunteer plucked his sleeve timidly.
 Perhaps you could advise me where to get one?' he said. "I'd like to go to the front"
 The corporal followed his superior officer in the march. Both eyed the men closely as they asked preliminary questions. Sometimes, even when these were an- swered glibly enough, a man was left standing against the wall. There was something else for which the practiced military eye was looking.
 Away went the chosen few, two and three at a time, in the wake of the army men, to be tested from top to toe for the service of their country.

 The hardest ones to turn off" said the hapdsome corporal, "are the youngsters. Their spirit is so fine. They want to fight, and l think they'd make good fighters, too. And I tell you they're dis appointed when they can't go."
 Do you want a drummer?" said a. voice at his elbow.
 The corporal swung around on his heels. A lad of twelve or fourteen with a little eager face and wistful eyes waited for his answer.
 "A drummer" said the corporal quiz- zically. What would we want a drum-, mer for?''
 ITO to drum" answered the boy.

Union HiII n. j.. Sept. THE four

sey Liquor Dealers Association is being
held in Union Hill today. The five hun
dred delegates present held a secret ses-
sion last night. a proposition was intro

of cooperative breweries throughout New

be exclusively retail dealers.

said that thirty States are now organized
for the purpose of protecting the trade
against adverse legislation in Congress
and State legislatures.
Senator W. d. DAILY, of Hudson County,
who is a candidate for the nomination OF
governor, denounced the brewers for COM
pelling the saloon keepers to shoulder the
war tax on beer. The senator was at
once indorsed as the liquor dealers candi-
date for governor.
This mornings resolutions were adopted
amid great enthusiasm, in which a protest
was made against the efforts of the brew
ers to saddle the war tax of 81 per barrel
on beer upon the retailers.
1t was stated in the resolution that re-
tail liquor dealers are subjected to great
er exactions than any other class of bust

A Daf.gt ruus Order.

An order from General Wheeler that
has caused rejoicing in camp may be
productive of immeasurabie mischief
unless its enforcement is surrounded by
proper safeguards. 1t provides that
thirty-day furloughs shall be granted
To every man. not in hospital, who is
reported by the regimental surgeons to
be sick, but able to travel.
This plan has been in operation at
most of the camps. The pitiable spec
tacles that have wrung the hearts of
the kind ladies of Washington and
other cities, of cars filled with sick SOL
ditTs sent homeward without food,
without medicines and often without
morey. are among the known results.
Men who should be in hospital brace
up at the thought of furlough and
home. Then il is a scandalous fact
that many very sick men are not in the
hospitals. Often they die in the regi-
mental camp-Of typhoid fever. Scores
of such men on their way to their
homes become delirious and wander
from the train. Scores have been
found faintins from exhaustion and
have been gathered into the hospitals.
DR.. w. Gilman Thompson, an eminent
authority on typhoid suspecting a good
deal, gave up his vacation in order To
investigate. The first day he found
seventeen of these furloughed men in
the second week of typhoid fever.
which they had acquired in camp. They
rad not been in hospital. but in the
reGimental camp. and had been sent
away under exactly such an order as
General Wheeler has issued. Those
who reach home spread the germs of
the disease among their people. In
deed there is sure TO be a trailing
epidemic along their line of travel.
This is the testimony of an unim-
peachable authority. and il is worth
General Wheeler's instant attention. If
the surgeons of all the other camps send
such men away, what reason have we
to hope those at Camp Wikoff will not
do the same thing.
