cURFEw RANG TOO EARLY.
So the Ingenious Young Man Got Up Scheme to 0utSeneral His
 Girls Cruszy Dad.

It may be a fact that the course of true love never runs smoothly, but it is not the less susceptible of proof that love laughs at locksmiths and stern parents, always finding some way to cir cumvent the latter when they come be- tween young hearts. An elderly busi- ness man on the west side has just come to full realization of this, and though he is known to his friends as man of somewhat crusty exterior generally, he seems to enjoy his defeat. He has three daughters-genial, maidenly and lovable girls, who since their early teens have had admirers galore. The bane of their lives was that when the young men made evening calls the old gentleman invariably hinted at ten o'clock that the hour for parting had arrived Now, this was an upehristian time to set the young fellows packing. They knew it and the girls fully agreed, but none of them knew just how they could overcome papa's objections to a later session. A couple of weeks ago three young men called in company to see the girls, one of the visitors being a hearty and sincere admirer of the eld- est daughter. The six young people were having the jolliest time imagin- able when clock on the mantel chimed ten. The girls sighed, knowing full we'll that in 0 few minutes they would hear their fathers unwelcome call downstairs:
 Girls, it's after ten o'clock" IL came sure enough and the young men reluctantly took the hint. At a nearby drugstore where they pur- chased goodnight cigar the admirer of the eldest girl was struck with an in spiration and communicated his idea to the other two. They were delighted with it and promised cordial coopera- tion. A few evenings later the three called again one pleasant evening and found the three girls sitting on the
 front steps. Although the evening was l pleasantly warm, each of the young
 men carried on his arm. Q I ght overcoat. ! One of the girls offered 10 carry the
 coats inside, but the lastigator of the 1 plot said:

Parrots Aro Never orirtnaI.

l have read of father who would not let his children tell their dreams because there is in such narrative too great temptation to wander from the truth. Parrot stories arc too often like dream stories-only half true and they are ometimes-plainly to any who knows the true talking power of these birds-made up entirely or greatly exaggerated. While the par rot has Q certain unmistakabIe sense of humor and is correspondingly wise, none of the various species is, or ever was, capable of the original wise and witty talk familiar to us in newspaper anecdotes. In fact, the parrot is never original in speech; it is altogeth- CT initiative; and bird that has never heard spoken words has surely never uttered a syllable But judging from parrots clever use of what they learn to say, il is almost certain that they come to know, in . measure, the mean ing of the phrases they learn.-Char- lotte Boner, ia St. Nicholas.

The following letter, dated Montauk
Point, l.. l.. September 1. 1895 is from Cor
poral H r. Scott of Company X Ist Dis
trict of Columbia Regiment. He expresses
the hope that the regiment will be ordered
home at once
Addressing his father he says:
Il am glad you did not send the box of
stuff, for We are all near enough sick now
George Scott is better. but Richard Thomas
says he is weak, although he eats a good
amount. | think he is homesick. Last
night, just after retreat, We had our
monthly muster. After the roll was called
the captain asked how many men want to
stay here for two or three weeks to get
strength to march up the avenue?' Those
who wish to return to their homes i'm
mediately step to the front Nearly every
company in the I'd and Sd battaIions step
ped to the front the same if they had
been given the command, forward
march. l don't know whether that will
have any effect On our home coming or not
but l hope it will take us right home.
Il don't care about the reception | eX-
pect to get reception at home, and as for
those medals, they can be given to us at
any time. We will not be able to leave the
army for sixty days, and they surely can
nave them made by that time. i guess the
LIST Battalion will join this afternoon or
tomorrow, as their quarantine is up today
When they do We will probably know about
coming home.
I'VE want our money and expect to be
home Wednesday, and will stay and come
home with the regiment You must not get
scared when you see our names in the pa
per as being sick, for if a man goes to the
surgeon and tells him that he feels awful
bad he will send him to his quarters and
send his name in with the list of sick l
suppose the reporter copied that list"
Against Delay.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1 note by the papers that the reception
committee is endeavoring TO delay the re-
turn of the District boys from Montauk l
earnestly hope, for the sake of the boys,
that they will not succeed. l have just re-
turned from the camp and know from con-
versations with the boys themselves that If
this reception will delay their return to
Washington, then they do not desire 1T.
What they all want is home, and they want
it badly. Any longer stay at Montauk will
be fatal to a good many of the sick, who
are now only buoyed up with the hope of a
speedy return home.
Thanking you in behalf of the boys for
the great work of your committee at Mon
talk, am respectfully,

Ma1or Neuneyer was anxious to relieve
tiie ooSs IN this respect. but being unable
to secure the necessary permission could
not seEo cots to the camp. Had the gov
erhneht provided the men with proper
s,eeplng arrangements the percentage of
sickness would have been materially de-
creased AS it is. the boys have been COM
peLed to sleep on the damp ground. A
KIND OF mist rises at night few feet from
the ground making the mems sleep un-
healthy in the extreme This was one of
the great matters of discomfort unable to
be remedied on account. Major Neumeyer
declares, of the army red tape. The Dis
trict boys offer more complaint about being
compelled to sleep on the bare ground,
their tents not being fioored, than any one
tf1ng else, and it is probably the worst
feature of the camp. The nights at Mon
tauk are very chilly. and the ground is
always more or less damp. To have left
the regiment longer at Montauk under
these conditions than is necessary, would
indeed be little short of criminal Col. Har-
ries, upon seeing how his men were TO be
treated. readily agreed that 1t was best for
tt EN- to be home ard to get there as early
as possible.
