Washington. Sept. 2o.-The following
statement is given out at the war de-
partment: THE war department is Just
at present undergoing an experience
which illustrates the alacrity with which
the average American citizen hastens
10 his senator or representative in con-
gress for aid in emergencies. The ces-
sation Of hostilities and the improbable
ity of their renewal with the Gullness
OF camp life, has apparently created a
feeling Of restlessness among the mer
OF the volunteer army. who in the ma
1ority OF cases have given up positions
CT larger compensation. and many of
them are imploring their political -
resentatives to obtain their discharges.
and the latter in turn are flooding the
war department with requests for
prompt and immediate action.
Tells How to the Trouble.
ITO such an abuse Of privilege has
this grown that the war department has
been obliged to call attention to that
paragraph of the army regulations
which requires that all communications
from subordinates to superiors must
pass through military channels. and To
decline. as rule. TO entertain appIica-
tons for discharges Of enlisted men.
unless they come to IL in the prCepr
manner. A soldier who is desirous of
securing his discharge. and has good
ana sufifsient reasons upon which to
base II, Will save himself a great
amount of time and trouble if he will
set forth the reasons for his discharge
In letter addressed to the adjutant
general of the army and hand IL to tie
captain of his company. " no in turn Is
required to forward 1t to the colonel of
the regiment and the latter to PASS II
along through brigade. division and
corps headquarters with their recon-
mendation.
Another Rule ia The same Connection
Unless this is done the department |
VIII send the paper back to the COM |
Tany commander for his recommends
ton. and that takes time which may be /
saved by following thS proper rule. The /
department has also PROMULGATED ar
other ruling in this connection " ica l.
to the effect that public policy Will not |
permit at this time the consideration Of
ippi-ations for discharges CT men s-rv-
Ing in the Philippine ilsands. Honolulu.
Cuba or P0to Rico. The reasons for
this are obvious. Aside from the qCes-
ticn Of transportation involved. the
necessity of supplying the places ofmer
who are to be discharged with others
from the states. IT is To be remembered
that the war is not over and that much
depends upon the results ard deliber-
atoms Of the peace commissioners who
lave sailed for Paris"

THE MOORISH SHElK.
His Dress and Appearance Sadly at Vari
ance With His Rank.

uis DEess anu appearance Sadly at tarl-
ance With His Rank.
Close upon us is a long cavalcade of men
| on mules and on foot some so or 40 in all
l know them from distance, and already
they have seen me and are leaving the
| track to speak a few words to me before
| they pass on to the town. The old Moor
with the long gray beard is u sheik of the
mountainous, and his authority extends
over his tribe from Tangier almost to
Ccuta and Tctuan, 40 miles and more
away
Yet his dress in no manner betokens his
influence or rank, for the linen shirt and
brown hooded ''jelab" that he wears are
common to all. Perhaps his white turban
is folded a little more neatly and is of
greater dimensions than those Of the other
elders of his band, for the young men
wear nothing on their closely shaven heads
except bands of red or blue cloth or brown
cords of camel's hair. He rides pack
saddle, as have his ancestors for genera
tionS upon generations and over the neck
of his sturdy little mule dangle his bare
legs, with their yellow hcelleSs slippers
hanging from his toes.
In the panniers Of his pack one obtains
n glimpse of his carpet and bedding and a
belt stuffed full OF cartridges, while anoth-
or mule is laden with u couple of sheep, q
present for the governor or bashaw, who
resides in Tangier. One and all bear Eu-
ropean rifles, Winchesters and Remingtons
for the most part, and even the staid old
shcik has his own across his knees, for the
ways of the native authorities are treacher

who should try TO arrest the chief when

II was spending the summer on that
| quaint old isle before the rush of summer
tourists had put an end TO its old time
| charm. l skctched good deal out of
| doors, but when the weather was bad I
| made the best of it by working on pic
turc Of the interior of one of the old houses.
The people who owned the house were
so nice to me that when finished my pic
ture l thought to repay them in part for
their courtesy by making for them a
sketch of my more ambitious canvas. For
the sake of variety, however, drew in the
figure of an old man sitting in big chair
and gazing abstractedly into the fireplace
1t was II fancy figure, pure and simple,
and drawn without model, but the face be-
longel TO the type that one so often sees
along the New England coast.
But imagine my surprise, however,
when l came to present the sketch to my
friends, for they drew back from it as if 1
had given them something uncanny, and
the man said:
Why, that's a picture of my father,
precisely as have seen him sitting in front
Of that fireplace hundreds of times, gazing
into the Goals and thinking of the days
when he sailed out of the harbor of Nam
tuckct
And his wife bore out this statement
when she said that it was an admirable
likeness of the old man, who had died
many years before ever visited the is
land
The neighbors were summoned in, and
every one of the people who had known
the old man recognized the likeness with
out a moments hesitation. They said that
in every detail of face and figure it was as
accurate as a photograph could possibly
have been.
Nov, of course it was only coinci-
dcnce, but you could never have made
any of those people think that there was
not something supernatural about it all,
and, do you know, am more than half
inclined to think they were right. Wash

Just at this point Hathaway reached foi
his handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

At leading New England college some
years ago when the commencement exer-
ciscs were over and the diplomas had been
distributed, says ID. 5. Sanford in The
Atlantic, a member of the graduating
class, who had been more distinguished by
conviviality than studiousncss, and who
had barely escaped losing his degree, ap.
pCarcd upon the campus and, waving the
much priced parchment over his head,
shouted glecfully: Educated, by Jovel
EdUcatcd"'
The idea expressed by the rollicking
student, more in jest than in earnest, il
Illustrates II notion of education which dies
hard. Tho popular prejudice that culture
is something extracted from books, picked
up in Il lecture hall or IL laboratory or
seized during the ilccting years of ones
school or college life is so prevalent that
it becomes the obvious duty of the school
to press home to the consciousness of eY-
cry person the conviction that an obliga-
ton rests upon him to undertake course
Of education lasting throughout his life
