Everybody has an irresistible fond
ness for strength and nerve. We like
and respect the champion pug so long
as he doesn't fake IL i'm the ring. The
football and baseball player, the horse
jockey, the golfer. the athletes of vari-
Gus kind, every phenomenon OF muscle
combined with "a sufficient amount of
brain To display it at it's best wins our
applause. Just now the champion six
day bicyclist is the hero OF the hour.
We read with interest OF his wedding
hour, the description Of the floral trib-
utes, the details how he was dressed
in his shirtsleeves, with white vest ana
tie, black trousers and shoes with
pointed toes-when he received the re-
porter and graciously permitted him
self to be interviewed. To be cham
pion of the world in six day bicycle
event is no small honor. The ancient
games had nothing to match IT as n
test of endurance. One may smile at
the fuss we make over these champions
of one kind and another. But We need
not be ashamed to applaud them.

THE REPLIES GIVEN.

The decision OF the Adjutant General
department in the first case is that, under
the practice of the War Department, an
oath of allegiance is essential to the mus
tering in OF militiamen The practice,
however, is not required or especially sane
toned by law, and is subject to modiiica-
ton by the department.. The principal rea-
son for the imposition of the oath OF allie
glance is to test the loyalty OF individual
members Of the militia.
An act of July II, 1862, provides that
called into service of the United States by
the President he shall apporton them
among such States according to representa-

1895, allows the President to call forth any
militia he may deem necessary, and to give
to any militia officer any orders which he
may think necessary. An act Of February
Is, 1895 says that the Presidents orders
may be given to the chief executive of the
State or to any militia officer. The call

for service under the call II there be no
organized militia the call must, of neces-
slty, be addressed to the Governor of the
state. This course is considered the only
one proper to be pursued under ordinary
circumstances and is seldom varied from,
except when the President has reason to
believe that the executive will not accede
to his request.
DRAFTING PROCESS.
NO one can tell when the process of
drafting would begin, but it would yery
probably not begin until there were no
more men willing to volunteer their
services. Any country would prefer its
army to be made up of men who were will
ing to fight and who had rendered their
services rather than of men who had to he
pressed into line.
During the Mexican War and the Civil
War volunteer companies and regiments
were quickly organized and placed at the
disposal OF the government. The militia
then, however, was not in the state of high
efficiency which characterizes it at present,
and it is considered doubtful by those con-
versant with the rules of the War Depart
ment that unofficial bodies of this kind
would be looked upon as desirable until
there were no more trained miltiamen
available

law and manager, Julian. He made his
appearance in the Office of the Ryan
early, attired in a natty suit of minis
terial black above which the silk tile
betrayed the fallacy of any ministe-
rial suspicion. If there was anything
in dress to indicate the fighter, it was
not the hat or suit, but the heavy dou-
ble-laced, watch chain, strung across
his stomach, which the worlds cham
pion wore, and which bespoke for itself
the first selection, if it had it's way. of
reclining on the checkered vest of a.

swindler On Bob's somber black back
ground it was especially conspicuous
by the reason that at the center was
strung an oval locket, as large as the
perpendicular section of hens egg. of
gold, studded with diamonds forming
the monogram, "R F." 1t was a hand
some ornament, but rather more con-
spicuous than recherche. But, when
Robert stood and walked his unusual
swinging movement of the legs, and
the STOPPING shoulders, with head
cooked on one side, a tilt only accen-
tuated by the altitudinous silk tile, all
marked the characteristic movements

Mr.. Johnson has done a wonderful

was expected here before that the ST.

Of the forty pitchers in the league,

in the outfit was Pappalau, the Indian.

the ball for Kansas City, st. Paul and

Hollingsworth leads the third base
men, Kuehne the shortstops, and Nc
Carthy the cutfielders. AS a third
baseman, Nyce stood fourteenth, Gillen
fifteenth, and Preston last. Shugart
was seventh among shortstops, Hol-
lingsworth fourteenth and Gillen fiji
teenth. In fielding, Mcbride was sixth,
Preston seventeenth, George twenty
third, and Isbell thirty third, next to
last. The individual batting of the ST.
Paul team was strong, and as a team,
it stands forth in batting, with an av-
erage of 302. 1t is, in fact, only twelve
points below Indianapolis, the leader.
In fielding, st. Paul was fifth only
two points. however, ahead OF the team
