Retrenchment in Nearly All
Branches of the Army Follows
Cessation of HOstilities
MANY WORKdEN WILL Be DISCHARGED.
Notably in Ordnance. Quartermasters
and Engineer Bureaus. Where sup
plies Are Not Nee4ed.
Rock Island Arsenal Will DE Affected
More Than Others-AIany of the Trans
ports Chartered for Use by the Quar-
termasters Released.

WAsuINGToN. Aug. co. Eetrench-
nent in nearly all branches Of the
army is following close upon the ces-
sation Of hostilities. Notably is this
the case in the ordnance. quartermas.
ter's and engine bureaus. where the
need for the supplies required and the
men employed for the exigencies o.
war no longer exist In the ord
nance bureau the force ~ the vari-
ous arsenals is to Ie reduced
in all cases where this can BE- accom-
plished without detrment to the
service. Tie Rock Island arsenal
probably will be affected more than
any other. There before the war
ABOUT 940 men We're employed. When
the peace protocol was signed therc
were approximately 1900 men en-.
-aged and orders have been issued
which will reduce this number by two
thirds. Before and during TIE war
large nun bers of con tracts were male
with ordnance firms for supplying ma
terial. In many eases these We're
made conditional SO that they could be
terminated within IA few oars after the
cessation of hoatiliti IS, an The de part
ment has in every case availed itself OF
this privilege. At the end Of the evil
war the government had outstanding
contracts for furnishing a large num-
Der of big seacoast pro;cctiles, but
AS these were regarded unnecessary
when hostilities came to an end, amic-
able arrangements were made with
the companies by which their con-
tracts We're cancelled.
AT the present time contracts are in
existence also for furnishing sea coast
projectiles, but as the government is
desirous of obtaining al! contracted
for, there will be no necessity to resort
to such action as was taken at the
close of the civil war.
The quartermaster's department is
dispensing as rapidly as possible with
such of the transports that were char.
tered and for which there is now no
necessity. Considerable labor is in
volved in this work as board OF SUR
vey has to be appointed to determine
the various incidental questions that
arise pending the return of the vessels
to their owners.
In the engineers department the
services of electricians, mechanics and
laborers engaged in the work of har-
Dor and river mine defense, and of
boatmen employed to patrol the adja-
cent waters to warn approaching craft
of their danger also are being dis
charged as rapidly as is consi stent
with the good of the service.

Good Local Recommendation.

Prof. NJ. r. Andrews:
Dear Sir-I understand that Marion
Short is to appear in connection with
the Teachers Institute in a series of
recitations. 1t has been my privilege
to hear Miss Short on several different
occasions at Mountain Lake Park.
She has been on the program of that
Chautauqua for several years and
every year the enthusiasm over her
recitations grows. | have never
heard any reader or impersanator
whom | consider her equal. Her man
ner is charmingly simple, and there is
an utter absence of that stage tone
which sometimes so much mars elocu-
tionary entertainment. She is espec-
tally happy in her impersonation of
James Witcomb Riley, and of child
life.
| congratulate the citizens of Mari
eta, as we'll as the teachers, that they
are to have the privilege of hearing
her. Yours Truly,
GEO. R. GEAR.
Miss Marion Short will recite at
Andrews Hall Aug. 25th and 26.

NARROW ESCAPE.
James German Run Down BY a
Switch Engine.

Saturday evening. Mr.. James Cor
man, driving young horse hitched
to a buggy, attempted to cross the rail-
road on Front street and was struck
by switch engine.
After night the railroad gates are
not operated. This fact together
with the fact that a street car was be-
tween him and the engine, prevented
Mr. German seeing the train and he
attempted to cross the track. The en-
gine was backing and hit the horse
and pushed it from the track. Neither
Mr.. German, the horse or the buggy
were hurt.
1t was very narrow escape and Mr..
German is to be congratulated that he
is still among the living.

there might be cnance LOT u HARVEST
Home. to be talked about in the long
winter nights that would come. But
after time, Darby's hoe became
weary--although Darby himself was
as blithe as at first-so he sat himself
down on a clod, to refresh the friend
of his labors and to tell wide-cyed
Joan of the ways of the farmers in
France.
"The peasants over there" said he,
"are Jolly lot. They live in a man
ner far different from the ways of the
farmers in our own country. Instead
of isolated farm-houses, scattered
about over wide stretches of country,
as is the custom here-there are, over
there, little farming villages, too
small to even dot map, tnickly clus-
tered along the beautiful roads. In
the early morning, the peasenas set
out for their fielus in their rafting
carts, and when their long days work
is done, back they ride to their little
towns to spend the happy evenings in
merry making and gossip"
Darby paused to swish at bee, and
then would have gone again, but there
was peculiar meaning in Joan's eyes
that seemed to hint that busy bee
was not to be despised as an example
for a certain man and his garden. So
Darby arose and went on with his toll.
Soon, however he remarked to Joan
that all the fertile soil was now well
cultivated, and pointed out that the
vast wastes yet untouched were as
barren and dry as the desert of Sa-
hara. But Joan objected to any cur
tailment of the original plan, and said
that it would be wise to trust to Provi-
dence and sprinkling pot to moisten
the flinty earth. And" she added,
sagely, potato seeds may be sown in
the unfavored spots, for as they are
not pretty, anyway, it will not matter
if they do not all come up"
Darby nearly followed the example
of celebrated worm-but asmile from
Joan quelled the mutiny.
Joan" said Darby, as he pried out
a rock of gigantic proportions with the
handle of his hoe, you have heard,
of course, that charming rhmye which
runs
Where is the man who has the power and
skill
To stem the torrent of woman's will;
For if she will, she will, you may depend ont;
And if she won't, she won't, and there's an
end ont
A cloud seemed lowering over the
garden when Darby had finished his
ungallant quotation, and tear storm
was in sight, but a kiss upon the tip
of Joans nose, in lieu of the signing
of peace protocol brought back the
sunshine, and with it all the content
and happiness that rustic life should
have.
But at last the long day came to an
end, and Darby STOOD leaning upon his
hoe, with the dusk coming down
about him, thinking in all seriousness
of Millet's wonderful masterpiece,
THE Angelus," and the lesson in life
which it teaches.
Darby and Joan are wise in the ways
of gardening, now. Out in the wlds
of weeds that entangle their tiny back
yard, are nestled five fat little cucum-
bers and one ripe red tomato each one
appropriately named and carefully
tended. When the wind is blowing
and the snow is flying outside, they
will sit by the fire and talk to each
other of the joys of Harvest Home.
