Garrison Duty Unpopular.

The opposition Of the enlisted men
of the volunteer regiments to garrison
duty in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Phil
ippines, where the epidemic Of home
sickness is said to be especially mark
ed, would be less embarrassing to the
war department., If the soldiers of
the regular army were not also much
averse to service in tropical islands.
The Associated Press reports many
desertions from the regular regiments
in Camp Wikoff which are known to
be due to the fear of the troops that
they will be called on before long to
go back to Cuba. They want no more
of that country.
Between the reluctance OF the vol
unteers to do garrison work in any
territory and the dread of Cuba which
is SO marked among the regulars, the
problem Of finding plenty Of willing
men to keep the military forces of the
nation at the necessary strength is
likely to become rather difficult. The
solution may have to be sought in the
subordination of the desires of the
soldiers to the needs of their country.
1t may be impossible to let all go
home who are tired Of service.-Clere-
land Leader.

Settling the Bridegroom.

Il takes bright woman to rebuke
another woman's rudeness, general
statement borne out by the following
story: A lady entered railway train
and took seat in front of newly
married couple. She was scarcely
seated before they began to pass re-
marks about her. Her last years
bonnet and cloak were fully criticised,
with more or less giggling on the part
Of the bride, and there is no telling
what might have come next if the
lady had not put a sudden stop to the
conversation by bit of strategy. She
turned her head, noticed that the
bride was considerably older than the
groom and in the smoothest Of tones
said
..'Madam, will you please ask your
son to close the window behind yotl?"
The "son" closed his mouth, and
the bride no longer giggled.

= A HotSprings man will bring suit
for divorce, says an Arkansas paper,
on the ground that his wife makes life
burden by trying to convert him.
He will allege that she kneels and
prays for him before she serves dinner
and that she wakened him up in the
night to ask him if he was feeling any
symptoms Of change Of heart. She will
get the reward in Heaven, no doubt,
but the poor woman will be divorced
before she gets there.

The Origin of .Dixic.n

There have been many accounts
as to the origin of "Dixie. I" The one
most commonly accepted is that it
grew note by note of its own voli-
tion, and that Emmett simply put
on paper something that already ex-
listed.
The truth is that Emmett had the
single line II wish I was in Dixie"
to start with. Now, oddly enough,
"Dixie'' or "Dixie land'' originally
referred to an estate on Manhattan
Island, owned by man of the
name of Dizzy early in the last CEN
tury. Dizzy was an extensive slave
holder until the spread of the anti
slavery sentiment in the north and
the constantly increasing risk that
attended the ownership of this kind
Of property forced him either to sell
or remove his slaves south, and
from these slaves or their descend
ants came the expression "Dixie
land" signifying their attachment
for their old home and master.
The phrase passed into the cur
rent speech of the people, gradually
losing all local reference.
But a chance allusion by John
Randolph to Mason and Dixon's line,
in speech delivered by him in 1920,
revived the memory of that now fa-
nous survey, and in some way
"Dixie" e"-doubtless from its SINH
larity to Dixon-was given a place
in the south, for when Emmett first
heard the expression as a young man
it was from the lips Of circus men,
who when caught by spell of un-
seasonable weather in the north
were wont to wish they were in
"Dixie land. Recreation.

Are There Greeks In Greece?

I am unable for one to accept the
theory that the modern Greeks are
in any real sense either the true rep
resentatives of the ancient Greek
race or the repository of it's tradi-
tions. There are more true Greeks
in Constantinople itself than in the
whole of King Georges realm; al
most as many in Smyrna. The peo-
pie bear traces everywhere-not to
enter into the disputed question Of
the Semitic origin of the Greeks Of
old-of the supremacy of the Turks
for 400 years Of modern history.
The Albanian element is also diff
fused far and wide. And if there
be, as there unquestionably is, left
in Athens remnant of the Greek
spirit, it is shown less in arts-or
in arms-than in the unrest and the
desire for "some new thing which
St. Paul, in common with the best
minds Of ancient Greece, satirized
and deplored. "They spend their
time in nothing else, said the apos-
tie of the gentiles, ethan discussing
or inventing the news of the day.

fact as that there is a vessel going

All during Mr.. Cleveland's two terms
as president, Mrs. Cleveland's most ins
innate associates were those whom she
knew before marriage, says n writer in
the June Ladies' Home Journal. One
of them was the wife OF clerk In the
treasury department. who lived in one
OF the most modest little homes In
Washington's most unfashionable dis
trict. This made no difference to Mrs.
Cleveland. Often the white house car
riage called to pick up the friend for
a drive. Another of her intimate friends
in Washington was young woman who
taught music to support herself. Mrs.
Cleveland obtained many pupils for
her. Another WAS the wife of strug-
Cling lawyer, and each week q bouquet
of white house flowers came to cheer
the home of the friend of schoolgirl
days. A fourth was the teacher of q
small Kindergarten, who, when the
Cleveland children reached suitable
age. transferred her school to the whits
house, and the children and grandchil-
dren of the cabinet members, and of the
families of Mrs. Cleveldnd's friends;

DANCED WITH THE INDIANS
How "A Valuable Right Of Way for q
Railroad Was secured from
tho Apsehes.

In 1895 the Gla Valley, Globe & North
ern Railway company obtained from
Washington the franchise fer a road
through the reservation, subject 10 the
approval of the Indians. This proposed
line is to run from Geronimo TO Globe,
i distance OF 60 miles, and is TO be prac-
ticaliy an extension OF the 65 miles of
road that connect Geronimo with the
Southern Pacific station at Bowie.
\ large area of mineral and coal land
is to be opened up by the new line.
Since congress granted the conditional
franchise agents have been at work
among the Indians, but arbitrary re-
fusal was given until the general coun-
ell was called. at San Carlos. Fully 500
Apaches were present and the enter
tainmeIt ot them was the first item Of
cost In the railroad construction ac-
count. 4 feast and council was pro-
posed, and invitations were sent by
means of runners to all parts of the In
dian domain.
There were Indians who had burn ed
slain aud tortured just ont of natural
depravity dancing about on the same
floor with capitalists from Chicago and
San Francisco, soldiers, ladies'. frontier
men, miners and couple of globe trot-
ters. Everyone had to dance The eti-
quette was explained 10 all, and II was
made evident that II they chose TO be
present and take part they must OBJ
serve all the demands of the occasion,
for refusal might lmperil the lives OF
all. The dance was accordingly very
democratic. Whoever the Indians asked
to dance with them responded with a
similar assent.
On the following day solemn confer
ence was held at which the valuable
right of way was obtained from the In
dians on favorable terms.

that the people of Baton Rouge had pre-

these coins were melted down and out
of the material the pitcher was made.
