SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY.
Old Warrior Eager to Enlist.

Philadelphia telegram to the New York
 World.
 Among the hundreds who apply at the recruiting offices, anxious for a chance to help fight Spain, there are many whose appearance is proof that they can not clear the forty-fve-years-ago barrier Still, not one of these belligerent men will admit for an instant he has arrived even within hailing distance of the age limit.
 One man from Media, Pa, entered the headquarters of the First Volunteer bri- gade with his grandson. He gave his age as forty-five, and his grandsons as twenty. Colonel Keegan asked him the age of his son. What's that for? He ain't coming here to enlist" was the reply.
 Another man who gave his name as George M. Field, his home as Suffolk, Va. entered the headquarters of the engineers brigade.
 What's your age?" asked B. J. McSor- ley, who was in charge.
 "Forty-four years"
 Any previous military service?'
 Five years in the Confedrate service"
 Nc. McSorley decided he must have en- listed in the Confederate army when he was six years old. The man stuck to 1t, though, that he was in the Confederate army, and was only forty-four years old
 Another veteran said he was three years old in the Army of the Potomac.
 "Then you must be over forty-five years of age" argued Mir. McSorley, "as the civil war closed in 1S65.'
 "Is that so?" was the reply. "Then make 1t the French and German wal" But that didn't last year." returned the enlisting officer.
 Look here, you're too blame particular. Put down any old war. Say I fit under General Scott in Mexico if you want to, only put me down on that paper. want to get whack at the Dons just once" Another man admitted he was sixty eight but wouldn't leave the office until his name was put down. Now I've done my duty" sand he, as he hobbled away.

l"Mr., Pauncefote and Gresham. :

From the Washington Post.
 "So Sir Julian Pauncefote is to be re- called" said an uptown clubman who has passed many winters about the state de- parement in Washington. 1T never see Sir Julian's name in print" he continued, without smiling. He was very fond of Secretary of State Gresham, and spent many an hour in the private office of the latter listening to Gresham's western stories, for as story teller the secretary was almost a second Lincoln During one of these visits the representatives of other countries called and waited in the diplo- matic room, as 1t was diplomat day at the state department, says the New York Sun. MT. Kenesaw Landis, Greshams private secretary, was the only one who had the privilege of reminding the secretary of state of his duties He saw the various representatives waiting, and, finally, he called on the secretary and reminded him of the day and the visitors.
 ''The secretary was stretched on sofa and was smoking and telling stories to Sir Julian, who sat close by and thereby be- came, unconsciously to the secretary, the ash receiver for the latter's cigar. The secretary said in reply to Landis:
 "Al right, Kersaw hold them until I finish this story to MT. Pauncefote."
 "Sr Julian rather liked the American secretary to call him Mr. When he and the secretary went into the diplomatic room together the ambassadorial trousers were white with the ashes of Gresham 8 cigars"

Lincoln Neb, telegram to the Chicago
 Tribune.
 Colonel W. J. Bryan, Thursday, began the actual work of recruiting the Third regiment Nebraska provisional volunteers, and by nightfull a good start had been made in the formation of what will be known as Company A of Lincoln. MT. Bryan was the first to sign the muster roll as a private, being sworn in by Assistant Adjutant-General Vifquain.
 The Third regiment, 1t Is explained, is looked upon as a part of the state militia until such time as the president shall call for it's service, and though MT. Bryan has been designated as recruiting colonel by the governor, he will insist on taking bis chances of election in the regular way by the votes of the members of the regi- ment before assuming to exercise his au- thority as senior commanding officer. There Is little doubt but that he will be elected when the voting takes place.
 Company A Is to be composed about equally of the Bryan Home Guards and University of Nebraska cadets, most of whom have had military training

Papers on Nature Study Influences that
Lead Astray-Girls at the Postoiice.

The regular meeting Of the Mothers

"a good attendance. Mrs. Gotf read a
chapter from Froeoel on Nature Studies
and Mrs. Jones read extracts from a
paper on the same subject. read at the
Congress OF Mothers. held IN the city OF
Washington last year. The thought
brought out WAS the advantage OF natur
studies in affording interesting occupa-
ton for children and thereby filling their
minds with pure and noble subjects, 80
that there Is less room for evil desires to
find a place in their hearts.
Mrs. McClenon read a paper on Influ-
euces that Lead Astray, which was
followed by a general discussion. The
double standard of purity, which makes
1t easy for boys to go astray. WAS de-
ploaed. One lady expressed surprise
that so many girls are IN the habit Of
gathering IN the postoilice, apparently to
visit with each other while they block up
the way to tire inconvenience Of those
who go there to get their mail, and she
thought the laughing giggling girls
ought TO 60 elsewhere. Another lady
said that wherever she had lived she had
noticed that the girls had some place
where they congregated and that in her
native town it was the depot, and in an
other town where she had lived Il WAS a
store, and she thought the trolbls was
that children were not taught to do
whatever business had been given them
and then go home without stopping to
lolter on the street or elsewhere.
