There was picturesque scene at one
of the recruiting stations in Chicago
and it is only one of many throughout
the land-when il was known that fifty
troopers were wanted to complete the
quota of a command. Some of the boys
who were rejected went out with tears
in their eyes. Some were too young,
and some weret not strong enough. and
some had other disqualifications. One
black-eyed Hebrew presented himself
with the remark; t'Cuba's all right. but

Every readeg of English novels has
read of annuities, but not everyone
knows that Mr. Gladstone was respon-
sible for this British institution. The
annuity system is simply a plan for the
payment of Englands public debt. In the
beginning of the present century this
debt, owing to the wars which had drain
ed the public treasury. was enormous.
The government had managed to pay the
interest. but the principal was still un-
touched. Gladstone devised a scheme by
which the debt might be paid, principal
and interest, in course of time. There are
many people in England who care nothing
for those who may come after them, so
long as they may be secured a COM
Portable income during their lifetime.
Sometimes a rich man wishes to secure
some old servant or other dependent in
comfort, without burden of the care of
property These people are the holders of
annuties. A man pays the government
$1,000 in consideration of which the gov
ernment agrees to pay him $50 year as
long as he lives, the income not to be
transferable to anyone else At the death
of the holder the $1,000 which bought the
annuity remains in the public treasury.
or course here and there are people who
live so long that the government loses
something by this arrangement. but
they are not common. In the majority of
cases the holder of the annuity is an ell
derly person. and a considerable sum is
turned into the treasury at his or her
death. Owing to the Introduction of this
principle by Mr.. Gladstone. the public
debt has been very greatly reduced and
the old people who are helping TO reduce
it are not left at the mercy of a bank
cashier or a depreciation in property
values Thus. when one reads in an Eng
lish novel of pretty girl left an orphan
by the death of a widowed mother whose
income perished with her. one may under
stand just how that happened. The in
come of the mother was secured in the
same way in which a pension is given the
widow of a United States soldier except
thai in this case the pension was not due
to the husbands services to his country,
but to somebody's forethought in pur-
chasing an annuity.

In recent issue of Figaro that much
quoted but mendacious daily, may be
found one of the wonderful stories which
are told for the delectation of its readers.
1t is an anecdote of the visit of the Viz
caya to New York. The story as told to
Figaros readers is that when the Span
ish vessel was preparing to leave New
York harbor the commander was sur
prised to see crowds on the pier and to
hear them Kissing. Divining that they
were kissing the vessel in memory of the
tragedy of the Maine, the commander
called for his sword and pistols. In full
uniform he jumped into gig and rowed
to the shore, leaving his lieutenant Fin
charge with orders to open with all his
guns on New York If he heard pistol
shot.
On reaching the pier he dsembarked
from the little boat and strode up and
down among the crowd, now cowed into
silence He strode until he daunted the
crowd, which dared not hiss in his pres
ence. Then. having proved the ignoble
nature of the Yankee pigs" he returned
to his ship. According to the tale as
given by the Figaro, he afterward de-
clared that had there been single DEM

and whole-hearted manner that

and groaned under its load OF
good things, the foremost of
which was the barbecued porker
and mutton, that the firemen
spent most all day turning and
bastlng over the oak Goals in the
PIT in the rear of the station. The
meat was carefully prepared,
thoroughly done and most deli
cious. Then there was n huge
caldron OF hash or stew OF this
meat, seasoned for the palate OF
a Frenchman, and the fame of
which will go down in history.
These dishes were embelIlshed

compliance with his request,
namely, feed for his horse, and to

granted, they were 10 consider as

discussion, it was decided TO APP
point committee of firemen TO
appear before the council at their
next meeting and lay the matter
again before that body, when il
refused, it Is understood that the
entire fire department are more
than likely to hand IN their resig-
nation, both paid and volunteer,
and, Of course, the chief with
them.
This state Of affairs must be
avoided, as il would be d great
calamity to the city, leave prop

go the insurance rates, and the
Ocala fire department, built up
by years Of earnest work TO such
a state of proficiency that it is the
pride of the entire state, would

Mr.. Carmichael's request
seems Il modest one. He is
obliged to keep an extra horse
for this service, that he may al
ways have him ready, which is
rather hardship on one man.
