Curing a shirker.

An old civil war veteran tells a good
story of how a lazy private IN his regi-
ment was cured of Sinking, says the Phil
adelphia Times. 1t appears that the fell
low was utterly no good. He had been
drafted into service and thereafter devo-
ted his whole time and attention to get
ting out of 1t. He spent more than half
of his time in the hospital tent. He ran
the gamut of all the diseases that flesh
is heir to or has acquired through its own
misguided efforts. Somehow, even the Sc
verify of military discipline was made
quate to his case; shirk he could and
would.
one day the regiment was ordered to
battle There was to be a long. hard
march, and a fierce conflict at the end
of it. When the orders came the shirker
himself collapsed. He was taken TO an
ambulance, where he lay apparently in a
comatose condition, hearing nothing
needing nothing. The surgeon. a new Of
hcer just appointed on the staff, was sent
for to see him. The physician CHANGED to
be a keen-witted man, and, after taking
in the situation, he baudaged the fellow
feet, while he himself took the head. and
without more ado dumped the comatose
ehirker head-foremost into the river As
IL was the dead of winter. with ice blocks
clogging the water a more violent RENE
dy could not be imagined, and the way
the fellow swan to shore was a caution
From that day forth he was never known
to try his game of shrk again.

The War Revenue Measure.
From the Birmingham News Dem.) B.

Such a sweeping measure in ordinary
times would call forth many protests, and
could not in fact be gotten through Con-
gress But at present, when the govern
ment needs money to prosecute the most
unselhsh war that history records. few
complaints against the burden of addition
al taxation are heard. The new law as
whole is doubtless the best that could be
devised under present circumstances.

1t is disagreeable. of course, to hear of
rows and obstreperous behavior at the
camps of concentration; but it must not
be imagined that these aggregations are
of Sunday school scholars out on a ma
rooning party. Soldering is a very rough
life, and many very rough men are en-
gagged in it. 1t would be a little short of
marvellous if there were no disturbances
at any of the CAMPS.

Uncle Sam has one little dot of an island
in the Caribbean sea the business of which
has been ruined by the war. The island is
Navassa, which furnishes guano and scan
dals. Periodically for a number of years
there have come from Navassa island sto-
ries of slavery, cruelty and outrages, and
not long ago there was an uprising and
several murders there which attracted a
good deal of attention. The war and fear
of Spanish invasion compelled the closing
down of the guano works on the island,
and now the Baltimore company which
owns and formerly operated the deposits
has gone into the hands of receiver.

The postal savings bank bin has been

what too soon. While the war taxes and
the war prices are of force, nobody will

age of the silver bullion has been going
on as the treasury notes issued for the
purchase of the silver were redeemed and

tie more than So. 10000 of silver, and the
seigniorage from this turned into the
treasury was nearly $35OO.Oo0 The coin
age for the next twelve months would
have been about the same amount hence
the enforcement of the law ordering
minimum coinage of 10000 a month
would increase the amount of coinage
only about 100000 a year This is so lit

silver senators were satisfied with 1t.

While the ships are cornered, they are not

recognize their sale, under the circum-
stances, to any other Power; but they are
still in SPANS possession, and it does not
appear by what right the United States
could say that Spain shall not destroy
them as war measure if she desires to
do so. 1t is to be hoped however, that
they will not be destroyed, but will fall
into the hands of Sampson or Schley. The
American who succeeds in sending one of
