a bookstore where military books were
sold. Rumaging there for something
which bore upon the subject which |

little volume which was entitled "The

to DO It." l bought the book and

memory most of its instructions, and
had studied out and mastered its blank
forms. The next day, in a corner of
the examining office, | still studied and
waited. On the afternoon of the third
day my name was called. Entering the
examining room, l saw Gen. Silas
Casey, the President Of the Board,
seated at the end of a long table, on
each side of which were two Colonels
and two Captains. All eyed me sharply
as l entered. Gen. Casey gruffly asked
my name, age, birthplace, and what
was the uniform l wore. His manner
was SO brusque that L was greatly
frightened, and trembled violently.

"Proceed with the examination, Col

A tall, dark man with eagles on his
shoulder-straps, spoke kindly to me,
telling me to be seated, and to take my
time in answering his questions Then
the examination proceeded. My conf
dence returned, and my answers came
promptly to his questions l ignored
the other examiners, and fixed my gaze
in this Colonel's black eyes.

hatred pulled him through. The last
time they dragged him to Spain, and
treated him like the Russians treated
highway robbers when they had a law
against capital punishment, and wanted
to get rid of some fellow all the same.
They did kill half dozen of his near
relatives, and ruined his real estate in a
manner that it can never be reclaimed.
And then came that San Carlos affair.
The Spanish dragons cornered him In
the San Carlos Mountains, and when
he thought there was no chance of rescue
he pumped them full of lead at close
range, and then put his revolver under
his own chin and fired the last barrel
into his head, upward. By another
wonder it did not kill him, but the bull
let tore through his throat smashed his
palate, and came out near his eye, and
the way it healed, it now gives him a
twitch of pain every time he swallows

Fusion between the democrats
and populists was accomplished
with considerable difficulty in
1896, and even then it was not
complete, for the Bryan ticket
had two tails, one of which was
continually flashing the other:
Watson, who was nominated by
the populist convention as Bryan's
running mate, added much to the
entertainment of the campaign by
his peppery demands on Sewall
to retire and leave him as the sole
nominee for vice-president. The
denomination Of Bryan in 1900
wouldseem to imply a repitition*o of
the fusion plan Of the last cam
paign, but evidences are multi
plying that such a plan is likely
to meet with even more difficult
ties than it did before.
Some of the populist leaders
like PETER and Loucks have gone
over to the republicans. Many
of those remaining seem deter
mined to adhere to the "middle
of the road policy" At any rate
there is strong insistence on the
part of the populists that they be
given the nominee for vice-presi-
dent in the event of fusion. A
convention of old-time alliance
men and populists of Nebraska
Bryan's own state, went on recoru
a few days ago as against fusion
under any conditions, and urged
the nomination of a straight
party ticket. Now the chairman
of the populist national commit
tee makes the assertion that the
populists are sick and tired Of
fusion. He says there will not be
any union with tho democrats in
the next national canvass.
The failure of fusion in 1901
would tend to weaken the candi.
dacy of Mr.. Bryan considerably
for his strength in 1896 lay in the
control of central states, like Kan
sas and South Dakota, in which
an effective combination of dem
ocrats and populists is necessary
in order to overcome the republi
cans.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
