HOME, SWEET HOME.
John s. Luckie and Clarence Mcintyre
Arrive From Cuba They Are
Discharged Soldiers.

About midnight Friday night two
discharged United States soldiers
stepped from the platform Of q
Wabash car. They were Sergeants
John 8. Luekie and Clarence McIn-
tyre, of this county, and they were
just returning from several months
stay in Cuba. To say that the boys
were glad to be home again is putting
| IT mildly; after subsisting on the
army rations since May 80, 1898, they
were once more In position to put
their feet under mas table. That fact
alone was enough to make their hearts
glad.
John Luckie and Clarence McIutyre
enlisted In the Second United States
Volunteers Hoods Immune Regi-
ment) at Houston, Texas, on May 80,
1898. With the regiment they went
to New Orleans, where they were
camped several weeks; on July 20 the
regiment set sail for Cuba and landed
at Santiago six days later; when they
arrived the brave boys who fought
before Santiago we're not out of the
trenches. After q short camp at
Santiago Hoods regiment was moved
to Songo, twenty seven miles from
Santiago. There the regiment is still
camped.
The two young Poldiers had not
been In the service very long before
Mcintyre was appointed quarter
master sergeant OF bis company,
which was F; he held this office till
bis discharge. Luckie was made
sergeant soon after enlisting and
while in Santiago be was sergeant In
charge at the "Paiace" under General
Wood. When he was reported back
to his regiment he was made regi-
mental quartermaster sergeant, being
q non commissioned staff officer; this
was a rvspeAsihle office. Several
times Sergeant Luclxie hau Ut~-sa. of
pack trains transporting supplies and
was exposed to much danger from
thieving and marauding Cubans.
Both boys owe their release to the
personal efforts OF Champ Clark.
They made application for discharge
and received the orders under the
date Of january 4. They we're ON de-
tached service at this time and did
not sail for home until January "a
arriving ia New York City On January
Both we're extremely fortunate IN
not being seriously i'll. Sergeant Nc
Intyre had yellow fever in September
and Sergeant Luckie escaped from
sickness altogether.
Both boys say that they dislike
hearing all of the jokes about "em-
balmed beef" as it was too serious
matter to be ioked about. They say
that one would almost starve before
he would eat it and then several
efforts would have to be made before
1t would stay.
, No one In Mexico knew that the
boys had made an effort to secure
their discharge and their arrival was
. great surprise even to their parents.
Sergeant Luckie thinks that VII"
liam Luokie, who was a member OF
the same regiment and who is now In
Mexico on SICK furIouah, win have
! no trouble in securing discharge.
They all come back.

ABOUT the Girls' Industrial Home at
Chillioothe, Livingston county. This
home was founded In 1889 and is q
refuge home for wayward girls OF the
State who, without parents, or with
incompetent and worthless parents,
are drifting toward that terrible vor-
tex Of moral and physIcal destruction
iato which far too many have drop
ped. The home is now In q good con-
dltion. II has 100 inmates vt this
time--has had i73 ia all. This home
has done a splendid work, and, IL
fossered by the State as It ought to
be, will do = work Of which every
Christian man and woman In Missouri
win be proud. Mise Anna L. Clark,
the superintendent, was here this
week and made en- address to the
members of the Legislature last Mon
day night In explanation Of the con-
dition and needs Of this Institution.
The home has room for only 6s girls,
lbut In it are now 100; and the neces-
sity for another bnilding is impera-
tive. In reading Miss Clark's report
TO the present Legislature one will be
struck with her unusually sensible
views and is impressed with the idea
that she is the right one in the right
place. She says:
ssThere are three factors which
enter into the life of everyone,
which, working together, will produce
q harmonious whole-heredity, educa-
tion and environment-the last the
most important Of the three-for, no
matter what traits one may inherit, If
the environment is unfortunate, the
tendency Is downward. II education
ls lacking and the environment is
bad, the outcome is most unfortunate.
In the world these girls have been
kicked about, starved, driven from
place to place, no consideration shown
them, no sympathy given them. Here
they are well-fed, carefully -nurtured
and encouraged, given every assist-
anee in the development of the good
and true. No matter how sinful they
come to us, they soon respond to the
kind and considerate treatment, and
begin to resurrect their lives from the
depths into which they have fallen. "
| These girls are kept at a cost Of
about $40 per head per year for food,
clothing and medicine, and when dis
charged each one is given a trunk and
clothes enough TO last year at a cost
