The American Regular.

The thing about our regular which first
struck the foreign military attaches who
came here to observe our Spanish war was
his unbottoned negligence in dress. While
there Is no end of fuss" issued to this man
fine clothes, brasses, lace, pom.pons, and
l don't know what not-he keeps 1t in a
chest in his barracks and he hates the sight
of it. Nothing but sentry with loaded
gun and positive orders to kill could make
him keep his coat buttOned. This is be-
cause he is an American aud that is the
national character.
A foreign officer asked at Tampa last
spring: "Why does he have all this
tentage, all this transportation, all these
cooking things-surely he does not take II
to war?"
"Wait," replied.
Later the officer saw him at Santiago and
the property was left behind. he trudged
along with his blanket-roll-his 'three
days" In the haversack, his ammunition, tin
cup and meat tin. He was light and field
like-very much admired by the foreigner.
Only one regiment at Havana has the
karkie clothing and none have the cork
helmets or panama hats SO much needed In
the tropics. The official ostrlches In Wash
Ington should be made to pull their heads
out of the sand and look up; but, alas
there is no one to make them Frederic

A Mother Who IS Patiently Awaiting
the Return of Her Dead Soldier
Boys BODY,

Boys BODY.
From the Detroit Evening News.
For three weeks. Mrs. Margaret Maloney,
of OwossO, has been in Detroit waiting with
aching heart for the remains of her soldier
son, who died in far-otf, fever haunted Sib-
0ney one burning day in August last,
After brave battle with the enemy that
mocks at shot and shell, Private Daniel
Maloney, Co. G, Thirty third Michigan,
gave up the struggle and answered roll call
elsewhere. His bier was flag g-shrined cot,
his resting place rudely marked grave.
But when the growl of war was stilled and
there was time to think of American human
ity, the strong hand of the government tore
away the clOds of earth and sent promise
that the bodies of its soldier dead would be
brought back TO the country under whose
banner they had sacrificed their lives. Next
came tidings that the Roumania had started
hCmeward with its silent freight.
Then it was that Daniels another came to
Detroit to meet her boy. She should not be
able to see even his face, bu. she wanted to
, come as far as her money would bring her,
to get her boy and take him homie.
Days heightened into weeks before the
telegraph told that the Roumania had arriv-
ed at New York. Then came-nothing.
Nothing but weary waiting for the ships
secret: What had it borne from the land
of death?
Last Sunday while the bells were ringing
out the story of the Resurrection, the bereft
mother sought the home of Secretary Dennis
DOnahue, of the police commission, and
begged him to help her find Daniel" AS
the tried friend of Michigan soldiers listened
to the pathetic plea, there came floating
down from the room above these words of q
song the 'boys" were singing:
One knew the JOY of a mothers love
'Daniel was such good boy" the mother
was saying. "He was always kind, and
when sorrow came he"
Breathing farewell prayer
''drove it away or made it easier to bear.
1t almost broke my heart to see him go,
but"
For his mother so old and gray
'be said he'd come back alive and we'll.
and"
He closed his eyes to the earth and skies-o
''for me to keep stout heart"
Just as the sun went down.
"and not to worry. prayed every day and
kept up until"
She stopped and listened. The chorus,
strong and full, cruelty brought every word
to her ears:
One thought OF the mother at home, alone,
Feeble and old and gray;
One of the sweetheart he left in town,
Happy and young and gay
One kissed ringlet of thin gray hair,
One kissed a lock of brown;
Bidding farewell to the stars and stripes,
Just as the sun went down.
With low moan the white haired search
er for her boy bowed her head and sobbed
out her sorrow.
The witness Of her grief stepped softly
into the hall and called huskily:
Don't, boys; the mothers here!"

Reading and Sewing.

There would be fewer glasses worn
upon the street if people would use
them for reading and sewing earlier.
1t is hear work that wears out the eyes.
The book-keeper, the typewriter, the
dress maker, the child in school, are all
putting their eyes to the hardest strain.
A great many have constant headaches
which they attribute to indigestion and
nervousness, when the cause is simply
overtaxed eyes. If in reading the even
ing paper you have to place the light
"just so;" If the letters all run together;
if you have to close your eyes and rub
them, it is natures protest against
over work. If threading your needle
is more difficult than it used to be it is
the first warning of defective eyesight.
The sooner you wear glasses for near
work the better. If you commence at
once very likely you will only have to
wear them in reading and sewing. If
you go on straining your eyes, the
chances are you will soon have to wear
glasses constantly. "A stitch in time
saves nine"
