form one night last week and told interest
ing stories of camp life. The young man
who had been hospital steward told this
story:
"A month in our camp in Georgia was
enough to drive man to despair, for not
only was 1t hot, but every day increased our
belief that the government had no intention
Of giving US a chance to get into action or
of letting US go back to homes. AS a
hospital steward | used to hear a good deal
about the health of the regiment from the
surgeons and one day l was very much sur
prised to hear one of them say that he was
afraid Cinch Of Company c was going to
lose his mind. knew Cinch as a big. good
natured fellow, who tried to get discharge
as soon as he learned that we were not
going to have fight. When he failed he
became sullen and moody. The more we
watched him the more convinced we be-
came that something was wrong with him.
Every time we came around we found him
mumbling to himself, and one day a crowd
Of US found him seated on a stump In the
middle of a big clover field, holding In front
OF him long pole, attached to which was
a piece OF cord on the end Of which was a
pin bent to resemble fish hook He would
drop the hook into the long grass and let
1t stay there for a time. Then he would
make cast and when the hook fell would
sit and watch the end of his line intentIy.
Every once in while he would jerk the
line out Of the grass though he had felt
a nibble. Once one Of the boys stepped up
and said:
what are you fishing for?'
He got no answer. All Cinch did vas to
turn a pair of hollow eyes on him and then
resume his fishing. After that a gang used
to go out and watch Cinch every afternoon
They would hide in the grass and almost
burst with laughter at the seriousness with
which the poor fellow would cast his line
Of wrapping cord and his pin hook and then
sit and wait for a bite. Every once in a
while one Of the boys would saunter out
and say:
What are you fishing for, Cinch?
TT got to be the regmental saying, and 1
suppose that the question. What are you
fishing for. CinchY was thrown at the man
from Company C hundred times a day.
By ana by the news got to the officers that
Cinch was going fast. They heard about
his fishing in the fields. and one day the
sergeant major went out and witnessed the
performance. He went back and reported
to the colonel that unless Cinch was dis
charged at once he would be hopelessly In
sane The result was that his condition was
telegraphed on to Washington and dis
charge papers were returned at once.
1.-THE colonel In the goodness Of his heart
went to look up Cinch and give him the
news. He found him sitting on a stump in
the field fishing away, while around him
sat about fifty of the regiment, one OF
whom would yell, What are you fishing for,
Cinch?' every few minutes. The colonel
stepped up. and. touching C1nch on the

simply requires that the applicant for d.
yorce express a wish to become a resident,
whether he ever sets foot in the state or
not.
The property rights of the parties to di-
yorce proceedings are differently affected
in different states. In some only the per-
sonal property of the wife is restored to
her; in others both real and personal, and
still in others only enough for her support
and maintenance.

According to the report of the commits
sioner of labor the total number of d.
vorces in the United States from 1867 to
1856 was 1913, ZIG, and. worst of all, the
showing is that they increase each year
steadily and regularly in the most alarm
ing manner, the divorces Of the last
named year. 1885, being three times as
many as the divorces of the first year, 1886
Figures as to the number Of divorces
granted from 1886 to the present time are
not accessible. but 1t Is safe to say that
more were granted than between 1866 and
1886. Probably over 100000 divorces have
been granted In the United States since
1885
If one uniform system OF divorce laws
prevailed throughout the states and terri

lions would be eradicated. Such a system

Here it ls,' and he handed Cinch the papers.
"Cinch dropped his fishing pole and
grabbed the papers. He gave one look at
them, and when he saw that they were all
right, waved them triumphantly over his
head and shouted at the top of his voice:
This is what I was fishing for, dang We

There was no doubt that the regimental
question, What are you fishing for, Cinch"

phatic and surprising fashion. Cinch was
as sane as anybody, but when he found he
couldn't get an honorable discharge in one
way he tried for it in another.

What is the reason? The answer is SIM

Start with the American factory. 1t is on
the biggest scale procurable. The output
of one factory alone is 5000 pairs day,
and there are bigger ones than that
Now, mark Every onk Of these 5000
pairs Is sold wholesale at the same price.
Not a single shoe ever leaves the factory at
any other price, The consequence is that the
whole time and thought and capital of the
manufacturer Is concentrated on this one
problem-namely, how to produce the best
possible shoe for that money.
It goes without saying that the American
manufacturer has the very latest machinery
and plenty Of 1t. AS soon as new machine
