THEY HAVE HARD SERVICE.
Soldiers In the French Foreign Le-
8iOn Have Anything But an
Easy Time.

The French foreign legion, which is
again the subject of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mil
itary service in the world, and no one
who knows enters it until he has ex-
hausted all other means of support or
wishes to bury himself says London
paper. Men of all nations are in its
ranks, many of them hard characters,
criminals and jailbirds, and it is al
ways sent by France to do the dirty
work which that country naturally
does not choose to impose upon its own
children
Thus it has held the frontiers of the
African colonies, where every now and
then post is cut to bits by a wild Arab
tribe. The fever-nfested portions Of
tambodia and Indo-China, which Lodi
has described, have also been the scene
Of its exploits. The discipline, too is
most severe, Fiogging is a daily occur
renee and capital punishment is the
result of the most trivial otfenses
Thus The eases Of insanity in the legion
are Of a much larger number than in
any other branch Of the French service.
A physician who has been studvint he
insanity of the legionares saws that a
majority of the cases are we'll deyel-
oped when the men enlist. since few
sane men would ever accept the condi-
tions know TO exist in this corps. He
adds that in his opinion many men shot
for breaches of discipline were not
mentally responsible. and he says that
the same trouble may cause the insub-
ordination among the French troops
with the allies in China

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-05-28

It Ia sometimes charged that Rus
sian civilization lags behind that of
ether nations of Europe, but there Is
one particular In which 1t is in the
lead of all. Five years ago a state
monopoly in spirits was introduced.
which In 1898 was In force In thirty.
five provinces of the empire, and Alexis
Raffalovich gave a glowing account of
the happy result of this daring depart
ure In temperance legislation. From
every point of view, financial, eco
nomic and social, the scheme has
turned out an enormous success. It
was not designed for the purpose OF
profit, but as matter of fact 1t has
made handsome return; 1t has dimin-
ished the sale of spirits per head of
the population and lessened drunken
ness and deaths from drink; finally, 1t
has increased the prosperity of the
peasants and improved the condition
of family life.

There was lack of woman's nursing.
there was dearth OF woman's tears.
But comrade stood beside him, while
his life-blood ebbed away
And bent with plying glances, to hear

shame,
And to hang the old sword in Its place
(my fathers sword and mine)
For the honor of old Bingen. dear Bengen
on the Rhine"
His voice grew faint and hoarser, his
grasp was childish weak,
His eyes put on a dying look, he sighed
and ceased to speak.
His comrade bent to lift him. but the
spark of life was fled.
A soldier of the Legion, in a foreign land
was dead.
And the soft moon rose up slowly, and
calmly she looked down,
On the red sands of the battle field with
bloody corpses strewn.
Yea, calmly, on that dreadful scene, her
pale light seemed to shine
AS 1t shone on distant Bingen, fair Bin
gen on the Rhine.
