oLD-TIME cANTEENs.
The System in Vogue mt Fort Hays
Was Successful.

Speaking OF the army canteen. there
was at Fort, Hays in the early days an
incident which gives some understanding
of it's uses Prior to 1865 the sutler at
Fort Hays had not sold liquor, being re-
stricted to groceries. dry goods. and ar
ticIes of a similar nature. AT that time
the town of Hays, about a mile away.
was the rendezvous of all the unemployed
rufiianism in seven States Every night or
so one or more soldiers would be found
somewhere about the town with their
threats cut or their bodies mutilated. The
commanding officer tried to enforce an
order keeping the soldiers away from the
town, but that was next to impossible
At last things became so intoierable that
Col. Anderson Nelson, of the Fifth In
fantry, then in communicative. by the
way, was a brother to the Cen William
Nelson killed by Col. Jen Z DAVIS at Lou
isville in 1S62-determined to sFy an un-
usual method. Sending for Hill P. VIII
son. then post sutler, tine colonel said:
Mr. Sutler, are you prepared TO erect a
large amusement room, supplied with Dill
lard tables, bowling alley. and other
of the usual appliances? What / want
you to do is to fix up a place as good Us
there is down town. where the soldiers
can buy liquor and have their fun.
Il can easily fix up the place.. said Will
son. but colonel, l don't believe l can
handle lot of drunken soldiers or pre-
vent the sutIer store from becoming
nuisance. What kind of shape will l be
in when your boys come around on pay
day. get full of gin and proceed to raise
the devil?"
Mr. Wilson,, responded the colonel
sharply ''you are assuming duties which
scarcely belong to your department at
this station l am in charge of the po-
lice regulations Of this port and 1 incline
to the opinion that know my duty. What
I want you to do is to sell liquor to every
man who comes to your place with the
price: and Just so long as he is able to
stand up and drink it,
And here is the way 1t worked out: No
man at Fort Hays dared to get drunk and
raise a disturbance under the eye of the
commanding officer. Those who at first
set out TO abuse the privilege got such
summary punishment that they never re-
peated the offence. Being able to find
drink and games in the post, the men
ceased their nightly visits to the town.
And from the day that the "canteen' was
opened until civilization came to the bor-
der no soldier was murdered by the thugs

The Passport in Russia.
CFrom Chamber's journal,

The train slows down as it crosses the frontier
and creeps gently up TO the platform of the
first station Russian soil. Furtiyely peeping
out of the window, you behold a number of
stalwart men uniformed in the Russian style. and
wearing the peculiarly Russian top boots. The
polite conductor comes TO the compartment and
bids you get the passport ready. After few
minutes OF waiting, during which anxiety is
not diminished, an officer in smart grey-blue
uniform comes along, attended by soldier
with wallet He demands the precious docu-
ment and noting its foreign origin, casts upon
its possessor keen, searching glance. Then he
looks for the all-important visa endorsement
of the Russian official in the country of issue;
and on finding it he passes coldly without
word All this is very formal and impressive;
YOU feel as a prisoner feels when the chain OF
evidence is Tightening round him; your thoughts
wander back to the past, and you wondeg wheth-
er any indscretion OF your insignificant youth
may not now be brought up in testimony against
YOU
The utmost care is taken in the study and
registrations of these documents; every Russian
must have his passport; every foreigner entering
or leaving the country must have it, too. Whether
native or alien, you cannot about the
country without the document: when you arrive
in town it must be submitted to the local po-
lice when you leave that town the police must
endorse the passport with their sanction to the
journey. The system gives the authorities the
frmest hold over the people: and wise is the
stranger who complies carefully with every part
OF the formallty.

Litigation seems to have decreased the

closed Dane county has paid S1731.O8 for
fees and expenses in justice courts; last
year S2549.57 was paid for the same pur-
poses. The sheriff's fees in addition to
his regular salary for this fiscal year
amounted to $1435.99; last year his fees
reached the sum of S2270.19. The total
expense of the county for the year end
ing Sept. 80, 1901, was $3.50, 351 SO; for the
previous year S7O,299.70. The county
clerk so far this year has issued 1000
hunting licenses and he expects the
number will reach 1000 before the end
of the season. Ninety cents for each
license goes to the state, and ten cents to
the clerk; the county gets nothing. 436
marriage licenses were issued during the
year ending Sept. 30 last.
