Whenever a person had in contem-
plation a trip on a railroad in the days
gone by, many disccmforts incident to
the journey were anticipated. AS time
went on. however, the facilities for
transportation were greatly improved
until, at the present time, the contem-
plative passenger looks forward to his
tour with much pleasure. This is par
tieularly true when the route chosen
is the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway, and the train to be used the
Pioneer Limited running daily via that
line between the Twin cities, Milwau-
kee and Chicagc-the famous train of
the world.

The depopu!ation a. France Is a SUBJ
ject that is attracting no little atten-
ton in the military countries on the
continent, chiefly in connection with
the already visible effects on recruit
ing. The constant falling off in the
number of recruits and the consequent
decline in the strength of the French
army appear to have been regularly re-
corded by the intelligence departments
of foreign armies, and 1t is significant
that military writer's are permitted 20
publish comparative statistics on the
subject in the daily press, says the
London Standard.
One of these writer's, referring in
an Austrian paper to the alterations
which, he says, France was compelled
to make last month in the peace foot
ing of her army, points out that, as late
as 1898, the number Of trained soldiers
in France exceeded the corresponding
total in Germany by 100000 men. 1t
was then calculated, he adds, that il
would, take Germany ten years to make
up the difference, as she proposed at
that time to increase the nulber OF
recruits by $4,000 every year.
But in addition to the ordinary num-
Der of recruits, so many supernumera-
ries offer themselves for enlistment ir
Germany that, according to the writer
quoted, the numerical advantage OF
trained men which France had over
Germany three years ago will have dis
appeared in half the contemplated pc
riod-that Is, in two or three years
time. He lays particular stress on the
facts that the number of recruits pre-
scribed by law in France can Ms longer
be reached, and that last year there
was considerable deficiency, so that,
with all the volunteers-25.SS 1872 in 1899,
and re-enlisted soldiers, 6,52S in 1899
it was impossible to form all thu fourth
battalions for which credits were voted
simply because the men were not forth
coming.
Doubtless these statistics are known
and followed with interest in Germany
Russia and elsewhere. 1t may be said.
of course. that for the present the mill
tary equilibrium between France1and
Germany still exists, but it is no secret
that, while Germany could easily enlist
between 10000 and $4,000 men more
yearly, the greatest sacrifices in France
would not suffice to bring about any
considerable increase, simply because
the sources of recruiting are dried up.

girl trouble has come to the Dresden

degree the young man population, of

when the fair 300 troop out the mutual
salutations are demonstrative to a
degree usually reserved for the tete-a-

of young men, whose admiration is
general rather than particular, make
their way into the doorway and there

A Quaker Barten der.

There is an old suburban inn near
Philadelphia kept by Quaker who
amid the homogeneous surroundings OF
his bar, still clings to the plain Ian
guage of his faith. Occasionally he
even dispenses liquid refreshments
with his own hands, and it seems queer
to hear his mild voice asking, What
will thee have?" The other day there
was crowd in the bar. and one of the
men had already been imbibing too
freely Nevertheless he lined up at
the bar with the others. and loudly
called for whisky. The old man
looked at him severely, and remarked:
James, doesn't thee think thee has
had enough of the strong stuff? Thee
had better take a 'parilla.' There was
no appeal, and James drank glass
of sarsaparilla.

horse with his hat he shouted:

his eyes.

The Texan comprehended her mean

Ward turned his head, and with a
shout of exhultation he threw his hat

had crossed the river he pressed kiss
