The war department is determined
that the recruiting officers shall re-
ject all applications for enlistment
from minors. Instructions given to
that end several months ago, however,
have been found not to servesthe pur-
pose desired. There are still numerous
enlistments Of young men who prove
to be under 81 years Of age, though
said to be older, leading to applications
to the war department from parents
and friends for their discharge on the
ground of minority, says a Washington
report. ga -;
1t is therefore desired that every pos
sible precaution be taken to avoid the
improper enlistment of persons under
the age of Fl years. To this end young
men who meet other requirements and
say they are fully 81, or even few
years. over that age, should not only be
carefully 'interrogated and theirean ante
cedents be carefully investigated, but
the written consent of the parents to
the enlistment must also be obtained
ii the recruit appears to be under FL
years of age. In case such recruit
fails to obtain this consent he will be
required to furnish his own sworn
statement in writing regarding his
age, supported by the sworn statement
OF two other persons, and these must
be satisfactory to the recruiting Off
Ger, otherwise the applicant will be re-
jected. When the written. consent of
parents or the sworn statements indi-
Gated are furnished and accepted in
such cases they will be attached to the
enlistment papers.

A -seaaslkin Church.

The Eskimos possessed the most re.
markable place of worship in the
world. It was sealskin church. Forty
sealskins were stretched over light
framework and in this tent, 10 feet by
10 feet, services were held every Sum-
day. But the church came to an I'M
timely end. One hard winter the .Es-
kimos' dogs, being half famished,
dined on the sealskins, and only the
frame was left. The Eskimos have
now erected dog proof tabernacle.

At the adjourned regular meeting ef
the council Tuesday evening the bid
of J. W. jones for the street sprink-
ling from July 1st to Nov. LIST, at e75
per month, was accepted. Mr.. Jones
was the only bidder. His bid is $40
higher than for last year, but is con-
sidered reasonable. In this connection
1t may be said that the property
owners where street sprinkling is done
pay the cost Of sprinkling and the city
furnishes the water
J. Burton brought to the attention
of the council the auction sale being
conducted by the Globe store, which
he said was temporary concern which
had paid no taxes and didn't intend to
pay any. He thought such a place
should pay taxes or license, didn't
think such sale was q good advertiser
ment for the city. City Attorney
Adams said there was q law provid-
ing for licensing temporary stores,
but if the stock had been assessed, it
was excepted. This let the Globe
store out. The city attorney was
directed to draw up an ordinance
licensing auction stores.
Mr.. Rapley of the Antlers bar asked
that his license, which has several
months to run, be transferred to the
G. E. Carlson building. The general
opinion was that such action would
set q bad example.
Fire Chief Emder exhibited the
Cooper hose jacket, designed to stop
leaks in hose during a fire. The ap-
pliance is very useful, but Is costly,
$25 each. The chief was directed to
get prices on one, two and three
jackets.
The city attorney was given the
privilege. of taking one of the blue
prints Of street grades to his Office, for
use in drawing up the grade ordi-
nance. The council adjourned to met
Tuesday evening.

A. Bakers property on Second street

for the cement sidewalk In front Of
the property. He claimed the walk
would be 16 inches lower than street,

lower than the old. Considerable talk
ensued but no action was 'a':en.

board of education asked that a COM
mittee be appointed to meet whit hem
aid the manager of the water COM
psny in reg ard to extending water
mains to the Lincoln school. Under
the city's contract with the company
q main ordered laid for the distance
required would necessitate four n.y.
drants which would make an extra
fixed charge of $500 per year for the
city. An endeavor will be made to
have the company agree to put In but

education is to stand part Of the ex-
pense of putting in the main. Some
compromise will probably be made.

In modern times the woman bachelor
frequently occupies a large place In the
public heart, and her opinion is respected
by men and women and her character
admired, her position assured.
It Is tho exceptional wo-
man who remains single for half a CEN
fury and does not become abnormal and
eccentric and ''difflcile"A An many ways.
Without question. living alone, and
thinking alone and planning alone, is an
unnatural state for q human boing.
Bachelors are usually cranky and un-
comfortable creatures to know intimately,
but the. fact that they are less pro-
nounced in their Whimsical Ideas than the
average single woman 4 iss4dne ITO their
wider association with the opposite sex.
The. bachelor is not deprived Of the COM
partnership Of women as the single wo-
man is deprived OF the companionshlp OF
men. The laws Of society and peculiarl-
ties OF the two sexes render the situation
entirely different.
A bachelor Of forty or fifty is often a
lion with young girls, and. Of course 49,,
when agreeable sought after BY older
women both single and married.
A spinster OF that age Is regarded as
belonging to past era by young men,
and the tastes Of the older ones for de-
