"Why don't Americans have garden
houses?" writes home an American
woman from Germany. "A garden

chairs and solid little center table for

GOOD RECRUITING FIELD.
The Door City to the West Gets First.
Glass Men for Uncle Sans
Army.

Kansas City, Mo.-The local army
and marine recruiting stations have,
in the past six months, enlisted more
than $50 men in the service. The
army station, Of course. takes the
larger part of the recruits, but the
marine service has been strengthened
by 1853 men from Kansas City and
vicinity since January 1.
Sergt. ] X. Thompson, in charge OF
the marine Office here has not been
looking tor new men for the past two
months. The marine corps has been
full and only the most desirable APP
plicants have been examined. The
corps is to be greatly enlarged In the
next few months, however, and, be-
ginning to-day. Sergt Thompson
wants to send out so men month.
The army station has been kept busy
all the year. On average 80 men a
month have been sent to army posts
throughout the United States. About
one-third of these were old soldiers
who reenlisted. These recruits have
been fairly evenly divided among the
cavalry, infantry and artillery. A good
number have been sent to the engi'
neer, hospital and signal corps.
| The class of recruits sent out from
here has been exceedingly good the
| recruiting officer says. Very few o.
the army recruits have to draw ou
clothing before they are sent 10 thei
post.
Most of the men we take in th'
marine corps" said Sergt. Thompson

respectable clothes and carrying him

Farmers make the best recruits,

COLLIE RecoveRs THE CAT
Smart Dog Takes Long Journey to

Youth,

A family living In Vermont removed
from their longtime residence 10 an
other village. some 40 miles away.
They took with them q Scotch collie
Of unusual intelligence, but left behind
the family cat, says the New York
Times. The collie and the cat had
been warm friends for several years
and had fought each others battles
with courage and impartiality
After the family reached their new
home the collie was evidently lone

gathered about the open tire some re-
marks we're made about this, and the
man of the house, patting the collie on
the head, said: II am sorry that we

next morning the collie had disap'
peared Three days afterward he came
into the yard in state Of great en-
joyment, indicated in the usual dog
way, followed by George, the cat.
Both seemed somewhat excited, and
the collie showed marks Of battle
Each seemed greatly delighted In the
company of the other, and the old-time
status quo was at once resumed.
Out Of curiosity inquiry was made
by the family, both at their old resi-
dence and along the line Of the main
highway between the two places, which
developed the fact that the dog ap

many stereotyped phrases expressive
OF the greatness of the czar's power,

few of the latter kind are as follows:

Accident at Fort Riley to Twenty
 ninth Battery.
 JUNCTION CITY, Kan, Oct. IA Private Albert Laste of the Twenty ninth battery of field artillery was killed during target practice at Fort Riley. Privates John Connolly and G. J. Simpson of the same battery are thought to be fatally injured, while Privates Leary, Norman, Lancaster and Cline of the same organization are in hospital with broken limbs and internal injuries. A large number of other artillerymen were hurt.
 The casualties were caused by fright ened horses galloping over a precipice with riders and limbers.
 The battery's guns had been placed and it's eight limbers, loaded with am intuition. were at the rear with six horses hitched to each Timber. The drivers had dismounted. When the battery was ready for firing large red flag was run up on staff as a signal to the range party at the targets to get out of range of the guns.
 The wind blew the flag out in the faces of the horses, and they stamped cd at once. Some drivers succeeded in getting into the saddle. others were dragged, but most of the drivers were left behind. The horses dashed over a small cliff and went down in a mass with their riders.

Mrs. E. J. Cooper of South Windsor
 Accused of Youths Death.
 SOUTH WINDSOR, Me, Oct. IA Mrs. Edwin J. Cooper of this town is under arrest here on a charge of mur- dering Charles D. Northey, IT,, a twen- ty-year-old lad. The arrest was made by Frank B. Ham, high sheriff of Ken nebec county.
 Northey was fatally shot at the Cooper house while there, it Is alleged, by appointment with Mrs. Cooper, made at a, prayer meeting Sunday night. According to her own story to the coroner, Mrs. Cooper purchased a revolver in Augusta to protect her self and made pocket in her outer skirt in which to carry the weapon.
 Northey went to the Cooper house from his own home in Whitefield on bicycle. The young man was said to be always welcome at the house, but had ceased visiting the Cooper home regularly. The authorities have learn ed that the meeting arranged by Mrs. Cooper concerned his neglect to visit the house.
 Exactly what conversation passed between the woman and young man is not known, but Mrs. Cooper after the shooting ran out and told a neighbor that Northey had shot himself.
 The authorities at first credited the theory of suicide. The discovery of evidence to show that three shots had been fired and that Mrs. Cooper had a revolver on her person led to the arrest of the woman.
