make the wild untutorted donkey feel
perfectly at home in his society, and
with an untrammeled and unconquer-
able desire to avoid work it is safe to
say the parents might have invested
to better advantages. But II the boy
grows up with the lesson we'll learned
that wealth and success grow only on
bushes by the sweat Of. the brow, the
parents need not bagrudge whatever
they have spent on him, for he will
be a source of increasing Joy and pride
to their hearts when they grow old
and their hands tremble and their legs
wabble and their steps are slow and
faltering. They will then have two

DISTORTIONS FROM THE r M
One Remedy is to Treat the Deserter

last 1888 assertions from the enlisted
force Of the army, or 6 8 per cent. OF
the whole number Of enlisted men.
During the preceding year the de.
sertions were 6 6 per cent, for the
preceding three years the average was
6 / per cent. and for the ten years
ending In 1904 the av;rage was 4
per cent, showing clearly that the
.relativ, number Of assertions has
been increasing.
Gen. Ainsworth says that until the
deserter Is completely ~ostracised and
the public is made to treat him as
the criminal that he Is there is not
much hcpe for improved conditions.
The :leniency Of the military authori
ties has much to do with the willing
ness OF q soldier to leave ike service.
Gen. Ainsworth reviews the reasons
which have been assigned for the In.
creasing desertiohs. The abolition CT
the canteen, the monotony OF gar
rison life, the increasing amount OF
study and work required Of a soldier
and the ease with which it is possible
in these prosperous times to obtain
good employment In civil life without
the drudgery Of a soldiers existence
are some of them, but the principal
cause of the evils in question, he says
lies deeper, and the greatest Is that
Americans are not q military people,.
In discussing this question Gen. Aims
worth said In part:
"Manv remedies have been pro
posed but none seems to be worthy OF
very serious consideration. Those
who know how the canteen CANA to
be abolished are not hopeful OF its
restoration. There is no likelihood
of any such increase In the soldiers
pay as will Offset the greater induce
ments # red in civil pursuits. The
G m,orts and even luxuries that are
furnished to enlisted men IN our SER
vice are even now criticised by some
as being not only extraVlRant, but in
furious In their effort on men whcss
real business it is to march and fight,
encountered with few comforts and
no luxuries, and the discipline and
instructions to which the soldier Is
now subj csed are not likely to be re-
Taxed Ia future"
