THE "oLD" SOLDIERS.

: Yes they are all old-now. The civil
war closed officially in July, 1855. That
is forty-three years next July. The
child born in 1865 is now mature per.
son of 43 years. The boy soldier of 1866
discharged at the age of q is now q
veteran of 65 years.
The gray-haired veterans of today
were boys when they went to war. The
present generation, who have been born
or grown up since, always picture a civil
war soldier as at least man of mature
years because all the soldiers of that
war that they have seen were somewhat
aged men. y,
But, when one subtracts forty-three
from the ages Of the veterans that still
live, the average ages of these boys OF
GIGS is one of the most remarkable
things of that war. The statistics of
the war department bear out and show
the same.
The war records show that there were
2,84l, ,906 enlistments on the union side
during the war. Owing to the fact that
many Of these were re-enlistments the
total number of individuals is impossible
to obtain. The following figures are
also subject to the same correction, but
also it must be taken into consideration
that thousands Of these boys misstated
their ages as much older than they were,
purposely SO as to enlist without the
consent Of their parents, so that the real
proportion Of boys in the army was
greater than the following figures show;
8s2,1l7 were over 81 years Of age.
1,l59, ,7s9 were 21 and under. 75l
4. l51, ,438 were 10 and under.
844, ,89l were II and under.
28l. .O45 were 16 and under.
~ z. 10y, ,967 were 15 and under.
1903 were IL and under. 5E
800 were Is and under.
.s 276 were IL and under.
Of these boys there are perhaps about
500, COO still living, and necessarily, 40
cording to the laws of life, they are all
Of tho younger soldiers and were but
boys when they enlisted. "a

home to camp, the transition and trans
formation was SO sudden, so complete
that the boys thus changed, themselves
marvelled how they could thus be men
when they were yet but bows.
But this transformation left it's marl
on almost every one of them. "Ever,

about common truths, the latter proving

fought to save it-were marked with the
signs of the gigantic task and the awful

as they looked up at the stars from the

call of the reveille in the gray m~rnine
they all looked alike then, as now.
Yes, it was mostly the boys that left
the family circle to 60 to war. It was

said the sad farewell when the boy in

County Commissioner, 4th District

A provision Of the primary law is to
the effect that where vacancy exists in
the primary election ballot of any party
by reason of petitions noe being filed for
such nomination before May 10th, then
in that case the same may 10 fled by
petition and affidavit as previously, any
time before twenty days before the prl.
mary on payment of one half of the reg
ular fee.
According to the above list there are
no democratic candidates for the offices
of sheriff, auditor, or clerk of court, and
only one aspirant in the republican
party for each Office. The Office of
states attorney goes begging on the re-
publican side also. The county COM
missioner job in the second district is
also lonesome, and Mr.. Olafson has for
the present no opposition. This is the
position now held by Mr.. Sigurdson.
The democrats have also only named
one candidate for representative in the
first district, Walter Wexford, who will
therefore be running in sort of three
cornered race with his two republican
opponents at the November election.
In all the list there is nothing at
present that calls for a division of the
party voters at the primary except the
contest between Messrs. Horgan and
NORM for the democratic nomination in
the 4th commissioner district, there be-
ing no other two nominations in either
party for the same office.
William A. See of Carlisle has had a
petition signed for the democratic nomi-
nation of clerk of court but failed to file
the same before Monday, which was the
last day under the law. He will posi-
bly, file it under the vacancy provision
referred to above. We have not as yet
heard of any person seeking the demo-
cratic nominations for sheriff OF auditor,
or the republican nomination for attor-
ney.
There IS golden opportunity for as.
piring politicians in the nominations for
county justices and constables, there be-
ing seven vacancies ON the republican
side and eight on the democratic ticket.
The democratic and republican ballots
will be separate at the primary and the
voter can have either that he chooses
but will not be allowed to have butone-
while the man whose Civilizations" are
mixed-can sit on the fence and look
on-he hasn't anything to do with a
primary election-and will have to wait
until the real election in November to
get in his split ticket vote. The pri-
mary was made to let the "people'
choose without the iuterterence of
bosses-and it appears by the same
token that you have to be a straight re-
publican or democrat to be one of the
"people"-otherwise you are political
hermophrodite.

They were saucy looking things, got up in loud suits of black and gray stripes, not in the least like our quiet, respectable midges at home, and they weren't even honorable enough to wait until sunset before attacking you.

Eventually, after pany adventures by the way, we arrived at the moon, and not only got into the middle of 1t, but made acquaintance with the inhabit- ants, none of whom appeared to be over two feet high or to have anything to speak of between their chins and their toes After that experience, min strel shows and concerts and persons who told your fortunes with snakes, or ate glass, were rather an anticllmax; still, enjoyed them all so much that I was incapable of extreme annoyance when we discovered that the Evening Bat had an ''impressionist sketch" of me which made me look like an elder ly murderess.

 Mrs. Ess Kay and Sally both wanted to lie down tits strange the fondness American women have for putting themselves in horizontal position in the daytimeD, so Mrs. Ess Kay said that she would commission her brother as chaperon; I needn't be anxious, she assured me, it was quite comme il 1 faut As if I would have worried about thing like that!
 I was delighted to so, because the most interesting groups had been pass ing the house, and 1t was difficult to see all you wanted to through the veil of creepers, without continually cram ing your neck Tall, brown faced boys, got up much like glorified Buttons, were sauntering about, holding sum- shades over the heads of girls so young that they would have been in short frocks with their hair down their backs, in England. The girls were in white muslin or pale colors, with charming, foppy Leghorn hats trim med with flowers, and they looked like the daintiest, prettiest of French dolls. But I was a great deal more interested in the youths, who were the cadets first classmen, Potter said, and would be second lieutenants next year.
 I never could take much interest in Eton boys, the few have seen, for they look such children that one would be positively ashamed to bother with them, but the West Point cadets
 though one couldn't exactly take them seriously like regularly grownup men, perhaps) fascinated me from the very first glance through Potter's Virginia creeper. They looked as if they thought lot of themselves, and the girls they were with had the air of encouraging them to think it. I won dered what kind of things they said to girls and secretly longed to find out
 1t seems that in summer the cadets leave their barracks and go into camp, which is a time of year that the girls who visit West Point and those whose fathers sare stationed there like very much. We had a glimpse of the tents from the long street of the officers quarters. and after we had visited a few technical things in which I was too polite to show that I was hardly interested we strolled over to where we could see the little white pyramids gieaming under the stars and stripes.
 I had been afraid that all the cadets would have gone away to Filtration Walk with girls. but to my joy there were plenty left in camp. On chairs under the trees near by two or three ladies were sitting with some white butterfly girls. and a crowd of cadets were talking to them.
