MILITARY Is READY TO
MEET REQUIREMENTS.
New Regulations in Effect
January Next.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 19.-The Georgia
state troops of the National Guard will
to a great extent, be in readiness to
comply with the requirements of the
Dick bill which becomes effective
January 21st next After that date no
portion of the money appropriated by
Congress for the support of the militia
can be paid to any organization that
fails to conform to the standard of
the regular army.
The officers of the War Department
who are directly charged with the adj
| ministration of the laws governing the
relations of the department with the
| militia, express great satisfaction in
the prospect and the apparent success
attending the workings OF the Dick
bill.
Next year, for the first time in its
history, the militia, or so much of it as
| remains, under the caption of 1.-The ma
tional guard" will be found armed
with the latest pattern of military
| rifles; clothed from head to foot in
regular army gear; supplied with all
regular equipment and with ranks fill
ed to the requirements OF the law.
In many cases in the past the COM
panies and regiments were mere skel~
etons-twenty-five men made up an
average company.
Some organizations had snowy dress
uniforms for parades, but lacked the
quired for field service. Still others
had only fragments of any kind of
uniform-perhaps a soldiers cap or
coat, which with some discarded style
of rifle was supposed to indicate the
membership in the guard.
The improvement in conditions has
been general, but markedly so in the
South, which had formerly been re-
garded as a weak spot by the strict
disciplinarians of the regular army,
who felt that in that section undue
prominence had been given to the So
cial and club features by the militia
men at the sacrifice of military quail
ity.
Though lacking the massive bril-
gades and divisions of the more pop
| ulous Northern states. the militia
companies in number of the South
ern states are now reported by the
inspecting officers to be in a very sat
isfactory condition of conformity to
army standards.

WIVES CAN RANSACK
HUSBANDS POCKETS.
1t is Not Stealing. But is
Their Privilege.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 19.-In disposing
Of the divorce case of Henry Mills and
Mary Mills, Judge Crawford made this
declaration: Under the laws of Ne
braska a wife has a legal and undis-
puted right to go through the pockets
of her husband, providing she does
so without first putting him in fear"
Mills had brought suit against his
wife, alleging cruelty. Among other
things he charged that after he had
gone to bed his wife went through his
pockets and extracted the coin that he
had earned as his daily wage. This,
he averred. she retained, giving him
only an allowance of fifteen cents per
day, ten cents for carfare to and from
his work and five cents to spend in
riotous living. The balance of the
money, averaging about $1S5 per day,
she retained.
In his testimony Mills swore that
whenever he wanted to go out of an
evening and have a time with the
boys" he had to take his wife into
his confidence, telling her just how
much he intended to spend and for
what purpose it was to be spent.
Then if she thought the expenditure
was justified she turned the sum oyer
TO him.
Detailing these things, Mills testi-
fed that he considered it cruelty of
the worst kind and it convinced him
that it was case where the laborer
was not worth his hire. He declared
that his wife treated him like a ser
want instead of husband and COM
PEELED him to perform the most me-
NAL tasks, but all of this he could and
would patiently stand in the event his
wife would cease frisking his pock-
cts.
In passing upon the case Judge
Crawford ordered dismissal. holding
that cruelty had not been proved
HS COutt III it9 OplulOu Sldieu JudI
it is all right for wife to go
through the pockets of her husband,
and extract coin that she finds, yet it
would be illegal to insert her hand
into a pocket of any other man That
is a privilege" added the court, that
only wives are entitled to. Man and
his wife are one, and the property
that belongs to one is also the prop
-erty of the other; so, if a wife takes
money from the pocket of her husband
without first putting him in fear, it
would be impossible to make a charge
of robbery from the person. pocket

THE WEDDING MARCH.

The wedding march from I.ohengrin
the organ loudly plays,
The groom and supporters greet the
gathered public gaze:
The swelling music trembles as are
touched the polished keys,
But the tremble isn't in it with the
shake in Freddy's knees.
Down the aisle the blushing maids
proceed with stately tread,
And each regrets the day is NOT the
day for her to we'd
But there's silvery lining to the
cloud that hovers Ger
They know they never looked so sweet
in all their lives before.
And now the organ thunders forth q
welcome loud and clear,
And hundred heads are turned to see
the blushing bride appear.
Her father, who supports her down the
long and dizzy aisle,
VIII support her and her husband, too
in just a little while.
