NEED NO MORE WAR MEN
AN ARMY WAITING LIST HAS
BEEN ESTABLISHED BY
PEACEFUL UNCLE SAM.

Uncle Sam at last has the ranks
of his army completely filed. That
means there are now enrolled in the
national army 1890 men, who are
ready for service. So fully supplied
with soldiers is the regular army
that no more recruits are now re-
ceived.
This, of course, does not apply to
old soldiers-those who have enlisted
in the army and then allowed their
enlistment periods to expire without
renewal-who are received at any
time, no matter how full the ranks
may be. But unless you have served
already in the national army you
cannot now gain admission, as for
the present the ranks are filled.
Kept for Reference.
Those who apply now Tor enlist
ment are subjected to a preliminary
examination. If they pass this sue
cessfully their names are kept for
future reference. But so many ap-
plicants come for enlistment in the
army that Uncle Sam does not con-
slider them unless they are the very
best. In brief, so many now apply
! for admission that the recruiting au-
/ thOrities may take their choice, TAX
ing only the very best.
Many Are Rejected.
In the past four months not fewer
than 500 applicants have been turned
down by the recruiting officers of the
! Savannah district alone. Whenever
an applicant successfully passes the
examination he is allowed, if he wish
es, to leave his name and a written
application for future reference
There are more than $50 of such
written applications on file at the re.
cruiting office now.
Very Rapid Increase.
Yet, only a few years ago, about
three years in fact, the war depart.
ment was at a loss to know what
could possibly be done to fill up the
ranks of the army, which were sadly
depleted. Only as recently as the
Spanish-American war the entire
ot"AAu4ho al my VI me udLIOn mum
bered only $4,000 men. Since that
time the number has been more thar
doubled, as the report from the wal
department for March 9th of the
present year showed 1890 men en-.
rolled.
Get Increased Pay.
The government has increased the
pay, and now offers a bonus for re-
enlistment to every man now in the
service or who will enter when need
ed. The increase in pay had a mos
marked effect in swelling the ranks
of the army. 1t is said now that sc
per cent. of the men in the army
come from the country districts
which furnish the ranks with men Of
fine physique and also of excellent
character

NOT OBLIGED TO BELIEVE 1T
BOOSTERS Great Brain Burned String
in an Effort to Save
Hens Life,

A dispatch says barnyard TRACE
dy on the farm of A. B. Fetz, near
Cedar Grove, N. Y, one morning last
week cast a gloom over the little
community which lasted all day long.
Mr.. FretZ, with no evil intention
whatsoever, but simply to keep jose
phine from scratching up his vege-
table garden, tied her to a sapling
with string fastened to her let leg.
Josephine was Plymouth Rock hen,
with a brood of eleven chicks.
Well, Josephine, naturally of a
joyous and optimistic disposition,
brooded over what she evidently con-
sidered humiliation and disgrace.
and one morning last week, in a fit
of dependency, she contrived to
hang herself with the string, notwith-
standing the distressed and Mortified
peeps of her eleven children.
Their agitation attracted the at
tention of Napoleon, the husband of
Josephine, a splendid specimen of
Plymouth Rock rooster. He instant
ly saw it would be impossible to res
cue Josephine unless in some way he
could sever the string which was
choking her life out. Near her was
burning pile of brush and rubbish.
which Robert, the hired man, had
set fire to-
Napoleon ran to the fire, plucked
therefrom a burning brand and flew
with it into the sapling. Holding
the brand close to the string he
burned 1T in two and Josephine fell
to the ground with dull, sickening
thud. 1t was too late. Life was ex-
tlnct, and her eleven chicks were
spring orphans. Napoleon has seven
other wives, so Mr.. Fretz hopes that
pc in time will forget his sad loss.

BURIED TOES PAIN HIM.
They Are in a Grave With the Re-
mainder of Mans Leg.

Complaining that pains in the toes
of his right foot, which is in grave
with the remainder of his leg, will
prevent his complete recovery unless
cured Ernest Frye of 256 West Fifty
sixth street is spending much time
arguing with his attending physi-
clans, says the New York Herald.
He was injured in an automobile
crash in Central Park on April 18th,
when Matthew Camp, one of his COM
panions, was killed.
Frye's right leg was cut off close
to the hip few days after he was
taken to Flower Hospital, following
the accident. His condition was i'm
proving steadily up to two weeks
ago, when severe pains, which he in
sisted were in the toes he had lost,
set in. Since that time he has been
tortured by what he says is the
cramping of the toes
Physicians say it is not uncom-
mon to have a patient complain of
pains in an amputated member, but
the extremely depressing effect the
phenomenon exerts on Frye is I'M
usual, they assert In an effort to
get Frye's mind off his troubles they
have joked him and asked him how
he can suffer pain in a foot that is
dead.
Il can't help it," responds Frye.
II know as we'll as you do that
haven't right foot, but these pains
are in my right toes and no place
else. My leg doesn't hurt at the
place where it was amputated, but
the toes do, and nobody can make
me believe they don't"
The agony which Frye suffers at
times has reduced his vitality, it is |
said, and this, with the mental dis
-urbance caused, has resulted in re- /
.arding his recovery. He has re-
NAMED in practically the same state /
since the pains began, and it is be-
ieved there will be no appreciate
until the pains abate.

TO RAISE HERDS OF YAKs.
Englishman Plans to Make Vast Cat
tie Region in Canada.

tie Region in Canada.
Enormous herds of yaks pasturing
on the scanty heritage of northern
Canada and Alaska, and making a
vast cattle region of what is now al
most a wilderness during the greater
part of the year, is what Ernest
Thompson Seton has been proposing
to the Canadian government to bring
about.
The Canadian authorities are lend
ing a willing ear and Mr.. Seton has
obtained from the Duke of Bedford,
who has for years bred the yak sue
cessfully at Woburn Abbey, a small
herd of the animals to begin with
These are to be placed on the expert
mental farm at Ottawa, and as they
increase in number will be sent
farther north and west.
The vast region now lying idle be-
tween the domains of the reindeer
on the north and the ordinary cattle
on the south is estimated by Mr.
Seton as roughly constituting a belt
five hundred miles wide, stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Here four months of hard frost and
deep snow prevent the pasturing of
common cattle without winter hous-
ing.
The yak, a wholly Asiatic OK,
which lives easily all winter out
doors in such ATTITUDES, has already
been domesticated, so that there is
no problem of subduing a wild ami
NAL. 1t is also so nearly related to
common cattle that it may be crossed
with any of the domestic breeds, and
it loves rocky hillside pastures
where it grows fat on wiry grass
that would starve an ordinary COW
or bull
Six of these creatures from Wo-
burn Abbey will not cover Mr.. Sc
toms range of two million square
miles, but they will certainly make a
start, and cowboys rounding up huge
| droves of yaks may yet be a famil-
lar sight to travellers on the Cana.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 27.-The
Marion county coroner made public
today the testimony of President
Fisher of the Motor Speedway com,
pany, in connection with the investi-
cation into the deaths of William
Bourque and Harry Holcomb, during
the recent automobile races.
Fisher told the coroner he examin-
ed the Knox car which Bourque and
Holcomb occupied in the race, and
found that two of the axel bed plates
were broken. One was shattered and
the other was so broken that the axle
was let down to the ground. He said
one of the plates was crystallized.
When asked concerning the condi-
ton of the track Fisher said it was in
good condition when the race started.
He admitted that there was bad
place where the track crossed a ditch,
but he was sure that it had no part
in the wreck, as the car was going
seventy miles an hour when the axle
plates broke
