THE ARMY DESERTER.
He Is Marked Man, and His Chances
Of Escape Are Few.

He Is a Marked Man, and His Chances
of Escape Are Few.
"The- most persistently trailed law
breaker in the United States today is
the. deserter from the army" said a
captain Of the United States army.
From the time he is found missing
at the post where he is stationed until
any of a dozen different federal and
civic denominations lands him In Gus
tody he is criminal marked for pun
ishment, and he is shrewd indeed If he
escapes.
"Four-fifths of the deserters are for
eign born and professional army de-
serters with bad records left behind
them in Europe. These men, as I'M
derstand it, deserted from armies in
the old countries, came here in search
of work, didn't get anything to suit
them and Joined our forces only to get
tired and want to quit again. What
they get in the end is a term in the
guardhouse or in the national prison
for bad soldiers.
BESIDE the chances of an escaping
soldier to get away from his punish
ment that Of an ordinary jailbreaker,
bounded by civil officers, is a baga-
telle. In the first place, soldier in or
out Of uniform is a soldier in habits
and carriage, with the telltale step
and mannerisms of the service. The
lockstep of the state prison will wear
away because it is only an incidental
of prison life, and the convict doing
time can do it more or less perfectly,
according to his inclination or the
watohfulness of the guard, but the
whole life Of the soldier Is soldering,
and he can never get away from it.
Now, turn man so marked out in
the world with a fifty dollar reward on
his head and send to every village
postoffice, police STATEN, constable,
sheriff and United States marshal in
the whole country his accurate de-
scription and a picture of him in two
attitudes and you have placed him in
the predicament of the deserving sol
| der and narrowed his chances to an
infnitesimal bit of progress within
| fifty miles from the starting point
without arrest"
The captain said that more money
was probably spent by the government
in advertising a deserter than the re-
| ward Of $50 offered for his capture

His Name Was Sufficient.

San Malato, the famous Sicilian duel
list, seemed to have stepped into ou1
prosaic modern life straight from the
pages of Brantome. His fame had
done more than penetrate the four cor
ners Of Europe. 1t had reached his
own home. Some misguided Sicilian
bandits held up a coach one night and
summoned it's solitary traveller to
come out. From the shadowy depths
of the vehicle came two short sen
fences in cold, staccato voice:
Spread out your cloaks. The mud
must not spoil my boots when I de
scend." The cutthroats fed with the
awe striking whisper Of ''San Malato''
upon their quivering lips.-London Tel
egraph.

Varying Views of the Different Mem
bers of the Family.
This is what the Browns had to say
of the latest addition to the family:
The Mother-Oh, isn't he the cutest
grandest, handsomest, smartest little
fellow in the whole world? Such eyes
Such features! Such shoulders! And
hear him talk, will you? Why, he un
derstands perfectly every word l say.
The Father-There's boy for you
Smith will brag about that kid of his
will he? Well, you just wait until this
youngster is month old, and I'll take
the conceit out of Smith!
Little Bobby-So that's what the
stork brought, eh? Gee, the stork must
have it in for this family!
Little Bella-Oh. ma, he's swallowed
off!
Bachelor BrotherI don't want to
cause you folks any anxiety, but he's
the smallest human being l ever saw
outside Of dime museum. You want
to feed him upon roast beef and por-
terhouse steak right away.
Uncle Jack "a dog fancier)-Is hi;
nose cold? Hold him up by the back
of his neck and we'll see if he's got
any nerve.
Grandma-There you go, spelling the
child as soon as he has his eyes open!
1 suppose when he's a month old we
shall all have to stand on our heads to
amuse him! Give me that infant this
instant before he has collie and dies!
The Family Cat-Well, that settles
my hash! It's either hunt new home
or become a tailless feline inside of a
month. Why, that kids got a grip on
him like a longshoreman's!
The Baby-Goo-goo! Goo-goo! Goo
goo-goo-goo! Or, in other words, I'll
make it good and hot for this family
about midnight!-St. Louis Republic.
