many old soldiers are stationed at Fort Myer,
men who have enlisted and re-enlisted until
the sleeves of their dress coats are pretty well
covered with the stripes marking their years
of service. These old soldiers tell many stories
of the old days when the army life was not
pleasant as 1t is to-day and when the recruits
lot was far from happy one. In those old
days desertions were many and some of the
stories which the veteran regulars tell today
of the time when they were recruits let's one
know readily enough why some men under the
old conditions did not care to follow the flag.
Here is one story of recruit life in the army
20 years ago that is rewritten with no changes
of fact and with only little change of Ian
guage from the way that an old soldier toldit:
"ln the winter of 1888 | was stationed at
David's island, New York harbor recruiting
rendezvous of the army. There were about
500 newly enlisted ones stationed there at that
time. The island is a little affair lying fairly
low in the water and without any protection

through Long Island sound.

You, possibly, are a woman, and
don't understand why you have al
ways been considered inferior-which
you are MOTTO the male being.
Well, here, according to Mrs. Pierce
Bailey, woman suifragist, of New
York, is the explanation:
The present inferiority of woman
dated back from the time of the
great days of Babylonia, when wo-
men were the personal property of
their husbands or fathers and were
kept secluded in their harems from
all opportunity to acquire knowl-
edge.
Since those times woman has ever
been belttled in the public opinion.

The New York American, of
Wednesday last, has the following
concerning kid" Reagan, formerly
of 1ionesdale:
Fate took a strange turn yester-
day, when, with former Police Lieu
tenant Frank Peabody on the eve
of possible restoration to the Cen
trail Office Detective Bureau, from
Which he was dismissed as result
of the Howard Gould divorce case,
kid" Reegan, whom Peabody had
relentlessly pursued for the killing
of Roy Walter Joyce several years
ago, was released on $500 bail.
The release of Reagan followed
an announcement from the District
Attorneys office that most of the
witnesses in the case had fled.
Reegans bail had gradually been
reduced from $4,000, the amount
fixed when he was first captured.
Il don't know, of course, what |
could do with the case" said Pea
body last night, but if there ever
was a conviction which l earnestly
desired to get it was Reegan's s..
Should l be restored to the Police
Department there is nothing
would like better than to be per-
mitted to go after this case and to
send the man to prison. This |
would like to do not only because
he is a criminal, but because the
imputation has been made that
was not serious in my efforts to
get him.
Reagan has one brother in prison
at the present time. He was in the
Barrell saloon on West Thirteenth
street about three years ago when
Joyce, a member of the Seventy
first Regiment, was hacked to pieces
with knife after quarrel between
some of those present over a wo-
man. Peabody brought out the
facts that Reagan had the only
knife seen that night and he was
indicted, but he had fled. Then
came the rumors that Peabody had
shielded him, and in his private
capacity the eX-detective took VI
the case and traced his man to Cali
fornia, back to New York and out
to the Coast again.
