Many Leaving Service.

Washington.-So many men are buy
ing their way cut of the army and re
fusing to re-enlist after serving term
that officers Of the service have be-
come alarmed. 1t is causing them no
end of worry and concern. In the last
year 1888 soldiers bought their dis
charges from the military service. In
the preceding year, few more than
two-thirds of this number bought their
way into civilian life. In 1908 approx
imately one-third. or 1,125 men
availed themselves Of this privilege In
other words. the increase in the last
three years has been almost so per

had brought back only the chrysee-
phantine carving This he gave to one
smiling cousin amid the disappointed
looks of the other relatives. Why. the
disappointed ones asked. had he exc.
cuted that one particular commission
and disregarded the rest?
