STREET TRAFFIC OF PARIS!

There are nearly half a million horses and
motor vehicles Of all kinds in Paris today, with
10000 hand carts and 5000 wheelbarrows. In
1909 $3.50 accidents we're caused in the Paris
streets by S1,86S vehicles. These statistlcs are
contained in a report drawn up by M. Emile
Massard at the request Of the Paris municipal
council on the incumberment Of the Paris

shows that the street traffic of Paris, II sta

green lot they were. The cadet was turned
out for squad drill with five other recruits, not
one of whom knew enough about soldering to
keep his heels together. A tall, raw-boned
Irish sergeant with the euphonious name Of
O'Baldwin was In command of the squad. He
began to explain the position of a soldier. He
found that the recruit on the right of the line
already was in the position of a soldier. The
truth was he couldn' help himself.
O'Baldwin eyed him critically. Fall out!"
he said.
The one-time cadet fell out. What regi-
ment did We desart from?" said O'Baldwin,
pleasantly.
This is my first enlistment" answered the
recruit, and in answering he told the truth,
for a cadet isn't enlisted.
what company are ye in?" asked O'Bald-
win, though he knew perfectly well, for his
own bunk was not three hunks removed from
that of the recruit.
I'D company" answered the queried one,
and that's where he made the mistake of his
life.
That apparently simple answer proved con-
clusively to the sergeant's mind that he had
an ex-regular before him, for all the national
guardsmen would have answered Company
D" instead of 80 company" The regular who
would speak Of his omman as Company d"
would be considered deserving of the guard
house for a month, for to put the letter after
the company save when it is written is to the
army man the height Of things unmilitary.
"You go to your quarters; we'll look into
this" said the sergeant.
The recruit went to his quarters and half
an hour later the first sergeant of the outfit
sent for him. The "Top" opened the CONVEX
sation cheerfully with a query as to what regi-
ment the recruit had left In the lurch. Find
ing that he was bound to be considered q
deserter, the unhappy one took the bull by
the horns thus: II am serving my first enlist
ment In the army; | never was in the marine
corps and l never saw the inside Of a ma
tional guard armory."
Ever been in one of them private military
schools? p asked the top"

GO to your quarters"
In another hour the recruit was given Z
rife and cartridge box and belt and was or
dered to turn out with the squad of recruits
who had advanced far enough in the schoo
of the soldier to receive lessons in the manua
of arms. Now as a matter of fact the recruit
knew the manual Of arms so well he couldn'
have hidden his knowledge If he had tried
This time there was another sergeant Il

must be a lack Of familiar intercourse in a
social way between the commissioned officers
and the enlisted men.
When a young fellow who has been at
West Point enlists he is likely, as has been
said. to get into a command in which one OF
his classmates may be an officer. Then 1t Is
that a curious relation results. The enlisted
man meets his former classmate, Whom ne
once called Bill or Jim and with whom he
uossiblv roomed as a cadet, and he must sim
ply salute him as any other enlisted man
would, and pass without a sign OF familiar
recognition" Now this does not mean at all
that Jim or Bill does not want to speak to his
former classmate. 1t means simply that the
enlisted man wants to preserve his own stand
ing with his fellow soldiers and does not want
to nut his former classmate by and chance In
an embarrassing position. If the enlisted men
should learn that their newly enlisted fellow
was a former classmate and a friend of one
of the officers they might think that it was
going to be a case of %currying favor on the
one side or of showing favor on the other.
The man who Is once a cadet and who enlists
is more careful IL he is built right, and he
generally is, to maintain a proper attitude
toward the men who rank him.

fellow who came of rich parentage, but who

said, however, that cases like that of this
young man are few and far between. The
man who is willing to enlist in order to gel
his commission, generally speaking, is of goot
stuff enough to make him willing to tak'
things as they come and to take rather more
