to the army ignorant, uncouth, SLOW
emily and awkward, and, after three
or four years service, they were as
smart and up.to date as any body.
You can he promoted in the army
and double and more than treble
your pay; it's up to you. If you
can make good in civil life you can
do better in the army, all things
considered. There are enlisted men,
and many OF them in the army,
who receive 500 90 per month. be-
sides clothing, lodging, board and
all things mentioned before. A cou.
pie OF years ago the government
figured out that $l5 per month in
the army, with allowances was
equal to 500 80 per mouth in civ.

OF the best reasons is than a young
man in the army is taught selEreli-
ance and how to act for himself in
an emergency. At home you must
not do anything without being told
and the consequences are he does
not know how to get out ST a diff
Guilty without a leader.
Should you have the misfortune
to get crippled in the service you
are pensioned for lie. II not Grip
