Helpind The Poet.

Longfellow. the great poet. was not
ed for his fondness for children. and
this extended to all little folks. wheth
er of his family or not. There was on,
little boy of whom he was very fond
and who came often to see him. One
day the child looked earnestly at the
long row of books in the library and
at length asked, Have you Jack
the Giant KiIler?" Longfellow was
obliged to confess that his great library
did not contain that venerated volume.
The little fellow looked very sorry and
presently slipped down from the poets
knee and went away. But the next
morning Longfellow saw him coming
up the walk with something tightly
clasped in his little fists. The child
had brought cents with which Long
fellow was to buy Jack the Giant

EVERY GERMAN A SOLDIER
FOR TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS.
Each Subject to Military Duty From
Time of His Seventeenth Year.

As the result Of the inquiries which
have arisen abroad as to the manne;
In which Germany could recruit the
army OF 100000 men which 1t Is re
ported she can put in the field. the foi
lowing statement shows the military
service which every German subject
Is expected to render:
Every German from his seventeenth
year until his forty-ffth year is sub
ject to military duty. He cannot OBJ
tain a substitute in his place. Those
who are disqualified through their
state of health or are Of insufficient
bodily dimensions, as we'll as all who
have been in prison. are excepted.
1.-The period Of active duty is two
years for the infantry. the field artil
leFy and the commiSsariat; the 9th
er arms, which require longer train
ing, three years. Whoever can prove
higher education or has specially ex
celled In any field of human activity
does active service for only one year
after fulfilling his duty of active
service, the soldier enters the reserve
active duty and reserve together last
ing seven years. Then he enters the
landwehr for twelve years. The first
levy extends from the age Of twenty
seven to thirty-two and the second lev!
from thirty-three to thirty nine. From
the age of thirty-nine to forty-iVe the
citizen belongs to the landsturm, who
however, are sent to the front only IN
extreme emergencies.
when calling in the landwehr and
landsturm the unmarried men are, as
far as possible, sent to the front first:
then the married men without children
and finally the others, according to the
number Of children.
"As long as the soldier belongs 70 the
reserves he has to undergo military
drill for two weeks every year. The
officers do three exercises Of eight
weeks each. The first levy Of the land
wehr are trained twice, fourteen days
each time.
1.-THE pay for the active private
amounts to 55 cents for ten days. The
food, which is very good, is provided
In the barracks, where the soldiers
have to live. In time of war the pay
for officers and soldiers Is doubled. In
times Of peace family and business
matters, etc, are taken into considera-
ton in calling out the reservists or the
men belonging to the landwehr for
drill.
During the drill and the grand
maneuvers the wives and children Of
tho older men are supported by appro
pirate allowances. Every noncommis
Moned officer who has served for
twelve years has the hight to cash
