RULE FOR DETACHED SERVICE.
Bill Prepared Bringing Field Officers
Under Existing Statute.

Secretary Garrison and Representative
Hay. chairman of the House military
affairs committee haze agreed to the
measure which Will ex.end to field officers
the provisions of the statute which re-
stricts company officers from serving
more than four years out of every six
on detached service. The original measure
of which Mr.. Hay was the author known
as the Manchu Law. caused great STIR
in army circles when it went into effect
in 1872 because il affected the details
of hundreds of officers simultaneously
Secretary Garrison and Mr.. Hay also
agreed that each officer should be allowed
not to exceed two months absence from
his command each year for service on
boards coart-martials and at maneuvers
or on account of Illness without such
absence being counted as detached ser
vice. The bill for the extension of this
law was introduced by Mr.. Hay during
the extra session last year and was sent
to the War Department with Il request
for comment.

if they could look behind the scenes
and see how he has 70 live and how
many discomforts he has to endure in
order to earn a more or less honest
living? He envies the stay-at-home

good food and a watertight roof over
his head.

Buffalo Hunting.
To all men the search for gold has an
almost irresistible fascination, in spite
of difficulties and drawbacks, and they
are many. The bush is thick, the grass
often ten feet high. matted together at
the bottom with last years dead grass,
and in places bound together into an al
most impenetrable mass with tough vines
and creepers. And perhaps after struS-
Cling through several hundred yards the
stream bed proves to be muddy or there
is long. deep pool. then there IS moth
from head to foot and Try again at Some
other point until the gold d-pcarint; gravel
is found. Truly prospectors life has
its drawbacks. Yet, to IA man Who loves
sport thera come opportunities which
more than repay him for hardships and
discomfort Such an opportunity occur
red to me a few weeks ago; after a long,
weary walk through bad country. where
not a stream showed a color of gold IN

A few minutes brought me up to them
in the dense bush. A quick shot was fol-
lowed instantly by a savage charge from
the wounded beast: another shot at short
range and the great animal came down
with a crash. II was all over In a few
seconds. but II was an experience one
does not forget.

We all envy the men who live easy.

cannot leave the bush for long. 1t is
pleasant beyond all words to return to
wife and children, to a coy fireSide and
good food but the call comes TO us again
in time and so we must. Perhaps IN
years to come we shall not hear it so
