Want to Be Released.

Captain H. Q. Pickert Troop B, Michigan cavalry, of Detroit said that a number of men had asked for re- leases. He said that a percentage of the cases were not in the least deserv- ing.
 Many parents are showing the worst patriotism and judgment imaginable" |" he said. "They do not interest them selves in the moral or physical welfare of their children as long as neither in terfere with their own pursuits. but the minute the children are called to the colOrs they immediately begin every thing imaginable to bring about their releases. It is n fine thing for the boys to get this military experience. both physically and morally. They get ex- actly the same food as We do."
 Tn preparation for service at the Mexican border a number of Michigan guardsmen and officers have been talk ing lessons in Spanish. Maxwell N. Rosean of Detroit instructs six classes daily.

Wife Sees Him Cooking.

The heat and smell of cooking at the guard camp were oppressive. Squads of recruits drilled with great determi- nation. In every patch of shade weary men and boys lay stretched face down ward. There was something in the air, a half realization of the things that had brought them all there, an uncertainty of the things to come, which was so perceptible that it seemed almost tan gible.
 Even the jokes seemed to serve only as conventional substitutes for the things that were not talked about. But there in the midst of it all a young sol dier and his wife stood and laughed.
 She had come to the camp expecting to find him marching or shooting, and she had found him cooking, or trying to. Now, he was particularly young man. They had been married a very few months, but she had learned that he disliked washing dishes, that he could not and would not cook and that he was particularly averse to peelinS potatoes. And so she laughed. a jolly, thoroughgoing little laugh that was full of real enjoyment. although there was a tenderness in it that brought q glad smile to his eyes and made it easy for him to laugh with her.

Mexicans Are Scared.

X young German came across the border from Magdalena. in the state of Sonora. to the camp of the California troops at Nogales. He said that the Mexicans down there were almost in SpaSmS of alarm over the military ac- tivity in Nogales. He said one of the Mexican papers came out with an ex- tra edition in which it was stated that the Americans had 10000 troops mobi- kzed at Nogales and were about to cross into Mexico.
 The German said that General Gales had about 20,OQO soldiers scattered around through Sonora. Most of them were in relatively small garrisons They seemed to have enough to eat, but they were carrying guns of every known variety and seemed to be shy on ammunition.
 In Nogales one end of the town is Mexican, the other is American. The chief Mexican business street runs at right angles to the Broadway of the American side.
 On one side of the street walk the American sentries. hugging the shade of the store buildings. Sentry duty on the Mexican side seems to be a matter of inspiration. Occasionally you see d fat buck riding on a COW pony with q rifle across his saddle pommel. In the middle of the street on the Mexican side is funny little guardhouse. The

Georgia Men Happy.

Georgia's army taking the field has produced an abundant crop of songs war songs, co.nic songs, seml-religious songs, songs that are sweet. songs that are sad. Some arc sentimental. some nonsensical Some are rollicking, oth- CTS are plaintive. Some are of whole. cloth, and some are parodies.
 Some you can understand, and some you can't. Some are tuneful, and some resemble chants. Each camp has its refrain, each band its anthem. Troop r, Second squadron cavalry, nightly serenades the auxiliary camp occupied by the cavalry and artillery with camp meeting aria of mountain origin.
 The mountaineers are big, burly specimens of manhood. Their voices are trained to range over hill and vale. It is the possum hunting voice that can be heard over the midnight baying of q group of possum hungry hounds. Troop r gathers each day at sundown in the tent of its comic opera division, Troop x, and sings.

Succumbs From Heat.

The fierce heat has affected several of the Massachusetts men in El Paso. but none of them seriously, except Pri- vate Timothy Finn of Company B, Ninth regiment. former member of the Lynn fire department. He is in the hospital under observation for de- prcssive mania.
 Finn was found acting strangely and taken in charge by the medical otii- cers. Later he escaped from the hos pital tent and set off for Mexico on the run. pursued ny Private Frank J. Green. formerly in Carney hospital, and Sergeant John Murphy of the san itary troops. The guard was called out to take up the chase. Finn was climb ing over the wire fence of the boun- dary when he was caught. Two Texas rangers rode up at full speed and trained their rifles on the adobe huts in Mexico Co guard against snipers while Finn was being subdued,

Heroic Treatment Wins.

The prize winning story of how an Ohio guardsman got by" federal ex- amining officers was told in camp. Tales of men drinking large quantities of water or eating prodigious amounts of food are comparatively common about camp, q number of. .,nen having in this way sufficiently aniplitied their weight to meet requirements. but one day, according to the latest story, n Cincinnati guardsman was n half inch lacking in height and knew it. He knew others had been rejected for no more serious defects and decided not to take the chances.
 Out behind n shower bathhouse, ac- cording to the story. a stalwart mess mate of the guardsman applied a broom handle. In half hour, when the man was called for examination, two we'll developed bumps on the troopers cranium got him safely by the man with the measuring apparatus.

Bids Another Goodby.

With the departure of the Second Indiana regiment. only the First in fantry, the field hospital company and ambulance company No. 2. recently recruited, will remain in camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison.
 One officer in the Second and 260 en- listed men were disqualified by phys ical examination. Second Lieutenant Orval St Clair of the Spencer com pany failed to pass the examining board. The board qualified fifty-two officers and S46 enlisted men. One hundred and thirty-four recruits have joined the regiment, which makes the total fifty-two officers and 960 enlisted men.
 Colonel Coulter had bit of patriotic sentiment woven into his camp expert ences. An elderly woman, Mrs. Cole man of Indianapolis. called at his head quarters and expressed a wish to say goodby to him before his departure.
 "I bade your three uncles goodby when they started for the Mexican war back in the forties." she said. Tt was at Washington. Ind, and knew them very well. I am Seventy-five years old, but I have come out here to say goodby to you before you, too, start for Mexico"
 The colonel and Mrs. Coleman sat down for chat, and their talk drifted to the stirring days when Mexico and the United States last met in battle.

MILAN ESTATE
 CONTEST STOPS
Publishers Son Not to Fight
 Fathers Will.

Withdrawal of the suit to set aside the will of John R. Mclean, the wealthy publisher of Washington and Cincinnati, brought by his only son and heir, Edward Beale Mclean, on the ground that his father was incOm- petent when he signed the document is announced
 The first intimation that the suit would be dropped was obtained after conference between Francis T. Homer, a Baltimore attorney who represents the American Security and Trust company of Washington, execu- tor of the Mclean estate, and Wilton J. Langbert of Washington, counsel for Edward B. Mclean.
 "The suit will undoubtedly be with drawn" MT Homer declared. q am not prepared to discuss the circum- stances under which the agreement was reached or to say what sort of settlement, if any, will be made out side of court"
 Tentative settlement of the suit was reached after MT. Homer came to New York with a grip filled with letters and papers of the late publisher that his son was seeking to get. To prevent their being turned over to the execu- tor Edward B. Mclean invoked an in- junction restraining MT. Homer. He declared that the correspondence would reveal scandals involving diplomats and persons prominent in social than cial and political circles. ''
 MT. Homer said he had read about half the letters. He belittled their significance and importance.
 Reports of scandals that might crop up were the papers made public have been grossly exaggerated" he declared q have found nothing that would in any way affect embassies at Washing ton, nor have I come across anything that might have affected MT. McLean's action to break his fathers will.
 In obtaining the injunction Edward B. Mclean said that if the letters were published they would bring ruin to many persons. Some of the letters were said to have been written by men of prestige in Washington asking the suppression of divorce and social scan- dals. Others were said by the son to relate to large campaign contributions from sources hitherto unknown. At least two senators were reported to be involved

Battle With Scorpion.

Colonel Edwin Hunt. who is an Oak land tCal) business man when he is not commanding the Fifth California infantry. had a successful engagement with large scorpion. which he de- clares was yellow, with pink stripes. The coloners only proof is his word that he fired volley of shoes and that the enemy retreated.
 Major l.. NJ. Farrell of San Jose also boasts of an experience. When he woke up one morning he found n horn cd toad enjoying half of his pillow. He exhibits the remains of the toad as proof that he was successful in the en- suing engagement.
 Army officers place no credence in the story of the California private whose hand was blown off at midnight and who claimed he was assaulted by some person. presumably a Mexican, with a bomb. 1t is believed he acci- dentally exploded some dynamite caps and sought to make his injury appear as having been received in the line of duty.
