ENLISTMENT ELIGIBILITY.
Minimum Age Limit n Hard Blow to
Many WOuld-Bc Soldiers.

Why do they have such thing as an
age limit as a condition of eligibility for
new recruits" More than one younGster
who has tried to get past Lieutenant II.
F. Wakefield. recruiting officer at the
armory, is asking that question y day
or two ago a 16-year-old boy who looked
more like 81 met all the requirements
but the one and fibbed about his age.
He was one OF the huskest woud-be
soldiers that have applied. There was
nothing against him but his age.
The son of a Spanish War veteran was
another recruit who provided an EEK
perience." It took some hours TO finally
determine whether he was fit material.
During the interim his father kept the
telephone wires warm with inquiries as
to his chances. Evidently father at least
did rear his boy to be a sOldior-if
necessary.
quite n number of the new recruits
saws the lieutenant. are men who for-
merly lived across the lake in New York.
They measure up we'll with the Yer
monitors in physical fitness, etc, and are,
In fact. about the same calibre.
1t Is up to the recruiting officer to re-
iect married applicants if he likes The
instructions from the adjutant- general in
Washington say: Married men will be
enlisted only upon the approval Of a
regimental commander, or other proper
commanding officer II for other than reri-
mental organization" Married men have
been advised not to enlist at present,
but it is expected many will do so II
emolument is made sufficient for their
families Another condition, of course, is
honorable discharge In case one has seen
| service before: mo man who has bee,,
| a member OF the organized militia of
| any State, Territory. or the District of
Columbia will be enlisted in the regular
army until he presents satisfactory evi-
dence that he has been honorably dis
charged therefrom. In no case shall an

BESIDE THE ROSE TREE.

ponder DER the mystery of death,
Whence hath the spirit flown?
The bright laughter, the respiratve
breath,
So still and cold in death?
I hear a plaintive note, 1t swell
In distant waters moan.
o fleeing day ii family knells
Ger meadows flower strown.
Sleeping beside the rose-tree,
Place sacred and blest,
A-down the green-sward hill slope,
Loved one. sweetly rest.
SO cold, the branches whisper overhead
So cold and still is death,
And yeti am the life" our Saviour
said.
Beyond the stars somewhere
There must be life, so free, so fair,
With Him there is no death
Radiant happiness is there
For this my faith striveth.
Dreaming beside the rose-tree
Looking toward the west,
Thoughts are white-robed visions,
a crown, a harp and rest.

A dry preacher in some remote part OF
the country had a fairly large congrega-
ton on a very hot day. His subject was
merely the prophets their message ana
so on. He went through the Old Testa-
ment, giving to each prophet his place OF
honor and appreciation. Finally, reach
ing the last book of the Old Testament, no
demanded: And now We come to Mala-
chi What shall we do with MaiachiF
What place shall we give Malachi?' An
old woman arose to depart. Malachi can

RAISING ALFALFA.
rom the BenninGton BannerO

(From the Pennington Banner]
Vermont farmers are paying more at
tention to the raising of alfalfa. ON
A. five-acre patch in the town of Shell
burne a heavy crop of the clover was
cut on May % and with the heavy RAIN
fall that has prevailed it is probable
that two more big cuttings will be Sc
cured. The crop cut last month stood
70 inches high and was very thick ana
even. Alfalfa is a somewhat difficus
crop to start as the ground requires
careful preparation, but once well es'
tablished the returns are far greater
than those that can be obtained frow
any other forage.

Something Pathetic.

Without violating any condolences,
The Sentinel views as pathetic the fact
that neither Hon. WA. Winter nor Hon.
J.A. Blount became benedicts during the
sitting of the Legislature, especially is
this true as to the former. He Is
willing but just somehow the girl
and the opportunity never meet when
he is around. The Sentinel also feels
warranted in stating that Mr.. Winter
is giving this serious question no little
thought these days and that he is real
~ yearning for the hour that he can
sit under the shade of an apple tree
and peel apples for some lovely damsel
while ever and anon tickling the dim
pies on her dainty cheek, or perhaps by
varying matters occasionally and
Lifting her on her pink toe tips
While he plants one squarely on her
lips.
He is not one whit too good to be
guilty of something of the sort. Win
ter is bully fellow and deserves the
and affections of some exceptionally
fine woman.
