seems rather an ambiguous phrase, as
we read further on that each trooper
was ordered "to furnish himself with
Serviceable horse, at least IA hands
high, a good saddle, bride, housing,
holsters, breast plate and crupper, a
pair of boots and spurs, pair OF pistols,
a sabre, a cartridge box. to contain
twelve cartridges for his pistols" and
that each commissioned officer was in
structed to be armed with a sword and
a pair of pistols, the holsters of which
to be covered with bearskin caps"
The penalty for failure to report on
training days was severe, and was usual
" the result of findings by court-mar-
tial. From $40 to $50 fine was the range
among privates, with removal from
Office as the extreme for officers. The
few persons specifically mentioned as
exempt from military service make an
interesting item, among them being
two ferrymen employed to each boat;
the professors, tutors and students OF
Columbia College; the actual attendant
of every grist mill; the fremen of the
cities of New York and Albany and the
village of Brooklyn and twenty-five men
residing in the township of Science
tady." Exactly why the home Of the
General Electric Company should be Sc
signally favored does not at this time re-
veal itself, but a pull may not have
been wholly unknown even in those I'M
bIemished days. Quakers, while also eX-
empted, were obliged to pay the sum OF
40 shillings per annum IN place OF ser
vice. There appears to have been no
exception on account of age, as the
sheriffs were directed, in the case OF
minors, to levy on the property OF the
parents to the value of the fine.
A period of tranquility ensued, last
ing until the War of 1912, during which
time the population became decidedly
soft" to use the vernacular Of to-day.
In olden times the colonists were con-
tinually involved in trouble, as every
European conflict had its reflex action
on this side. The Indians also furnished
a continuous performance of a warlike
character. But under the new condl-

the Hubert Street fort fell into disuse.
The northern part of the city in 1872
fairly bristled with hastily improvised
forts, the remains of many, especially
McGown's Pass, being still recognizable
to this day. Most of them, however,
have disappeared in the development OF
Harlem and the region north and west
of Central Park, while in the park itself
a very considerable number have been
demolished.
During the second war with England
a wild stampede ensued to reorganlze
the militia under the general terms OF
the act Just cited. People had practical
ly forgotten the existence of such sys-
TEN. many no doubt believing that they
were secure against invasion. The sud
den appearance of British warshlps
along our coast, in conjunction with
threatened attack by land from Canada,
proved that these premises we're I'M
founded, and veritable panic seized
New York. All sorts and conditions of
the populace were impounded for emery
ency service, and a nondescript army
was the result. What would have hap
pened had these amateur soldiers been
suddenly called upon to face trained
British troops from Halifax is hard to
tell.
Long after the war ended the memory
Of those tense weeks had its beneficial
effect. The old-time military service
was revived, every citizen giving part of
his time to the state, and training day
once every few months at first-became
an established feature of the city's life.
In time. however, the effects of this
scare wore away and training day be.
came one of the most amusing sights IN
anv city in the world. Citizens appeared
Cor duty clad in uniforms of every sort
and observation-disclosures in old, discarded
coats or hats worn by their fathers in
the Revolution; others in the suits of
1912. and still others in any grotesque
garment that suited their fancy. 1t was

and Young. were ranged in line while the

ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?

which she and other women had spent
money. But when she came back there
was a sign on her brothers door that
said please do not nag me- And the
neighbors told her he was becoming lrrl-
tated at her persistence, and that the
only wav she could collect the money
would be to go away and forget all about
t. for then she would cease to antago-
nize him.
A few days later fire broke out III
the bank where they both kept all their
funds. And the woman worked as hard
as anybody to put out the blaze, and
every one praised her for her courage
and efficiency. Some said: You are
quite brave, though you are only wom-
an" and some said, "You deserve every
thing in that bank; but they kept their
accounts elsewhere. And the bank presl-
dent gave her a pretty flower, for ne

woman liked best.
But her brother came to her and said:

The present agitation over universal
military training and the attitude
adopted by many excellent citizens
would seem to take it for granted that
CONSUMPTION was wholly European
idea. and that such a plan was never
meant for this peaceful republic, and
could never be successfully applied. The
fact that it was one of our cardinal doc
trines at the beginning Of the countrys
history may perhaps do much to alter
the point of view of many to whom this
knowledge comes as a surprise. AT all
events, it is a distinct shock to those
who imagine the idea wholly foreign TO
our national life and not at all suitable
to our theory of government.
Some Of the regiments of those early
days became very popular organizations
and were much in favor by the youth
and fashion of the period, the Wash
ington Greys, the jefferson City Guards
and the 1st Artillery corresponding
closely to our crack regiments Of to-day.
Some Autographs of the two last named
organizations are still extant, but are so
rare as to be practically unknown. De-
casionally copy turns up at some auc-
ton of rare New York pictures, as was
the case a week or so ago at the Percy
Pyne sale. But aside from that they are
seldom seen. Their commercial value IS
very high $500 to $400 each), showing
the respect in which an heirloom is held
in this supposedly unsentimental city.

TINE casual reader who has fol-

II he surprised to learn that there
.,rsr was any question on that subject
!. the early days. Universal military
aiming was prescribed almost at the
,srv inception of the nation. Scarcely
oar had elapsed after the evacuation of
Isr York before the following "Act TO
,rrlate the Militia" was passed by the
rsc;slature on the 4th of April, 1886:
BE it enacted by the people of the State

their wits some of the documentary ele-
ments of the manual of arms. 1t was
spectacle for which New York prepared
itself with a grin for weeks in advance
When the long expected parade ar-
reared all New York poured into the
streets through which this awkward
army passed, and laughed and laughed
until its sides ached.
Stuyvesant's famous soldiers, so hu-
morously portrayed by Irving, were
fully matched by the ludicrous crew OF
this later period. A virtual holiday,
training day developed into one OF the
most amusing spectacles ever afforded
by any municipality, and by common
consent finally disappeared.
Persistence in the security provided
by our splendid isolation, fortified by the
growth of the Monroe Doctrine and en-
shrined in hallowed atmosphere by the
advice of Washington, it soon became
an axiom that nothing could happen to
this country so long as we eschewed for
eipn politics. The war with Mexico did
nothing to disturb this serene attitude,
and the Civil War burst upon COM
munity as totally unprepared as in 1917.

For the hour which should fulfil
Their hopes so long belated,
Waited. waited, until

Has risen; and now as before
The call for remuneration
Is made once more.
But what is right, and what is JUST
Must we ask women once again to trust
That work and love will make their plea:
If work and love, alas,
Could bring their hopes to pass,
Had we not long been free'
And vet to bargain now,
To question when and how;
Under the shadow of the sword,
To ask for a reward,
That is a thing that women stOop not to,
That is thing that women will not do
But, o, my countrymen. cannot you sec
This is the hour-no better one will be
For you to give the thing that we
Have sought. and freely set us free.
