 the rest of the year. For instance, if I should scold one, I believe he would quit my service. on the spot. regardless of how good l may have been to him in the past or how well I like him or he likes me, as he would feel sure that, through the rest of the year, I would be cross and faultfindng. New Years Day is the only Sunday the Chinese ever have
 There is no distinction made between Sunday or any other day. All kinds of work and pleasures go on just the same, but on New Years Day and for a week or 10 days following, all work is discontinued and they don their best clothes and spend their time in resting and having good time generally. Their chief pleasure is in giving feasts and in visiting temples. Out of curiosity attended one of the temples New Years day and while the experience was in- teresting, still I do not suppose I will ever have the courage to go again to one Of their temples on such an occasion. The place was thronged with beggars and beggars in this country means all kinds of diseases However, if it was not for this drawback 1t would be real lots of fun to go there.
 Just before New Years and through out the holidays, pandemonium seems to have broken loose. You have never heard such dreadful sounds in all you, life Both day and night the Chinese spend in playing on their native instruments and so far as sweetness of sound is con- cerned, tin pans and squeaking doors sound heavenly in comparison, and ex- pioding firecrackers-I did not know when was a child and had so much fun on Christmas blowing my tin horn, beat ing my drums, etc. that I was imitat- ing the heather Chinese, who do the same thing with the object on their part of frightening away the evil spirits so they may not be terrified or distressed by them during the coming year.
 You will never in your life be able to realize what superstitious race the Chinese are until you have lived in their country Really it is often quite pathetic, and in some instances very interesting For example, very often when I go to the park that faces the river I see boats passing filled with people dressed in queer clothes and playing their weird music, beating drums playing horns, etc On one side of the boat is pot of fire which they constantly feed with paper money. At first l did not know the meaningl and import of this strange sight, for thei

ALABAMA SOLDIERS MAKE A SPLENDID SHOWING AT CAPITAL

1 Montgomery, March Special
 Despite the drizzllng ratn, which fel throughout the day, the First cav | airy regiment mounted, rode intc
 Montgomery and stood in a line fol i two blocks before the state capito
 Monday afternoon while Governor Hen derson and all state officials and em- ployes looked on in amazement at the improvement which has been made since the regiment left MontgomeTy
 for San Antonio. December 1. It was the first appearance of any unit O. the Alabama National Guard in the city since the troops left the state for training and border service.
 The regiment came in unheralded and the first information any person
 had was the blowing of bugles which immediately caused the suspension of state business for one-haIf hour Col. Bibb Graves, who became commander of the regiment last week. was in com mand and appeared for the first time in the new position Every man was mounted with horse furnished the regiment during the service in Texas
 State officials were astonished ut the improvement. Men who yere ema- ciated and small when they enlisted now appeared strong and healthy and reported that the average gain of en- listed men in the regiment had been 10 or more pounds. Some men gained as much as 20 pounds as a result ot the life in the open.
 Persistent reports are that the cav airy regiment will be kept longer in the service even if the other regi- ments and unattached units are must cred out. Mastering officers and off cers still deny that they have received any orders canceling the geenral order for the demobilization of the Alabama troops, but they still believe one will ion is that the war department desires to eliminate all undesirable officers and is doing it by mastering out the troops and recalling them by units so arranged that the officers need not be accepted for federal service again This does not apply particularly to Alabama but to all states.
 The belief that there will be fur ther service was strengthened Monday when reports came that the war de partment had retained in the service regiments and companies of Michigan Colorado and Ohio which have not beeJ: mustered out and had recalled into the service certain regiments of IS other states
 Mastering officers announced that the work of demobilization will he continued until other orders are re- ceived Present plans are to begin the work of mastering out the Fourth regiment Wednesday and to complete it about Friday; to begin the muste: ing out of the First regiment Friday and to complete it Monday or Tuesday; and to muster out the Second regiment next week beginning Tuesday,. It had been thought the First regiment woulI not be released until late next week. but the mastering officers Monday stated that this regiment would be taken up late this week.
