But the most remarkable thing Is
the figures In connection with the
regular army enlistment under Col
onel Roosevelt's plan to raise a di-
vision for active service. The total
enlistment from April ! to April "a
for the regular army was 32,-
o22. The number enlisted in The
Roosevelt division is $4,000. This
av be called a strictly voluntary en-
listment The number of DAYS dur
ing which this enlistment took place
is approximately one-half Of that in
which the 32.o22 enlisted. The
question Of CONSUMPTION later also
entered into the enlistment in the
regular army. This in conjunction
with the large number Of recruiting
officers in the different recruiting
stations throughout the nation
makes the situation the more re-
markahle. II likewise emphasizes
the popularity and strong personal
following of Roosevelt regardless of

might he able to- whip an old negro,
but he couldn't whip him. Bowman
retorted that he could whip the whole
Kunz family. Hot words followed
and Bowman invited Kunz outside.
The latter took off his coat and the
two eame together, and kunz was
knocked down. The men then went
inside and shook hands and had a

shooting a deer in close time. The fine

the deer was sold by the warden for $40

was rather unusual and the lad deserved

Of his admission. He said that he was

suddenly ran out Of the woods into his

frightened in that way he deserves sym
