But more remarkable still, they breathe
atmospheric air without the aid of

IN. c. IN READINESS
FOR MOBILIZATION
ILLINOIS 1900 TRAINED MEN
CAN BE BROUGHT TOGETHER
IN SHORT NoTlcE-MUsT EN-
LIST 5000 MORE.

Springfield, ILL.,. March 23 -Adjntani
General Frank S. Dickson today had
ever. ing in readiness for mobiliza
ton the moment an order comes from
Washington Yesterday he sent Chi
cago detailed explanation OF the SAM
tary condition of the state faiT
grounds, which doubtless will be the
mobilization camp in case of call
and explained over what roads various
commands in the national guard will
be brought TO Springfield.
This information was requested by
General Barry Of the Central division
OF the United States army. Dickson
does not know whether or not any
change is planned in the concentration
camp. but has been going on the
theory that the fair grounds would be
used as in the case OF the border mo
biizatinn
How soon the supplies and equip
ment requisitioned for 1892 men
full war strength will be received Is
not known, but all present members
OF the guard are fully equipped All
commands except the Fifth and Sixth
regiments h. the equipment used
In active service having just return
ed from the border. Eleven thousand
men are ready for active service on
very short notice.
General Dickson is not worried oy-
err the failure of number OF men in
the guard to take the federal oath
prescribed by the Hay bill, lie Is
convinced that in case Of a call by
the president all commands would int
mediately submit to the oath without
further difficulty.
While the law provides that guards
men cannot be taken outside the state
until they have subscribed 10 the oath
required by the Hay act there is p"o-
vision for those who have not taken
the oath to take it immediately Llon
the issuance Of the call to federal ser
vice" General Dickson said today. Il
have no doubt that all of the guards
men will subscribe to the oath without
delay If call is sent from Washing
tor"
Provisional regiments which are be-
ing rendered to the governor may be
used to good advantage in case OF Il
call. About nine thousand more men
than are now available win be needed
at once. The easiest way to get them
will be to take them in by regiments,
Under the terms of the Hay bill the
number may be increased either by in
creasing the number of regiments or
by regimenta enlistments augmenting
the present commands.

Hunting Happiness.

In the American Magazine u writer
says:
Men have been living on this world
for many centuries. They have traded
in their lives for many different things
fame, money, power. But the con.
sensus of opinion through the ages Is
that the thing most to be desired is
happiness No man can be really hap.
py unless his conscience is clear. There
fore 1t pays to be honest and to treat
the other fellow as one would like to
be treated. No one cun be happy who
sacrifices his health. Therefore fame
and too much money, either Of which
usually demand health In exchange,
are not to be desired No man can
have the highest happiness unless he
can feel that he is doing little good
by living. that he Is going to leave the
world bit better after he has gone.
Therefore IL pays to bring children into
the world and care for them. 1t pays
to be good neighbor and a good EN-
ployer and good friend"
