JACKET AND SrUlt. FEW years ago, when 1/ - the of American in gfMßp dustries and the sup \f Mm!l ply of men and mate \rial was never equal demand, my friend, Charley Rrain- Vard, mid I, with a lot of other Summerton boys, joined .a militia regiment which had been hastily called to the front. Not one of 11s was killed, and at the end of our three months' term of service the stupidest of 11s knew more about military life and du ty than any of our officers when we first took the field, so several of us thought it our duty to re-enter the ar- , my and help save the nation. We knew exactly how to it; we knew almost everything in those days, for the youngest of us was fully IS years of age, and one was almost 20. ! On being mustered out of the militia service we were to enlist In the Thirty eighth cavalry, a regiment then being formed about a veteran battalion of troopers near whom we had camped and whom we greatly admired. No more tramping for us, with a musket j on one shoulder and a knapsack on both, while the nation was willing to j provide horses for such of its defend- 1 crs as knew how to 1 ide! Immediately after enlisting we were togo to recruiting. The government was begging for men and, with state and local authorities, was offering large cash bounties by way of persuasion. ' We would do all we could to help the j government to Increase the army; we would also do all we could for our selves while recruiting, for at that time and during the remainder of the civil war the only way to become a commis sioned officer in a new regiment was to persubde some men to enlist and then j see carefully to it that they were inus- J tered into the service. Although there was 110 law defining this method, there was a general understanding which was fairly lived up to by the authori ties. A man who could "raise" 50 re cruits might feel assured of a captain's commission, 30 would secure a first lieutenancy and 20 a second lieutenan cy. Any one who could persuade half a dozen men to enlist could become a ' sergeant, a position not to be despised I In a fighting regiment could the ser- j geant himself succeed In not being j shot, for after a regiment got to light- \ ing the officers who were killed or oth- j erwise disposed of were replaced by deserving noncommissioned officers. I was so sure of becoming a lieuten- j ant that I had myself measured for an officer's uniform before I ceased to be a private in the Ninety-ninth militia, j Had not 27 members of our company I promised to enlist under me if 1 would J enter the Thirty-eighth cavalry V They j did it with their eyes open, for all of | them had seen what there was of the j Thirty-eighth and they admired it as much as I. Their willingness to serve j under me did not Imply that they re garded me as a military genius or a born leader of men. It meant only that iny father's little farm, at the edge of our town, contained the largest assort ment of fruit trees in all Summerton, that I had never said "No" to any ac quaintance who longed for apples, pears, cherries or plums, and that small 1 boys have large memories. Resides, | my cousin May, who had always lived j with us, was greatly admired by all j the boys whom I knew, and it had long been the fashion to be obliging to me because I was the cousin of BO nice a girl. I was not the only Summerton aspir- j ant to a commission. My special fiiend, 1 Charley Brainard, was willing to be | sergeant, or even corporal, under me, but there was I'hil Hamilton, a First regiment (militia) man, who had left his old regimentonly becausehehad to study In Europe for two years, and he joined the Summerton company of the Nine ty-ninth militia merely because his old regiment had not chanced to be called out, and he wanted to see something of field service. Phil was much the richest young man In town. He was also the handsomest, which really is a great deal to say to any one who chances to know Summerton. Ilis mus tache was largo enough for a major general. He owned at least 20 walk ing sticks and twice as many scarfplns, and all the girls were said to be dying for him. Then there was Cloyne, confidential clerk of the lumber company. He, too, was a handsome fellow, and he had been a cavalry soldier in the British army. lie wanted to raise recruits and get a commission. Indeed, both he and Hamilton had seen the prospective colonel of the Thirty-eighth and had so greatly Impressed that gentleman as to elicit the statement that he would be greatly disappointed If they did not become officers of his and perhaps suc ceed him should tho fortunes of war carry blm out of the service. So we three formed an amicable partnership to raise a company, of which Hamilton was to be captain, Cloyne first lieutenant and I the sec ond lieutenant. "To show the other boys that we are dead In earnest," said Hamilton, "there being a lot of trickery and underhand work in the recruiting business, let 113 all enlist as private soldiers in the Thirty-eighth before we begin business, BO our men may feel sure that we are In the service to stay. There is quite a lot of money offered in the form of bounties to recruits. It amounts to several huudred dollars per man. In stead of pocketing it, let us divide It among the men who enlist with us. That ought to give us some advantage over other recruiting officers." Wo agreed to follow Phil's advice. Brainard offered to use his bounty in the same way, although he did not ex pect to be an officer. He wanted to become a minister after the war end ed, and he said ho didn't wish to ex pose himself to any temptation that might alienate him from his purpose. We four enlisted together at tho regiment's recruiting headquarters In New York, but Brainard, who hurried back home to see his sick mother, did not reacli the medical examiner as soon .as we. After Hamilton, Cloyne and I had been accepted and sworn into serv ice we spent a pleasant hour or two at the regiment's recruiting headquarters chatting with the officer in charge, who was to be major of one of the regiment's two new battalions. In tho course of time Brainard crept in, look ing so dismal that I at once asked him whether his mother was much worse. "That isn't the trouble," said he. "The surgeon has rejected me. He says I'm under the regulation height and too slight for service anyway." Suddenly the whole world looked dark to me. Brainard was my dearest friend, and my cousin May was very fond of him, although Phil Hamilton handsome, rich, stylish Phil—was one of her most devoted admirers. The idea of going to the war again, and for three years, without Brainard being where 1 could see him every day was too dread ful to be thought of. My feelings must have got into my face, for Brainard put on a ghost of a smile and said: "Don't be dismal, Jack, for now you'll have the chance to do all the fighting for both of us." This ought to have comforted my patriotic soul, but it didn't. 1 was so disloyal to my new vows as to de clare that if Brainard was not allowed to enter the Thirty-eighth I wouldn't go either. 1 would do all in my power to raise men to defend the Union, but afterward 1 would run away, and Brainard and 1 would goto some other state and enlist together, where Char ley's smallness of stature might not be against him. But this resolution did not cheer Brainard any, and he felt worse an hour later when the three of us who had passed the mustering officer were looking at one another in new cavalry uniforms, while he was In civilian's dress. He felt still worse when we all went back to Summerton and took sup per together at our house, for my cous in May noticed him scarcely at all, but was very agreeable to Hamilton. The next day, by special permission of the major, Hamilton, Cloyne and I opened a recruiting office at Summer ton. Brainard attached himself to us as a sort of civilian aid. He said if he wasn't to be a soldier and fight there was the more reason why he should try to persuade other men to enlist. I immediately notified my 27 men that the roll was ready for them to sign. Hamilton and Cloyne had previously looked at my list and assured me that they would not accept any of these men without specially crediting them to me. Rut somehow none of them made j haste to sign. Some had heard that ' larger bounties were being offered in j ! other towns or states, so they were go- 1 j ing to look about carefully and do the | ! best they could for themselves; others ! | had themselves seen the cavalry major | and obtained promises of commissions if they would raise men; still others j j had heard that so many men were en- j listing from day t<> day that wages for : work at homo were going to be much i i better. Several had spent their final pay from the Ninety-ninth for drink and been picked up. enlisted and mus- ! j tered for other regiments before they became sober. Well, to make a long story short, not | onu of the 27 did 1 ever secure for the Hll —TTiTI i: rn "Don't he dismal, Jack." .•avalry. Hamilton tried to comfort hie by crediting me with Cruse and Whyde, two of our militia comrades who declared they would not have re enlisted had it not been for me; but, as Cruse's parents refused to sign the cer tificate necessary in the case of minors who enlisted, Cruse was released from his promise. Whyde went swimming one day in water too deep for him and was buried three days later with such military honors as Summerton could extemporize. For the week after my re-enlistment my heart was as heavy as if it had been filled with bullets. No recruits; no chance of a commission; worse than all, 110 prospect of having Brainard with me during the three years to come. I was too downhearted to no tice that Hamilton and Cloyne were fiot in their usual spirits, but one day, as the three of us sat in the vacant store in which we had our recruiting office and stared gloomily at the roll which was still blank except for our own names, Rrainard came in, looked at us and said abruptly: "If you fellows don't get your spirits up in some way, you'll never find the government any soldiers, and you won't be fit to be soldiers yourselves." The looks that were fixed upon him quickly by three pairs of angry eyes ought to have scorched him and made him shrivel. But they didn't, for lie went on: "You haven't got anybody by sitting here or strutting around the village. Why don't you go about everywhere 1 and talk your best? Why, there's Mick McTwyny, a village rowdy, who's ■ working for a sergeant's position in the same regiment—he's enlisted seven > men out of the fire engine company alone!" "Mick McTwyny!" exclaimed Cloyne, 1 springing to his feet. "That ignorant ruffian?" shouted > Hamilton, also rising hastily. "Has he • the impudence to want to be a ser • geant in our regiment—perhaps our t very company?" "Yes," said Brainard, "and he'll be ' one, too, if he keeps on as he's begun." 1 I didn't say much; I couldn't. A whole dictionary could scarcely have supplied words to express what I felt. For awhile, as I imagined Micklncamp In a sergeant's uniform and myself • a private in the same company and • subject to his orders, 1 wished it had 1 been I Instead of poor Whyde who had , been drowned. Hamilton and Cloyne began to pace the floor like tigers in a s cage. Suddenly Hamilton stopped and • exclaimed: i "There's but one way out of it. We nmst got more men at any cost. I'll have a handbill printed at once and circulated throughout the county say ing that larger bounties will be paid at this office than at any other In the United States. 'Twill cost all the mon ey and property I have, I suppose, but I'd rather lose my last dollar than go out again in the ranks with a beast like Mick McTwyny in authority over me." "I'll distribute jour handbills," said Brainard. That boy's faculty for seeing what ought to be done always persisted in cropping out just when I wasn't in con dition to see anything whatever. Fret ty soon, however, the old worry about soldiering under Mick McTwyny and of being three years without Brain ard's society came back to me, fully prepared to stay and make itself dis agreeable. I don't know how I should have lived through those days if it hadn't been for my saber and spurs and the chance to display them on horseback. Arms were not given out at recruiting sta tions. We were told, when we received our uniforms, we would have to wait until we reached the regiment for sa bers, revolvers, carbines and ammuni tion. but I learned that there was no law against a soldier purchasing for himself such arms as his branch of the service used, so I bought a saber and belt and took great comfort from the clank of the saber as I dragged it after me in dismounted cavalry fashion. Then I bought a pair of spurs, and as my father lent me a horse with which to ride about to look for recruits, I had the pleasure of feeling that 1 was the first cavalry soldier that had been seen in our county since the Revolutionary — Jfer / ucnt head first over his shoulders. war ended. I enjoyed my spurs, too, after I learned not to strike their teeth into my trousers legs. Our horse Rover did not agree with me. For several years I had found him entirely trust worthy under the saddle, but one day when I was approaching a country store in front of which stood several meu, among whom I hoped to find at least one recruit, I gave Rover the spu's so as to dash up to the group in fine style and make them fall to admir ing the cavalry service. Rover had never before felt a spur, and as he was a thoughtful, sagacious animal, he stop ped short, turned his head and looked jt his sides to see what had caused the new sensation. "Get up, Rover!" said I. He resumed the gentle pace at which he had been traveling, but we were now only a few rods from the store, so I again used the spurs. Rover bounded wildly for ward. Then he reared his hind quar ters high in the air. I went head first over his shoulders, neck and curs, and almost before I knew what had hap pened I was on my face and breast in u disgusting puddle such as is always found by the pump in front of a coun- , try store. At the same time I heard a chorus of hard laughter, and as I pick ed myself up and rubbed the mud from my face a man in the crowd drawled: "That boss 'pears to be a rebel sym pathizer, colonel." I lost all Interest in the war for a few moments; being called "colonel" ; didn't comfort me at all. I didn't ask any one to join the Thirty-eighth. I merely picked up my cap, mounted Ro- j ver and went 011 us if my errand would ; carry me farther. Even then my liu- j miliatlon was not complete, for some one shouted: "Hadn't ye better take yor frog stick er with ye*/" I looked back and saw one of the men with my saber In his hand. It had fallen from the scabbard as I went down. As I rode back to get it the man who held It was trying tho edge with his thumb. "That won't make no reb feel un happy," said the fellow as he handed me the weapon. "It's got an edge like the back of a hoc." I sheathed the sword and passed 011 without even saying "Thank you." I rode until I reached a bit of wooded land. There I dismounted, removed my spurs and buried them in the hol low of a rotten stump, where I found them after the war ended. They hang in my bedroom now to give me a friendly warning whenever I am tempt ed to put on airs nbout anything. [TO BE CONTINUED.) Hint to (he Art Amntfnp.

A question of vital interest to the ma jority of mothers today is what food is I best calculated to meet the demands of 1 growing childhood as well as to supply the waste of its tissues. With the fast I growing child its demands fur food ofttimes seem inconsistent, but in most instances it will be found that its sys lein is really in need of a certain food ' substance, which can only be got by eating an excess of the unnecessary food in order to obtain it. With active exercise of both mind and body, as with the rollicking school | boy, the demand for proper food is great. In most instances, and leaving It to the children's decision, "proper food" means pastries, etc. Instead of j these building up and repairing tho body, they serve to give more heat and energy to an already worn, tired out nature. The virtues of whole wheat bread for the growing child are many. It supplies every need and want of the human body. It not only gives heat and energy, but is a constant repairer of waste tissue, while its mineral con stituents convert cartilage into strong, healthy bone and teeth. Sandwiches of this bread daintily put together with a thin slice of cold meat or some meat preparation form a most acceptable lunch, and if these are incased in the waxed itaper used by bakers, and which can be purchased of them, they will keep moist and fresh for hours. Do not forget to use butter 011 the bread quite as liberally as if 110 sand wich was to be made. A certain por tion of fat is absolutely necessary to the body's development :is well. Sweet, fresh butter or cream is the best form of fat, and a liberal use of these is quite sufficient f«>i* the body's needs. In preparing the school luncheon do not forget to tuck in a bit of fruit of some kind. Sweet fruits contain much nourishment, it is well to remember, dates, tigs, bananas and grapes con taining the most. Juicy fruits are rich in phosphates for the blood and are easily digested as well. The excess of water which they contain forms a distilled drink, and as thirst quenchers they prove a success. It is far better to supply the children with fruit for their luncheon than to give them a food that in time works evil effects in the system.—New York Observer. Advice Kor the Fat Womnn.

All around the edge of Valparaiso bay is a string of little towns so close together that you cannot readily dis cover where one leaves off and the next begins. The most pretentious of these is Vina del Mar, which is a very popular seaside resort. During the ' summer season, from December to February, it is it gay place. A short distance from the town is the "cancha," or race track, in connection with which lire golf links, cricket and polo ' •grounds, all managed by the English sporting clubs. The polo matches and the races are over by the Ist of Decem ber, but cricket, golf and tennis go 011 ' all summer. Tennis tournaments are held, lasting for several weeks. Most of these sports, with the exception of tennis, which goes on all the time, take place 011 Sunday. Sunday i/3 the great gala day, when all the popula tion, rich and poor alike, turn out to have a good time. The common people find their holi day sport in getting gloriously drunk. If you walk along the street on Sun day afternoon, you must not be sur prised to meet every few minutes in dividuals decidedly unsteady on their feet. The little wineshops do a rush ing business, and there is always a large crowd about the door watching and loudly applauding the dancing of the "cucca," which goes 011 all day. This is a sort of national dance, per formed to the accompaniment of the guitar. The dance is quaint and rath er pretty if the dancers are sober, but in its ordinary environment it is far from inviting. During a good season at Vina del Mar one has an excellent opportunity 1 of seeing the aristocratic Chileans of Santiago. In January Santiago is very | warm, and the society people come 1 down to the coast during the hot weather. The ladies are many of 1 them quite handsome. They all dress j gorgeously and have very bad man- 1 ners. They stroll along the hotel piaz za, and if they see anything that j arouses their curiosity in any of the rooms they stop and look 011 serenely, regardless of the occupant. They ; never make their appearance until 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning, when they go down to the beach for a morn ing dip. After the 11 o'clock break fast they disappear until 4 o'clock, when they all come out in gowns that would rival Solomon in all his glory. They either drive 011 the beach and trail their skirts and embroidered chif fons through the sand or stroll up and down the long platform of the railroad station, watching the trains pass. These exciting diversions occupy them until dinner. Sometimes there are dances in the evening—dances called so only by courtesy, for they rarely dance; they only walk around and ex hibit their gowns.—lndianapolis News.
