The President Is meeting much em barrassment in pursuing tho policy of mustering out volunteer organizations .in order to reduce the volunteer force to the smaller proportions so obviously sufficient for our prosent necessities. The regiments which suspect that thoy have been selected for such discharge, more especially those which have re mained in home camps during the war nd have had no chance to participate in the dangers, the hardships, and. the glorios of active campaigning, are full of resentment and cry out against their fate. Tbey want at least an opportun ity to go to our new possessions as a part of the armies of occupation. At a time when we are hearing loud com plaints of the suffering of the troops who were engaged in the operations of actual war, there comes from those loft at home, as unnecessary for that ser vice, this cry of disappointment because they are to be sent back to peaceful life without having boon allowed, to share in the harsh experience. They envy the regiments which are coming back with battlo-torn flags and ranks deci mated by tho fire of tho enemy and the more deadly nssnult of disease. Thoy feel that they have not had a fair show. New York Sun. The West Ueynoldsvllle schools begin the wintor term next Monduy and the schools of this borough open tho follow ing Monday. Some of tho pupils will begin -the term with a determination to Improve tho tlmo and learn something, while others will go to school because they are compelled to, and will not care whether they learn or not. The following from the pen of E. L. Godkln is worthy of careful consideration, because it con tains facts: "The demand for bettor knowledge and greater skill Is one which Is common to all trades and pro fessions. The poorly equipped physi cian or lawyer is less and less in request. In ' conducting large enterprises the capable manager finds his services more and more in demand and commanding higher rewards. In this compulsory advance toward greater excellonoe, education plays an Important part. The Pennsylvania Railroad has long held to the policy of requiring the young men entering its mechanical departments to have some technical training both in theory and praotloe. The technical colleges supply a part of this require' merit, while not a few men, particular ly in the newer sciences like applied eleotrlolty, are pioneer discoverers by right of research and study. Every' where it is the same; the professional or business man, as well as the em ployee, to suocued in modern oo tamer olal itriw must have ail the reaouroea which knowledge and training can give SOLDIERS AT CAMP MEAD. Interesting Letters fiom Walter Williams nd Jay Evans, Now at Middlctown. MlItm.KTOWN, PA., Aug. 1", 'lS. KlHToK BTAK: Wo left Newport News, Vn., on Wednesday, 17th Inst., at 2.!M) P. M., nnd arrived hero tho fol lowing day at noon. 1 1 ml a delightful trip. We traveled via Richmond, Washington, I). C, Haltlmore, Md., nnd Ilnrrlsburg. Our camp Is located In a field nenr the railroad, and I believe It Is the nicest place we have camped as yet. The Imys aro all well nnd liko their job. Everybody Is busy; some putting tip tents, others doing guard duty, while others are getting dinner ready. We huvo been given a largo tent, which makes it much morn pleas ant. There nro five men to a tent. We were furnished with a canvass suit this morning, and the boys make a fine appearco In their now suits. Tho new suits aro gotten up near the sumo tylo as the officer's fatigue suit, so It Is hard to tell a private from an ollleer. More regiments nre arriving hew neb day. His expected Hint inside of wo weeks lhrn will be thirty thimsnnd soldiers in camp at this place. There Is one battalion of colored troops from Hi lo in camp. It looks as if v.o would remain hero for sometime, but It Is hard to toll, as there are all kinds of rumors alloat. Home say that wo nre to be mustered out. of service In ten days, while other reports lire that wo will 1m held to do garrison duty. Your Friend, WAt.TKtt I). Williams. Co. T, Kith Regt., P. V. I. LKTTKU TO WILL V. WILEY. MlDDLKTOWN, PA., Aug. lit. I'HIVI) Wilky: To-day, Friday, I uiu at leisure and will endeavor to give you a few points In connection with our trip since July lfltb. Happy were we, tho Kith Pa. Vols., oil the way through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee and Into Georgia. In Geor gia we played tho old, familiar song 'Marching Through Georgia" till about 10.00 o'clock In tho forenoon whon we struck camp. The Ill's t duty assigned us was for all to go to work erecting tents and not one of us knew how to proceed to put them up but wo got them up finally, after tearing down several times. After that task we got our hard tack and coffeo for dinner. Then next In order was to cloan camp. After that we all fell asloop till S.00 o'clock, then hard tack and coffee again composed tho bill of faro. Tho bill of fare after a fow days bocamo undesirable, We oil mado a kick on tho grub and after that fared much better. All have praise for Commlssnry Sorgenut Warnick, of Falls Creek. Ho secures all ho possibly can for us. When wo got our rifles wo had to drill In citizen clothos and wo got "rubod" to a cortaln extent from a fow Willies." There are "Willie boys" here with tholr hair in braids, and they are all homesick, and tired working for Uncle Sara. In the estimation of the ReynoldBvllle boys he Is a good follow to labor for. Any old tlmo wo seyon got tired and homesick you will find it out. These "Wllllos" all take a cry when they get a letter from home and tholr sweethearts. They would make brave soldiers. We were located at Chicamauga for eleven days, then we got orders to go to the front, but It was to the front of the James rtvor. We shouted and cheered for a half hour. Then wo land ed at Newport News. We were all In good spirits but we got our tents in about four Inches of sand and a dirty place It was. Then drilling began in earnest and Col. Rick arda told us that in throe duys wo would sail for Porto Rico. Cheers then rent the air. Whon the mentioned time was up wo tore down our tents and prepared for heavy marching orders. And all the closer we got to a front was little closor to the James river. It was a much cleaner place. In tho har bor lay the Minneapolis and several other transport boats and wo thought thoy wore for us, but word came that Spain had docldod that peace was her best motive. And we all ran to our dog tents and crawled in like mice and uiun t come out till roll call. All were heart brokon for we knew that we would get no farther. Then camo the news that we wore going back to Ponn sylvanta anr men not a onoor was sounded as tho boys have been treated so nicely in Virginia that they didn't earn to leave me people. we nnaliy landed in MldUlotown and find this aulco, clean, healthy camping place. t it is rumored nere mat we eimer go home or to Porto Rico inside of ton or fifteen days, but you can hear anything bore. Now lot Germuny make a kick and she will fare the same as Spain. Our bill of fure for dinner for each man consists of one-half loaf of bread one piece of boiled 'beef, one dish of soup beans, one dish of baked beans and one boiled potato. And still some of those bird cagos will kick on that, Walter Williams weighs 379 pounds in heavy marching order. Herb. Burns orles daily about being away from home so far and the rest of the boys are kept busy keeping out of "Paddy" MoMa bon's way, so as to do no work, as he is Orderly Sergeant. Herb. Burns is the disorderly Sergeant. We have the best officers in the business. . Our Cap tain and Lieutenants are very good to the boys. We have no complaints to offer, as we are all enjoying ourselves Yellowstone Park and Omaha Exposition. Tho Yellowstone National Park Is unquestionably one of the most Interest ing regions on tho globe, for within it Is displayed the greatest collection of nature's manifold wonders. Indeed, this moiintuin-hound plateau, high up on the summit of the everlasting Rockies, Is a veritable playground for the world's giant forces. Tho personally-conducted tour of the 'eunsylvanln Railroad Company, which leaves New York on Soptember 1, affords tho most satisfactory means of visiting this wonderland and viewing its marvelous features. A stop of two days will lie made on tho return trip at Omaha, affording an opportunity to visit the Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Tourists will travel by siecial train of Pullman smoking, dining, sleeping, nnd observation ears In each direction. Eight days will bo spent In the Park. A stop will also be mado returning nt Chicago. Tho round-trip rate, tZlii from New York, Philadelphia, Haiti more and Washington, fl'-VI from Pitts burg, covers nil necessary expenses.

A startling Incident, of which Mr, John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, Is narrated by hi in us follows: I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually In back and sides, no appetito gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given mo up. Fortun ately, a friend advised trying 'Electrlo Bitters;' and to my great joy and sur prise, tho first bottle made a decided Improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fall to try them. Only SO cents por bottle at H. A. Stoke'a Drug Store. National Encampment.

General Oreely'a 278 Days of Death. The truo story of those 278 days of suffering by Greoly's horolo little band of explorers In the Artie region has been told by General Greely himself, for the first time, for the October Jirfr' Home Journal. For years Gen eral Greely has kopt an unbroken si lence about his fearful experience and that of his companions, as they dropped doad one by one at bla side, and it was only after the greatest persuasion that the famous explorer was Induced to write the story. Headache for Forty Years. For forty years I auffored from sick boadaehe. About a year ago 1 began using Colory King. The result was gratifying and surprising, my headaches leaving at once. Tho headaches used to return every seventh day, but thanks to Celery King, I have had but one headache In tho last eleven months. I know that what cured me will help others. Mrs. John D.

Fcr- nnld, speaking of the fly In wheat, which has proven so Injurious to tho crops of this state says: "I am at last able to give tho result of my study of the Insects Injuring the wheat. The In jury was caused by the joint worm, a very small fly, which occasionally is very Injurious and very bard to control; in fact the only thing to do is to out the wheat high and burn the stubble, and also to use the straw before spring, as the Insect passes tho winter in the straw. Its destruction by burning the stubble and using up the straw during the winter will remove most of the In sects, which would otherwise produce another generation the next year."
