The sergeant at the big recruit
log station on Third avenue was up
to hie stripes in business. A half
dozen corporals were questioning
would-be fighters for Uncle Sam
and scribbling their answers al
most' before made. Long service
on general recruiting duty had
made them experts at judging hu
man nature. Up in one corner of
the room a corporal was putting -a
rookie through his. places and ask
ing questions and answering them
for him before the rattled rookie
could more than nod or shake his
head. The little room fairly clat
tered with rapid-fire interrogations.
"Had fits no drink moderate
ly marriedno," and by he time
the applicant's chin hit or gazed
his collar the answer was down. .
A worried-looking man marched
in and up to the sergeant's desk.
The sergeant keep on writing a let
ter at double time. The man wait
ed until he had put the flourish to
the last word and then said:
"I want to enlist.? .
"How old?" asked the Sergeant
"Thirty-four," said the man.
"Y' look thirty-six," remarked
the Ssrgeant critically. "How
many wives have y got?"
Only one!" said the -worried-looking
man, taken off his guard.
. "Don't want you," said the Ser
geant, dipping his pen and starting
another letter. And the worried
looking man went out looking more
dejected than eve'r. . V
A ruddy-faced youth of twenty
two or twenty-three came a minute
later. The Sergeant wasn't so busy
that he didn't catch a glimpse of
him out of the corner of his eye.
But he wrote a . sentence or two
more before he straightened him
self up looking stern and soldierly.
"Hat off!" he ordered, and then:
"Do you know fractions Y Yep!
Well, how much is one-third and
one-half, added? One-fifth, you
say! Guess again! Five-sixths,
eh? C'rect! How'd you like the
heavy artillery? Think you'd like
it' h? Well, go and "get a letter
from a reputable business man say
ing you are all right, and come
back."
A shabby individual with a fray,
edjsolor slouched in. An odor of
a 5-cent whiskey -preceded him.
The Sergeant's pen was galloping
along again, but he found time at
the end of sentences to put a lot of
pertinent questionsand orders with
hardlya lifting of the eye-lids.
"Throw away that cigar stump!
I said throw it away! Take off
that hat! Stand jup! How old?
What year were you born? Don't
know, eh ? Well, don't bother to
count on. your fingers. I said to
stand up straight! Had a bath?
You don't look it. When? Do
you drink? You don't! Sure?
Don't want you ! G'wan now!
G'wan, I 8 ay !" j
Then the Sergeant bent over his
desk and ecribbed for fully two
minutes without interruption. An
upright figure in civilian clothing
appeared.: in .tho doorway? ! The
Sergeant promptly dropped hit pen
and sat up in his chair with an air
of dignified welcome.: The topo
graphy or Ireland was lined on, the
seamed, set features of the new
comer. He was ruddy with health
and a. trifle more erect than most
men of his undisguised years.
His jaw was square and hisjiips
rested against each others in a
straight line, as if they had aliabit
of staying there and seldom parted
company to make ( way for words.
Otherwise he was an ordinary,'
everyday, well-preserved civilian
who had failed to put on flesh in
the forties. At least that is what
be loosed to the average eye. 1 He
stepped in the doorway and swung
around in his chair, and then
marched up and stood erect and at
tentive, but not at attention. The
Sergeant looked him up and down
just once and asked:
i "How many years' service?
"Twinty-wan, 8aj the , new
comer. Then he produced a big,
plump envelope, and, placing it on
the desk, remarked briefly : "Me
discharges." 1 I
; The Sergeant stuck the envelope
unopened, into a pigeonhole and
asked: t, i
"What regiment do you want to
apply for?"
"The 'Steenth."
"All right. Make yourself at
home. I ft ill take a couple of days
to get orders from the Adjutant
General." I ' !
The Sergeant resumed his writ
ing, and Private Sevenport, with
seven days coming to him before
the expiration of his re-enlisted
period, made an about-face and
marched out to the rookies' waiting-room.

j Could N6t Be Belied Upon.
The author of "Little Journeys
to the Homes of American States
men" tells a story of the civil war,
when the days dragged gloomily,
in, anticipation of news from the
front, and when grief was likely to
.overtake any who had boys in the
ranks. He says: I
One night the postmaster
reading aloud the names of
killed at Gettysburg, and he
right on the name of a youth
knew. The boy's father sat there
on a nail-keg, chewing a straw.
The postmaster, for his sake, tried
to sh utile over the name, and hurry
on to the next. - j
"Hi !" said the father. "Wha
what's that you said?" , j
There was nothing to do but to
face the issue, and the postmaster
repeated with a forced calmness :
"Killed Snyder, Hiram." j j
The boys father stood up with a
jerk. Then he sat down. Then he
stood up again, staggered to the
door, and fumbled for the latch like
a blind man. , ; !
"God1 help him!" said the post
master, wiping his eyes with his
red handkerchief ; "he's gone to tell
the old woman." 1
The minister preached a funeral
sermon for the boy, and on the lit
tle pyramid that marked the fami
ly lot, in the burying-ground, they
carved the inscription :
"Killed in honorable battle, Hir
am Snyder, aged nineteen." j
'. Net long afterward, ! strange,
yellow, bearded men, in faded blue,
began to arrive. Great welcomes
were given them, and .many a big
gathering was held in their honor.
At one such gathering a ghost ap
peared a lank, saffron ghost, rag
ged as a scarecrow, wearing the
cape of a cavalryman's overcoat,
with no coat beneath. C ;
The apparition was a youth of
about twenty, with a downy ! beard
all ever his face, and a countenance
well mellowed with coal soot, as if
he had ridden several days on the
top of a freight car near the en
gine. The ghost was Hiram Snyder.-
A
..We forgave him" the shock of
surprise he" had caused us, all ex
cept the minister who had preached
his funeral sermon. Years after
ward I heard the minister remark,
inta solemn and, aggrieved tone :
"Hiram Snyder is a man who
cannot be relied upon." Youth's
Companion. ' !
In Plain Language.
Doctor, I want to know exactly
what's the matter with me." j
"My good sir, your ailment is a
tendency of the lungs to expel air,
suddenly and forcibly through the
glottis, the effort being accompa
nied by a raucous and more or less
gutteral sound." j
"That's what I told the doctor I
discharged the other day. He said
it was nothing but a cough.
Whooping Congh.
I had a little bov who was nearly
dead from an attack of whooping
cough. My neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did
not think that any medicine would
help him, but after giving him a few
dotes of that remedy I noticed an im
provement, and one bottle cured him
entirely. It it the best cough medicine
I ever had in the home. J. L. Moore.
