SOLDIER Lil
There is Fax JVC ore I

"It would be well for the young men
who are thinking of joining the army
to defend their country or 'seek the
bubble reputation at the' cannon's
mouth' to look into the life and duty
of one of Uncle Sam's privates before
going so far that they cannot tura
back," said a gentleman at the Char
leston Hotel to a reporter for the
News and Courier yesterday. "Let
them consider, to b^gin with, the life
of a recruit until he becomes a thor
oughly drilled man ready to take hi3
place in the ranks of the regiment aod i
do his turn at guard duty. Thing3
are not as they used to be in the army,
and reforms have been introduced that
greatly improve the condition of the
private soldier, but he must not he
prepared to find a life of never ending
jollity and merry-making with an oc
casional interval of fighting just to
relieve the monotony of existence.
"As I have said, there have been
some changes made in recent years.
Under the old regulations any mau
who could pass an insurance examina
tion could get intp the army. All the
. recruiting officers wanted was bone
and muscle, and as a rule it was about
all he ever got. The resuit was that
all self-respecting people regarded a
common soldier with suspicion, and
more than half suspected that he had
enlisted under an assumed name, and
a cloiid like poor Joe Willet's ragged
comrades, when he ran away from the
Maypole Inn, and fell into the hands
of the seductive sergeant. Then he
might bave been unable either to read
or write or to speak a word of English.
In many cases he had not been twenty- j
four hours on American soil, and was ?
still begrimed with the filth of the
steerage in which he had come over to
follow a flag that he had never seen
before. ? It was only in the lower quar
ters of the cities that recruiting offi
cers could be found, and it was only
among the lower classes of the popu
lation that recruits could be obtained.
Tue average self-respecting citizen
preferred thejpenitentiary. It is im
possible to describe the class of m<en
who came to enlist "then. Of course,
there were some good fellows among
them, but there were also criminals of
every descriptiondisgrace alike to
the country that employed them a ad
the flag that they followed.
"But, as I say, things are much im
proved now, and the result is a decided
change in the personnel of the rank
and file. A. man to enter the army
now must not only be a citizen of the
United States and be able to read and
write, but he must produce recommen
dations from creditable persons, set
ting forth that he is of good character,
. morally and otherwise. The result is
that only the best men arc taken,
while five out of every six who apply
at the recruiting stations are turned
down.
"But even this change, important !
as. it is in elevating the character of
the army and making it fit for a decent
young fellow, ' who Wants to earn an
honest living, to enter, has not thrown j
down the bars and bridged over the j
gulf that yawns between a private sor- j
dier and his officer, and that is some- ?
thing that I had as well speak of, as it
'is a thing that so many of those who
are now about to enter the army may
find it to their advantage to know.
For you-have no idea how much ignor
ance there is upon this point and how :
often the recruit finds himself brought !
up at double quick against a granito
wall of tradition, of whose existence
he had never dreamt.
"When you hear of a social gulf J
down here in the South you begin j
naturally to compare it with ?Shat that j
lies between the Southern white man !
and his former slave, anti when you :
have gotten that fixed firmly in your I
imagination you think you have about
grasped the situatiou. But you have ?
not. Thc old ante-bellum darky could '
speak to his master often on friendly
terms and was something of an hum- '
ble companion. But not so with the '
common soldier. Ile can speak to his
officer only on official business. Of
course this is .something that can't be
done away with. Thc least familiarity
or equality would be death to discip
line, and it's a very stupid young fel
low who fails to recogp'vze thc neces- .
sity for it. and t? sec the propriety of
the man with the shoulder straps
granting him no further recognition
than a formal salute in return for the
one that he has been taught to pay to
his rank whenever he meets him, no
matter what their relations may have
been a week before his enlistment.
Sometimes thc very green young sol
dier forgets this and comes in for a
reprimand that cuts him to the (juick.
but in the course of time ho sees the
whys and wherefores better and ac
cepts it as a matter of course and
something perfectly right and proper.
"The first three months of a re
cruit's life are thc hardest. Practi
cally every one nf his waking hours
are filled with drudgery. Ile is re
garded as a nuisance by both his om'
cers and his comrades, and Tv'hen he is
not under a drill sergeant devotes the

greater part of his time to washing
dishes and scrubbing the quarters. If
he is in a cavalry regiment be is allow
ed to amuse himself with a curry comb
and scrubbing brush several hours a
day.
"But probably the sorest experience
that a recruit has is that with his new
u?iform. In the old days any old
thing in the way of a uniform was
goed enough, but now the class of men
enlisted take a pride in their appear
ance and prefer any, amount of discip
line to misfits. But as a rule it is
misfits that they get when they enlist.
Under the contracts made with army
tailors the Government is supposed to
be supplied with uniforms to fit every
kind of man, but as a matter of fact
no recruit has ever been known to be
fitted. I can imagine nothing funnier
than a group of young recruits in uni
forms that leave wrists and ankles
bare, and bulge at the waist enough to
hold another man of the same size,
trying to conceal their embarrassment.
Of course they are marked men with
the old-timers, and suffer even more
from their gibes than from the con
sciousness of being guys. But as
every company is supplied with a
tailor and they are allowed to draw
cloth as soon ai they get to their regi
ments, they are soon neatly fitted and
respectable. It is not until then that
they begin to take the least pride in
their calling or to realize that they are
the equals of the older men. For
what between the relation that they
bear to their officers, and the suffering
that they have endured drilling they
are pretty welFsubdued by the time
they are ready to quit the awkward
squad and do guard duty.
"The three months of drilling that
a recruit generally has to go through
before he becomes a first-class man is
an ordeal, but it makes a man of him ;
at least so far as carriage and appear
ance goes. He comes in, say from the
backwoods, with lumps of lazy fat on
him the size of my fist and a stoop in
the shoulders that would make an out
sider declare him incapable of ever
straightening. But an old drill ser
geant knows-more than that and has
peculiar methods of his own that work
miracles. It is either very hot or
very cold on the parade ground, and
by the time he has been put through
the 'setting up' drill, in which there,
are eighteen exercises, he is half dead,
but the lumps of fat roll off of him
and thc stoop goes away, and when he
takes his place in ranks he is lean and
straight, and altogether a soldier. He
complains some while it is going on,
but in the end be appreciates the value
of it and approves of it as one of the
great institutions of the .service.
"There is something remarkable
about the regard that the regulars
have for the flag, and that is one of
the first things that impresses a young
soldier. There is nothing that one uf
them will resent quicker than a re
flection upon it. It ranks everything
and everybody. If a general olficer
and the flag pass at the same time the
soldier salutes the flag and lets the
general pass uunoticed. Other people
have their States and Counties, and
towns, .and homes, but the soldier in
the regular army has only his flag and
is at home wherever it floats.
"But the hard work aud lack of re
cognition from his superiors should
not deter :a young man from entering
?he army. He may have to wash
dishes, scrub stoves, cut wood, carry
water and go through the setting up
drill ; but if he is bright and intelli
gent he may earn a commission after
a. while. Half as many private sol
diers as West Pointerg received com
missions last year as second lieuten
ants, and the chances of eventually
wearing shoulder straps are good."

"I could hardly wish to enter heav

..Heaven, to be a place of happiness,
must be u place of activity. Has thc

its profound investigations? Has
David hung up his harp as useless as

like enthusiasm, ceased itinerating the
universe of God? Are Peter and Cyp

psalm singing? Heaven is a palace ni'
restless activity, the abode of never
tiring thought. David and [saiah will
sweep nobler and loftier strains in

Unique Methods of a King Street Bill
Collector.
"I will have to quit business if this
thiDg continues," said a well known
King street merchant to a reporter for
the Neios and Courier yesterday. "I
am in a great deal of trouble and the
chances are that my life is in dan
ger."
An expression of curiosity induced
him to continue, and he said:
"It's not my fault, you know; it's
all misfortune. For the past year or
so I have been having a great deal of
trouble with collectors. You see, run
ning a retail business, with several
hundred people on your books at the
end of every month, you have to have
something of a hustler to keep you
out of thc suds. The first man I had
was an old chap who needed a nice,
light job and promised to give a kind
of tone to the place. He was a very
good old fellow, but he knew so little
about hustling that after the first
week, or so the hard cases quit dodging
him altogether, and got to slapping
him on the back and calling him "old
chap."
"I soon saw that he wouldn't do,
and tried a sleek young fellow, who
caine here with a patent door bell, or
something of the kind. Fortunately
I required a bond of him, and when he
went to free Cuba recovered the
$3lj.40 that he took with him from the
surety company. That was the near
est that I ever came to contributing to
the cause of Cuba Libre, by the way,
and ? don't care to repeat thc experi
ence.
"Following the patent door bell
man, I tried three or four young fel
lows who thought they knew how to
brace the backsliders, and found my
self gradually getting further and fur
ther behind. You have no idea of the
number and variety of games that the
delinquents are up to, and I was
forced to acknowledge, as one after
another went, that my collectors were
unequal to the task. Even a profes
sional collector, who runs an agency
and claims to get more blood out of a
turnip than any other man in the city,
was compelled to acknowledge after a
short but heroic struggle, that he
found my crowd about the toughest he
had ever tackled. Somehow or other
he seemed to think that I had had the
ill luck to get every particularly hard
case in the city on my books, and
frankly advised me to burn my bills
and advertise for a new set of custom
ers. I might do better, he said, andi
could not do worse.
"Well, things went on in that way
until ten days ago, and I had about
made up mind to'present mytcustom
ers with clear receipts and go into
bankruptcy; when a red-headed boy
came into thc office arid asked for a
job. He had a blue mark around his
left eye. and his nose was fully half
an inch out of plumb, but he had a
straightforward manner that attracted
me to him, and I asked him if he
could collect bills. It was easy to see
from the confidence of his reply that
he had never collected a bill in his
life, though he claimed to have de
voted the better part of his life to it.
So to take a little of the starch out of
him I carefully picked out a few of
the worst I had-time-worn specimens
that had broken the hearts ef his pre
decessors-and told him I would give
him 10 per cent, for all he could get
out of them. Ile had some very good
references, and 1 wasn't particularly
anxious anyway, as I had no idea lie
would ever get his hands on a cent.
So I sent him out. A few minutes
later I had occasion to go up the
street, and at the corner fell in with a
crowd making for a storm center on
the next block. Thinking that a
street car had run over somebody I
fell in with it an fought my way to the
scene of the trouble. Imagine my
surprise when I found, not a mangled
victim oi> electricity, but my new col
lector demolishing the features of the
hardest case on my books. His own
features were fairly well disguised
with knuckle marks, but thc other
man looked like a Whitehead torpedu
had sfruck him. A policeman caine
up about that time, and I lost another
hour g?ing up to thc Station House to
deposit good money for his appearance
before the Recorder next day. When
I asked iiim to explain he said: 'The
jay tried to get gay with li i ni about a
bill and he had to call him down.
*'We took him back in the office,
and washed some bf the blood off of
him, and cautioned him about getting
into trouble. He seemed really eon
trite and went out again, assuring ns
that he would bc careful.

Washington s Cnp.
The following story was related to
the editor of the Natchez, Miss., Dem
ocrat and another journalist while on
a visit to the sage of Dunbarton:
"Many years ago," said Colonel
Claiborne, "when I had planting in
terests in Madison and Holmes coun
ties, I used to ride through the coun
try on horseback, and as I was in fee
ble health I usually had in my saddle
bag a bottle of good old brandy. This
I had to economize, as it was not to
be obtained on the route. Stopping
one day at the log cabin of a good old
man-I will call him Shaw-before
taking the dinner he had prepared, I
drew out my bottle, and. of course,
invited my host to join me in testing
the virtues of my Otard. My host,
looking at the bottle, very considerate
ly, as I thought, declined my invita
tion .on thc score that there was not
probaly more of the brandy than
would last me to the end of my' jour
ney. Keally appreciating the consid
eration of my friend, I insisted on his
joining me in a drink, and, as further
inducement told him that the cup from
which he would drink had once been
the property of General Washington,
and that he would have the pleasure
of drinking from a cup which had
touched the lips of the father of his
country.
" 'This cup, you say, belonged to
the immortal Washington, the father
of his country? Then I will take a
drink from it.' So saying, he poured
out a stiff horn, and having smacked
his lips over it, a thought seemed to
strike him, and he called out, 'Oh!
Mrs. Shaw, come here, if you please.
Mrs. Shaw,' said he, 'this cup was the
property of thc immortal Washington,
and has touched the lip3 of the father
of his country. You must take a sip
of good brandy from this venerable
relic' So she poured out another
drink from my bottle, which was
quaffed with a relish by Mrs. Shaw.
My friend again called out: 'Oh! Polly
Shaw, come here, my daughter. Here
is a cup that once belonged to thc im
mortal Washington, and has touched
the lips of the father of his country.
You, my daughter, must take a sip of
good brandy from this valuable relic'
Miss Polly did not object, and another
draft was made upon my supply of
Otard.
"There was now buta single dose of
my precious medicine left, and I was
watching it with some anxiety, when
a new impulse seemed to inspire my
friend Shaw, and he cried out: "Bring
Claiborne Shaw herc' Flattered by
the knowledge that a scion of the Shaw
family was dubbed with my own pa
tronymic, I awaited thc arrival of Clai
borne Shaw, who proved to be a chub
by little feliow of two or three years
of age. 'Claiborne Shaw,' said thc
father, 'here is a cup which belonged
to the immortal Washington, and
which has touched the lips of the
father of his country. You, my son,
are too young to sip from this venera
ble relic, hut your father will sip it in
your stead.' Saying which, he pour
ed the la>t drop of my old brandy into
the cup and devoured it, in honor of
the immortal Washington, the father
of his country. "

The well
known poem,
"Curfew Shall

night," in
which a young wo
man by hanging to
the curfew bell saves the
life of her lover condemn
ed to be executed at the
ringing of the curfew, is
only one of a
thousand strik
ing instances of
how a woman
will dare everything for
love.
Women are readier to
make heroic sacrifices
than they are to take
the commonplace,?
everyday precautions
which insure their great-,
est happiness. Most wo
men are careless about
their health. They for
get that physical weak
ness and disease will
wreck the fairest chance
in life and shut them
out completely from
happy womanhood and wifehood.
Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women are
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity. They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition. The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease-germs.
"The :rue antidote for this condition is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body, building up
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.
Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby. Perry Co., Ind.,
writes: "lu the year of 1894"! was taken with
Itoraach trouble- nervous dyspepsia. There was
n coldness in my stomach, and a weight which
teemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave
me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge
around my right side, ind in a short time I was
bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy
sicians but got no relief. I was so weak I could
not walk across the room without assistance.
Then Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was
recommended to me and I got it, and commenced
the use of it. I began to improve very fast after
the use of a few bottles. The physicians said icy
Sisease was leading into pulmonary consump
tion, and gave me up to die. I thank God that
my cure is permanent."
