The Old Soldier Recalls His Experience

army,’’ suid the old soldier, ‘‘were twa sizes too big for me. I wore sixes; my first army shoes were eights. I didn’t take them from choice—I got the nearest I could to my size. We were being fitted out from head to foot for the first time: that was when we were mustered in, and the required numbers of pairs of shoes, cf as- sorted sizes, had been delivered to each company. When I got at them, they had been culled over so much that there was nothing left smaller than eights.

‘I didn’t think it would be possible for ne to wear a shoe two sizes too big for ne, but I tried a pair on. They were brogans, having flaps, with two eyelets on each side, lacing over the instep with leather shoe strings. ‘They tied snugly, so that the heel and ofyn part of the shoe, end the sole, did not shuck on the foot. The forward partof my foot felt as though is were outdoors, but I thought they snight do; I had got to have a pair of shoes, and I took them.

**I wore those shocs for months, and with the greatest comfort. Thoy. were enormous, or they looked so to me. As soon as I began to wear them the thick leather of the uppers humped up into big, rounded ridges, with valleys between, across the top, giving te the top of the shoe a sort of Muted or corrugated effect. These corrugations remained always just the same as long as I wore the shoes. They were not what you would call a handseme shoe, but, as 1 said, they did not shuck around on my feet, and they were mighty eomfortable.

**But it doesn’t follow that after that I always got shees two sizes too big for me; as a matter of fact, I didn't, but I always did get shoes plenty large for me; plenty, and found comfort in wearing them.

“Sometimes we used to draw boots, cavalry boots. And it was kind of fun to ges boots. I remember very well the first pair of boots Idrew. I think I felt (perhaps in a little maturer sort of way, though not much so, either) about as much pleased over that pair of boots as I did with my first red tops when I wasa boy. To get on a pair of cavalry boots sort of made a man feel a little bit less like a plodding infantryman, and a little more like a cay- alryiman; it gave him a sort of a horse and suber touch. But this was only as he walked down the company street after drawing the boots from the quartermas- ter. The next day, on picket, the boots were about the same to him as shoes would have been.

‘still, there were men who preferred boots and always drew boots when they could getthem. But for myself I liked shoes better. A mounted man, of course, wants boots, but aecording to my notion

He should have lived in the daysof chiv- alry. He is so constituted that he cannot bring himself within the common sense rules prescribed for the government of modern society, and the story of his ex- periences would be a big yolume of ro- mance.

“There are two events in my life,’’ he says, ‘‘that mix me all upon the material, the swiritual and the influences that are operative in behalf of fate. At one time I Was caught in the floods of the Mississippi valley. Ehad assisted in helping a good many and began to believe myself a kind of storm god who could successfully defy

e el. ments when I was caught in the whirl one night and went booming toward the gulf with no better prospect than thas, I would tn the end suceumb. While float- ing on my baek and striving to be pbilo- sophicel, I felt my face swept by the leaves of a tree branch, seized it with both hands and was saved to live the remainder of my life.

“Three years later, because of experi- ences that made me weary of life, I was ready to cut the thread of my own exist- ence. I had lost faith in humanity. It seemed to me that the last shred of honor, fraternity and good will had disappeared. While I was settling my affairs, with a view to taking the eternal future into my own bands, I met a woman who restored wy faith and confidence. She was good. She routed my cynicism. She put a new face on this probationary existence of ours. She gave me new views, new impulses, new ambitions. It was her fair and dim- pled hand that drew me baok and filled me With a desire to go on to the end. She did what the unconscious tree branch had done three years before. Can it be that the same power was not behind both acts?” — Detroit Free Press.

Chinese Soldiers.

Chinese soldiers march anyhow. Thetr armament is in the highest degree varied. One bas a rifle; a second, a sword; a third, both rifle and sword; a fourth, a spear. In fact, so diverse is their equip- ment that it is impossible to deseribe the numerous yariations. The noncommis- sioned officers possess revolvers ard swords, but -the officers are entirely un- armed...
