DIDN'T LIKE SOLDIERING

A Prince Edward Island Youth’s Experience in the Ranks.

The Leinster regiment has one less private in ite ranks today than it had a few days ago, and a young man who ounce wore the scarlet tunic 18 now on his way home- ward having had his fill of soldiering.

The young man in quesiion is John Sellars, or at least that ia the name by which he ic known in Halifax. His home is in Charlottecown,Prince Edward Island, and his father is one of the wealthiest men in the Island province.

Some tour months ago the young man left his home to go on a visit to an aunt in Boston. His indulgent father bad supplied him with a liberal allowance of mouey, so be decided to visit Halifax en route and take in the sights of the Nova Scotian metropolis.

He landed here with the roses of bis rustic home still on his cheeks and a large smount of worldly experience—to get. Uf an athletic build and rather well favored in the way of good looks, he soon becaine a prime favorite with some ofthe members of the Leinster regiment, and en listed,

H:s father had cherished the hope that sOme day his son would be a physician, and up to the date of his visit to Halifax,

tne younger Sellars bad fallen in with his

pater’s wishes and had studied industriou-~ ly asa preparatory couree. But when he fell ig with the jolly Leinsters his views were changed in anu instant and he promptly disregarded the lancet and phial for a mueket avd tunic. In short, he was so thorcugbly entranced with the idea of serving bis country that he enlisted and next day found him with his beautifal focibal] hair cropped close to his bead and hie natty Outing suit exchanged for regis menta's—learning to present arms with the “recruities.”

In the science of arms he proved a fairly apt scholar and was soen well grounded in the elements of drill. In barracks he be- came popular with his fellows and with the = officers over him, but be did not like the life. He found that a soldier had todo more than wear a uni form and look pretty; and besides he long - ed for his old school friends and the dear onesat home. Finally he grew d-sperate and wrote to his father asking him to bny his discharge The father wae only toc willing to comply, bat thought he would teach the youvgster a lesson, £0 it war not until Tuesday that he came to Halifax to take his son home. After some preliminaries Lad been arranged and explanations giveo the father pre- sented his now penitent son with the papers necessary to secure his release, while tbe military treasury was increased by $48,66

Yeeterday was spent by tather and son in lookiug about the city and this morning both left by the early train for their home.

When seen by a Mail reporter last night young Sellars said he had seeo all he bad cared to see of military life and would now try to make aname for himself ina line where the duties are not so arduous and the remuneration greater. —Halifax Mail,
