o 13 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, ISoD. TWO KINDS OF RECRUITS com'Aitisov or coi ntuy and city 1IOVS AS SO LI) IE US. On Ihe Whole MnJ. ohle Think the City liny Known Mrnt lluvr to Shift for Hi Hint If. The farmer Loy. ami the city boy are two distinct tyis in tho army. Jioth possess Qua'.L."-atior.3 that go to make a good sol der, but their personalities are so marked that any army officer can readily distin guish the difference. A striking personality stamps every recruit from the farm, and characteristics equally as noticeable place the city lad In his Individual class. To de termine which makes the better soldier de p r..ls entirely upon the ofHcer who Judges them. Some are partial to city boys, while others think rural life a better preparation for service in the army. Others fall to show partiality, and Major Noble, the command tr.g otfteer In charge of the local recruiting station, is in this class, lie see3 very little tflfTererce in the two. Taking up the farmer boy. Major Noble scribes him as entering the army with a hardy physique and little knowledge of privation, lie is accustomed to three full neals a day and eight to nine hours sleep, following a regular routine of life with no greater diversity than plodding along the furrow, pitching hay and husking corn. He depends upon a mother and sisters to get his meals, his bed must be made up by other hands, and all his personal comforts mu.n be the product of another's labor. If he is left alone for a day, he starves, eats at a neighbor's, or nil his empty stomach with canned salmon or sardines purchased at the country store. A six-penny nail Is the coupling pin that holds his suspenders and trousers in place until some one can few a button on. Hij experience Is very limited in outside affairs, he is inclined to be contented with his lot and depends upon others for advice, employment and support. THE CITY RECRUIT. On the other hand, the city recruit is not so compact, his muscles are less fixed and hi3 feet more nimble. He eats when he can, or. when he feels like it, and to miss a night's rest docs not disturb him in the least. Swinging a sledge hammer gives him no more appetite than handling a yard stick, and a few winks of sleep caught in the early hours of morning are as refresh ing as ten hours of sonorous slumber. He reveU in the pantry when his mother and sisters are gone and enjoys one square meal, cooked to suit his fastidious tastes, in the absence of maternal hindrance. The larder is his favorite hunting ground on all ccoasions, and he is familiar with the use of baking powder, even to that extent where you take out all you can hold on the joint of a knife and then put a little back. He scorns feminine needle work on all oc casions and sews his own buttons on with strong, coarse linen thread. He shifts for himself, realizing that upon his own efforts rest his welfare. These are the two recruits as they enter the army. Now, a new life is taken on to which set habits must accustom them selves. The efficiency of the recruits now depends upon the nature of service they are given. If It Is field duty, the city boy finds himself at home. To go hungry all day, live five days on three days rations, sleep four hours out of thirty-six, march mile after mile with unquenched thirst and make his own bunk does not concern him any longer than It takes to kindle a fire, fry his bacon, boll a quart cf coffee and roll over In his blanket, sound asleep. A DIFFERENT STORY. Not so with tho country lad, who has been used to letting his team stand under the shade of a tree while he goes to get a drmk when he is thirsty, or pick up a jug of water hidden in the cool shade of a fence corner at every other round of the field he makes with his plow. At the end of a long march he is almost famished, and he empties his knapsack with monstrous bites in rapid succession. He eats his food raw in preference to cooking it. Then, In full view of his city comrade, who 13 now rerched on a little knoll soundly sleeping on a few rails laid side by side for a bed, he throws himself upon the ground, where his blanket soon becomes saturated with moisture absorbed from the ground. He worries until his eyes are closed and gets up in the morning with stiff Joints and a sour stomach. This Is the campaign life of the country and city recruit, until the country soldier learns the ways of the city Eoldier and can take care of himself. With garrison life it is different. In the barracks the country recruit is contented with the indoor life and confinement, while the city boy lives in misery. The extreme routine of 'the garrison suits the country lad. and the boy from the city starves men tally and physically for want of diversified recreation and service. This restless na ture of the latter makes him more difficult to discipline than the former, and. it takes a long time to tone him down to the quiet life in barracks. So. in summing it up, the city man is more desirable for field duty and the country man for garrison duty. The fMCt remains, however, that more country boys enlist In the army than city boy?, largely to escape the humdrum exist ence of farm life. OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Fail bargain, thirty days only. Kltchell studio "The things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace and in all other places." Philipplans 1: 12, 13. From Rome St. Paul wrote his Epistle to the Philipplans. And there In Rome things which had a very jagged look had happened to him. If there ever were a man apparent ly thwarted, disappointed, jumbled in pur pose, the apostle was that man. XRome was the world's metropolis, the fo cus point of the civilization of the times; from thence ranged out to the remotest borders religion, resource, wealth, law. It was not strange, then, that for many years Paul had turned longingthought and wistful eyes toward Rome. It had become the marshaling purpose of his life to un furl the banner of the Crucified in the city of the Caesars. For this he lays his plans; for this he offers steady and fervent pray ers. He Is restless until he can plunge into that thickest center of opposing forces with his Lord's overcoming gospel. And at last the great apostle does enter Rome, but in very different fashion from which he had thought to enter it. You remember how it was something like those, years before, he had gone to Jeru salem. There, ln the temple of courts, a mob had gripped him, and only with the utmost difficulty had he been, with his life, rescued from it by the commander of the Roman fortress oZ Antonia, set hard by the temple to keep the turbulent Jews ln order; then Claudius Lyslas, this com mander of the Roman garrison, send3 him up a prisoner to Caesarea, the official residence of Felix, the Roman governor of the province; here the Jews who had mobbed him ln Jerusalem come to prefer charges against him that he is "a pesti lent fellow, a mover of sedition, a pro faner of the temple," but though It Is im possible that these Jews make good their charges, Felix, Itching for bribes, and wishing to curry favor with the Jews, keeps Paul a prisoner; two weary years of an unjust captivity now pass; at last Festus supersedes Felix as chief gover nor; but no more than Felix will Festus do justice by the unjustly imprisoned Paul; and so at last Paul, satisfied that no fairness will be shown him, falls back upon his right as a Roman citizen and appeals his case to the Emperor at Rome, and his appeal makes it necessary that he appear before the Emperor at Rome ln person. PAUL'S HINDRANCES. So, still a prisoner, he sets out for the imperial city. On the way, there Is the weary voyage, the shipwreck and escape at Malta, the waiting there through the three stormy winter months; then, at last, the landing at Puteoll, and then the trudging land Journey of many a mile to Rome. So Paul reaches Rome at last but a prisoner. He is remanded to the chief of the Pretorian Guards, though his cap tivity is somewhat alleviated; though he may even dwell in his own hired house, still he is a prisoner, kept, guarded, ham pered, hindered, chained. Could we have seen him always, night and day, whether he ate, or slept, or wrote, or preached we would have seen him shackled, with his own wrist fastened to that of a Roman sol dier, between whom and him there was always dangling the heavy coupling-chain. Not thus had the apostle, thought to come when, years before, he had projected a residence in Rome, on his way to Spain. He had thought he would go where he listed thoroughout the .city, preaching here and there, a free man, charged with a great mission. But when, at last, he does stand where he had so long hoped to stand, under the shadow of the palace of the Caesars, confronted by the might of all the false re ligions of the world massed in its metropo lis, he stands there a prisoner, chained, hindered. But not only had this hindrance come to the apostle. Paul began preaching at Rome as best he could, a prisoner. The congregation gathered to him at his house. He preached the large, free, widely in clusive gospel he had always preached. But there were many of the Jewish party in the church at Rome who could not en dure such doctrine. Immediately they Clashed with the broad gospel Paul was preaching. They tried to thwart him. They set themselves to lessening his in fluence. In every way they attempted to add affliction to his bonds. So here again was Paul hindered. Chained by the government, he was op posed by many of his brethren. He stood in no broad and open way. His feet were meshed in difficulty. Ills hands were ham pered by opposition. Well, is not this Paul, standing here amid these hindrances, at least in some degree a frequent symbol and illustration of your life and mine? How often does it turn out that, even though at last we may reach Rome, we do not find things at Rome as we had thought and hoped. How often battled are our purposes. How rarely do we stand within the undimmed brightness of our expectations. What weary windings do our journeys take. How chained we find our hands. How perplexing and surprising our oppositions. It is the commonest of dooms this doom of hindrances. HOW HE WAS HELPED. And now, with this exposition, think of the help for hindrances, and the help of hindrances. Well, I think here Is a great help for hindrances, viz., that the divine purpose gets itself accomplished notwithstanding hindrances. Writes Paul to these Philip plans: "But-I would ye should under stand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel." At least Paul does stand tinder the shadow of the palace of the Caesars, and, though It be with chained hands, preaches Christ crucified. 0 my troubled friend, amid the discour agements and difficulties of life, in the face of the rocky obstacles which so fre quently confront It, beneath the nights of disappointment which so often shut down upon It I know no truth so strong and solid against which our weary souls can lean as this: Notwithstanding all, the dear purpose of our God .narches un hindered on. Here is consolation, here Is strength. 1 am baffled, but God is never baffled. I may be discouraged, but God's nead sinks never. I may be stunned by the crash of discords, but God's ear catches the chiming of the inner harmony strik ing through them all. And if I but sink myself into God's great and benignant pur pose I shall not much care for personal hindrance, and the thought that the gos pel Is furthered will soften them and cush ion them. But see the help of hindrances: Prisoner but prisoner meant protection. Prisoner but prisoner meant leisure for the writing of the great Epistles of the Captivity. Prisoner but Paul's Imprisoned, hindered preaching meant the -stirring even of his enemies to a more earnest preaching of Christ. Prisoner but prisoner meant the better fchowing of the passive virtues of Chris tianity. Prisoner but prisoner meant access to the higher classes Felix, Festus, saints in Caesar's household. Caesar himself. O hindered one, what you call hindrances arc often mightiest helps! iSBBSBS BSSSSRSSBBBBBJBBBBSY A Lnllaby. We've wandered all about the upland fallows.

In Paris dressmaking, the New York Store is head and shoulders above other stores or shops for two reasons;we are the only house that sends regularly to Europe a dress maker who is thoroughly competent to choose with the critical taste and skill of a trained artist who knows what she wants and what Indianapolis women want; and also, having a personal representative in our Paris office at all times who keeps us informed of all the lat est changes and styles.
