SOLDIERING IN HAYTL
HUNGRY PRIVATES SUPPORT THEM
SELVES BY BEGGING.
Queer Way t!i« llaytlan Authorities Have
of Taking Care of Tlittlr Convicts and
Warriors—They Travel hi Pairs nnd
Iteg in the Streets Day by Day.
Philip McDowell is an oM and well
known New Yorker He was a volun
teer fireman once, and all old New York
ers know what that means. Of late
years Mr. McDowell I ms traveled exten
sively abroad. He visited Hayti. A
day or two ago a rejiorter naked him
what was the most striking thintf he
saw in the black republic.
“I saw many strange thitips in Hayti,
but the strangest of all was the way the
soldiers and prisoners ufo transformed
ihlo beggars and are forced to live on
charity. When a prisoner is sentenced
to d^> time there he doesn't have a uni
form. he learns no trade nnd he doesn't
t?et anything to eat from the govern
ment. Ho is allowed to beg, though,
for money and grub, and if he won't lx?]
—well, he can starve.
“This begging is a funny kind of busi-
aer-s. Take the prison at Jacmel, for in
stance. Well, every morning they fir
the prisoners out to pick tip whatever
they can get, and e.*:.»b fellow has a sol
dier along with him to see that he
doesn’t run away. The two beg together
all day and whack up in the evening.
Then the soldier brings hack his prisoner
to jail and goes up to tin- fort to show
that he has his t usket all right, and
hasn’t sold it for drinks or a square meal
during the day.”
SOLDIERS GKT NO PAY.
“But don’t the Ilaytian soldiers get
pay?"
“No, they don’t. Any money there is
in tho army goes to the generals, and of
them there aro enouglt to command the
combined armies of Ettroiieand America.
Once in a long while tho Ilaytian soldier
gets a dollar, which is worth abont
seventy cents in our money, but ho and
the prisoners live by begging. They go in
twos from hon.se to house and from store
to store. Sometimes they have a good
day and make a dollar and sometimes
they don’t make fifty cents, but what
ever it is they must live on it.
“Tho soldier himself is a scarecrow.
He has never been drilled, has no uni
form to speak of, and if he hadn’t a
musket to carry around with him you
couldn't tell him from'the prisoner he is
taking care of. Yon recollect the old
Long Toms we had in our army before
the war? Well, that’s the kind tho Hay-
tian soldiers carry. They are all old
cap and ball cerncems, as like as not to
go off at the wrong end.
“Take a soldier, a sailor or a fireman
with us, and they all have a prido in
keeping all their tools neat and clean;
but military prido isn’t in tho game that
tho Haytian soldier plays. When he
gets homo after a day’s begging ho
pitches his old innsket into a corner jnst
as a laborer in tho street cleaning depart
ment gets rid of his shovel. It may be
rusty and honeycombed, bnt as long as
ho can show up with it at tho fort and
satisfies tho government that it hasn’t
gone to tho junk shop he’s happy.”
DEATH OF NO ACCOUNT.
“Tho soldiers ami the prisoners must
t>o pretty good chums?”
“Well, that’s very much as you take
it. It’s a common sight to see the guard
and tho prisoner reeling home together
if they’ve made out well.
“I suppose you'd imagine that prison
ers would often get away with these
kind of guardians, but they don’t. When
ever tho soldier takes it into his head
that tho prisoner is going to escape he
just shoots him dead, and that’s all there
is to it. No coroner comes aronnd and
post inortems aro unknown. Why, 1
was walking one day with a friend on
one of tho chief streets of Jacmel.
“Right in front of us was a drunken
soldier and a drunken prisoner. ‘Now,'
said my friend, ‘you watch that fellow
and see if ho doesn't take it into hia
head that his prisoner is going to escape,
and if he does ho will shoot him.’ Sure
enough, a minute or two after tho
drunken prisoner staggered into tho mid
dle of thostreet, and tho equally drunken
soldier ups with his Long Tom and
shoots him dead.
“Tilings are not qnite as bad at Port-
an-Prince as they are at Jacmel and the
smaller towns on the island, but the dif
ference is not worth talking of. Hayti
collects plenty of money in duties, but it
is all grabbed by a few jnen, while the
mass of tho people aro left to get on as
best they can, anil are forced to support
out of their pockets as objects of charity
soldiers and convicts.”—New \ork Re
corder.
Savin# tt Sparrow.
An authentic incident in the career of
General Robert E. Lee is told as au evi
dence of his sweetness of disposition and
natnral kindliness. One day he was in
specting the batteries over the lines tie-
low the city of Richmond, and the sol
diers had gathered in a group to wel
come him. This action drew upon them
tho fire of the Union guns.
The general faced about and advised
the men to go under shelter. But he
did not do this himself. Walking on,
although in apparent danger, he picked
up aud replaced an unfledged sparrow
which hail fallen from its nest near by.
The act was instinctive, but perhaps
indicates a really higher endowment
than ability to condnct notable cam
paigns— Youth’s Compauion.
A Great Walker.
Henrick Ibsen is a methodical walker.
So fond is ho of hia daily walk that he
takes it rain or shine, and tho cotton
umbrella which he always carries has
become a part of hi» individuality. Hia
favorite time for walking is an hour be
fore twilight. He writes incessantly all
day and adopts this method of resting
his tired brain and body. Hia well knit,
muscular frame attests his good health,
and he can stand nvf amount of literary
work. It Is said of Ibsen that be writes
one year and walks tho next—Washing
ton 8tor.
