BANDON RECORDER.
Maneppa.
Historically, Mazeppa was hetman
of the Cossacks. He was born of it no­
ble Polish family in Podolia and be­
came a page In the court of Jan Cas-
mir, king of Poland. While In this ca­
pacity he Intrigued with Therisla, the
young wife of a Podonlatt count, who
discovered the amour and had the
young page lashed to a wild horse and
turned adrift. The liorse rushed In
mad fury and dropped down dead in
the Ukraine, where Mazeppa was re­
leased by a Cossack family, wlio nurs­
ed him carefully In their own hut. In
time he became secretary to the het­
man and at tlie death ot the prince
was appointed his successor.
Peter I much admired bls energy of
character and created him prince of the
Ukraine, but In the wnrs with Sweden
Mazeppa deserted to Charles Nil and
fought against Russia at the battle of
Poltava. After the loss of this battle
Mazeppa fled to Valentin and then to
Bender. Some say he died a natural
death and others that he was put to
denth for treason by the czar. Lord
Byron makes Mazeppa tell bis tale to
Charles nfter the battle of Poltava.

and lasting colors. The “New York
craze’’ is the very latest, and it might
well do for a Stanford University pillow
as well. It is made of bright red ma­
terial and three flufl’y black plumes so
deftly printed on them that they look
as though they had been carelessly laid
down on the cushion, and a bit of gold
thread is worked about the steins as if
fastening them gracefully together.
The pillow is finished with a good
black cord. The feathers can be worked
in black silk, but to Polly’s mind they
are attractive without it. Another of
the sofa cushions that has iiad full sway
is an Epworth Leage cushion, combin­
ing the colors of the league finished on
the edge with tiny rutiles of silk ribbon
combining the two shades. Embroid­
ery came into play on these pillows as
well, for they were freely decorated with
California (Hippies and their foliage. Of
course these pillows on exhibition were
done by experts with the needle und
were really works of art.
BIG ENOUGH TO HIT
PERFUMED CIGARS.
The
One« General Roaecraas
Offered to a Friend.
Once
One of the stories told by old em­
ployees In the treasury department at
Washlugton is of the time when Gen­
eral ltosecrans was register. The gen­
eral never smoked aud knew nothing
about cigars. He d< termined, however,
to have a box of good cigars handy for
tlie benefit of friends who might drop
into the register's office. The general
accordingly purchased a box of expen­
sive cigars, put them in a drawer and
forgot all about them for some time.
Then, one day, when a friend was call­
ing. the general remembered the cigars
aud brought them out.
"I know nothing about cigars,” said
Rosecrans, "but I am told that these
are very fine.”
Ills friend lighted a cigar, and a look
of pain aud horror instantly overspread
his face, lie tried to conceal his feel­
ings and puffed manfully at the cigar
for several seconds. Then ltosecrans,
noticing that he was growing pale, ask­
ed what was the trouble.
^’General,” said the visitor, “I don’t
want to be ungrateful, but I'm afraid
It's this cigar."
"Impossible!” exclaimed Rosecra ns.
“Why, when I bought them I was told
that tliey were the finest cigars on the
market.”
"Well, general, you were deceived.
The cigar tastes and smells exactly as
if It were made of camphor."
“t'aniphor!” stammered Rosecrans,
looking chapfallen. "Why, I never
thought, but perhaps camphor does in­
jure a cigar.” And, reaching Into the
drawer, he brought to view several gar­
ments tilled with camphor balls. “Do
you suppose that cau be the trouble?”
he inquired.

Man Thought Differently.
He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with a face that bore
the marks of much thinking aud pre­
mature responsibility. I learned after­
ward Hint lie was supporting a crippled
mother and un Invalid sister who had
been left helpless In the world by the
death of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think of
it. He just sold papers.
At the loop on Fifteenth street a
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. A ragged young girl was
selling flowers at the Fifteenth street
end of the waiting station when a man,
rushing to catch his car, knocked her
against tlie side of the building. With­
out stopping, probably not havlug no­
ticed what he had done, he continued
Ills rush, when the boy stepped in front
of him defiantly.
“Say, wliat do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me. I’m big
enough.”
The man paused In surprise and then
glanced around. He saw the flower
girl picking up her wares and under­
stood. Without a moment's hesitation
he went back to her, gave her enough
motley to make her eyes sparkle with
Joy and said:
“I’m sorry, my dear, that I hurt you.
I didn’t see.” Then, turning to the boy,
he continued: “You said you were big
enough, young man, but you’re a great
deal bigger than you think. Men

Then lie caught ills car, and the boy

CHOICE MISCELLANY CLOGGING THE PIPES
The Soldier aud 111« Cluthluff.
At a banquet in Manila General
Chaffee, Just buck from the campaign
in China, made a speech In which he
deplored the careless dress of the
American troops and urged the officers
to employ good tailors so as to set a
good example In the matter of dress to
the men. This criticism by General
Chaffee, the war department says, is
undoubtedly deserved.
European officers are sticklers for
proper dress when on duty, and the
farther they are from home the more
careful do they become with their
clothing. Not so with the American
soldier when he gets away. Then the
western Idea of careless, swinging gait
asserts Itself In all things.
The war department officials say
they wish Americans would be a little
more careful in this matter of dress,
but there is no suggestion that any new
regulations are to be put into effect.
The men are all furnished with good,
well Utt Ing clothes. The American sol­
dier is clad in a uniform that is more
expensive and better fitting when new
than the uniform of the soldier of auy
other nation. The whole trouble is that
he does not wear it properly, ne sim­
ply will not keep bls coat buttoned
when the weather gets too warm for
him. The officers sometimes try to
keep the men spruced up, but officers
have a good many tlimgs to look after,
and tills alone would be a great task.
So the American soldier swaggers
along, careless and Independent, and
his officer is proud of him even beside
the nattiest soldiers In the world.
