When ask ed whether he had ever seen General Lee, he replied: "Yes; I was a sort of orderly for Uncle Robert for awhile. He's a mighty calmlike man when a fight is going on. " This story is told of General John B. Magruder : "Our General Magruder thinks a pow erful heap of what he eats and wears. Bo alien has a right smart of truck. . "There was a Texas feller one time who had straggled from his brigade, and he were a pert one, he were, stran ger. He were hungry enough to eat a general, buttons and all that Texas feller were. He saw Magruder's table all spread, with a heap of good fixin's on it, and I'll be hanged if he didn't walk in, pert as yon please, grabbed a knife and fork and opened fire all along the line on them fixin's. "Magruder heard something in his tent and hurried in and asked that Tex as chap what brought him thar. The Texan 'lowed he were hungry. Then the general, stiff and grandlike, said, 'Do you know, sir, at whose table you are eatin?' "The Texas chap, he kept drivin in the pickets on them chick 'ns, and he said to the gen'ral, said he, 'No, old hoes, and I ain't nowayspartie'lar, nei ther, since I've come solderin.' " "What did Magruder do?" asked a Yankee listener. "Do? Why, he saw them chicken fix in's were spiled, and he jest put his arm under his coattail, pulled his hat over his eyes and walked out And that Texas hoes didn't leave anything on that thar table 'ccpt the plates not even his 'compliments. "Who were he? Well, no matter. He hadn't no manners, he hadn't He were powerful hungry, stranger, that chap wore." A Fortunate Accident, "lam lost!" the prima donna sobbed.

Gov't Report mm RENEWAL OF YOUTH A STRANGE STORY FOM A BRASKA VILLAGE. NE Villagers Excited Over' the Increased Vigor of the Older Inhabitants -Experience of Two "Vets." From the Wo Id Herald, Omaha, Neb. A World-Herald reporter was at traotea oy tne evidence 01 renewed ac tivity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce, a suburb of Omaha, Neb., and inquired the cause. air. Andrew i inkenkeler, who was a member of Company B of the First Iowa Volunteers during the war, made the following explanation so far as he himself is oouoerned: "in July, istio, wnue my company was on the march through to Austin, Texas, I whs attacked with rheuian tism of the worst kind in one leg, at Alexander, Louisiana. Being weak, I was sunstuok and - remained unoon soious lor several Hours. &very sum mer since I have been unable to .stand, the heat of the sun, and hav&eeu compelled to give up my work.- a?b$r0 was in my head a bearing -down f eel ing, which increased until -'it-, seamed my head would burst, aod'it caused ringing in my ears, and palpitation of the heart set in, so that.' the; r8hgh"t"et noise would set my h'ttfthuiuijiugr oeverai luuen it una rwuueieu uiu .uji conscious for from eevto'totuii hqnrs at a time. In addition: i. this 4he rheumatism extended op m'j-. entif side until it drew my head down. on my shoulder. I lost my 'fitrength'.aud flesh and was totally unfit for work. "For" twenty-eight years I have con suited pnysicians and taken their pre scriptions without deriving any mater ial benefit My ailments increased in intensity until I was assured that there was no hope for me. During last year I went into the butcher business, but the dampness from the ice used in' creased my rheumatio pains td such an extent that I was not onlv counselled to quit the business, but was confined to my house and bod for nearly six months. "In November last I read in the World-Herald a oase of a man who had been entirely cured from the ailments from which I was suffering, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. On November 28 I purchased a box. In a week I was astonished to know that I felt better than I had for six months past, and before I had used half a box the ringing in my ears be' gan to lessen in volume and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time I took my first pill I was able to sit up in bed. On Jan uary 1st I was able to go out and walk around a little. . The palpitations of my heart entierly ceased.

"The loss is in one sense nominal, " replied he. "You understand, fire does not burn the body of a pine tree. It only trams off the bark and foliage. The trunk of the burned tree is as good as ever it was. with this excention the tree, after it is burned, must be cut the succeeding winter, else it will become worm eaten and worthless. "This fire is a blessing in disguise to labor. Every owner of burned pine stumpage must go to work this ooming winter and cut every foot of it. and many of these owners are forced to cut perhaps hundreds of millions of feet of stumpage they would not otherwise have cut for years to come. They are, you see, forced to employ immense crews of men they would not otherwise have had use for. "St Paul Globe. Tbe Record Price For Flctares.

Geaste Davis and Bis Notable Work at a Writer of Songs. ' Few of the many millions of people who have sung or otherwise enjoyed "The Fatal Wedding," "The Light house by the Sea," "The Maple on the Hill" and numerous other popular songs are aware thnt Guesie L, Davis, the man who composed tbem, is a negro. Davis, who is still a very young man, spent his boyhood in Cincinnati, where be became acquainted with James E. Stewart, the author of "Jenny, the Flower of Kildare," and other woll known songs. Buvls hod considerable taleat for song writing, although be could not read or write music, and Stewart, before he died a drunkard in the Cincinnati worknouse, gave Mm a great many points concerning the busi BOSS : Davis first song was "The Maple on the Hill. ' He composed the words and the melody, but a friend, whose music- " , GUSSIK L. DAVIS, 5 education was more extensive, wrote tout be score for hi m. By advancing $2C to a rrablisher Davit had the sonu nub. TUShed. and it was such a great success that he decided to make song writing his, life work. With commendable pluck he procured work as a chore boy in a Chicago musical college and worked his way through, the institution, devoting three years to hard study. . About this time he fell in love with a pretty octoroon girl of Cincinnati, Miss Lottie B. Stark, who gave him the inspiration for one of his most success ful songs in a very prosaio manner. She sent him a pair of suspenders upon which was embroidered a good likeness of a lighthouse and a ship. Davis natu rally admired the suspenders and looked at them bo long and earnestly that he Concluded to write a song about a light house and a ship. The result was "The Lighthouse by the Sea," a song that won wivlw' popularity a few years age and was played by street bands and hand organs from one end of the coun try td the other,- Davis -a arrjed the pretty octoroon in 1885, ar)d she has been of great assist ance to him in his musical work. They live in JleSsc York, and Davis has already written about 600 songs, a number of which have been great successes. One odd thing, about the business is that when a bobs becomes popular it is soon of no valtle.' A gieut many copies are sold' at first? but when the pnblio tires of -it the. itajo ceases abruptly. One of Davis' best, productions, "Un Hoard the Morning Star," won a .prize in a com petition entered by many of the most prominent song writers in the country. , - .- PUJCfcY CUBAN PATRIOTS. They Are Rapl11y Procuring Arms and An ' aCenddent of Ultimate Victory. The Cpban patriots have an army of 25,000 men in the field and are making such a formidable fight for liberty that the first Spanish reserve has been called out to re-enforce the 125,000 troops Gen eral Martinez Campos is ineffectually using to put down the rebellion in Cu ba. Santa Clara and Puerto Principe, two of the six provinces, are almost wholly in the possession of the insur gents, who are gaining strength and confidence every day. Just now the Cu bans and their friends in the United States are particularly encouraged be cause of the fact that Major General Carlos Roloff and eight other brave pa triot officers recently landed in Santa Clara, Cuba, with the most powerful expedition ever dispatched by the friends of the insurgents. .... Hundreds of repeating rifles, two small cannon for mountain fight ing, hundreds of revolvers, 700,000 ' rounds pf ammunition, 600 pounds of dy namite and many other munitions of war urgently needed by the pa triots were car ried In safety past watching Spanish cruisers and placed in the gehehai. roloff. hands of General Zayas, who is in command of the Santa Clara troops. Nearly 600 men, many of them veterans of the last war for inde pendence, were landed at the same time. The money to pay for . all these supplies was raised by the friends of the insurgents in New York, and it is said that these patriotic sympathizers expended about $80,000 in cash in fit ting out the expedition. The arms and ammunition were purchased in the United States, carried to the Bahamas In small boats, loaded on four schooners flying the British flag and then hurried to the Cuban coast ' Since the late war for independence began it is said 8,000 rifles, 2,000,000 rounds, of ammunition and numerous other supplies have been sent to the pa triots from the United States. The in surgents say Spain is out of money and that as her troops will not fight unless they are paid, victory seems certain for the flag with the single star.
