Mr. Qoss, in hia "Recollections of a Private," quotes the remarks of a Con- :' federate about two famous leaders under whom he had fought. This man said of Stonewall Jackson, "If you nns had some good general like him, I reckon you uns could lick we uns. ' 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- . erf ul heap of what he eats and wears. Ho allers has a right smart of truck. ; "There was a Texas feller onetime .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 you 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 yon are eatin?' "The Texas chap, he kept drivin iu the pickets on them chick 'ns, and ho said to the gen'ral, said he, 'No, old hoss, and I ain't nowayspartio'lar, noi thor, 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 hia arm under his coattail, pulled his hat over his eyes and walked out. And that - Texas hoss didn't leave anything on that ' thar table 'cept the plates not even his compliments. "Who were he? Well, no matter. He hadn't no manners, he hadn't.

BRASKA , VILLAGE. , Villagers Excited Over the Increased Vigor of the Older Inhabitants Experience of Two "Vets." From the Wo. Id Herald, Omaha,' Ntb.J A World-Herald reporter was at tracted by the evidence of renewed ac tivity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce, a suburb of Omaha, Neb., and inquired the cause. Mr. Andrew Finkenkeler, 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 ooncerned: - , . ;' "In July, 1866," while my 'company was on the march through to Austin, Texas, I was attaoked with rheuma tism of the worst kind in one leg, at Alexander, Louisiana. Being weak, I was sunstuck and remained uncon scious for several hours. Every sum mer since I have been unable to stand the heat of the sun, and have been compelled to give up my work. There was in my head a bearing-down feel ing, which increased until it seemed my iiead would burst, and it caused a ringing in my ears, and palpitation of the heart set in, so that the slightest noise would set my heart thumping. Several times it has rendered . me un conscious for from seven to ten hours- at a time.:. In addition to this the rheumatism extended up my entire side until it drew my head down on my shoulder. I lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work. "For twenty -eight years I have con sulted physicians 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 to such an extent that I was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my house and bed for nearly six monthf. "In November, last I read in the World-Herald a' ctse of man who had been entirely oured 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. On Febru ary 0 I was so thoroughly oured that I accepted a position as night watchman in the Forest Lawn cemetery, remain ing out of doors from OP. M. until 6 A. M. I have gained in weight from 144 pounds, which I weighed in No vember last, to 173 , pounds, which I weigh now. For nerve building and for enriching the blood Pink Pills are , unexcelled. They may be had of druggists or direct from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Sohenectady, N. Y., for 60 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50. The Fires Will Make Work For Many. "What is the probable loss from tho fire on pine stnmpage throughout the 3tate?" was asked of a leading logger. "The loss is in one sense nominal," replied he. , VYou understand, fire does not burn the body of a pine tree. It only burns off the bark and foliage. The trunk of the burned tree is as good as ever it Was, with this exception 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 coming 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, yon see, forced to employ immense crews of men they would not otherwise have had use for. "St Paul Globe. . . The Record Price For Pictures. . Eleven thousand guineas (something over 56,000) is now the record prioo paid in an auction room in London for a picture. This amount was realized at Christie's for Sir Jdshua Reynolds' por trait of Lady Betty Delmse, sister of the Earl of Carlisle, with her children, a picture whioh is well known through engravings. It was put up at 6,000 guineas and was secured by Charles Wertheimer, a dealer, for' 11,000 guin eas. London Standard. - The Crater Collapsed.

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 ate aware that Guesie L. . Davis, the man who composed them, is a negro. Davif, who is still a very young man, spent his boyhood in Cincinnati, where he became acquainted with James E. Stewart, the author of "Jenny, the Flower of Kildare," and other well known songs. ' avis bad considerable talent for song writing, although he could not read or write music, and Stewart, before he died a drunkard in the Cincinnati workhouse, gave him a great many points concerning the busi ness. - v . ' : , Davis' first song was "The Maple on the Hill. " He composed the words and the melody, but a friend, whose musio- GUSSIB L. DAVIS. al education was more extensive, wrote out the score for him. By advancing $2C to a publisher Davis had the song pub lished, 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 so 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 wide popularity a . few years age and was played by street bands and hand organs from one end of .- the conn try to the other. Davis married the pretty octoroon in 1885, and she has been of great assist ance to him in his musical work. They live in New 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 song becomes popular it is soon of no value. A great many copies are sold at first, but when the public tires of it the sale ceases abruptly. One of Davis' best productions, "On Board the Morning Star, 7 won . a prize in a com petition entered by many of : the most prominent song writers in the country. ' PLUCKY CUBAN PATRIOTS. They Are Rapidly Procuring Arms and Are Confident of Ultimate Victory. The Cuban 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 tho 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 email cannon for mountain fight ing, hundreds of revolvers, 700,000 rounds of 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 Gene.vl roloff. . lands of General Zayas, who is in command of the Santa Clara troops. Nearly 500. 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. M7 Housekeeping at Samoa. . Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson says that housekeeping in Samoa was not so idyl lic as it might seem. ' Her supplies came from New Zealand or Australia once a month, so that if she wanted a bottle of bluing of a bag of flour, for instance, she had to send half across the Pacific to get it The native diet was all well enough for a few weeks, but as it con sisted almost solely of fruit and fish it began to pall on European palates. Housekeeping in this South Sea paradise (of romances) had other drawbacks, par ticularly in vthe matter of expense, which was fully six or seven times as great, Mrs. Stevenson says, as living on a corresponding scale in San Francisco. As for society, "there's more of it to the square inch in Samoa than in any other place I know," saya Mrs. Stevenson, but it appears to be largely of the living picture kind.' 1 r- "; ' ' ' ' V ' How Jones Proposed, Jones Miss Arabella, do yon like cabbage?

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the rtsiilt, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are oaused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flammed condition of tbe niuoons surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrn) that cannot be cured by Hairs Catarrh Uure. Bend tor circulars, tree. : F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo.
