Have You a Baby.
“It may sound unreasonable,
and you may believe me or not,
but after taking four bottles of
this Tanlac medicine I have ac
tually gained 25 pounds” said J.
B. Willims, a well-known and
prosperous farmer who resides at
Greenbrier, Tenn., near Nashville,
Tenn.
“I had a bad case of stomach
trouble and it came pretty near
knocking me out “It was some
thing like nervous indigestion. I
began to go down hill. It looked
like the more medicine I took
and the harder I tried to get well,
the worse I would get. We had
pretty near everything to eat, but
nothing tasted right, and I got so
weak and nervous I couldn’t do
anyting, in fact, I was just com
pletely knocked out.
“Before I had this spell I weigh
ed 160 pounds, and kept falling
off until I got down to where I
only weighed 135 pounds.
“I am now back to my regular
weight again, andfeel strong and
well. My appetite is simply fine
now, and I don’t mind my work
now. This medicine just took
right hold of me, and put me on
my feet.
“Well, sir, the second day after
I began taking it, I got hungry
and oh, how good that old ham
did taste! I sleep fine now,, too,
and am not nervous like I was.
Even the barking of the dogs at
night does not wake me up."
“I never believed that a medi
cine could be made that would do
anything as much good as Tanlac
has done me, and I want to rec
ommend it to anybody who has
suffered with the same trouble I
have.”

CHIVALRY IN WAR
RECORD IS NOT ALL ONE OF
DEATH AND PAIN.
Stories That Come From the Trenches
In Europe Recall Similar Instances
of Gallant Deeds by American
Revolutionary Soldiers.
A gallant foe respects the courage
of his enemy. From the fighting line
in France came lately the story how
a German officer, under suspicion of
having improperly surrendered a for
tified angle of the German trenches
that was shortly after retaken by his
compatriots, was only saved from pun
ishment and the ruin of his career by
a Frenchman whom he had severely
wounded. The French soldier, on his
way to a hospital prison, learned by
chance of the accusation, and he in
sisted, at the cost of frightful pain
and exhaustion—for his wound was
in the cheek and jaw—upon dictating
the testimon} that cleared the man
who had nearly killed him and had
disfigured him for life.
A notable instance of a soldier’s
chivalrous defense of his enemy’s rep
utation occurs in the history of our
own country, as an American historian
has pointed out.
John Callender, an artillery captain
at the battle of Bunker Hill, was
caught by General Putnam in the very
act of leaving his post, and was or
dered back under pain of being shot.
There was no time to listen to ex
planation or remonstrance. When
the fight was over Callender’s state
ment that his pieces had become
Jammed, and that he was withdrawing
them to cover for repairs would prob
ably have been accepted had it not
been also unfortunately true that the
men under his command had all bolt
ed, shamelessly abandoning the guns.
At least, so it appeared; although the
fact was that they had broken away,
not to fly, but to fight in the ranks
with muskets snatched from the dying
and dead. But the court-martial that
tried the unhappy captain cashiered
him for cowardice.
At once Callender did a brave
thing; braver than fighting, although
it meant fighting, too. Deprived of
his commission, he re-enlisted as a
private; and his comrades, if any
shunned him at first, soon learned to
believe in his innocence. It was to
a British officer, however, that he
owed his complete vindication. In
the course of a losing battle, Callen
der, fighting with desperate courage,
continued to load and fire his gun af
ter all his officers were killed and his
companions had retreated. When his
ammunition was gone he mounted as
tride the gun, resolved that his death
at his ppst should give the lie to his
unjust condemnation. His conduct so
aroused the admiration of the British
officer opposed to him that he ordered
his men not to fire on the solitary, un
armed hero, but to close in and cap
ture him. Then learning his story, he
refused even to hold him prisoner,
but dismissed him without exchange,
bearing a letter to General Washing
ton that testified to his courage.
Washington joyfully restored his
commission and ordered his sentence
erased from the records.—Youth’s
Companion.
Elephants and Camels Drill.
Elephants and camels, carrying two
machine-gun sections of the Twenty-
eight company of the United States
marina corps quartered at the exposi
tion at San Diego, Cal., took part in ex
perimental maneuvers and quickly
demonstrated the feasibility of their
use in actual warfare conditions such
as now obtain in Mexico.
Mounting one operator and tripod
machine gun to an elephant, attended
by several United States marines on
foot, the elephants displayed surpris
ing agility in traversing over rough
ground and wheeling into proper posi
tion for firing. The elephants, when
ordered to lie down, made a perfect
breastworks, behind which the ma
rines were enabled in 30 seconds to
employ an effective machine-gun fire.
Both elephants and camels would
prove useful in an extended campaign,
such as the present one in Mexico, an
official declared, for both can carry
large loads and can go long distances
without water. Elephants are more
nervous under fire than camels; but
with proper training they can be cured
of gunshyness.
Keeping It From the Public.
One night during the run of Under
Cover at the Cort theater in New
York, William Courtenay, who is sup
posed to toss a string of pearls to his
pal waiting beneath the window, made
a wild pitch, and the heavy jewels
went into the audience and hit a man,
seated near the front, in the forehead,
cutting his skin deeply, and causing
him to bleed profusely. The man was
taken to a retiring room, and his
wound dressed, and the press repre
sentative bent every effort, and suc
cessfully, to keep the story from the
papers. Its publication would not have
encouraged timid persons to occupy
front row seats and expose themselves
to the chance of being struck in the
eye with smuggled pearls.

the adroitness and effect one could
possibly wish.
