The man who is so close fisted and
narrow hearted that he Jwlll not help
support a home enterprise should be
drummed out ot the community.
The worid has no use for such men in
this enlightened day.
It is a foolish girl who marries a mac
to reform him. Sweethearts rei'c-m
very few men, and wives ieform still
fewar. 't he girl who expecte to
change the nature of a pig by marry
ing one will get some very ad lessons
in hogology if she presists in carrying
out her principles. The drunkard who
is all smiles and considerateness a < a
sweetheart, and who invests a large
per cent of his salary in cloves, etc.,
will get brutally and hopelessly drund
as a bur, band, hnd lie out all nigh’ at
ehe back door of a dawn town saloon.
The best sort of a naan for a girl to
marry is a man who has never needed
to be refotmed at all, but has arways
been upright in his life.—Standard.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put togeather, and until the
Ust few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc*
tors pronounced it a local disease, and
precribed local remedies, and by const
antly failing to cure with local treat
ment, and pronounced it. incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

on the market. It is taken internally

Lost his Spsecli in a Saloon.
“If over I take a drink again,”smd
. Pafi'ic Kelly, a boiler maker,about
three weeks ago, “I hope I shall be
struck dumb ”
\ csteruay afternoon at 6. o’clock
Kelly entered a saloon at No. 30Dc
c iur street with seme friends end
ordered a drink of “good old corn
whisky,”
Tre white liquor was poured out
and Kelly and his friends clinked'the
glasses as they prepared to drink each
other’s good health.
As econ as the whisky was swal
lowed Kelly turned away and walked
to the rear of the saloon. One of his
friends followed him and asked him a
question. Kelly moved his lips, hut
made no reply. The question was i e
peated. and the lips moved without a
sound being uttered. Seizing a pen
cil and a slip of paper, Kelly wrote, a s
his band .trembled with excitement;
“I am struck dumb.’,
He was wild with fright and sank
upon a box in the saloon. The am
was summoned and he was taken to
the hospital.
The physicians at the hospital made
an examination, and all they could
say was; “There has been some sort
of paralysis of the toDgue. The case
is a strange one and we will have to
watch it a while before we esn say pos
tively just what is the matter with
the man.”
The affair caused much talk and
those who were aware of Kelly’s prom
ise and his sudden loss of speech
shook their heads and said: “It
certainly looks very queer.” Kelly
has been a man addicted to drir.k for
a number of years. He resides on
Foundry street and earns good w ages
as a boiler maker. Every now and
theu he would get on a spree and he
has t een arrested by the police on the
charge of drunkeness. He aad many
friends who thought much of bun
in spite of the fact that he drank at
times to excess. They always helped
him when he was in trouble and got
him out of the police barracks. He
generally had the money to pay his
fiue when he was tried-
A number of times Keily promised
his friends to stop krinking, if is said
and about three weeks ago he got on
a larger spree than usual and a friend
paid Ins police court fiue, and then it
was that Kelly made the vow never
to take another drink.
It is said he meant to ketp his
vow, and it was beleived he would.
He spoke earnestly whon tie uttered
the wish that he might be struck
dumb if whiskey passed his lips again
It is said he drank some beer last
Saturday, saying he had only prom
ised not to driDk wb ..Vsy. The b-ep
from beer te whiskey ays s! art
when a man lets the former break
into his resolutions, and so Kelly
Must have found it when he enter
ed the saleon on Decatur street Lst
evening to take a drink of whisky,
What puzzles the physicians is
that Kelly’s heolth seems all right
and nothing serious can be found the
matter wiih him except the loss of
speech. He fries to talk, but no
souhd comes from his lips. It looks
as if he frames the words wi'h his
tongue and no sound results. It is
more a loss of voice than a parah is
ol the tongu6. He is simply dumb

A SOLDIER’S WIFE.
A more desolate site for a fort could
not have been selected by tho govern
ment. However, the United .Stated gov
ernment was not looking for beautiful
Bceuery when it had the post built, but
for a locution close to the treaoherous
Indian aud whore the soldiers could
quickly move to the front.
Around tho fort stretched the monot
onous plains, rising and failing—tho
earth's waves—in evory direction until
in tho distanc3 they seemed to meet tho
sky. It was a dreary, desolate place,
the only’sign of vegetation being the
sagebrush, the grease weed and bunches
of cactus everywhere. There were acres
of alkali, all burning beneath the sun
during the day and freezing beneath the
moon at night. Thero was no animal
life upon ail the expanse of country
either except the prairie dogs and now
and then a lean and hungry coyote.
So dismally cnlm was the landscape
that even the buzzard hesitated In his
6tately flight, and the little gray hawk
sailed on aud on, doubtless with bis
eyes closed to tho earth.
Asa general thing thero was amuse
ment enough at tho fort. Men assigned
to the post made up their minds that
they depended upon each other for
amusements, and their wives shared the
same belief, and then were they not sol
diers, and were not the women soldiers’
wit es? But of course the little petty
jealousies and little potty quarrels crept
into that particular post just the same as
they had crept into every other post and
would continue to creep in as loug as
the government supported forts and as
long as men and women lived and
breathed, for that matter. It was very
lonely around the post now, for the
men had gone to tho front. The war had
been declared. That awful specter,
dreaded by every wife of n soldier and
longed for by the men, had come. There
was considerable speculation nB to its
probable length and much fear that they
would not be called out, they were so
far removed from the railroad. Perhaps
the war department would not even re
member the fort was in existence.
The women wero not anxious for the
war. They know what it meant. Their
faces were very sad when the orders
came calling out thp four troops of cav
alry that made-up the post. There was
wild cneering among the enlisted men
down around the stables and among the
youngsters, for each one looked forward
and saw himself returning at least a
oaptain, if not a major, and in flights
of fancy even a lieutenant colonel. They
did not stop to think that they might
be made only first lieutenants.
It was all excitement to the women,
too, for a few days, for they were so
Levy aasisfck.g the men that they did
not think of the long, weary days. Be
sides, they really did not believe that
their husbands would see any actual
warfare. They thought it would all be
over within a few weeks and theu John
nie would come marching home, and
they would have something else to talk
about beside the commonplace things
of life. But one woman thought about
it. She was the wife of the second lieu
tenant of Troop D. They had married
the very next day after his graduation
from tho Point, and his first station had
been at this lonely fort. He told her to
be brave.
“You are a soldier’s wife,” he said
to her, as she burst into tears and
buried her face on his shoulder.
“Yen, I am a soldier’s wife, but that
does not prevent me from having a
heart,” she answered.
“No,” he replied, "and, having a
brave heart, a true heart and a know
ledge that you are a soldier’s wife, you
must faco all sorrows and trials with
out flinching."
The words appealed to her. The half
a dozen other women in tho post thov
so much of her, a mere girl and pitied
Lor so that her h sband should be order
ed to tho they asked the
major to assign him us the officer in
charge cf tho fort during the absence of
the troops, but he begged so hard to go
that ho wasullowod to doso. Tho wom
en spoke to his wife about it; told them
what they had done.
“Robert wants to go, ” she said. “It
is the chance of a lifetime with him,
and does not his country call?”
“But you?” answered one of tho
women.
She looked her questioner straight in
the eyes.
“I am a soldier’s wife,” sho replied
proudly.
The rush was soon over, and the men
were now mounted and ready to go.
The officers bade their wives goodby,
and they, too, sprang into the saddle.
The bugle sounded, and the troopß took
up the march over to tho railroad. The
women stood and looked across tho sun
cursed plain until every particle of dust
raised by the horses had settled, u;. til
all tho world appeared just as before,
and then each went into her own house.
That night they gathered at the major’s
house and sat gazing out over the dark
ened plain and spoke of the absent ones.
The long weary waiting had begun.
The loneliness was more intense than

ever at the fort. Five troopers and a
lieutenant had been left to guard the
property and the w omen, and they were
the only signs of life down around the
quarters and the stables. The lieutenant
was morose and gloomy that he should
hnvo been selected as the one to remain
b hind and was not accounted muoh
ci puny to tho women the first few
days, hut gradually he became recon
ciled to his fate and sat with them ev
ery evening and talked of the probable
length of absence of tbo men and dis
cussed tho improbability of action.
They sent ouoe a week for the mail.
The first letters and papers brought
word that the four troops had joined
their regiment, and the letters were
filled with gossip about tho officers and’
their families, for a regiment is naught
but one largo family. Then came days
cf watching and waiting, and the next
was the movement of troops to Santiago.
Then the women knew that the war
had begun in earnest. The full realiza
tion of it came home to them. Tho older
women remembered when it was noth
ing ter their husbands to be ordered out
to suppress the lucliaua, whilo one or
two remembered the civil war, but
thoro was nothing of that kind for the
wife of the second lieutenant to remem
ber. She carried herself bravely, how
ever, and proudly said that she was the
wife of a soldier and all soldiers’ wives
should be brave, a remark that greatly
pleas ed the others.
The women learned more about her
now thnt her .husband w:‘B not pr' out
to monopolize all her time They learned
that she was quite alone in the world,
except for him; that sho was an orphan
and that the aunt who had reared her
had died. This increased their sympathy
for her, if that wore possible, for she had
their sympathy already. They could see
that her thoughts were all of her hus
band, but if they endeavored to speak
words of comfort to her she replied, “I
am a soldier's wife."
Tho news traveled slowly to them.
That perhaps was the hardest. Their
husbands might have been fn battle and
have been wounded or killed; the four
troops might bo wiped out and it would
be fully a week before they would know
it. When the papers did arrive, there
was a hurried glance at tho headlines
and then for the regimental head.
The battle of Santiago had been
fought and won. The news had been
telegraphed undersea and overland
and the papers had come out with the
particulars under display headlines. It
was just a woek after that tho papers
reached the fort. The trooper brought
them in the evening and delivered them
to tho women, sitting under the cotton
wood trees that skirted the parade
ground. The wife of the second lieuten
ant had gone for a walk and was not
with them. A cry burst from the white
lips of the women. The headlines told
them that their men had been in tho
thick of the fight. They glanced down
the columns, read the account and of
the deeds of bravery of their men. They
read the list of the dead and wounded.
The wife of the second lieutenant
came up to them. She saw the papers
lying in the laps of the women; she
glanced at their faces. She read the
truth.
"There has been a battle?” she said
interrogatively.
“Yes, ’’ said one of tho women.
"And Robert?” she asked.
"He was in the thick of the fight,
leading his men on and cheering them,”
answered one of her companions. “The
papers speak of his courage and bravery;
how he struggled on in tho face of f he
deadly fire, encouraging his men. Some
of the men fell, but with a cheer on
their lips for him, and then oame an
awful cross fire.”
She looked ont over the plain, the
moonlight changing the grease wood
and sagebrush into shadows and trans
forming the beds of alkali into shining
waves of silver.
"I knew he was bravo,” she said,
"and he was wounded?”
“Yes; very severely, and”— the
woman’s voice broke.
There was the sound of sobbing, and
one of the women arose aud gently
placed her arm about the waist of the
younger woman.
“My dear”— began one of them.
Sho drew away and unwound the arm
about her. Her faco was terribly drawn.
“Am I not a soldier’s widow?” she
asked.
Then she turned and walked slowly
into her house. —It. A. Eaton in St.

Indian Falla ua Shoplifter.
A Navajo Indian oan hide more bulk
within tho folds of his blanket than a
two bushel basket could hold and can
successfully hide many stolen articles
before our eyes. The settlers along the
Sail Juan art ! Animas rivers, during ha
early days, had to their siealable
possessions in one coiner ef their places
of abode and stand guard when the Na
vajoes were visitors, which was a too
frequent occurrence. “Chinny ah-go I”
(meaning something to eat) was the first
intimation generally that an Indian
was near (perhaps a half dozen). They
rarely exceeded half a dozen in number,
as they, like the American hobo, had
learned that smaller numbers stood a
better show to get something to eat.
. One day in A. R. Lincoln’s cabin, on
the south bank of the San Juan river,
three bachelors were partaking of their
evening meal when a Navajo with a
glass eye walked in. All tried to watch
the Indian’s movements, but he had
managed to get several articles nnder
his blanket and would not have been
detected had not an accident befallen
him. A hatchet which slipped from one
of the folds in his blanket fell, and the
sharp blade cut a long gash in the calf
of his leg. The Indian looked to the
roof of the cabin as if wondering where
the hatchet had fallen from, but the
blood spurting from the open gash be
trayed n:m His blanket was shaken,
and a butcher knife, miner’s candle
stick, several candles and a package of
tobacco, all belonging in the cabin, fell
on the earthy floor. —Durango (Ool.)
