LIEUT. HOBSON’8 RETURN.
Richard Hardlog Davis' Description of the Ala
bamian's Reception.
Hobson’s coining was one dramatic
picture of the war. The sun was set
ting behind the trail, and as he came up
over the crest he was outlined against
it.
Under a triumphal arch of palms the
soldiers saw a young man in the uni
form of the navy, his face white, with
the prison pallor, as his white duck, and
strangely in contrast with the fierce tan
of their own, and with serious eyes,
who looked down at them steadily.
For a moment he seemed to sit mo
tionless and then the waiting ^xuld
struck up “The Star Spangled Banner.”
A strange thing it was that no one
cheered or shouted nor gave an order,
bat every one rose to his feet slowly,
took off his hat slowly, and stood so,
looking up at him in absolute silence.
It was one of the most impressive
things I ever saw. No noise nor blare
nor shouted acclaim could have touched
the meaning or the depths of feeling
there was in that silence.
Then a red-lieaded, red-faced' trooper
leaped down into the road and shouted
“Three cheers for Hobson!” The men
roared and cheered. The Rough Riders
gave a cowboy yell and officers with
sous of their own in West Point leaped
up and down, and a foreign attache
threw uf)*his helmet into the ai~.
Hobson rode down between the lines,
raising his cap and smiling doubtfully.
Probably no one ever received reward so
swiftly or from sncli worthy hands as
those of the men who first taught him
what he was to his countrymen.
They were no seekers after celebrities.
That will come later. They were men,
instead, who knew a brave man, be
cause they were brave. They had won
the very ground he was on from the en
emy. It had cost them the loss-of eight
een hundred comrades.
They came running from the trenches
with rifles, from the lake where they
had been washing clothes. They
charged up the hills of San Juan a sec
ond time and surrounded them
shouting, happy mob.
Behindjhem rode two Spanish offi
cers who had been taken beyond the
lines only to find no one to exchange
for them. They sat on their horses
blindfolded with “first aid to the
wounded” bandages, and listened to
the tribute the Americans paid their
young countryman.
There is always something humorous
about the “jackies,” and after the se
rious earnest face of Hobson it was a
comic relief to see six obstinate mules
dragging an ambulance loaded with
seven clean, smart blue jackets, grin
ning, shouting, rolling over each other
in glee. Every one who had started to
ran after Hobson stopped to cheer them,
but they were turned aside from cheers
by the enlisted men shouting: “Say,
but yon sea fellers did not do a thing to
them the other night 1”
“Say, we heard yon; see?” yelled the
jackies. “Your shells fell right into
our hospital yard.”
“Say, but we wished we was with you ;
see?”
“They came in dead in carts.”
“Yon could not see the street for
them.”
It was no time for choosing smiles.
Men were standing on the rising banks
and the hills, waving hats and shouting.
Officers were shouting Hobson’s name.
SHAFTER’S AVAILABLE FORCE.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svecp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far ic advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

HEALTH IN THE TROPICS
Washington, July 12.—General Shatter’s available force today, after
counting all reinforcements and deducting the dead and wounded, is
22,850 fighting men, according to military estimates. This is based on an
estimate of 16,000 men in General Shatter’s original expedition and about
10,000 in various expeditions which have gone since then, making in all
36,000 men. Against this, however, must be deducted the casualties in
the fighting thus far, and also the men confined to the hospital by sick
ness. The deduction is roughly estimated at 3,000, leaving about 23,000
men available today as the fighting force of the American army.
of any important tropical disease.
The direct cause ot 99 per cent
of these diseases are germs. When
these germs and their habits are fully
known, victory will be within man’s
grasp. Most micro-parasites, when they
are once within the body, are fairly safe.
But these same parasites, in order that
their respective species may keep in ex
istence by spreading from one host to
another, must at some time or another
leave the human body, and during this
necessary extra corporeal state they are
eminently vulnerable. To kill them is
simply a matter of knowledge and the
application of this knowledge—that is
to say, sanitary science and sanitation.

Life There May be Made as Safe for Noi iherners
their Own Home.
The ques.ion of the white man’s abili
ty to conquer the tropics and to make
himself a permanent home in those de
lightful regions is one that has hitherto
possessed a purely academic interest for
physicians in this country, hut the for
tunes of war and projects of annexation
are making it probable that this will
soon be changed. Porto Rico, the Sand
wich Islands and theTPhilippines are all
tropical islands, and if they, one and ail,
come under our flag doubtless many of
our citizens will go thither to seek their
fortunes, and the question of acclimati
zation will at once become a most prac
tical one.
We find in the British Medical Jour
nal of April 30 an an interesting account
of what is, therefore, for us a most time
ly discussion on this topic. Tito discus
sion took place in the rooms of the Roy
al Gecgraphicial Society in the presence
of many of the best known authorities
on tropical pathology. Most of those
taking part in the debate held that here
is no reason whatever why the white
matt should not be able to adapt himself
to the new conditions of life in the trop
ics and protect himself against the dis
eases that prevail in those regions.
LEMONS AS MEDICINE.
They regulate the Liver, Stomach,
Bowels, Kidneys and Blood as prepared
by Dr. H. Mozley, in his Lemon Elixir,
a pleasant lemon drink. It cures,
biliousness, constipation, indigestion,
headache, malaria, kidney disease,
fevers, chills, impurities of the blood,
pain in the chest, heart failure, and all
other diseases caused by a torpid or
diseased liver and kidneys—nine-tenths
of all the diseases of the South and West
are caused by the failure of the liver
and kidneys to do their duty. It is an
established fact that lemons, when com
bined properly with other liver tonics,
produce the most desirable results upon
the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and
blood. Sold by druggists. 50c and $1
bottles.

can, why it shall not be held to have
violated the roles and regulations of this

to be paid because of such illegal act.

with the confession that in former years,

current about tropical colonization by
the white races. In recent years, how
