A Story of Gen- Andy Burt-
Toths ssries of anecdotes about
Brig Gen. “Andy” Bort’s markman
ship now current, a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record, who served
under that gallant soldier during the
civil war, adds a new one.
Il eeems that when Burl was cap
tain in the Eighteenth United Blates
Infantry, in April, 1864, the compa
nies bad daily target practice, the man
making the best shot of the day being
excused from duty for twenty-four
hours.
One day a six-footer from Indians
named Brown made a bull’s eye the
first shot.
“Load your rifle for me,” said Capt.
Burt, ’’and if I don't duplicate your
shot I’ll exouse you from a camp
guard for a week.”
Brown, unobserved, lore two car
tridges and poured the charges of
both into his weapon, then dropped in
the two balls, point foremost, and
rammed them home. Burt took the
gun, equalled down, rested his elbows
on bis knee and aimed long and de
liberately. When he pulled the trig
ger the recoil threw him fiat on bis
back.
When be opened his eyes the com
pany wag shouted: “Belter lie still
Capt. Burt! The d—d gun is kicking
yet!”
And Capt. Burl's reply, according
to our correspondent, would have
dene credit to “Fighting Bob” Evans.

The Postofflce Robbed-
The poatoffice al Concord was brok
en into Monday night and about $75
worth of stamps were stolen. Ths
building was entered by the back door,
the burgler boring a hole larue enough
to reach through and elide back the
bar that held it.
The poatoffice is located in Mra.
McLendon's store, and while there
were goods of all aorta within reach of
the burglar, he look only the stamps
and a few cents in change, and a gold
dollar that Miss Ida McLendon, the
postmistress, has kept for several years*
So far nothing has developed that
gives any promise of catching the
guilty party.
Pitt’s Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend of anxious mothers and puny
children. A few doses will demonstrate
its value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, G a.,
writes: “I consider it the best medicine I
have ever used in my family. It does all
you claim for it, and even more ”

New Woman Dentist
Everitt told this at a meeting of the
FooLThiogs-We-Have Dune Club,
says the Chicago Record
“She was a deotiM and bad opened
an office on the eighth floor. Nearly
every impressionable young man in
the bnildiog was her slave, but she
didn’t seem to know it.
“One day I picked up her glove in
the elevator and' he thanked me so
sweetly th»* I went fiw fl .ore beyond
where I wente-l io get off. Next day
she (rose me when I tipped my hat
and the glove was evidently a closed
incident. Finally I decided to feign
a toothache—something I had never
bad io my life—and become acquaint
ed with ber as a patron. Accordingly
I entered ber office, and, sitting down •
in the wailing room, grippsd my jaw
in both bands, emitted several blood
curdling groans, and tried to look like
Richard Mansfield.
"Boon I was in the chair of torture
and the dentist was sndeavoring to
find the toothache, which I had de
scribed with a Stove Cranisb elabora
tion of detail. Everytime I endeav
ored to start up a conversation, how
ever, she would open my mouth and
try another teat. She used airguns,
hydraulic machines, buzzers, jabbers,
grinders, hammers and barrows, and
when I endeavored to explain that
the aobe was all gone she stuffed
enough rubber in my mouth to make
a poncho lor a soldier, and I couldn’t
even berk.
’ Finally she slipped a wedge be
tween two teeth and then touched
some sort of an electric apparatus that
spread the molars at least balfan inch.
I must have grown pale at this, as she
look the rubber out of my mouth and
gave me a drink of water, after allow
ing me to climb out of the chair. •
“ 'l’ve tried every test known to
dentistry,’ said she sweetly, 'but I can
not find the ache. I guess the trouble
in your head is not with your teeth.
You should consult a brain specialist.’
"Well, at this shot I couldn’t even
apologize. I simply sneaked, and next
week I moved my office to a building
four blocks distant. I don’t believe in
women entering the professions, any
way.

Our Raw Material Vot Soldiers.
The average young American has grown
up with the habit of thinking and acting
for himself, and when he goes a soldiering
he is capable of throwing as much personal
zeal into charges like those at Santiago as
if he were fighting a duel and the fate of
his country and all he held dear depended
upon his personal exploits. Tho well
drilled troops of European countries are
formidable enough certainly, but there are
resources of intense personality in such
men, as, for Instance, the members of Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt’s regiment of
rough riders, that count in a crisis for ■
groat deal more than tho passive mechan
ical excellences of the trained soldiery of
the military powers.
It is not boasting, but the sober truth,
to say that no other nation possesses in the
great mass of its population any such
large percentage of fighting material.
Great Britain has in her young men of the
higher classes, from whom she draws her
officers, as brave and capable an element
as can be found in the world. But her
farm laborers are no more to be compared
with the eons of American farmers than
with an Australian football team. Nor
are the young men of her industrial cen
ters—Manchester, Sheffield and the rest
in any manner equal to the young men of
American towns in physical development
or in personal initiative and adaptability.
—Review of Reviews.
Missed His Manners.
An absentminded American recently
fell under disfavor in an English club for
neglecting to notice a small courtesy. He
was entering the vestibule of the club
house and failed to perceive that a fellow
member was holding open the door for
him. Courtesy required him to thank the
stranger who had performed this slight
service and then to reciprocate it. As they
were both entering the building, and as
there was a second door leading into the
central hall, he ought to have opened it
and allowed the fellow member to pass in
ahead of him. Being intent upon his own
thoughts, ho pushed in and took no no
tice of the stranger who had opened the
first door for him. The first man was ir
ritated by the slight and subsequently de
nounced the abeentminded member as the
worst bred man in the club, and when the
story was told in detail tn the smoking
room opinion was ao strongly against the
American offender against English usage
that the situation was explained to him,
and he was forced to make his peace by an
apology for his abeentminded breach of
good manners.—Exchange.
