War stories of tboso "not mentioned in the reports” are now coming in ae returning soldiers recall tbe incident! of battle, and very many of these are full of the moot touching palboe, says tbe Courier Journal. Such a tale of a Santiago bero was recently told to me by a regular army officer. In tbe two Jaye’ real fighting before Santiago men of the different regiments be came mixed, and for a time lost to ihMir commands. This condition gave rise to tbe report that a certain few men had shown the “white feather.” One of tbe officers of Gen. Lawton's division observed a colored trooper of the Tenth Cavalry among his men, who explaind that be had lost his command, and asked that he be al lowed to remain where be was. He stayed and did fine service that day, and none of bis white comrades were able to outdo him in notable deeds of bravery. He twice risked losing bis life assisting tbe wounded to places of safety, but each time es caped uninjured. That night be asked tbe officer be bsd met earlier in the day to give him a note to his own commander, ex plaining his absence, and certifying to hie good conduct during the fighting that day. Thia was willingly given him, and with the precious paper clasped tightly in hie hand, under cover of darkness he ataited in search of his own command. The next morning at dawn Lieut, L started on a search for wound* ed men in bis division, happened to stumble over a prostrate body. He immediately recognised tbe brave cavalryman of the day before, who was fast losing consciousness. After struggling a moment for strength to speak, the prostrate man held up his precious little slip of paper and said : “Give it to Capt. A , of L Troop, if you can find him, and tell him Williams wa’n’ no coward.” With a look of satisfaction in his eyes his hand dropped to his side, and he was dead. That bero rests now in a shallow trench, with ten or twelve other un known privates. CASTORIA. Been the * inli Yoa Always MM Signature V/S T •f Hie Wonderful Carlos. The author of "Idyls of Spain” speaks of a notary whom he met, whose naive simplicity surely could not be exceeded. “He asked for our autographs, and I Inquired whether he was a collector of such trifles. ** ‘Yes, sir, ’he replied, ‘I am, and among others I have a most precious collection of anonymous ones. * “Beaming with delight, he produced a rare manuscript of the time of Fer dinand and Isabella, exquisitely writ ten, and with the initial letters beauti fully painted. “‘Senores,’ he cried with enthusi asm, ‘look at thia Isn’t it a beauty? I’m always collecting such thinga Then I have just purchased by letter the manuscript of the “Iliad,” written by Homer himself, his own handwriting. The pity of it is that the work is not written in Greek. ’ “At this Miguel came to the rescue, for Luis and I were almost hysterical with amusement “ ‘I say, ’ inquired Miguel, ‘what doc ument would your worship like most to have in your possession? “‘Why,’ answered the notary, ‘the telegram from Christopher Oolumbus announcing the discovery of the new world.’ ” BaiNBU Im Trpkots Ferer. After a long experience with typhoid patients, Dr. Ussery of St Louis main tains that the best food for them is the banana He explains by stating that in this disease the lining membrane of the small intestines becomes intensely in flamed and-efigorged, eventually begin ning to slough away in spots, leaving well defined ulcers, at which places the intestinal walls become dangerously thin. Now, a solid food, if taken into the ■stomach, is likeiy to produce perforation of the intestines, dire results naturally following, and, this being the case, ■olid foods or those containing a large amount of innutritions substances are to be avoided as dangerous. But toe banana, though it may be classed as a solid food, containing as it does some 95 per cent nutrition, does not possess sufficient waste to irritate the sore spots. Nearly the whole amount taken into the stomach is absorbed, giv ing the patient more strength than can be obtained from other food.—Ameri can Druggist. OAMTORXA. Aantts Make Friends- It is no use in making enemies, says an exchange, fcr life is Joo short io cherish malice and enmity. A man will surely be unhappy who makes enemies Make friends. It is easy to do when you set your heart on the task. Anybody whose friendship is worth having can be won by an up right and manly course of conduct. If you disagree with a man you can avoid the subject of dispute, and still remain friends. The man who culti vates a suspicious disposition and imagines that every fellow he meets is trying to undermine him or get the best of him is never happy. It strengthens some men to trust them- As long as you show them that you suspect them of evil intentions, the temptation to do wrong is almost ir resistible. But if you show that you have confidence in him bis own man hood comes to bis rescue and upholds him in tbe hour of temptation. It is s good idea to make a friend wherever you can. It is tbe pleasantest occu pation in life. Meet your feilowman with a smile and a cheerful word. Stretch out your hand to him and show him that you have an interest in his well being. It requires little effort and tbe results are beyond bu man calculation. A great many friends, gained by a single word or a gesture, prove a support and stay in the time of need.
