Do not think for a single
moment that consumption will
ever strike you a sudden blow.
It does not cone that way.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think ,it is a little
cold; nothing hut a little hack

weight; then a harder cough;
then the fever and the night

The suddenness comes when
you have a hemorrhage.

it is yet creeping.

Mother mill Sou.
There was once a hoy in college,
amt he was about to graduate. He
wrote back to the farm to his mother
to come. She replied she could not
do so. She said her clothes were
worn, and she had no money to buy
new' ones for the occasion. She had
already turned the skirt once, and it
was ragged on both sides.
The boy asked her to come any
way. The old lady went, dressed in
her best, which was not stylish. The
commencement was in a fashionable
church. The son was prouder of his
mother than of all his honors. He
walked with her down the aisle to the
center of the church and saw her into
one of the best seats. There were
tears in her eyes and she burst out
weeping when her son came out and
delivered the valedictory. The presi
dent pinned a badge on his coat.
The young man left the stage and
went directly to his mother. He took
oft the badge and pinned it to her
dress. There were tear* in his eyes,
and then lie bent over and kissed the
wrinkled cheek.--Dwight L. Moody.

to getrid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease >s in the blood, and all the

effect whatever upon it. Swift’s Spe
eifieeures Catarrh permanent ly, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

THE NE.6RO AS A SOLDIER-
Now that most of the negro sol
diers have been mustered out of ser
vice, the last of them in Macon hav
ing departed night before last, an
opinion upon the experiment may be
: reached.
The Telegraph has not discussed
this question directly, preferring to
wait until all the evidence was in—
! until their trial had come to an end.
It may be stated at the outset that
the negro has not disappointed those
who know him and understand him.
Whether in the garb of a hod carrier
or a soldier the instincts are the same,
and those instincts are apt to lead
the mass o( ignorant negroes to law
lessness and defiance of the simplest
rules of society. A soldier is the
highest form of police, lie is the
armed exponent of the nation's will.
He fights for the sake of peace. He
battles for law and order. The gun
in his hand is the ultimate power
oltlie law. The flash of the pow
der end the whizz of the bullet is
the last resort to enforce the
law's demand. Mistakes of civil offi
cers can be undone without serious
consequences, for the most part,. but
blunders of soldiers can be and often
■ire far reaching in their effects and
irrevocable. Three inconsiderate Fil
ippinos precipitated the fighting at
Manila.
Is it wise, then, to put guns in the
hands of ignorant, lawless men ? The
proposition was absurd and illogical
from the first. If the government had
| consulted those who understood the
| average negro best it would never
have made the mistake.
But it is urged by those who would
defend the act of enlisting these peo
■ pie that certain negro regulars fought
j bravely at El Caney, under the lead
lof brave white officers. This may be
granted. Indians have been daring.
Zulus fi 6 ht desperately. The Her
j vishes under the lead of the Mahdi in
the Soudan charged in the very can
non’s mouth to be mowed down as
grass. But would these people make
desirable soldiers under a civilized
flag? Bravery on the day of battle
is a very necessary quality, but to
brutally and cowardly abuse the pow
er that the arms give on all other
days utterly unfits one for the duty of
upholding the emblem of a nation's
sovereign power and authority.
Power is abused and the insignia
of authority are sullied—the uniform
soiled
The riotous conduct of the dis
charged negro soldiers leaving Ma
con, Chattanooga and other places
was expected by all those who have
been familiar with negro excursions
in the South. When they are huddled
together in cars they usually fight
like wild animals among themselves,
and it is a great pastime to fire their
pistols out of the windows into space,
regardless of the possible fatal results
to luckless men, women and children
by the road side. The conduct of the
Seventh, Eighth aud Tenth immunes
in this respect was but a repetition of
the capers of many a negro excursion
party in Georgia and in the South.
An individual with such a nature is
the best citizen when he is least
armed.
It is very clear, therefore, that the
negro is a failure as a soldier; worse
than that, when armed and equipped
as a preserver of the peace he is re
ally a disturber of the peace and a
menace to society. The country has
had enough of the experiment, and
we have reason to hope and believe
that the government at Washington
will not care to try it further.—Ma

Me and Maria.
An elderly man stepped into a big
hotel the other day, accompanied by
his wife, and asked for a room, says
the Syracuse Standard. When the
§
pclite clerk gave him a pen and
placed the register before him, he
looked visibly embarrassed, but he
took the pen and bent over the book
as though he had nerved himself to
some desperate task. He started to
write, and then stopped and began to
think. The clerk, of course, didn't
know what the trouble was or else he
would have volunteered his services.
After a painful pause the ruralist
started in to scratching some more.
After the expiration of fully five min
utes the farmer threw down his pen
with a sigh of relief, wiped the per
spiration from his brow, and rejoined
his better half, who had been waiting
in the lobby during the ordeal. The
clerk was curious to see a signature
that required such an unusual length
of time to execute. The clerk is a
solemn man, but be nearly went oii
into a fit when he saw, in big, round
script, this legend:
“Me anti Maria."

Slory Behind an Appointment.

There is an interesting story be

! who brought a suit for damages
against the ex-president. A man by
the name of Love was her lawyer.
He got judgment, which President
Hayes refused to pay. Love waited
for an opportunity to coliect the
judgment, which came when Miss
Fannie Hayes was married to Lieut.
I Wilson of the navy. He created a
sensation by descending upon the
Hayes mansion during the ceremony
with a constable and seizing the wed
ding presents. There was intense
indignation among the friends of the
Hayes family and the respectable j
people of the neighborhood. Presi-1
dent McKinley happened to be a j
guest, witnessing the entire proceed
ings, and his present to the bride was
seized with the rest. A few weeks
ago this same Mr. Love came up as
a candidate for the postoffice at Find
lay, strongly recommended by Sena
tor Hanna, the members of congress
and other Republican politicians, but
when the president learned through
a member of the Hayes family of his
identity somebody else was immedi
ately appointed.

have a pinched look. Secure good

Sick Headache
from Bad Stomach.
One day in the summer of 1895, Charles I.
Vogel was Sitting on the front steps of his
home at No. 1513 Lorain Street, on the West
side, Cleveland, Ohio, the picture of misery.
He had spent a sleepless night. For six
months Charles Vogel had been ft sufferer
from headaches of the most severe ami ex
cruciating character.
While he was preoccupied in this dis
heartening meditation, someone with a pouch
strapped to his shoulder placed a pamphlet
in his hand. Mechanically Mr. Vogel began
taming the pages of the booklet. Suddenly,
however, his indifference was changed to
interest, and soon lie was reading a few of
the testimonials ofpeonle who had found in
l)r. Williams’ I’ink Pills ft cure for ills of
various kinds.
“Then I began to see if somebody had
us :d them for the same trouble from which
T was suffering.” he went on to say “and [
found what I was looking fir. The stories
seemed straightforward and full of sincerity
1 had never heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills before but I determined to buy a box
of them, and went to the drug store atid
madea purchase. It was the best investment
I ever made.
“The first pill did not cure me, nor did the
second ; but 1 hid not been taking them for
a wpek before I began to feel better. I con
tinued to have the headaches which broke
my sleep au I rest, but they were less violent;
and less frequent. At the end of two weeks
I was so much improved that I could not
hin. admit to myself that the little pills were
wonderful. Gradually the pain in my head
lessened, and at the end of a month it nearly
disappeared.
“After taking the pills for a month I was
cured. That was a year ago, and I have not
suffered since.

Life is not entirely made up of
great evils or heavy trials: but the
perpetual recurrence of petty evils
or heavy trials in the ordinary and
appointed exercise of the Christian
graces. To bear with the failings of
those about us—with their infirmities,
\
bad judgment, their ill breeding, their
perverse tempers; to endure neclect
when we feel we deserve attention,
and ingratitude when we expect
thanks; to bear with the company of
disagreeable people whom Providence
has placed in our way and whom he
has provided on purpose for the trial
of our virtue—these are the best ex
ercises of oatience and self denial
and the better because not chosen by
ourselves.
To bear with vexation in business,
with disappointments in our expecta
tions, with interruptions of our retire
ment, with folly, intrusion, disturb
once—in short, with whatever oppos
es our will or contradicts our humor
—this habitual acquiescence appears
to be more of the essence of self de
nial than arjy little rigors or afflictions
of our own imposing. These con

properly improved, furnish a good

“In all questions of manners a
y oung man should always remember
that while politeness is a good trait
to acquire, courtesy is infinitely bet
ter, writes Edward Bok in the Ladies’
Home Journal.
“Politeness is manners but courte
sy is heart. Mingling in good society
can give us veneer which the world
calls a polish of manners and true po
liteness is not to be made little of nor
scofted at. Politeness is a fine art,
but is an art pure and simple, even
at its best. Infinitely better is the
cultivation of that courtesy of
refinement which enters into
the feelings of others and holds
them sacred. What we want our
young men to have is courtesy of
manner, not regulated by social code
or professional censor. It is idle to
say that courtesy is a relic of old
fashioned days and is no longer
looked tor. It is as much the current
coin of good society as it ever was.
More than any other element or
grace in our lives, it is instantly telt
and recognized, and has an unfailing
influence. It calls for respect as noth
ing else does. Courtesy of manner
and courtesy of speech are the gifts
a young man should cultivate.”
