Nad Story of a Hattie Field.
Just below the stone fort at Caney,
sitting in the middle of a pineapple
field, I came upon a pitiful sight—a
soldier sitting on the ground, holding
in his lap the head of a poor fellow
who was literally shot to pieces.
One bullet had gone through his|head,
another through his lungs and chest,
tearing a horrible hole, from which
the blood poured at every breath.
He was almost dead, and every breath
sounded like the noise made by
pouring liquid from a bottle, and his
comrade kept the flies from his face,
that was clotted with blood and dirt,
and waited. Occasionally, when the
poor fellow would groan a bit louder
than usual, the friend would change
t£e dying man’s position, but he held
him as still as he could.
“Don’t suppose there's a surgeon
about?” he inquired, as I stopped.
I told him there was not now, but
would be later.
“Well,” he remarked, quietly,
“don’t suppose they could help him.
He’s ‘bout gone, I reckon.”
The breathing became weaker and
the gurgling fainter and fainter as the
grayish pallor began to show through
the sweat and dirt and blood, and
finally, without a tremor, breathing
ceased. The soldier held his burden
a moment until he saw the end had
come, and then laid his handkerchief
over the ghastly face and gently let
the head down to the ground, and
slowly got up.
“Know him?” I asked.
“My brother,” he camly said. And
then he filled his lungs with one long
deep sigh and gazed off to the hills
for a moment with a far away,
thoughtful look, and 1 could see that
he was looking straight into some
home and wondering what mother
would think.

Worry.
“Worry destroys not only the hu
man intellectual apparatus, but the
physical structure, and like an assas
sin in the night, strikes down its vic
tim, who may, or may not, have been
forewarned.” Here Dr. Jacobs grows
absorbed in the subject of the inter
j view, so let hirn tell the wonderful
facts.
“Not only is it known,"resumes the
great neurologist, counting oft his
words, as it were, on his finger tips,
“that worry kills, but the most minute
details of its murderous methods ,are
familiar to modern scientists. Nor
are the methods of the insiduous toe
too complex for the comprehension of
the layman. It is a common belief
of those who have made a special
study of the science of brain diseases
that hundreds of deaths attiibuted to
other causes each year are due simply
to worry.
“In plain, untechnical language,
worry works its irreparable injury
through certain cells of the brain, and
that delicate mechanism being the
nutritive center ot the body, the other
organs become gradually affected.
Thus some disease of these organs or
a combination of organic maladies
arising, death finally ensues.
“It is in this way worry stuffs out
human life. The insiduous inroads
upon the system if th s quitt destroy
er can be best likened to the constant
falling of a drop of water in one spot
—the incessant drip that finally wears
away the rock. In the brain it is the
insistent, never-lost idea, the single
constant thought, centered upon one
subject, which in the course ot time
destroys the brain cells that are the
engineers and pilots, so to speak, of
the human craft, and from which the
powers of mentality, action and health
are directed unerringly.
“Worry in the form of irritation at
certain points produces little or no
injury if infrequent, but continued
without cessation brings with it phys
ical dissolution, just as surely as the
bullet sped from a gun to a vital part.
The healthy brain can cope with oc
casional worry; it is the iteration and
reiteration of a disquieting thought
which the cells of the brain cannot
successfully combat.”

I have used Dr. Tichenor’s Anti
septic for bruises and cuts and cheer

AH Signs Failed.
‘■l have lost all faith in signs.” said
Dodson, as someone brought up the
subject of superstition. “I have al
ways been more or less superstitious
ami a believer in signs; but I had
such a setback the other day that I
have lost all faith in their potency.
“Perhaps you will remember that
there was a horse called Blackmail
entered in the races held some time
ago?
“I like to make a modest bet now
and then on the races, and I had giv
en some thought to the particular
race that this Blackball was entered
in.
“While I was deeply pondering
over the merits of the different horses
entered in the race, Brown came up,
and slapping me on the back, wanted
to know if 1 had heard that Smith
had been blackballed at the club.
“The name Blackball, came to me
like a flash. 1 hadn't the slightest
doubt it was a sign to back Blackball,
and the subsequent events seemed to
prove it.
“On my way home I saw a small
boy bounding a rubber ball. A little
further on 1 discovered a small dark
ey crying on the door-step—the black
bawl.
“Going down town that night 1
passed a house where some colored
people were holding a ball.
“That settled it, and 1 resolved to
back Blackball for all that I was
worth.
“How did I come out? Blackball
came in seventh. The only reason
ihe didn't come in eigthh was the fact
that there were only seven horses en
tered.
I felt so mad on my way home
that I passed under every ladder I
came to."—Detroit Free Press.
An American Killed by an American
Shell.
It’s a queer thing six,” said one of
these men to me, as he finished up a
meal with a gulp of coffee, “It’s a
queer thing, the luck of war. We
used to talk about that down in Cu-
La before the fighting began, figuring
out what a chance a man had of
getting killed. I'm a volunteer, sir;
you can see it by my hat. I’m in
the Thirty-third Michigan, a member
of the band. Well there was anoth
er chap in the band; he played the
\rombone, and he used to laugh and
say that the Spaniards couldn’t spoil
his business, any way, they might
shoot his legs off, or shoot his arms
off, or shoot all through his body, so
long as they didn’t kill him; ahd when
he came out of the war he’d be able
to go on playing the trombone just
the same. All he needed to do that
was his mouth.
“Well, sir, when we got into the
fighting a Mauser bullet came along
and struck Mr. Trombone Player
right in the mouth, and fixed him so
that now he can drink through
his nose, because there isn’t any di
vision between. And he’ll never
blow another note as long as he lives.
They never touched his legs nor his
arms nor anything else, but they
queered his mouth, and that’s what I
call tough luck.”
I know another case of hard luck,”
said a convalescent in the same group;
“that was a captain in the Sixteenth
Infantry; he was in Cos. E. I think
his name was McFarland. He went
up San Juan Hill, all right—never
got touched; and then, right at the
top, he was struck by a piece of
shrpanel from one of our own batter
ies that was shelling the hill. It was
the second artillery did it. I think
they were dropping shells into those
trenches in great shape, and the
Captain got a piece of one of them
—got it in the back, and it went right
through him.
“Go on! he called out. “Go on!
I’m done for; my own boys have
fixed me. One of the men in the
Sixteenth saw it all and told me
about it. If that Isn’t hard luck,
what it?”
Who is to Blame.
Kidney trouble has become so
prevalent that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born afflicted with
weak kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if
the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when it
should be able to control the passage,
and it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and
the first step should be toward the
treatment of these important organs.
This unpleasant trouble is due to a
diseased condition of the kidneys and
bladder and not to a habit as most
people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull ache in the back; if the water
passes in irregular quantities; or at
irregular intervals or has a bad odor;
if it stains the linen or vessel the col
or of rust; if the feet swell; if there
are puffy or dark circles under the
eyes; your kidneys are the cause and
need doctoring. Treatment of some
diseases may be delayed without dan
ger, but not so with kidney disease.

great kidney, liver and bladder reme
dy. promptly cures the most distress
ing cases. Its mild and extraordinary
effect is soon realized. Sold by drug

A Wife mid Hep Husband’* Ilustness.
“It is it cause of amazement to mo
that a man ton go on year in and year
out toiling for a family whoso members
show no interest in his work further
than to spend the money he makes and
who look upon him as the family mint, ”
writes Frances Evans in The Ladies’
Home Journal. “My firm belief is that
bad he in the first tinsh of married life
talked over his business and ambitions
with his wife she would have become
interested in both, first for his sake and
afterward for her own and thoir chil
dren's. Think of the gulf that lies be
tween a man and a woman united in
marriage when he never speaks at home
of the affairs which absorb his entire

Not only do the comfort and satis
faction of a good dinner depend
greatly upon the carver, but the sup
ply for the next day’s dinner also
depends upon it. No matter how well
the cook has done her part, if a joint
be mutilated and hacked to pieces,
it can neither be enjoyed at the time
nor can it appear at the other meal;
so that a good joint may be really
wasted for want of attention to this
seemingly unimportant item.
Meat should invariably be cut right
through to the bone, that the richer
juices which lie near the bone may
be fully enjoyed.
A leg of mutton should be sliced
thickly', not pressed heavily upon with
the knife, as the gravy runs very
quickly. It should be cut first in the
middle in even slices toward the
knuckle end, as this part is not so
nice to eat cold.
A sirloin of beef can be begun at
either end. The outside should be
sliced down right to the bone, while
the inside loin portion should be sliced
thin and lengthways.
A fowl should first have the wings
taken oft by slicing the breast and
dividing the joints with the point of a
knife. The legs should then be de
tached, next the merry thought from
the breastbone, and lastly the breast,
when a few slices have been taken
from it, by cutting through the tender
ribs.
A round ot beef cannot be sliced
too thinly. A filet of veal snould be
served in the same manner, but does
not require to be cut so thinly,
A ham should be commenced in
the middle and cut in thin slices.
Some carvers begin at the knuckle
end, this being considered the most
economical way of cutting it.
It is a good plan to have the gravy
served in a sauce boat if there is
much cutting to be done, as it is very
difficult to carve neatly without
splashes if the dish is full of liquid.
Why don’t you dress that wound

Pliroo thn U/nrct PqCDC disease where the blood is in any way involved.
uUIwO illu Wulol UfloGOi Everyone who has had experience with
blood diseases knows that there are no ail
ments or troubles so obstinate and difficult to cure. Very few remedies claim
to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as S. S. S. cures, and none can
offer such incontrovertible evidenceof merit. S S. S. is not merely a tonic —it
is a cure ! It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the
foundation of the very w'orst cases,androutsthepoison from the system. Itdoea
not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily,,
only to break forth again more violently than ever; S. S. S. forces out every
trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever.
Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., whites: “Some years
ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected
my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and J vpSHL
ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed
to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all
to no purpose. The mercury and potash which they ybf"\ Mr
gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful Hame which was W; ■ Jjfe
devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen
wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I im
proved from the start, as the medicine seemed to go direct MapT
to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out. Twenty _
bottles cured me completely.” Swift’s Specific—

Ancient Symbolism of the Glove.
In the history of dress the position of
the glove is unique. There was a time
when the glove was an emblem of con
fidence. Forming a part of the regal
habit, it became a badge of rank. In the
middle ages the ceremony of investiture
in conferring dignities or bestowing
lands was consummated by the giving
of a glove. Likewise, the deprivation
of gloves was a ceremony of degrada
tion.
Then, too. it was the custom to give
gloves in payment of rent, the glove?
being accepted as a guarantee of a re
tainer’s service, which was the chief
condition of tenure. On the Scotch
border the glove held a high place as a
gage. Hero a glove borne on the point
of a lar.ee proclaimed an act of perfidy.
Biting the glove was a sign of hostile
intent and the usual prelude to a
quarrel.
Throughout the history of dress they
are found symbolical of pledges, gages,
gifts or favors. Gloves also form part
of burial rites and were carried in fu
neral processions until the middle of the
eighteenth century. When a maiden
died, it was the custom to place in the
center of the garland which was borne
on her coffin a pair of white gloves—a
symbol of virginity and innocence.—
