SOW WESTON OBEYED
Gen. Weston, commissary gen*
oral of subsistence, probably has more
friends than any other in the army.
There are few officers that do not like
Jack Weston, and do not call him
friends If they barely know him. A
story Is told of Weston when he was
before Santiago, with headquarters at
Siboney. A number of artists of first-
class weeklies became very fond of
him, and shortly after they landed
showed their appreciation by taking
a fine pair of white linen trousers be
longing to the colonel and decorating
them. These decorations consisted of
painted battleships, cock fights, race
horses, and kindred subjects. In color.
Those trousers were the most orna-
mental things seen in Siboney, not ex
cepting Gen. Miles in full dress. Wes
ton was game, and wore them after
they had received all'the decorations,
and stood the good-natured chaffing
which resulted from his appearance.
One day he went aboard a vessel
which had brought troops and sup
plies to Siboney. He was superin
tending the unloading of commissary
stores. This was quite a task in Itself.
While he stood upon the deck giving
orders and directing the men, a briga
dier general approached him.
"Is this Col. Weston?” asked the
general.
"It is,” replied Weston.
"Well,” said the general, "there are
thirty-five trunks belonging to the offi
cers of my command, some of my
horses, and a number of chests and
other things belonging to the soldiers,
and I wish you would unload them
right away.”
"Well, general,” replied the Jovial
Weston, "there Is no man in the world
that likes to accommodate another
man any better than I, but what you
require Is utterly impossible. I am
here getting off commissary stores,
and I can't attend to those matters
..of yours, however much I would like
to.”
& "But I order ydu to,” said the brig
adier general, who had been appoint
ed as a result of a fine pull, and
thought he had considerable author
ity.
"Oh, well,” said Col. Weston, "when
it comes down to that, I might as well
say 'fudge/ and let it go, for that Is
all your orders amount to.” And the
colonel turned and gave further di
rections to his men. The first thing
he knew he was slapped on the back
1)7 an officer in a naval uniform that
showed he was a captain.
"Give me your hand," said this offi
cer; "and Jack Weston, with all your
cock-fights and your ships and other
pictures, you are all right, and I want
you to come down and take breakfast
with me right now.”-
While still at breakfast the briga
dier genera! returned with a paper in
his hand and said to Weston as he
handed It to him.”
"Read that!”
"I have Just mislaid my glasses
somewhere, and it is Impossible for
me to read it,” said Col. Weston.
"Well,” responded the general, "this
is a written order for you to carry
out the instructions I gave you ver*
tally a few moments ago.”
"You may keep It, and let's talk
about something else, for it Is abso
lutely lmpossibe for me to do as you
wish.”
The general became very indignant
and said:
"I am going up to Gen. Shatters
headquarters, and I shall report your
conduct to him.”
"When you get there,” retorted
Weston, Jovially. "Just give him my
compliments, and say that his chief
commissary is doing first rate.”
This ended the conversation, and
Col. Weston never heard any more
of it—Washington Post
DI8RAELI REMEMBERED.
Waited Until Friend Won Seat in
Parliament Before Replying.
Disraeli, even if he jested about bis
foes, had a seriously good mtouory
for his friends. Whether or not they,
too, had their names written down and
put in a drawer, they had a wonderful
faculty for public reappearing. A score
of well-known cases could be quoted,
but one that la less conspicuous and
loss familiar will be new to many read
ers. - As « boy. Sir John Pope Hen-
nessy conceived & romantic admiration
for Disraeli, and wrote to tell him so
in a letter which ended, "I love you.”
No answer was vouchsafed; Disraeli
had an almost Inflexible rule of no
reply to unknown correspondents.
Years passed. Then Pope Hcnnessy
won an Irish seat. The first congratu
lations he got in London were Dis
raeli's, who, without further ado, In
vited him to dinner to meet other and
more famous members of parliament,
and who, later, gave him a colonial
governorship. The blind affection o(
the boy undoubtedly Influenced the
career of the man.—London Chronicle.
Japan’s Native Bathing Resort.
A lady traveling In Japan thus
writes of a native bathing resort:
"Our coolies trotted off gsyly with us
through a bamboo Jungle till wa ar
rived at the Garden of Eden.. It la
called Ubago In the guide books, but,
nevertheless, I am sure it was the
Garden of Eden. Anyway, the cos
tumes, If so they may be called, were
of that period. Our coolies damped
us down and refused to proceed In
spite of our embarrassed motion of
the hands to wave them on. For we
had reached one of the famous bath
villages, a sight supposed to be of
great Interest to the unsophisticated
globe-trotter. In this village the In
habitants spend most of their lives
bathing In the hot springs which
abound In the nelghborhod. All the
village receptions and afternoon tea
parties take place In the public bath,
and it wai to one of these tea parties
that we bashfully followed our guide.
He removed a sliding panel In the
wall of a certain house and disclosed
two large tanka of staamlng water,
filled with many bathers, who re
ceived us with much pleasure and
many smiles. Some of them were
placidly drinking tea and others were
smoking their pipes. Over that scent
f would have drawn a curtain, but
there was no curtain to draw.”

It is conceded by the highest authorities that the
soda cracker contains the life-giving elements of wheat
in the best proportions.
This being so, then Uneeds Biscuit must at
once take first place as the food of the world—a soda
cracker, but such a soda cracker! Made by exact
science in sunny bakeries so light, bright and clean, that
they are a revelation. The flour is tested; the purity
of the water is absolutely assured; the very air is
filtered,—why even the temperature and moisture of
the atmosphere is accurately regulated. The sponge
is kneaded by polished paddles, not by hand. Indeed,
Uneeds Biscuit are only touched once, and then
by a pretty-girl, from the time the flour leaves the bag
until the beautiful package is placed on your table.
You ask why all this work, all this care in the
making of a soda cracker? Because the soda cracker
is the best of all food and Unesda Biscuit is the
most wonderful of all soda crackers. And with all
of it the price is only 5? a package.

You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon de*
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain', and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
