I*L« il v.lf fetfe hmlrlirKra I ^av8 recently.foeiHi made by The
Army and Navy Journal concern-
of‘flags at half mast and buildings
draped with somber bunting.
Up town'in 1 sparsely settled dis-
tric^tbere is a large, open lot over
grown with weeds, where work
horses, belonging to people in the
rep-
dur-
neighborhood are allowed' to feed
and roll on Sundays.
At one end of the lot, roughly
built out of old boards and stones,
is a little hovel inhabited by a fam
ily of poor people, the father ap
parently a tramp.
In front of this “cottage” a pole
about ten feet high was planted,
and on it fastened a long string
with many knots, apparently a col
lection of cords from the butcher or
grocer.
Half way up this improvised flag
pole hung a tiny .flag about 9 by 12
inches.
In that tiny flag the passerby, who
happened to glance at the hovel,
could read the truest patriotism and
personal love which came straight
from the loyal little >hearts of the
children who had placed it there.
Something to Know.
To remove ink stains from polish
ed wood put a few drops of sweet
spirits of niter in a teaspoonful of
water, touch the spots with a feath
er dipped in the mixture, and as
soon as the ink disappears rub it
over with a.rag wet in cold water,
or there will be a white mark left
not easily effaced. Then polish with
jjbeeswax and turpentine.

ing the various nationalities
resented in the union' army
ing the war between the states.
Out of an enrollment of 2,000,-
000 officers and men, it., appears
that one-fourth of this number
was foreign birth, distributed
among thq various nationalities
as follows: Germany, 175,000;
England,50,000; British America,
50,000; Ireland, 150,000, and oth
er countries, 75,000, making in all
500,000 foreigners enlisted on the
union side.
In view of this showing is it
any wonder that the result of the
war was inevitable? The marvel
of it all is that that the south
with only 600,000 men enlisted
during the entire service, succeed
ed in keeping such an army at bay
for four long years. To-day the
records of the government will
show that on the federal pension
rolls there are more union veter
ans enrolled than there were* sol
diers mustered in the Confederate
ranks, and still there are more
who want to get on.
This statement is made without
any. feeling of bitterness. We all
rejoice that the war is over and
that peace has come back again,
but since the south lost in the
struggle it is something of an unc
tion to the wounded pride of the
old.veterans who wore the gray to
know just how it was.
But The Army and Navy Jour
nal goes on to give some addition
al statistics which will probably
interest our readers and which
suggest no invidious comparison.
Forty-eight per cent, of the sol
diers in the union army were
farmers, 27 per cent were me
chanics, 16 percent were laborers,
5 per cent were professional men,
and 4 per cent were miscellane.ons.
There is just one thought which
occurs to us in this connection.
If 48 per cent of the soldiers who
composed the rank and file of .the
union army were farmers, it is
probable that the same figures
are approximately true of the con
federate army, and this being tak
en for granted, it follows that the
country is indebted to the ’’farm
ers in greater measure than most
of us have been inclihed to sup
pose and that besides being our
mainstay and support in time of
peace, they have also been our
protection in time of war. Let us
bear this fact in mind when we
are tempted to forget them.
Another interesting fact brought
out by this same authority is that
the average height of the union
soldier was 5 feet 8 inches. Un
fortunately we have no way of
getting at such statistics, in re
gard to the confederate army. We
never had time to take them.

Theresa a story of a farmer and
his son driving a loaci to market.
Of the team they were driving one
was a steady reliable old gray
mare,the other a fractious, balky-
black horse. On the way the wag
on was stalled and the black horse
sulked and refused to pull.
“What’ll we do father?” said the
younger man. “Well,” said the
father, “I guess we’ll have to lay
the gad oft the old gray.” .That
homely compliment to women:
“The gray mare’s the better
horse” suggests how often when
there’s an extra strain to be borne
it is laid on the woman’s back.
How often she breaks down at last
under the added weight of some
“last straw.” Women who are
dragging along wearily through
life can gain real strength by the
use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi
cal Discovery. It puts back in
concentrated form the strength
making material which® working
women use up more rapidly than
it can be restored by Nature in
the ordinary processes of nour
ishment and rest. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets are universal
favorites with women because they
are easy to take and thoroughly
effective in curing the consequen
ces of constipation.

A Big Help to the Farmer.
ASTHMA CURE FREE
.. Representc'itive Steed, of Taylor,
has succeeded in doing more for
the farmers of Georgia" by the
passage of his fertilizer tax bill
than any member of the present
legislature has yet accomplished,
says the Atlanta Journal. Mr.
Steed’s bill went through the
House by a vote of 109 to 0, and
this splendid victory for the far
mers was due to the able manner
in which the bill was presented
and managed by the gentleman
from Taylor.
Under a recent ruling of the
courts fertilizers were held to be
merchandise and,-therefore, taxa
ble under the laws of Georgia.
The manufacturers having sold
the fertilizers to the farmers were
thus enabled to escape ‘the pay
ment of taxes on their goods,
while the farmers were made to
pay it as soon as it came into
their possession.
The v manifest injustice of this
and the hardship thereby forced
upon the farmers of the state at
once appealed to Representative
Steed, and he promptly framed a
hill to meet the situation. His
bill provides that fertilizer used
or to be used for agricultural pur
poses shall not'be returned for
taxation where the land on which
such fertilizer is to be used has
already been returned for taxes,
thus entireh 7 relieving the farmer
of a very onerous burden.—Ex.

There is nothing like Asthmalene.
It brings instant relief, even in the
worst cases. It cures when all else
fails.
A Bad Precedent.
Commenting on the refusal of
Gov. Durbin, of Indiana, to honor
the requisition of Gov. Beckham,
of Kentucky, for the return to the
state of W. S. Taylor, The Com
moner, Mr. Bryan’s paper, says:
“If a republican cannot be tried
in a democratic state, will the re
publicans insist that a democrat
could have a fair trial in a repub
lican state? If the reasons pre
sented by Governor Dubin are
sound, then it is perfectly safe for
a republican to kill any democrat
ic executive and flee to a republi
can state, and if democratic gov
ernors act on the same principle,
it is safe for a democrat, to kill a
republican official and then flee
to a democratic- state . In other
words, the position taken by Gov
ernor Durbin, if accepted as s
precedent, invites a reign of law
lessness, and ought to .alarm the
friends of law and order, regard
less of political affiliations.”
The Rev. O. F; WELLS, of Villa Ridge,
111., says: “Your trial bottle of Asthmalene
received in good condition. I cannot tell
you how thankful I feel for the good de
rived from it. I was a slave, chained with
putrid sore throat and Asthma for ten
years. I despaired of ever being cured. I
saw your advertisement for the cure of this
dreadful and tormenting disease, Asthma’
and thought you had overspoken- your
selves, but resolved to give it a trial. To
my astonishment, the trial acted like a
charm. Send me a full size bottle.”

Gentlemen: I write this testimony from a sense of duty, having tested the
wonderful effect of your Asthmalene, for the cure of Asthma. My wife has been
afflicted with spasmodic asthma for the past 12 years. Having exhausted my own
skill as well as many others, I chanced to see your, sign upon your windows on
180th street, New York, I at once obtained a bottle of Asthmalene. My wife com
menced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed a radical im
provement'. After using one bottle her asthma has disappeared and she is entirely
free from all symptoms. I fee! that I can consistently recommend the medicine to
all who are afflicted.with this distressing disease. Yours respectfully,
. O. D. Phelps, M. D.

was unable to work. I am now in the best of ^eal h and am doing business every

The Kansas City Journal tells
of a physician in Russell, Kan.,
who complained to the editor of
the local paper that the doctor’s
name was not mentioned in the
announcement of births. “I’ll in
sert it hereafter on one condi
tion,” replied the editor. “What’s
that?’ ’ asked the physician. “That
I shall also mention your name in
connection with the deaths.” The
physician thought the matter over
and concluded that he didn’t care
to have his name printed in con
nection with births, anyway.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register

give him employment in their or

but they bar out the negro, not
only from the table but from any
sort of association with them.”
