All were so pleased and happy that good fortune had enabled us to escape the perils which threatened, as well as the danger of an ice block’in the river, tfyftt the men proposed a celebration of their good fortune. They were going up town, but I told them it w&8 not right to leave mo alone the first night in a strange place and that if they would remain in camp I would pav for enough for them to drink and have their celebration in their tents. To this they agreed, and one of them went to the town and shortly returned, stating that whisky, Canadian case goods, was $10 a quart. I sent him back and purchased a couple of bottles, which the men drank without becoming boisterous. I then went to my war sack, and, taking out my guitar, which I had carried over tho sum mit, we sat on the ground around tho little tent stove and all joined in singing the songs of home.—Emma L. Kelly in Lippineott’s Magazine. Got a Big Pearl With His Oysters. , Morgan H. Morgan, file clerk in thv office of the clerk of the circuit court, in company with several friends, lunched in a restaurant at Clark and Randolph streets, and, among other thingB, the entire par ty partook of fried oysters. Mor gan picked out a large, juicy one and was beginning to eat it with a relish when his teeth grated on a hard substance. He removed tho object from his mouth and was about to toll the waiter that ho had not ordered the oysters to be seasoned with gravel when his attention was attracted by tho reflection of the light upon the object ho had thrown on tho ta ble. Investigation showed that it was a pearl of good size. Morgan put the pearl in his pock et and after leaving tho restaurant, went to the offico of a lapidary in the Champlain building, where he was offered $14 for tho gem. He took the money. — Chicago Inter Ocean. Sixty Dollar Overcoats For 8oldlers. Just at present a buffalo overcoat is a very scarce article, and yet the humblest of Uncle Sam’s soldier boys may have one of these highly prized garments for the asking. All ho has to do is to include tho item in his requisition for supplies, and the coat will be issued to him, al though it will still belong to tho government, and if he loses or de stroys it he must pay $60 for liis carelessness. The coats in the possession of the war department are relics of the days when no man living in the northwest was thought to be prop erly equipped without a buffalo coat.

An insurance officer who claims ta be the only man in his business who ever talked business to J. Pier- S ont Morgan remarked the other ay: “I could more easily see the hundred hardest men in San Fran cisco than do it again. Never mind h<Jw I did it. I walked in on Mor gan at the office one day and stated my business. “ ‘How did you get in here ? said he* “ ‘I walked in/ said I. “ ‘Well, walk out/ said he. “I did.” Saved His Life. “I wish to say that I feel I owe my life to Kodol D3 r spepsia Cure,” writes H.

Holtzclaw’s Drugstore/ Subs^ribe for TH a Home Journal, CONDENSED STORIES. He Preferred a Bqttle of “Whuskey” to. "Shampeen.” When Sir Evelyn Wood had his famous irregulars out once after the hostile natives in Cape Colony, he found himself in a curious fix, says London M. A. P. He was on one side of a ravine with his small force. The enemy occupied the other side in thousands, keeping well in bush cover. To go straight across at them might mean another Isandula, and Sir Evelyn was too cute to be caught in a trap of that sort. Sir Evelyn pondered the position for a time and then called for one of the best bushmen among the ir regulars. The Scotchman who re lated tho incident was selected, and the general asked him if he could contrive to draw tho enemy from cover. The end was that the hardy irregular rode away round out of sight under a kloof and came on up the ravine as if he were not aware of the presence of cither party. Dis mounting, he started to make a fire, as if about to camp. Soon the Zu lus came rushing down the slopes after him in great masses, and the next moment shrapnel shells from Wood’s camp were playing among them. A large number were killed, and tho rest cleared off for good, much alarmed by the sharp lesson. ‘‘I galloped back under the shells,” said the Scotchman in recalling the incident, “an’ when I got in the general came up an’ shook hands wi’ mo. He gied me a bottle o’ shampeen, too, an’, fwhat was bet ter, ho changed it when I askit him for a bottle of whuskey!” A Modest Request. General Alger in his book, recent ly published, tells of a unique re quest that came to the war depart ment from a young lady in Boston during tho Spanish-American war. He says: “Her note paper, handwrit ing and rhetoric vouched at least for the culture of the writer. Her request was simple and plainly worded. With much unfeigned ear nestness she stated her case. The press dispatches had announced that the volunteer regiment of which her brother was a member was to leave for Cuba on a fixed date. But the brother’s birthday occurred two days after the date assigned for his embarkation. A ■birthday box of cake, jellies, pies, etc., she said, had been forwarded to him and would not be received if the regiment left on the date an nounced. She naively asked that the regiment be detained until the sweetmeats arrived, as she was sure it would make no difference to the government, whereas it would be ‘oh, such a disappointment for mv brother V ” “Quick lunch” is one of the commonest of city signs. The sign does’t say “a healthy lunch of good food”—the character of the food apparently is not consid ered. It’s just a quick lunch,— eat and get away. Is it any won der that the stomach breaks down? Food is thrown at it, slop py, indigestible and ^nutritious food, very often, and the stomach has todo the best it can. Nor mally there should be no need for medical assistance for the stom ach. But the average method of life is abnormal and while this continues there will always be a demand for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the one medicine which can be relied on to cure diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It is not a cure-all. It is a medicine designed for the stomach, and to cure through the stomach remote diseases which have their cause in the derange ment of the stomach and digest ive and nutritive system. It cures when all else fails. According to Sir Rabert Grif fin, the well ICuown English sta tistician, the increase of the Uni ted States in population during the century just ended has been greater than that of any other country in the world.

WERN1AN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: ' Baltimore, Md., March 30, iqor Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num. her of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat- ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.
