(By A Veteran.) Washington.—The report that Pri vate Parks was temporarily insane from a poisoned cigarette given him by a Mexican girl when he rode straight into the Mexican lines on the hack of orie blooded horse and leading another, is highly creditable to those KIND LADY HELPS SICK OLD SOLDIER Could Not Walk a Step. Both Make Statement Regarding Trouble, and Place Credit Where Due. Blackwells, Ga. —“Last year, an old soldier living in my neighborhood," says Mrs. Hattie Armstrong, of this place, “was so strickened with his back, that he could not walk a step. He got no relief from medicines he was taking, and I recommended Thed ford’s Black-Draught to him. He got two 25c packages, and by the time he had used them, he was entirely well. I have been using Black-Draught for 10 years in my family, and am never without it in the house. I have six children and I give them Black- Draught for colds, and it cures them. I suffered with consttipation for a long time, and I could get nothing to do H JIM Mlßk ■i.jjin i/ iWiiKSHB PB!|rl®w Electric Irons Free Wire your house this summer and secure 6-lb.

The Mexican women have often given this poison to their lovers out of jealousy. This herb is neen, or toloachi, and the plants spread in many slightly dif ferent species almost all over the earth. It is our Jimson weed. The me the good that Black-Draught does. It is all that keeps me on foot.” Mr. S. M. Watkins, the old soldier referred to above, says: "I was down with my back last summer, and couldn’t get anything to relieve me. On a friend’s advice, I took two pack ages of Tliedford’s Black-Draught and it did me more good than all other medicines put together.

Hindu women use it for the same purpose as their Mexican sisters, to cause their lovers to lose their minds. Hindu robbers mix it in candy and give it by some tricks to the inmates of a house. The eaters of the candy are thrown into a deep sleep, under cover of which the burglars loot. The Plant. Toloachi is a low-growing plant with white flowers and curious seed vessels projecting much like the horns of a steer. The seeds are pound ed and mixed in the tobacco of a cig arette. Usually melancholic idiocy and slumber are induced, but some times there is violent madness and even quick death, it has been used by Mexican men to kill a rival. Toloachi must not be confused with maringuana, of which Mexicans are so fond that they form clubs to smoke it. The Rio Grande border authorities are active in checking the use of mari guana for it often arouses ihe basest passions and leads to lust and blood shed. The Magnet. That there are other dangers than bullets in Mexico, Stonewall Jackson learned in the Mexican war, according to the account of Lieutenant Colonel Henderson. Jackson foil beneath the charm of a Mexican beauty. "Who the magnet was he never con fessed; but that he went near to losing his heart to some charming senorita he more than once acknowledged, and he took much trouble to appear to ad vantage in her eyes.. . . He not only learned to dance, an accomplish ment which must have taxed his per severance to the utmost, but he spent some months In learning Spanish; and it is significant that to the end of his life he retained a copious vocabu lary of those tinder diminitives which fall so gracefully from Spanish lips." “An Arm-Chair Soldier.” In the heat of bitter controversy William Wallace Wotherspoon. major general and head of ihe genral staff, has been called an “arm chair sol dier.” But this was a grave injustice to perhaps the most efficient man in the army. If Wotherspoon sits in an arm chair, there is a telephone at his elbow, two rows of push buttons on the desk before him, and a battalion of subordinates nearby who step mighty lively when W. W. W. speaks. The general staff is the brains of the army. It is the office organiza tion in time of peace and war for all the land fighting forces of the United States. Wotherspoon has always been the thinker, the director. For this rea son ills nomination as major general was vigorously opposed two years ago. But it was due to Wotherspoon in large measure that the genral staff was re-organized. Before Major Gen eral Leonard Wood, backed by Woth erspoon, put up their great fight, all correspondence of the general staff had to go through the adjutant gene ral’s department. This purely cleri cal department saddled a kind of veto upon the general staff. If it didn't like the general staff’s orders they didn’t go through. Imagine such a hit of red tape about the department of war l Tender Age. But if Wotherspoon has not had so much field experience as some Briga dier Generals he at least can say he served Uncle Sam at a tenderer age. He enlisted in the navy as a boy <ic spite parental opposition—his family is one of prominence in the District of Columbia. A naval officer told him one day he had made a mistake— he could never become a general or an admiral by entering the service that wav. Wotherspoon, fired with warlike spirit, pondered this and finally saw the light. He must go to West Point or Annapolis. The naval officer se cured an appointment at the Army Academy for tlie energetic young sail or, and in 1873 the "three W’s” gradu ated. Only Charge. The only charge that could be brought against him by Senator Bris tow when opposing his elevation over Funstcn, Bliss and Pershing was that i he had depended upon personal popu larity rather than actual fighting for 1 his rank. But Bristow was forced to admit him a splendid administrator. ; He had been a member of the general ! staff since its creation. He was for a time War College head. In the | War College officers are trained in strategy. Wotherspoon is regarded as a high authority on infantry tactics. He is a man of great force and intel lect. He must retire in November of this year by the operation of the age'limit law despite he is in the most en viable health and positively blooming. If there’s a scrap on- along the Kio Grande, however, It’s a good guess his fine old clockwork brain will stay right where It is. Always Lead to Better Health.
