In order to be any service to

A Texas Rough Rider made
an honest confession in New
ork the other day. He says
that being a natural born gam
bler, and having confidence in
his abilities in that line, he
joined Roosevelt's regiment in
the hope of “getting a whack”
at some of the * ‘howlin’ swells
of New York,’” who had joined
the troopers. “Did you gei you’
whach?” he was asked. “ Yep.”
I ••How did it pan out? ’ “'Well,’
replied the Texan, “I’m busted,
and guess I’ll have to walk
home.”

Now that this is all over,
women war correspondents who
were in the campaign of Santia
go are beginning to be heard
from for the first time. Miss
Anna Northend Benjamin, a
Southern girl, is the latest of
these, and she is going to lecture
about her experiences to various
women’s clubs throughout the
New England and Middle States.
She was actively in the cam
paign, and to judge from the
difficulties she surmounted in
getting to the front her silence
while there—or, at least, her
anonymity—was due to a fear
that she might be sent away.
One of the innumerable spe
cial dispatches now coming from
Manila is to the effect that
Agumaldo is only holding out
to be bought. It is not credible,
however, that he is looking to
the Americans for a purchaser,
as he knows then pretty well
by this time and realizes that
they are too shrewd to buy any
thing that will not stay bought.
He ought to suggest a lease,
with quarterly payment.
Ras Makonnen, who com
manded the Abyssinian army
that thrashed the existence out
of the Italian army severa’
months ago, is with Captain
Marchand at Fashoda. If Sir
Herbert Kitchener concludes to
mix matters with the Frenchman
Ras will find nothing noodish or
macaronish about the Britisher.
He will certainly find before the
daggoes that he is not monkey
ing with an organ crank.
If the London Diily Mail is
correct in its announcement that
the Rothschilds will loan Spain
four or fiv million pounds on
the security of the Almaden
quicksilver minov soon as
peace is concluded, the rumored
determination of Weyler and
many others like him who ha u e
fastened at the public crib, to
leave their native land and live
elsewhere, will probably be re
considered.
The improvidence of the aver
age American beggar is shown
by the fact that when Tori, a
well known Italian professional
mendicant, died last year there
were found hidden away in his
rooms bank books, securities and
gold and silver amounting col
lectively to the value of upwards
of 2,000,000 francs, or $400,000.

Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief con
( suiting physician to the In

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is
acknowledged as the most wonderful med
icine ever devised for those diseases which
are caused by imperfect action of the liver
and digestive organs.
Mr. F. M Robinett of Xenophon, Haneock
Co . Tenn . says in a letter to Dr Pierce: “ I can
heartily recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovers' for indigestion and torpid liver. I
tried different doctors with but little result I
could scarcely eat anything—it would put me in
such dreadful distress in my stomach. I had a
dull aching pain in my stomach, and continual
hurting tadmui my shoulders, bad taste in my
mouth, tongue coaled brown, had faint spells
with a tired worn-out feeling I took eleven
bottles of * Golden Medical Discovery ' and re
ceived great benefit. lam now able to work. If
it had not been for this wonderful remedy I be-
Jieve I would not be living today.”
The most difficult diseases to cure are
those which are aggravated by constipation.
In such cases Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
should be taken in conjunction with the

Gov. Pingree has been nomi
nated on a platform which in
dorses Alger’s administration of
the War Department as being
efficient and without guile.
“Ping” will have to repudiate
that bug, or it will destroy his
political potato patch before the
campaign is over.
After all the glorification the
English have been heaping up
on Sir Herbert Kitchener for his
wonderful military achieve
ments it turns out that he was
born and bread in Ireland. The
Irish played that same trick on
the English about Gen. Wolse
ley and the Duke of Wellington.

Giovanni Segantini, the fa
mous Italian painter, whose “At
the Barrier” created such a stir
and sold for $20,000, began life
as a swine herder. At the age of
7 he set out to walk to France,
but was persuaded by some peas
ants he met to go with them.
He tended their swine till he
was 15 years old, when he work
ed hie way to Milan. He studied
at night and worked by day.
Now he is at the head of the
modern painters of Italy, if not
of the world.

BELOVED IN BOTH SEC
TIONS
“Winnie” Davis was beloved
of all southerners, as a woman
peculiarly representing their
region, its civilization and its
culture. But she was not less
beloved by all those who had
the privilege of knowing her at
the north, where her name had
come to represent the restoration
the good will, the truly, national
feeling which in this new war
of ours has found so fitttng an
expression in the fighting of
southerner and northerner side
by side—in the heroic touching
of elbows between men born
under the palmetto and men
born under the j ins.—New York
