Friend Charles, ere my muse takes
wing,
By which all scrib'lsrs think and sing,
I'll try to rhyme bow you did bring
Old folks together,
And made them feel youths cheerful

In wintry weather.
The lame and feeble, worn with age,
The blousy, witty, sour and sage,
Came limping on with cautious gaze,
Clad 10 their best,
To form 9 link in friendships page
By your request.
A supper, good, you did prepare
OF ev'ry kind Of visnds rare,
That gOrmAnds would have praised the
Both roast and ssew'd,

It smelt so good!
All round, = smiling aspect wore
While witty puns and jokes, encore.
Kept all at table in . roar
No sigh or groan
Was heard. from painful ache or sore;
Mirth reign'd alone.
It was an aged, homeless fete ti
To see how toughen'd gums could est
The boil'd and roast, and chicken meat;
And chew the core
Ofspples, pickles. sour aud sweet
You had in store.
Violin and bass, that mirth sustairs,
And the piRno's milder strains
PlAy'd tunes, would cheer the dullest
brains
Or frozen heart;
While stifen'd feet beat loud refrains
In choicest part.
Your pictures, passing time beguil'd,
And photographs Of desert wild,
Cascades, and mountains skyward
piled,
Surprised tbs mass,
That eyes could see, 30 dim and riled,
Thro' opera glass.
Song after song, that saints revere,
Their nsrGships past, how happy here;

Serpents and wild beats from the Nile

And heard their roar.
Your magic lanterns fine display,
Where passing figures life portray,

That never fail

In short detail.

TROOPER GEORGE BROWNING.

The name Of Trooper George
Browning, mo 755," Second Life
Guards, British Army, deserves to be
held in honored conjunction with
that of Shaw, the celebrated Life
Guardsman whose deeds at Waterloo
have become historical. In some
quarters the Household Cavalry had
been condemned, and the term
" featherbed soldiers" has not alto
gether an unfamiliar sound. And
yet, no sooner were they called upon
in Egypt. than they proved to all
that they were made of the right
stuff.
1t was the attack on the camp at
Tel elMahuta, on the 25th of August,
that the services of the Household
Cavalry We're first called into requi-
siton during tht present campaign.
They had not long landed. and their
horses We're therefore scarcely in a
fit condition for work, vet they were
ready to begin the action there and
then upon their arrival
After the infantry had fled and be
ing pursued by the cavalry, party
of Egyptian cavalry, drawn mp in or
der, made show of charging down
upon the TANKS of the British caval-
ry. but troop of Life Guards
wheeled and faced them. and after a
moments hesitation they turned and
rode off.
During this charge the event oc-
cured which has brought the name of
Trooper Browning before the public.
1t is thus related by the correspond
ent OF the London Standard: "One
episode of the fight Was related to
Inc. As the Egyptian cavalry rode
oil, three Of the troopers fell from
their horses, and a Life Guardsman
dlsmounted to make them prisoners.
One Of them, however, showed fight.
and rushed at the Guardsman. A
sharp encounter took place. in which
the Egyptian wounded the English
man in the hand, whereupon the lat
ter, with sweeping blow, cut the

JEFFERS0N'S MASTER STROKE.

When Jefferson became President.
the acknowledged limits of the
United States extended no farther
west than the Mississippi, nor south
of thirty one degrees north latitude.
extending from the Mississippi River
east to Pearl River. All south and
west was claimed by Spain. In 1902
she conveyed this immense country.
more than million square miles of
territory, to France. Mr.. Jefferson at
once instructed our minister in Paris.
Robert Il. Livingston, to enter into
negotiation for its purchase He also
sent Mr.. Monroe as special minister
to aid him. Their mission was more
successful than was anticipated. They
made "a treaty Oh the Both OF April,
1903, by which that entire territory
was ceded to the United States for
S15,O00,000. The treaty was ratified
by the Senate in the following Octo-
Der. This acquisition more than
doubled the extent of our limits. No
other act of Jefferson's or any other
administration has been as useful and
valuable to the whole country, and
especially to the West. 1t added
greatly to Jefferson's administration.

Gray's Galyanic Girdle.

This Belt has stood trial, and been found
SUPERIOR to any offered. This is not idle as
sertion, but is fact easily proven. 1t is the
only girdle constructed on purely scientific
principles, and the only one through which
the electric current can be conducted so as
to affect the body in manner which will
give relief, and in most eases completely
cure: This following testimonial should
speak for itself. 1t is from member of
one of the largest mill contracting firms in
San Francisco, and therefore its genuine
ness cannot be questioned. Mr.. Patten is
of the firm of j. b. White Il Co., Mill Con-
tractors, $50 Pine street.

DR. GRAY-Dedr Sir: Having used your
Galvanic Girdle for ciatica in my hip, can
heartily recommend it for that class of dis

THE BRIGANDS OF MACEDONIA.

A writer in the CornhIU Magazine
ralates these Incidents: On ono DC
casion the chief of band succeeded
in captufing Il young Armenian
whom he suspected Of having given
information to the authorities as to
the whereabouts of his band; where
upon he sent message to his mother,
who lives in village near by, telling
her that if she wished to see her son
alive she must come at once to a Ger
tain spot. Fearing to disobey, the
poor woman hurried to- the place
named, where she met the brigand
chief. who Immediately said. Il have
sent for you to show you how l treat
traitors and drawing his yataghan,
he cut the wretched man into four
quarters before his mothers ewes,
adding, as he wiped the blood off his
weapon, Now, [ am going to the top
of that hill. Before sunset you will
tell all the inhabitants of your village
that they are to come out and see
what 1 have done; should you not
obey -and mind, l shall be watch
ing-I shall come and burn the whole
village OF course, there was no
choice but to carry out the orders,
and come and see the CHASTITY specta-
Gle. Another instance, of the effects
of which l was also a witness, was
that of villager in the town of Te-
ronda. who, when the villager was
attacked by brigands, gave up all of
his property but small silver cross
which he stoutly refused to part
with. Whereupon he was stripped.
rubbed over with petroleum oil, and
then match applied. 1t so hap
pened that this did not prove fatal.
but the state of agony of the poor
man some days afterward was some
thing piteous to see"

ON ENGAGEMENTS.
Both to those who look en- at
Cnpid's pretty play, and the still
more interested players, engagements
afford food for reflection, and give a
hint both of laughter and tears.
Never at any other time of his life ID
man such an overwhelmingly unself
i,i, tender. devoted and doting AMI
mai. He does us he is told with a
humility and a gentleness which are
sufficient to qualify him for an arch
angelship, and he will fetch aid car
~ with the docility of a dog For a
moment he abdicates his proper
place in creation. Being master, he
becomes Il slave with a beautiful self
abnegation. which, for her sake,
counts nothing too troublesome.
From winding cotton to sitting out
interminable conversations, or walk
ing interminable walks, your lover is
always ready to oblige-dear, inter
csting young man! And thus the
romance is run through to its usual
prosaic but very human termination.
Then ensue visits to furniture-stores,
house agents and a church; the I'M
adorned bachelor has secured the
proud possession of a real mother
in-law, and settles down to life in
earnest. The engagement with its
tender, little trifcs. is over, and mat
tcr-of fact married life begins. Here,
as rule, one half of the mistakes of
existence appear Unless a woman
is extra cross grained, mans en-
gagement ought to last as far into
married life as married life lasts
itself People who get all their
counting finished at the far side OF
the church door, generally find the
sea of matrimony rough sailing. This
is something due to the fact that en-
gagemcnts are imprudently long.
Lovers give and demand sunday
manners" and it is not natural for
either maidens or men to amble along
Loves highway for years, without
tired nature giving away and assert
ing itself. A year is quite long
enough for betrothal, and short
enough, too. for both parties to the
contract to carry with them, when
they move into their own house, some

that mystic condition known Us fall,

Mr.. WALTON IN ENGLAND.

The Yankee Plunger, as the Eng
lish papers call Mr. r. F. Walton, is
pursuing his last years policy Of
betting in large sums. He is not al
ways successful, rs may DO expected.
and at Sandown Park, on October
Goth, he lost f60O0 he had backed
Dunsinane for to win the Corinthian
Handicap. Part of that loss was re-
coycred by winning Il bet of E3OO0
to c20OO against Rocket for hunt
er's fat race. On the same after
noon he accepted f3000 to $500 about
Shrewsbury for the Cambridgeshire,
which he had to pay Concerning
his operations during tho second
October meeting the Sporting Times
says: 1--WE regret to state that the
operations of the Plunger at New
market last week have once more
led to donbt and suspicion. The
stable concerning whose horses he
has always been best informed is
VIGOROUSLY Bedford Lodge, and it
will be recollected that it was on nc
count of the running of one OF the
horses trained in that stable belong
ing to Sir John Ashley that the ia
nous alteration took place in tho
Bird Cage last Autumn. Things
seemed to have reached a climax last
week, when Plungor Walton won
$4,000 on Energy in the Great Chal-
lenge Stakes. The owner Of the
horse, it transpire~, won nothing, or
next to nothing, and when the fact
we have mentioned TRANSFERRED, mat
ters Were made unpleasant all round.
The common sense view to take of
the matter is that men do not back
horses to win $4,000 unless they
know something's and when that
horse wins and tho owner himself
has won nothing he may well be par
doned if he has his doubts as to the
honesty of some of those in his en-
ploy. Women are more suspicious
than men, and it is. We believe, no
secret that the Duchess of Montrose
spoke her mind very freely SO much
SO, in fact, that the appearance of
Alec Taylor i'll the town gave rise to
rumor that he was about to super
sede Sherrad and resume his position
of first trainer to Mr. Craufllrd. For
this rumor there are no grounds, as,
in the first place, Alec Taylor would
not leave Mantop. Notwithstanding
the force that Mr.. Craufrrd was in
last week, when he won .t3S,000. we
can state that tho relations existing
between employer and employed at
Bedford Lodge are anything but
happy"
