the "Kolis," from. their, title Kings Own

color of their facingss got for its men the title
of the Pompadours, The Fifty-seventh are

Fifty eighth are the "B1ack Cuffs" and the
"Steel Backs" One of the most widely circu-
lated Of popular errors is that which links the
famous war-cry of Faugh- -ballagh" with the
Connaught Rangers" The cry belongs to the
Eighty seventh (Royal) irish Fusiliers, and it
was raised at Barossa in 1911, when Cough led
the regiment upon the Eighth French and cap
tured the only eagle taken by British infantry
regiment. The "eagle with wreath of laureP'
is borne on the colors of the Eightyseventh, a
distinction shared by the First Royal Dragons
and the Scots Greys. The Connaught Rangers,
however, have glory to spare. though the regl-
ment was only raised in 1893, and more than
any other corps it should be recalled by the
readers of Shells splendid eulogy of the
athletic arms that drove their bayonets at
Vimiera through the pbalanxes that never
reeled in the shock of war before-the desper-
ate valor that climbed the sleeps and filled the
moats of Badajos" Mention has been made of
the "Black Watch" An even more famous
Highland regiment is the Ninetythird, which
at Balaclava scorned to form square against the
Russian cavalry, but received its charge in line.
AT Waterloo, it may be remembered, the High
landers, when the Scots Greys came to their
aid, instead of opening their ranks to let the
horsemen through and reforming in the rear,
caught the stirrups of their mounted country
men and dashed forward with them IN the
Scotland forever!n charge.

Dr.. Samuel E. Woody, Of this city, has in his
possession curious old relic. 1t is a lancet OF
an antique make and shape which was for
merly the property of his great-great- grand
father, DR.. David Woody, who was the medical
attendant of General Nathaniel Greene during
the Revolutionary war The queer old surgi-
Cal instrument, half eaten up by rust has rare
history. 1t was first the property of an ances-
tral Woody, who was a companion of Sir Walter
Raleigh in the balmy days when he was the
reigning favorite Of Queen Elizabeth, and il
accompanied him on his voyages before the
settlement of Roanoke. Afterward it de-

David Woody used it throughout the stormy
revolutionary campaings, when the bloody
battles Of the Cowpens and Guilford Cour

On Monday last Mr. NJ Patrick started from

about o'clock in the morning on sn0wshOes.
As he was following the trail on the east sids
of the I" Hogsback," above Dixon Greek, the
snow broke under him and started TO slide.
Patrick lost his footing and went with it. Ths
hill is very steep and he went down with light
ming speed for about quarter of a mile, where
small fat caused the slide to break up and
stop. He was under the snow MOST of the way
down, occasionally catching glimpse of day.

Among the travellers on board the Western
North Carolina train recently were couple Of
guards taking a body of prisoners to Marion
from Old Fort. A colored woman was among
the prisoners. The train had encountered a
big rock that had rolled down on the track,
and which had to be blasted away, causing a
delay of five hours and the train after getting
under headway, was skipping along at forty
eight miles an hour TO make up for lost time.
The woman, taking advantage of a privilege
extended TO her, jumped out of a window, and
no one knew anything Of it until passenger,
who had been standing On the rear platform,
came rushing up TO the conductor with the in
formation that the train had run over q woman,
as he had seen her kicking on the track like a
chicken with its head pulled off. The train
was stopped and backed, but the woman had
gone.

KentHckian Who Never Drinks Water.
TFron, tbe GriHende,l Press

A gentleman of this town having recently
made a trip through Webster county, tells US
of a man he met who has never taken drink
of water, though now thirty-five years of age.
His name is Thomas Lawton, and he is kins-
man of Mr. w. G. Carnahan, of this place, and
Mr.. Carnahan vouches for the truth of the
statement that he never drank water. Mr..
Lawton says he has no desire whatever for the
purest beverage known to creation; neither
has he any inclination to partake of it in any
of the adulterated forms. He has had raging
fevers and shaking chils, but nothing in his
composition calls for a drink. He drinks milk
for its nourishing virtues and coffee as pre-
ventive for painters collie, for he is painter
by trade. He once drank some mineral water,
taking it as tonic, but the fluid was SO repug-
nant to his taste that he did not remain long at
the springs.

Leading Members

of the dramatic and musical professions testify
to the beautifyiag influence of S0Z0DONT

that the use of SOZOD0NT materially seconds
the natural charm Of q pleasing face. Let all
who wish to avert the disaster sure to oycrtake

cleanse them regularly with this agreeable

4 Story Of a stingy Mans stoop.

LFf0hh Ule HdrtT0fd C0uFufhI
On the road between Bridgeport and Trum-
bull is house which is minus a front stoop,
and the sill of the front door is several feet
above the ground. This lacking stoop has a
history. When the house was built, it had
stone steps which led up to the front door, A
few years ago man driving by the house, see
ing the steps, thought he would like to procure
some like them. He offered the owner of the
house fair price for them, which was accepted,
and the steps were carted away. The owner
of the house loves money, and it is said that
rather than go to the expense of putting up
another stoop, he has since used the back door
of his house exclusively.
