PERSONS AND THINGS.

It lately came to light in the English Probate
Court that man named Pound had lived with two
wives for Is years. He divided his time between
them, and each thought when he was absent that
he was away on business. He was on the happiest
terms with both. He passed with one wife as Mr..
Jackson and bequeathed her money under that
name. 1t was agreed that the property ne acquired
under the name of Pound should go to wife Pound
and that under Jackson to wife Jackson. But for
his testamentary dispositions, the women would
probably have been in ignorance of the real state
of things to this hour.

Dear Sirs: 1t is nearly four years since I
first used Compound Oxygen. There are
those, doubtless, who would be glad to know
OF its effects in a case like mine.
For fifteen years had been carrying heavy
burdens and doing very hard work. / found
myself gradually losing the porer of endurance, so
that my w0rE left me much exhausted. could see
that my 'chOle nervous system giuing uay; that
there wGs manifest lack of UitaI force. This was
most apparent and most alarming tchen tCent to
my study. My mind was losing its grip. Sleep
'cas insufficient and unrefreshing
Under these circumstances / began the use
of Compound Oxygen. At first | saw no re-
suits. After time l observed my digestion
was much improved. More restful sleep fol-
lowed. At the end of three months found my
self able to preach Sunday morning. teach a Bible

mhen began IN the morning. My mind has nerer
Corked better than during these four gears, and in
no other time of my life could L do as much
work. or do it with as much ease.
This is my experience, and 1 have much rea-
son to be grateful for it. Sincerely,

The Warden Of the Kansas Penitentiary Replies
to COmrade Vaughn.

To THE EDITOR: saw in your valuable pa
per a few days ago communication from one
Job Vaughn, of Columbus, Kan, criticizing the
Warden of the Kansas State Penitentiary.
L should have paid no attention to his letter if
he had confined himself to the truth. 1 have
in my employ at this institution 7S officers 40
are old soldiers, and the balance were too young
to be sOldiers,-the most of them are, however,
sons of veterans. l have only three men en-
ployed not soldiers who were old enough to
join the army, and they have been in the en-
ploy of the State more than IL years as skilled
workmen, and are especially fitted for the posi-
tions they occupy. Some four years ago Col.
Hallowell and myself prevailed on Maj. Hop
kins late Warden of this institution, to give
Mr.. Vaughn position in the coal mine. He
did so, but Mr.. Vaughn only held his position
one month and was allowed to resign. | shall
not give the reasons, as do not wish to injure
any old veteran, even if he has habits that
would prevent him from holding position at
this institution.
Mr. Vaughn not only personally but by let
ter importuned me to discharge a comrade who
is the superintendent of the penitentiary coal
shaft, and is a thoroughly competent man, and
give him the position; and even offered to work
for less wages. l know Mr.. V. we'll, and knew
he was not qualified to fill the position if there
had been any reasons why the other gentleman
should have been removed; and l so informed
him, which accounts for his animus If had
discharged the comrade and given him posi-
tion my administration would have met with
his hearty approval. 1 certainly should not
have paid any attention to his communication,
but knowing that your paper reaches almost all
old soldiers, | cannot allow, in justice to my
SELF an imputation of that kind to go undenied.
l wasa soldier myself and have warm friendly
feeling for all old comrades. and during my en-
tire life since the war have endeavored to help
them whenever | could. And as to my discrim-
mating in my appointments at this institution
against old soldiers, Mr.. Vaughn knew that
was false when he wrote it. 1 have invariably
given them the preference, and shall continue
to do so. AS to refusing to appoint Mr.. V. to a
position, did refuse, and was perfectly iusti-
fable i'll doing so, as his neighbors who know
him best will testify.-JoHN N. SMITH, Warden,
Kansas State Penitentiary.

LAID Up FOR REPAIRS.

III all lie down in the fence corners an leave
! the road clear. I'll jest git up an dust!"
The sound of the bugles had scarcely died
away when the pike was deserted; and on
either side, as far as the eye could reach, the
PROSTATE men that covered the ground mingled
in long fringe of blue.
81 got up into the road and started along the
lane between these lines of recumbent soldiers.
His gait was little shaky, for the blisters on
his feet began to give evidence of renewed ac-
tivity. He trudged pluckily along, imping
some in spite of himself but on the whole
making very good headway.
Pretty soon he struck veteran regiment
from Illinois, the members of which were Sit
ting and lying around in all the picturesque
and indescribable postures which the old SOL
diers found gave them the greatest comfort dur
ing rest" Then the fun cOmmenced-that
is it was great sport for the Sucker boys.
though 81 did not readily appreciate the hu-
morous features of the scene.
"What regiment is this?" asked 81, timidly.
"Same old rijiment!" was the answer from
half dozen at once. A single glance told the
swarthy veterans that the fresh-lOOking youth
who asked this conundrum belonged to one of
the new regiments, and they Immediately
opened their batteries upon him:

The PrODer In0uiry.

The fact that women have to give their ages
when they are registered prevents many of
them from becoming voters Politicians who
wish to obtain their support should bear this
in mind and endeavor by some means or other
to prevent the question, How old are your"
being put, when one of the gentle and evasive
sex presents herself for registration. The pro-
per inquiry would be "Are you PIP" Few
would object to saying " yes to this. You can
not expect a woman to carry the record of her
birth under her arm for the inspection of the
multitude, especially if she is single one.

good many things that he thought he couldn't
spare but which he found later he could very
well get along without.
By noon the 20Oth began to show signs of
going to pieces. The column stretched out
longer and longer, like piece of India rubber.
The ranks looked thin and ragged. Lame and
footsore. with wo-begone faces, their bodies
aching in every bone and tendon, and overcome
with weariness that no one can realize unless
| he has 90 been there" the men dropped out one
| by one and threw themselves into the fence
| corners to rest. The officers st0rmed and drew
| their swords in vain. Nature-that is, the
nature of a new soldier-could endure no more.
The ambulances were filled to their utmost, but
| these would not hold a twentieth part of the
crippled and suffering men.
How're ye gittin' on, Shortly" said ST, as
he and his comrade still struggled along.
Fair to middlin'," replied Shorty. "Fm
goin to try and pull through"
"I thought l could" said 81, "but I'm bout
played out am, fer fact guess eff rest
bit I'll be able to ketch up after while"
ST didn't know, till he found out by expert
ence, how hard it was to ketch up" when a
soldier once got behind on the march. 81 was
too fat for good roadster, but it didn't take a
great while to work off his surplus flesh. Shorty
was tall and slim, mostly bone-One of the sort
that always stood the marching best.
| 81 crept up to the Orderly and told him that
his blisters a rest. He'd pull up with Co. Q in
an hour or so.
Better not, ST." said the Orderly; eye
| know it's agin orders, and the rear-guard III
punch ye with their bay nets if they catch ye
stragglin'."
But 81 concluded that if he must die for his
| country it would be sweeter to do so by having
a bayonet inserted in his vitals, and then il
would be all over with at once, than to walk
| himself to death.
! So he gradually fell back till he reached the
tail of the company. Watching his opportunity
he left the ranks crept into clump of bushes,
and lay down, feeling as if he had been run
through grist-mill. Soon the rear guard ol
the 200th came along, with fixed bayonets
driving before them, like flock of frightened
sheep, a motley crowd of limping, groanine
men, gathered up by the roadside.
81 lay very still, hoping TO escape discovery
but the keen eye of the officer detected the blue
heap among the bushes.
Bring that man QUIT" said he sternly tt
one Of the guards.
Poor ST scarcely dared to breathe. He hoped
the man would think he was dead, and there
fore no longer of any account. But the soldier
began to prod him with his bayonet, ordering
him to get up and move on.
"Look-a here, pard," said ST, don't stab M
with that thing! 1 jest can't git along any
furder till blow little. You please lemmt

Fashion Note.

Last Summer Col. Witherspoon and Judge
Pennybunker spent several weeks with their
families at Galveston, enjoying the delightful
sea bathing and other island city luxuries.
One day, while padding about in the surf
in the scant costume peculiar to surf bathers,
Col. Witherspoon tapped his friend on the
shoulder and said:
BY the way, Pennybunker, my wife has in
vited some friends to little party, and there
will be some dancing. l want you to come, do
you hear?"
"All right, old boy, I'll be there. suppose it
will be bang-up affair, and I'll have to come
in regular bail costume"
"Oh, no, come just as you are"
