n, ABOUT JUNGLE SAM.'
Figures That Speak.

Uncle Sam has s40O,OOO, 900 in his strong box and in this respect is not hard up. But he owes $l, S4S, ,OOO. .0GO, and is, therefore, sl, AIS, 100000 behind the world. Fiftyfve millions ofpeople are his indorsers, however, and his credit is pretty good the world over He can get trusted for any thing he wants.
 Uncle Sam looks pretty careful ly after the welfare of his subjects who go down to the sea in ships. He maintains more than 200 life. saving stations, the crews of which saved more than 2OO0 lives during the year, losing eleven.
 Uncle Sam is now practically at work upon eighty new structures. scattered all over the country and designed to cost from $25,OO0 to s1 ,5OO, ,OOO.
 Uncle Sam paid out during 1885 a million a week for interests on the public debt. Even at that he got of easier than he has in any year since 1863. In 1868 he paid out for this purpose a144, 100000, a sum nearly equal to his present total expenses, including interest and sinking fund. Even as recent, ly as 1880 the interest burden was $95 100000.
 Uncle Sam's expenses during the last year were almost million for each business day. That this republic is not l!ngrateful is shown by the fact that the pensions item leads this list with $56, ,O00, 900; next is miscellaneous, including public buildings, light houses, col lecting the revenue, etc., a54 ,0O0, GOO; interests on the public debt, s51 ,O00 900; the sinking fund, SIG; O0O,OOO: military, including rivers, harbors and arsenals, $43,OOO,OOO; civil expenses Congress judiciary etc., 24,000,0oO; navy, SIG. 900. 900; Indians, SC, 100000, foreign intercourse, s5,OOO,OOO, and Dis trict of Columbia, &3. 100000.
 Uncle Sam takes in good deal of money in the course of a year. We are all taxpayers and we ought to know where these S320, ,O0O,O0C come.

- -'-------.-----'---- - The Battlefield.

Said Capt. George ". Stone yes- terday: ''I don't believe any man ever went into a battle without feeling frightened. I know 1 iiev- CT did. I'll tell you when man feels real badly. It's when he is forming his men into line for a big battle while a little skirmishing fire is kept up all the time. Every min ute OF SO some one, maybe your best friend, standing right next to you, will shriek out, Oh, my God,' and fall back dead, yet you cannot let your men fire, for the army must be drawn up first. There is plenty of time to think. You don't dare to to retaliate in any way. The next bullet may find your heart, and your children will be left father less. It is moment that tries the bravest man, because he has to stand quietly and take it all. But when the order comes to fight, and the excitement of the battle arises, fear passes away. You have some thing to do. You have a duty to peform at any cost. Bullets drive into the ground at your feet, send. ing up little clouds of dust; they whistle past your ears and maybe cut holes in your clothing. Shells and Shrepnel kill your comrade and leave you living, and soon there comes a feeling that some good fortune has preserved you and will protect you, and the de- sire to do as much damage as pos sible to the enemy alone fills your mind. That was my experience in the army, and l don't believe that the man lived who did not feel at the commtncement of a figet that he wuld ratheor be somewhere else.''-Cincinnati Times Star, Ju- ly 24.

One Of the largest advertisers in London says: I've once hit upon novel expedient for ascertaining over what area Cur advertisements were read. We published a coup le of half-column ''ads," in which we purposely misstated half dog en historical facts. Ih less than a week we received 300 and 400 let ters from all parts of the country, from people wishing to know why on earth we kept such a cOnsunate fool; who knew so little about En- gligh history. The letters kept pouring in for three or four weeks, It was one of the best paying ads. we ever printed. Bnt we did not repeat our experiment because the one I refer to served its purpose. Our letters came from schoOl-bOys, girls, professors, school teachers, clergymen, and in two instances from eminent men, who have a world wide reputation. 1 was i'm pressed more with the value of ad- vertisng from those two advertise meats than I should have been by .oI.,,o. nf thnnrias v

Two washings, that was all

I wore it then day or two,
But when twas washed again,

For little brother Ben"
A fortnight Ben squeezed into it
At last he said it hurt;

Was good as any shirt. :,
We ne'er will wash it more while yet
We see its I'll .kering light,
For if again that shirt is wet

people of Montrose, Brad was equally

people OF MOntrOSe, Drau WAS eq odiIf
happy.
There was a telegraph operator and
station agent in Montrose at that time
named Rock Green. He was small
but wirey man, and full of grit and
pluck. There was also big, over
grown, iack-leg lawyer there, whose
boisterous braggadocio ways made
him very unpopular.
One night the lawyer got full of bad
whisky and abused Rock Green, when
the latter slapped his face and kicked
him out of the station office.
The lawyer went straight to Brad
and demanded justice. Brad talked
to him a while, trying to dissude him
from bringing the matter before
court; but it was no use, the lawyer
insisted on Green's arrest. Finally
Brad sent for Green and after getting
the two men in his store, produced
some prime Bourbon, and under its
genial influence he effected recOncil-
iation between the two parties, and
they parted friends.
About an hour afterward, however,
they again got to quarreling, and both
went to Brad's store, the lawyer swear
ing he could lick Green, etc.
Brad studied the matter moment
and then spoke up: 'LoOk here, you
| fellows have bothered me enough. L
amt going to issue any warrant. L
amt going to try this case in court.
But. if you fellows don't go and fight
this thing out fair, I'll thrash We
both !"
They accepted his proposition, and
Brad took them both over to a stock
pen, beside the railroad track, and
made them both get into it, while he
sat on the top rail to see fair play. At
it they went, and in short time the
little station agent had pOmmelled the
big lawyer to his hearts content, and
! he was glad to cry ''peccavi.
Brad then declared the thing tair
, and square, according tO.law. And
that ended that matter.
Shortly afterwards the big lawyer
t again got drunk, and went over to
Brad's store for the svowed purpose OF
f licking him. Brad listened to his
buster for a few minutes, when he
q looked him square in the eye and
e said:
= eff you don't go out of here L Will
e set little Rock Green on you :"
d And the big fellow skunk out of the
l. store, amid roar of laughter from
}. the bystanders.
t. So that's the way Brad Robinson
dispensed justice and groceries in the
d good town of MOntrOse In 1871.
re And where are they now did yor
he say? Well, Brad, as we have SAID
g before, became passenger conductor
Is on the NJ. K. & T., and afterward
ID filled the same position on the Ohi'
& Mississippi; but he is in st. LOul
d now running as conductor on Pull
