He'd Choose To BE A Baby.

The following story was told at re-
cent encampment of the Grand Army at
Mexico, Mo. A group around one of the
numerous cafnp-fres were relating incid-
ents of bravery and cowardice shown in
battle, and this is one of them:
sit was at the battle of Gettysburg
said the speaker, when the bullets were
falling like hail, and the shells were
shricking and bursting over our heads in
a way to make the bravest heart tremble,
a private dropped out of the ranks and
skulked back toward the rear. He was well
under way, when, unfortunately for him,
he was met by Gen. Slocum coming to
the front.
"'What are you doing here? Get back
to your postP' the general shouted.
1.-THE poor fellow stopped still and
trembled like leaf, but made no reply.
"'Get back to your post, you miserable
coward! Aren't you ashamed of your
self to be skulking back here when you
should be in the front with your brave
comrades?'
Still the man made no reply, but
commenced to cry like year-old infant.
"You infamous, sneaking coward p
shouted the infurated general, get back
to your post! I'll ride you down like a
dog. Why, you. are nothing but a
baby
"I-I-rn t-t-ten you what, general
said the numbering fellow, I'D g. g G. give
anything just n-n-now if I I was
BIB baby; and ills I had my choice I'd
r-r-rather be female b-b-baby."

Our readers will notice in this weeks issue,
change from the small advertisement of
LIE Pages Liquid Glue, showing the small
can or bottle. Instead of the simple an
nouncement of its merits, those who use it,
amount of sales, how sample can be obtained,
&C., the Russia Cement Company perform
a praise-worthy act in revealing a fraud
which is the more contemplate, because it
affects only the smallest size for family use
(of bottle goods), and therefore affects
those who are obliged to buy in small guam
titles rather than those who are able to stand
the imposition. In addition to the state
ment5 of the advertisement, which we have
from good authority are exact in details, we
have it from sources unquestioned that vari-
GUS statements promulgated through the
press, by show cards, &c, of other CLUES as
receiving endorsements from high govern
ment officials, are entire fabrications with
not even the color of truth. In pointo of fact,
the Smithsonian Institution las we'll as 9TH
er Government Departmental have used, and
still use, LIE PAGES LIQUID GLUE exclusive
ly, reason for which is found in its contain
ing no acid, while we are informed all 9th
ers have an acid base; and in its superior
strength. At New Orleans, on a Richie
Testing Machine. a block of Georgia pine,
one inch square, butted, registered 1912
pounds before parting. LIE PAGES LIQUID
GLUE does not need our especial praise: the
fact that such manufacturers as the Pull
man Palace Car Co. have adopted it shows
its worth to every wood worker, and for
every family in the land.

THE wITHERED LEAF,

Wrenched from the stem, Dry Leaf Forlorn,
Where goest thou? II cannot say:
From our oak, storm-tost, was torn
Our oak, my only prop and stay.
Since then, with Maynard breath, the gale,
Whether it blow from North or West,
From Wood to Field, from Hill to Vale,
Hurries me on and gives no rest.

fear no fear, raise no quarrel:

General e, Smith on Other Officers.

Major Thomas J. Newsham, Adjutant
General to General Charles F. Smith
(now living at Edwardsville, Ill.,, says:
At the time of McClellan's promotion as
commander-in-chief of the armies he
General Smith said: lit is an expert
ment; but we must hope for the best. I
have never known an engineer officer of
high grade who was a success as COM
mander of troops in the field. They are
too fond of digging and maintaining a
base of supplies"
One day in December, 1861, Captain
Phil 81. Sheridan, who was then in the
commissary, came to see General Smith.
Still seated at the dinner table General
Smith said: "Phil, would you like to
know my opinion of you?" Sheridan
blushed and replied: '.If you please,
General" "Well, PHIL said he, "the
government has spoiled splendid cav
airy officer to make id poor commits
sary of subsistence"
His estimate of General Don Carlos
Buell. was that he was a "good soldier
and truly loyal, but too cautious for the
times, which, since war had come in
earnest, needed dash and persistent fight
ing to the bitter end"
Speaking of General Sherman, whr,se
military prowess he admired, said Gen
eral Smith to me: Gas soon as Sherman
gets some of the crazy blood let out of
him, he will make splendid officer and
and successful general. If anything
happens to me seek an appointment on
his staff, and you will see all the fight
ing you want"
In speaking of General Grant he made
the prediction that: eff the jealousy and
envy of others do not crush him in the
near future, he will make his mark high
up as SOLDIER
His opinion was that General Halleck
was jealous of General Grant, and sought
to humiliate him in every way possible,
and that his arrest and detention at Fort
Henry were due to this. This opinion
was concurred in by his associates and
the army generally.

AFTER THE FALL OF TROY.

Troy has fallen; and never will be
Wer like the war that was waged for me.
Could but have those ten years back again
With the love and the glory, the pleasure like
pain.
The clash of arms, and the din of tie fight,
The feasting, and music. the color and light
Yet mixed with it all, there sounded to me
Ever moan from the far-off sea.
There still remains this for all time to be-
The war of the world was fought for me.
Tive them no pity who died for me there,
Len can never more die for fece SO fair.
And Whist does it matter that now they lie,
Quiet, and silent, beneath the sky?
Remember that none evermore can be
Back for those years in Troy for me.

Why A. II. stephens Did Not Garry a Pistol
Atlanta Constitution.
Colonel John A. Stephens says that
Alexander 81. Stephens never carried a
pistol but once in his life, and that was
when he was boy. Long wears ago.
when wagon trains were more common in
Georgia. Mr.. Stephens started to Augusta
with some wagons. He was a small bow
then and carried pistol. When the
crowd stopped to camp '.Aleck" put his
pistol under his head to have it handy in
case robbers should appear. The next
morning his breeches were gone, and as
the youthful Stephens awoke in the dawn
and missed his pantaloons he was SO dis
gusted with the service his pistol had
failed to do that he swore he would never
carry another weapon. Itdeveloped that
some man in the camp had taken the
breeches to tease the boy, and they we're
soon restored to the owner.

Food makes Blood and Blood makes
Beauty. Improper digestion of food neces-
sarily produces bad blood, resulting in a
feeling of fullness in the stomach, aCidity,
heartburn, sick-headache, and other dyspep-

indigestion, constipation, biliousness and
loss of appetite. To remove these troubles
there is no remedy equal to Prickly Ash
Bitters. It has been tried and proven to be
