q. A. X. TURKEYS.
The Christmas Dinner to be Given to
Poor Widows aud Orphans.

The Grand Army posts in this city have been
in the habit for several years past Of giving a
Christmas dinner. This year win be no excep-
ton. The preliminary arrangements are being
made, and in 9 few days the entire committee
of arrangements viii be appointed. John A.
Rawlins post, No. 1, has taken the lead in this
matter and has appointed two of its members.
]. T. Whitney and Chas. Boyd, TO represent the
post on tho general committee. Mr.. Whitney
was chairman Of the committee last year. and
the widows and orphans and the poor members
of the Grand Army can no doubt testify that
the dinner was q great success Each Of the
posts interested in this matter will appoint two
members TO represent them on the committee.
Then they contribute the necessary funds the
various posts giving such amounts as they feel
able. With this money turkeys. cranberries,
and all the ''hxin's" of frst-class Christmas
DINNER are purchased. and on the appointed
day all the good things are set forth on table
which Is laid In the Grand Army hall. The in
vIted guests, with as many of their hosts can
be accommodated. sit down to the feast, and
genuine Christmas cheer il enjoyed. This
pleasant custom has become so popular that it
Is likely TO be continued each year. The COM
rades say that the expense. divided among so
many, Is small while the amount of happiness
conferred is very great.

II THE LATTER SHOULD COME IN TO THE SENATE
THE LATTER WILL GO OUT.
The New York Times yesterday stated that
number of influential republicans from Colo
RADIO held an informal conference Tuesday at
the Fifth avenue hotel, the subject under dis
cussion being the senatorial canvass now pro-
ceeding in the Centennial state. The candi-
dates already named are the present Senator
Thomas c. Bowen Ed Wolcott, ex-Senators
Tabor and Hill. and David H. Mofitt, the Dem
yer banker. Among those present at the con-
ference were Senator Teller, State Senator
Samuel Adams. d. II. Mofitt. Col. John Atkins,
and Mr.. Metcalf. In the discussion the name
Of Tabor came up and this is said to have
aroused Senator Teller to such an extent that
he said, If the legislature elects Tabor they
may as well elect another Senator in
my place, for / will not serve in
the Senate with colleague Of the
stamp Of Tabor, who, when Senator before,
was the lsughing-stock of the country" Mr..
Teller is also said to have made some sarcastic
remarks about Senator Tabor's three-dollar
night-shirts.
Senator Teller when seen by STAR reporter
last evening said that he had been misquoted
What did say" said he, .'was that if Mr..
Tabor was elected would not, two years hence.
be a candidate for reelection. / didn't say
would resign if he were elected. When / was
elected for this term I pledged myself not to
resign. and shall not break my pledge. may
have said something about not caring to sit in
the Senate with Mr.. Tabor That possibility
does not trouble me. however, because I do
not think there is the slightest chance for Mr.
Tabor; he cannot be elected"

and for awhile it looked as if we were to
have terrible storm of wind and rain.
The gale passed by this city, but the
clouds bursted and for fifteen minutes a
heavy rain fell, after which the sun
shone bright and clear. Many, par
ticularly ladies, feared cyclone.
A large number of citizens went up to
the depot yesterday to see the officers

The people of Sturgis were sorry to see
the officers depart, as they have proven
themselves to be most agreeable and

Medicinal uses of the Lemon.

demons are very healthy and good,
not only for allaying the thirst but will
cure a multitude of disorders. The
juice of the lemon contains citric acid.
Acids as rule decrease tho acil Sc
cretion of the body and increase the
alkaline. Citric acid, which is the acid
of lemons and oranges for instance, will
diminish the secretions of gastric juice
but increases very materially the secre-
tion of saliva. The very thought of a
lemon is sufficient to make the mouth
water. Thirst in fevers i, not always
due to lack of water in the blood. 1t
may be due in part to lack of the se-
cretion of the saliva. When the mouth
is parched and dry the acid will in
crease the saliva. Wh,n acid is given
for the relief of dyspepsia it should be
taken before eating. Lemon juice
drank before meals will be found very
advantageous as preventive to heart.

Hunting With Dogs.

All hounds, save the greyhound, run
entirely by scent. When they come
upon tho faint scent of track they will
work along it until it grows freshcr,
and then begin to bay or "give tongue"
There is always correspondence be-
tween the baying and the trail. An ex-
perienccd hunter can tell by the baying
not only where tho dog is, but, Iy the
frequency and confidence of the sound,
how fresh the trail is that is, how close
upon his game tho dog is All hunted
animals havo way of doubling, or
running in circles. Hence, if hunter
observes by the baying that his dog is
going away from him, he waits patient
ly, sometimes for minutes, sometimes
for hours, until the circle is made and
he hears the dog approaching. The, he
is on tho alert Tor shot for tho game is
probably not many rods in advanc, of
the dog.
A hound is seldom lost. His nose is
his compass. Whenever he pleases, ho
can take up his masters track and find
him, or he can retrace his own steps
homeward.
Dogs do not seem to enjoy those odors
that please ua A dog will turn away
disappointed and indifferent from the
finest of perfumes. Except the scent OF
those things which he would like to cat
l have never found anything that
seemed to delight dogs sense Of
smell. list. Nicholas.

The Chinese Almanac.

Recently the Chinese residents at
Lhassa, in Thibet, implored tue empe-
ror to cause arrangements to be made
which would enable them to receive the
copies of their almanac at the earliest
possible date in each year. This ankle
ty would seem very curious, were it not
the fact, as we are informed by writer
in the Chinese Recorder, that the al
manac is the most important book to
the Chinese. Its space is far too impor-
tant to be occupied with the matter
which fills western almanacs. It con-
tains astron omical information which is
useful, but its great mission is to give
full and accurate information for select
ing lucky places for performing all the
acts, great and small, of their everyday
life. And as every act of life in China,
however trivial, depends for its success
on the time in which and the direction
q. e., tho point of the, compass toward
which it is done) il of the utmost i'm
portance to the Chinese that every ono
should have correct information avail
able at all times to so order his life as to
avoid bad luck and calamity and secure
good luck and prosperity. Consequent
ly, the almanac is, perhaps, tho most
universally cirou' ated book in China.

Waiting for the Bugle.


We wait for the bugle; the night dews are
cold,
The limbs of the soldiers feel jaded and old,
The field of our bivouac is windy and bare,
There is lead in our joints, there is frost in
our hair,
The future is veiled and its fortune unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the bugle
is blown.
At the sound of the bugle each comrade shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain Of
the string;
The courage, the impulse Of youth shall come
back
To Danish the chill of their rear bivouac,
And sorrows and losses and cares fade away
When that life-giving signal proclaims the
new day.
Though the bivouac of age may put ice in
our veins,
And no fibre Of steel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades of yesterdays march
are not here,
And the sun light seems pale and the branches
Though the sound of our cheering dies down
to moan,
We shall find our lost youth VIXEN the bugle
is blown.

American Versatility,

In America man finds he can turn
his hand to anything. He discovers his
ability when he fnds hc has to do it.
In Europe he generally has ono trade
and he cannot easily get into any other.
America is the most versatile nation on
the face of the globe, barring the dudes.
In Europe when workman ihvents
some new appliance his employer gives
him five shillings week more and grabs
the invention. In America when man
shows his employer some new dodge by
which he can mako money, the en-
ployer takes him into partnership and
he always invents moro things. But it
is curious how versatile American, are.
You will find man in the stock bust.
ness who has been dan cling master
you'll find many lawyers who have been
doctors and doctors who have been law

uated from the bar to the pulpit-yes,
perhaps from both bars; you will find a
man who cut your corns few years ago
contracting to build railroads. You
will not often meet such versatility in
Europe. When a man has once fairly
started as a. doctor there he has got to
keep on if he starves at the business.
If he has been trained for tho church
he will have to die curatc, If it be his
luck never to get any further up. If q
man becomes clerk he clerks it all his
life, and he daren't step out because
every avenue is overcrowded. So be

ity and ono can see how the curious
caste system arose in China where fam

Singular Coincidence.

The day the disastrous confagration
occurred, E. J. Ssvier, one of the lead
ing insurance agents in the city, received
letter from one Of his companies in,
which they suggested that he was carry
ing perhaps too much insurance in the
Griffi,- Caldwell block. That night he
answered tho letter, and wrote that he
considered it one of the safest risks in
the city; that the building was so con-
structed that even if fro started in
any one section it could not spread. He
sealed the letter. and. just as he handed
it to his brother to mail, ths fire alarm
sounded. He ran out and saw the block
in flames at the very point he had just
written about. Chattanooga Tenn.

Giving Away Japanese Children.

But the queerest custom in Japan,
says the Omaha Bee, and one that is not
generally known is the interchange of
boys. Mr.. Kawakura has a boy and to
show his appreciation of his friend
kindness gives him this child. The
boy is formally adopted in his new
family and assumes all the right and
title belonging to it. He becomes to.
tally alienated from his real parents and
is disowned by them. Now, M. Iwaya,
who has two sons, hears of K.wakura's
generosity and, not to be outdone, sends
him one of his boys.
Kawakura accepts this present with
thanks and young Iwaya bears that
name no longer, but enters at once as
the heir to Kawakura's name and prop
erty. This strange proceeding is carried
on among all classes. The above named
instance in which the names arc not
changed came under the writer's obser-
vation. But another high official, Mr..
Matsu Moo, once said that he did not
think that his youngest son, a child of
eight years, was of much account, hencs
he had given him to jinrikiska coolie.

A BlOOdless German.

Not many miles from Berlin, Ger
many. there lives man who, if what
report says Of him be true, is certainly
one of the most remarkable phenomena
on record. The papers state as posi-.
tive fact that he has no blood in his
veins and that committee of the lead :
ing physicians and scientists have de-
clared their inability to account for this
extraordinary circumstance. The man
is Corporal in the German army, and
goes by the name of Otto Schrie Der.
He himself was quite unconscious of
his bloodless condition until two months
ago, when he fought duel with fel-
low soldier. His opponent ran his
sword through his body without, how
ever, drawing any blood, and the
''patient" seemed not bit the worse.
The man was so taken by surprise that
Otto had no trouble in killing him.
Since that time the comrades of the
Corporal have been careful not to tread
on his toes, and on no consideration to
accept challenge from him. He was
submitted to severe test at medical
institute in Berlin. A knife was thrust
into his mouth, tho point coming out
at the back of the neck. Not a drop
| of blood was smiled and Otto felt no
pain during the operation. The gen.
tlemen who examined him are W ful. y
convinced that there are many things
in heaven and earth that they never
dreamed of. Otto Schricber intends as
soon as his time is up--. e., next year
Ito show himself in the principal cities
of Europe. --[London Budget.
