In Memory Of Willie Foust.
Little Willie rests in the silent tomb,
With his pale hands On his breast;
His smiling face so cheerful once.
Lies motionless in death.
The little one rests in silent peace,
In the arms OF the Savior is he;
For Jesus to the world has said,
Let the little ones come unto me.
We've parted, but Wen meet again,
Where parting win be no more,
And clasp glad hands with Willie,
In that radenb, shining shore.
Wen meet thee, yes Wen meet thee,
The dear one gone before,
VIII draw our souls to heaven,
Where Wen meet TO part no more.

The Russian method for stopping a
runaway horse is said to be very eff
fective, and is not particularly cruel.
They place a cord with a running
knot around the horses neck near the
neck strap. To this slip moose attach
a pair of reins, which may be thrown
over the dashboard ready to be seized
at once. When the horse starts take
up the extra reins, and tighten the
cord around the horses throat. The
most furious horse thus choked stops
instantly, and will not kick or fall.

A Model Hotel.

A week ago we had the pleasure of
enjoying the hospitality of the new
Bissell Hotel at PhillipsbuTg, which
has just been opened up to the pub
lie. The building is a large three
story brick with high basement and
is an ornament to the town. The ac-
commOdations are simply superb.
The rooms, Railways and stairways
are all completed and furnished IN
the highest style and best of comfort.
The cuisine Is excellent and spread
before the guests by the most court
eOus of walters. In short the house
IS run In metropolitan style and is
one Of the best N western Kansas.
The hotel has forty-three rooms, and
as an indication of its excellent man
agement we will say that the house
has been taxed to its utmost capacity
ever since it was opened. Mr. John
BIssell, the landlord, is formerly of
klrwln, and is we'll known all over

and $500 for a day that was obliged
to leave my work and go to Phillips

merchant to supply old soldiers and
their families with provisions; two
dollars and twenty-five cents of that

The following incident is related on
the authority of Mr.. w. L. Bright, NJ.
P; .Mr. Bright went into an agri-
cultural district one day. and he had
to walk from the station a long way
into the village. On the wav clergy
man, who was driving in dog-cart,
came up to him, and the two men
passed the time of day. The clergy
man offered to drive Mr.. Bright into
the village, and Mr.. Bright accepted
the offer. The clergyman was Tory,
and he had been reading a speech Mr..
Bright had made the previous night,
and, turning to Mr.. Bright, he said:
''Have you seen the papers to-day,
sir?' Yes said MIR. Bright. What's
in them?' why, that rascal JOHN
Bright has been making another
speech And what was it about?'
asked Mr.. Bright. why. so-and-so
and so-and-so,' and he went on to re-
late the incidents of the speech. Then
they discussed the topic, and Mr..

ARTILLERY FIRE.
1t Is Able by Itself to Repulse an Infantry
Attack.

The idea prevailing before the Franco
Prussian war that the effect of artillery
fire on the ranks of the enemy was
moral rather than actual is conclusive
ly wiped out by the account of two
the great authority on this arm, Prince
Kraft Hohenlohe. Although Prussia
gave Austria a tremendous licking in
1866 she recognized the fact that the
Austrian batteries were far superior
to hers and Immediately set to work
to improve them, with the following
result in 1870, as described by Prince
Kraft: II could never have believed
that the instruction given in time OF
peace would have borne such excellent
fruit in spite of the excitement OF
action. Standing behind the captain
of battery heard him quietly give
the order: Against infantry in front,
1900 PAGES, from the right flank.
ready! Fire one gunr Then he wait
ed, holding his field glass to his eye
until the enemy approached the point
on which the guns were laid. and gave
the order: Rapid firing from the right
fankn Then there was hellish sight.
for the advancing enemy disappeared
from view in the clouds of smoke which
the shells threw up as they burst and
tore their way through the ranks.
After one or two minutes the attack
Ing enemy came out on one side of the
smoke. 1t had passed the point on
which the guns were laid and in spite
of terrible loss approached with un-
deniable bravery. Then the captain
gave the command: Cease firing!
1,6O0 peace-one gun-cease firing!
And when the guns were now laid he
cried: AT 1,6O0 PAGES. from the right
flank, rapid firing! The effect was
brilliant, horrible, overwhelming. No
attack could have resisted it."
Again, we have the effect of the
German guns at st. Privat: "When
the head of the French column became
visible over the hill our trial shots
reached it at range of 1000 PAGES
and my thirty guns opened rapid fire.
The enemy's infantry was enveloped
in the thick smoke which the shells
made as they burst. But after very
short time we saw the red trousers of
the masses which were approaching us
appear through the cloud. l stopped
the fire. A trial shot was fired at 1,70O
PAGES range; this was to show us the
point upt to which we should let them
advance before reopening the rapid
fire. We did the same for the ranges
of / 800. 1900, LOO, and 900 PAGES.
In spite of the horrible devastation
which the shells caused in their ranks,
these brave troops continued to ad-
vance; but at 900 PAGES the effect of
our fire was too deadly for them; they
turned around and fled; we hurried
shells after them as long as we could
see chem. Here was an infantry attack
which was repulsed purely and simply
by the fire of artillery" The PROPOSE
tIon is also laid down that a line of ar
tillery can be broken by frontal at
tack by infantry. The effect of shrap-
nell reaches out to $500 yards, and
from 100 to 1,2O0 yards the effect of
artillery is absolutely annihilating.

A Silent Man.

A writer in Leisure Hour says that
the most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gusta-
vus Adolphus and the commander of
the emperor's armies in the Thirty
Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign around
him. His officers took care that no
loud conversation should disturb their
general. They knew that chamber
lain had been hanged for waking him
without orders and that an officer who
would wear clanking spurs in the
commanders presence had been Sc
cretly put to death.
In the rooms of his palace the SER
wants glided as if phantoms and a
dozen sentinels moved around his tent
charged to secure the silence the
general demanded. Chains were
stretched across the streets in order to
guard against the disturbance of
sounds.
Wallenstein's taciturnity which
made him shun speech and his love of
silence that caused him to be irritated
at the slightest nose were due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one. and he could not endure to
be gazed at even when giving an or
der. The soldiers when he crossed the
camp pretended not to see him, know
ing that curious look would bring
them punishment

The Choice Was Difhc ult.

Here is a story that Gen. Pierce
Young tells, says the Washington Post.
Away up in the Georgia mountains
lies Catoosa Springs, favorte sum-
mer resort of Savannah and Atlanta
society people. Among the pines and
breezes of the hills the fever and lassi-
low country disappear like magic.
One day Gen Young saw an old fellow
come up with a basket of eggs and a
bunch of chickens for the hotel peo-
pie and recognized an old trooper of
his command.
Jake" he call out, Jack Dorridge,
how are you?"
"Why, laws massy, general, how
de-do? l han't see ye sence the wah. :"
They chatted for few minutes.
'Do you come up here often Jake?"
"Pooty nigh every day. The folks
want my chickens n aigs ] like to
rest my ewes a-lookin' at some o these
yer pooty gals"
"Thev are handsome aren't they,
Jakep'
Deed they air."
Now, jake" said Gen. Young,
waving HIS manu- tOWaIu d group OI
three young ladies with whom he had
been chatting, "tell me which of those
three young ladies is the prettiest."
cav, Gineral Young, they's all
pooty. 'Twouldn't be good manners
for me to say ary one was pootier'n
t'other."
"But, Jake, it will give them great
deal of pleasure to learn your opinion.
They are great friends. and will not
feel at all hurt at your decision. Now,
walk right up and pick out the best
looking"
After much solicitation Jake under
took the task. He walked up and
peered closely at the laughing girls.
About 100 guests had gathered by this
time to see the trial. Finally Jake
turned, scratching his head. All three
of the young ladies wore broad sashes
around their waists.
"Gineral Young, they's all three so
pooty it is hard to make a choice, but
still, am fo'ced to say that the one
with the yaller belly-band is lectle
the trimmest."
There was a scream. a tlutter of
white dresses, and three blushing
young ladies, with various colored
sashes, dashed into the hotel and out
of sight.
