Cracks in Pretty woman's Lips.

Early in the autumn the winds cause
assures or cracks in the lips that are
not only extremely unpleasant to look
upon, but are exquisitely painful, and
and by touching them with your
tongue you intensity the pain very
much. Go to the drug shop and get
there an old remedy, so old that it has
the charm of novelty. 1t rejoices in
an overpowering Latin name, but
when you ask the druggist for it in
English, say you want citron cream;
apply this with your fingers, or soft
linen cloth, and the cooling and heal
ing result that will follow will con-
vince you that even in medicine some
times old things are best Bah.

The Chinese Diplomatic Flirts.

The new Chinese minister does not
believe in lovemaking between Ameri-
can girls and the lively young attaches
of his legation, and gave out word.
even before his departure from China,
that under his reign here no such
nonsense will be permitted. These
young Cinnamon are veritable mash
ers, and are known as such from kitch-

like the novelty OF receiving attention

One Nlyht In the ARMY

Col. Ike Hin, Of Licking county, with
out doubt one Of the greatest national
characters, was in the city u few DAYS
ago. TO number Of old friends, who
braved the terrors of war, he related
how he came by the title of Colonel.
II served in the army one consecu-
tive night" said Ike. at was the Army
of the Potomac, and it was near Alex
andria when found them. | was on
my way there, and on the train, not far
from Alexandria, met an old friend who
was an officer in that army. / was then
a great short-card PLAYER and he knew
it. He invited me to go down to camp,
telling me l would win a barrel of
money. Well, went.
SIT was long toward evening, and
that night we had game of poker.
Why, | won at least $4,000, breaking
them all. One of the crowd of officers
was sore loser, and when he had staked
and lost his last cent he pulled his re-
volver and made me throw up my
hands, Then they took every cent had
and turned me over from one guard to
another until I landed in the bull pen at
Alexandria. | was dressed fit to kill,
and one Of these devils took a knife

"That was all. Captain Owens once
asked me, in very surprising
whether l had thrown up my hand;
when they told me to. l said l did.
"You wanted no more war, them" ir

"No, indeed. Some time afterwards
in New York, I met friend of mine
who was an officer connected with the
Army of the Cumberland. He and sew

and they were telling me how many bar

The Banner OF the Sea.

Verses by Homer Greene, to which
John Boyle O'ReilIy awarded the prize
which the Scranton Truth offered for
the best sea song.
''His song possesses many high quail

the whole it makes an admirable la

By wind and wave the sailor brave has

But, never yet have seamen met or dared
Grim death for victory
In Drawer mood than they who died
On drifting decks, in Apa's tide
While cheering every sailors pride,
The Banner of the Free!
Columbia's men were they who then went
down,
Not knights nor kings of old,
But brighter far ther Iaurels are than crown
Or coronet of gold:

Would O. e TIE last long Dferrt.rs, ss ,rrer-
TC-0neer the old red, white and blue,
The Banner of the Bold!
With hearts of oak, through storm and
smoke and flame,
Columbia's seamcn long
Have bravely fought and nobly wrought
that shame
Might never duh their song;
They sing the country of the free,
The glory of the rolling sea,
The starry flag of liberty,
The Banner of the Strongl
We ask but this, and not amiss the claim,
A fleet to ride the wave,
A navy great to crown the state with fame
Though fee; or tempeSts rave;
Then, rs our fathers did of yore,
Wen sail our ships to every shore,
On every ocean wind will soar
The Banner of the Brave!
Oh this we claim, that never shame may

On any wave with thee,
Thou ship of state whose timbers great
abide
The home of liberty:
For, so, our gallant Yankee tars,
OF daring deeds ami honored sears,
Will make the banner of the stars

When we OF the cavalry we're falling
back before Lee as he was headed for
Chantilly and Bull Run, squadron of
us which had been detailed to bring a
wounded officer away from o house
which would soon be in possession Of
the advancing confederates, found our
selves shut in, front and rear, We
numbered about thirty mon, and had a
two-horse ambulance in winch the
wounded man had been made as COM
Portable rs possible. We had, indeed,
advanced about quarter Of mile be-
fore we discovered the box We were in.
The confederate who had come in behind
us were cavalry, and owing to q turn
in the road and bit of woods had not
yet seen us. The lieutenant in COM
mand consulted with the major whom
we were bringing away, and explained
the situation.
Prepare me rs well as you can for
the ride, give -he o revolver, and then
form your men by tours and ride right
down Oh the rebs and cut your way

| was in the advance set Of fourS, and
the man on my right was next to the
highway ditch. All OF q sudden, just
as we We're waiting the order to advance,
little negro boy, not over three years
old, and as black as the blacklist tar ever
made, appeared in the ditch alongside of
Parker. He seemed to have been hiding
in the weeds, and think he must have
fallen out of cart or got parted from
the family as they were hurrying into
the union lines before Lees advance,
At any rate he was there and alone, and
as We saw him, Parker said:
"Good lands! but here's niger baby
right under foot and all alone. What
shall we do with him."
At that moment we got the word to
go ahead, and Parker leaned over,
picked the child up and placed him in
front on the saddle. Two or three of us
called to HIM to drop the boy. but he
didn't do it. AS we moved forward
'Pick" was there and hanging on for
dear life, his eyes as white as raw onions
and every tooth plain to be counted
We were right on the rebels before they
saw us, and it was biff! bang! slash! and

/. Lincoln's Bootjack.

Among the hundreds of historical
relics in the Libby Prison War Museum
there are few more interesting than
Abraham Lincoln's bootjack. 1t is in
teresting because of the lnscrutable
mystery surrounding it. The museum,
it is true, is filled with old bricks with
iack-knile autographs on them, and also
teeth marks, where the prisoners at.

are also many old bullets and handouts

checkerboards carved on them, but they
fail to furnish the food for speculation
afforded by the bootjack.
1t is common, hardwood, hand

For nearly twenty five years it has been

The Oldest Officer.

Maine claims the Oldest officer in the
United States army. At a recent meet
ing of the United Service Club in Brook
lyn, N. Y, q member asked: "Who is
the oldest officer in the service since
Gen. Harney's death?" Gen. Hannibal
Day was claimed by an army man and
Commodore Henry Bruce by a navy
officer, but an ex-officer present spoke
up and said: "You are both mistaken,
and, what is more, Gen. Harvey, at the
time of his death, was not the oldest,
either in years or by entry into the SER
vice. Harvey was born in the year 1900,
and entered the service in 1918, while
Commodore Henry Bruce was born in
1898 in Maine, when it was a part of
Massachusetts,, and entered the service
in November, 1918. The Oldest officer
in age and by entry into service is Sec
ond Lieutenant, Michael Moore of the
army retired list, who was born in
Brooklyn in 1895. and enlisted at Gov
errors Island, Esw York harbor, in
April, 1919"

our CHOICE FOR CONGRESS-:
Andrew Price,
OF LAFOURCHE.
SATURDAY, JULY p. 1889.
THIRD.
OF

That is the day fixed by his Excel
lency for the election Of Congress-
man. The time is short and not a mo-
ment should be lost to put things in
order for the success OF the Democrat
ic cause.
Our convention will meet on the
18th of August next, at Lake Charles,
and it is time for our executive COM
mittee to take some action to send
tit men to represent LafOurche in that
convention.
Much will depend on the choice of
the convention. We have no doubt
that the Democracy of the district.
acting through its representatives in
convention assembled, will put forth
il representative Democrat as it's an
didate, a strong man who will not
only rally around his banner the Dem
Ocratic hosts but also draw from the
ranks Of disaffected Republicans.
The Republicans 4 pickering and
quarreling among themselves, and,
notwithstanding all the promised a
tional aid talked Of, will stand little
chance Of snccess before the united
front of the Democracy.
The Third District..is now secarcly
Democratic and naught but aFathy
and criminal negligence in our ranks
can lose it to the Democracy.

The Verdict Unanimous.

W. ID. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind,
testities: 81 can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Ev-
cry bottle sold has given relief in
every case. One man took six bottles,
and was cured OF Rheumatism of 10
years standing" Abraham Hare,
druggsist, Bellville, Ohio, atfirms: "'The
best selling medicine | have ever hand
led in my 20 years experience, is
Electric Bitters.' Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit
ters do cure all diseases of the Liver,
Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar
