The publication of rulings by the
secretary OF the interior department
upon pension cases contains a remark.
able tale told in the application for a
pension by "a claimant residing in ILL
nois.
He made oath that at the battle OF
Shiloh, April G, 1852, being on the
skirmish line, a cannon ball cut off the
limb Of a tree, which fell upon his
back, crushing him to the ground.
While lying there n Confederate sol
der rushed upon him and bayoneted
him in the neck.
He was sent home, and there re-
manned for ten months. He rejoinsd
his regiment in March, 1868, Before
Jackson. Miss, he was again on the
skirmish line, when a shell cut of the
limb Of n tree, which fell upon him,
bearing him to the ground, and once
again II Confederate soldier appeared,
plunged a bayonet into his neck and
retired. Before n special examiner,
sent put to investigate this strange
story, the claimant stolidly adhered to
his declaration.
The assistant secretary naively in.
dorsed this as IAN extraordinary story,
and n tax upon human credulity, espe-
ciRlly as not nm officer or comrade had
even heard of his being wounded -

THE story of Miss Butterworth's mar
rage to Mr.. Howe is traEically romantic.
Miss Butterworth is the daughter OF Con-
gresham Ben Buttervorth OF Ohio. MIR.
Howe was a clerk in the state depart
ment. The young people were engaged
to. be married and the ceremony was to
have taken place yesterday. About n
week ago Howe was taken down with
pneumonia. He grew rapidly worse and
in the opinion of his physicians his con-
dition was aggravated by a consciousness
OF his inability to keep his wedding en-
EAgement Learning Of this Miss But
terworth decided to have the ceremony
performed at once and the wedding &C
cordingy took place on Wednesday after
noon at the sick mans bedside in the
presence OF a few intimate friends. The
following day, the day originally set for
he wedding, Howe died.

Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, wan the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
