HOW TO Succeed

This is the great problem of life
which few satisfactorily solve. Some
fail because of poor health, others
want ofluck, but the majority from
deficient grit-wlnt of nerve. They
are nervous, irresolute, changeable,
easily get the blues and take the
spirits down to keep the spirits up
thus wasting money, time, opportunity
and nerve force There is nothing
like the Restorative Nervine, dis
covered by the great specialist, DR.
Miles, to cure all nervous diseases,
as headache, the blues, nervous
prostration, slceplessness, neuralgia,
St. Vitus dance, fits, and hysteria.

Stonewall JackSon's fsiGiaE.

StoNewall jackson was the worst
rider in both armies. lie wobbled
about in the saddle like Il man in a
state of profound intoNralion. and
seemed every moment about TO fall
of his horse. He never fell. but NJ
ways Kept the spectators bcliipg odds
with themselves that he would before
he had gone another hundred Yards.
Ills wonderfully bad riding was as
well known in the Federal us in the
confederate army, and once nearly led
to his capture By an OUTPOST. 1t was
during his famous march to Bull Run
that jackson and several members of
ms stall undertook to do u little recon
noIterIng on their own account. The
weather was bad, and it was wet aui
rainy, and they had on long water
proof coats that completely concealed
Their uniforms. They completed the
examination OF the country thew were
looking over, and turned 10 90 back
when they found, on nearing a bridge
over small stream, that the approach
to 1t was guarded by detachment of
Federal troops having piece of
artillery which they had planted on
the road in position from which il
could rake the bridge. Jackson did
not hesitate moment. GaIloping up
behind his men he shouted out 10 the
officer i'll commands: WHO directed
You to put that gun on the road? Take
IS away and mount it in the woods on
the hill yondcr. | never saw such "A
piece CT folly. Here in the open ground
your men will he shot down from the
brush on Tie other sidc.n
On he went as though in n terrible
passion, berating the officer. who
colored. apologized, and hastily gave
the order for removing the gun. Jack
son with his staff at his heels galloped
of to the left as though to pass down
the stream, made Il sudden turn.
Numbered across the bridge and
escaped. The befuddled officer in CON-
mand of the gun had not gone far
when he saw Jackson and hrs party
cross the bridge toward the enemy's
lines, and, conjecturing tic truth from
Jackson's riding got his gun into posi-
ton and sent q shot after theaa. 1t
was not however. TIL the next day
that he learned from prisoner that
his guess had been correct and that the
officer who fell into such passion
about the gun was no other than the
famous Confederate General. - 81.

ADMIRAL PORTER DEAD.
THE HEAD OF OUR NAVY DIES
SUDDENLY AT WASHINGTON
sis Death was Unexpected, Thoagh
He Had Becn Ailing for Over
Ycar-EHis Career.

Washington TELEGRAM: Admiral Porter
of the United States navy died at his res
idence here yesterday. His death was
unexpected. for although he had been an
invalid for year or more, he had been
reported as better of late. and there were
no previous signs of the sudden termina-
ton Of his life. His disease was an affec-
ton Of the heart.
Admiral Porter's services during the
late war were of distinguished character.
He had been unable to attend generally to
his official duties during the last two or
three years, and his death was alrost
daily expected. Some months ago, how
ever, marked Improvement in his con-
dition was reported and since that time
there had been no warning OF the ond,
which came unexpectedly.
So unexpected was his death that the
members of his family who were in the
city and even some members of the family
in an adjoining room were not present at
his bedside until after he had breathed his
last. There had been no indications OF
late of immediate trouble. At ; O'Clock
the nurse observed some unfamiliar
symptoms and two of his sons who were
in the house were summoned and physi-
clan sent for. Within fifteen minutes, he
only ones ut his bedside. Even they did
not realize the extent of his trouble until
he had ceased to breathe.
Physicians who arrived shortly after his
death made every effort to resuscitate
him, but it soon became evident that the
spark Of life was absolutely ey tinct.
The President officially announced the
death of Admiral Porter in the following
message to Congress:
80 THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRE-
sENTATIvEs: The admiral of the navy,
David Dixon Porter, died at his residence
in the city of Washington this morning Mt
e:l5 O'Clock, IN the seventy eighth year
OF his age. He entered the naval service
as midshipman Feb. 2, 1929, and had
been since continuously in service, having
been made admiral Aug. Is, 1870. He
was the son of Commodore David Porter,
one of the greatest of our naval command
ers. His service during the civil war was
conspicuously brilliant and successful,
and his death ends very high and hon
orable career His countrymen will sin
cerely mourn his loss, while they cherish
with grateful pride the memory of his
