How They Paid Me For the
Irrational View"

If there is any heaven-and l
hope there is-there are people
who will take bee line for it just
as soon as they are dead, and
whether Jews, or Gentiles, OF
Rational,sts, they will get there
Just the same,i if they're honest.
You know l advertised that l
would sell my book "The Rational
View" at anything from 81 so to
so cents though they are all alike
Yesterday l had three orders for
it in about an hour.
One was from j. N. Massie, Of
Winchester, sending me $3.50 fol
the paper and my book:
Then Louis Adler, with a pedi-
gree plumb back to old Father
abraham. st opped me on the street
and said: "Here's 81 for your paper
and here's $3.50 for your book
and if you will come down to my
store, l will give you an ADVERTISE
ment."
Then Mrs. f. B. Wren, Chris.
tan and Prohibitionist said: ~
saw what you said but l dom
want your book for 30 cents" and
she handed me a dollar for it.
Right in the middle OF this
notice that l am now writing, Jno
T. Miller, one of our leading bust
ness men of the city, came into my
Office, and said: 81 saw what you
said in the paper but here's $1.5(
for "The Rational View"
Mr.. Miller met me the other
day and said: ~ am glad to see
you alive; all I've got to say is,
give it to them"
All of these people are going to
the same place when they die, and
want to go with them. / DOM

The Veterans Meet for Their First Annual Ee-
union.
The Reunion Of Co. G. 18th Mo-, at Washii G.
ton, Mo-, recently. will long dwell in the
memories Of the participants as one Of the
most pleasant incidents Of their lives. Co. q
was raised in Franklin County, its first Captain
being that gallant and efficient soldier, the late
Francis Wilhelmj, who, at the head of his
company, won the golden leaves OF a Major for
skill and bravery in the field. They left their
home over 90 strong, only about 80 Of whom
survive to enjoy the fruits Of their yalor.
year ago seven or eight Of the survivors
met at Union and decided TO have the Reunion
this year at Washington. Eighteen Of the
company aud four other members Of the regi-
mont met at Liberty Hall. the Post room of
JAS w. Owens Post, 332, which had been ten
dered TO them for that purpose. The hall was
appropriately dccked with bunting, and an cx-
cellcnt portrait Of their first Captain, Francis
Wllhelmj, loaned for the occasion by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Herman Wiesel, occupied a prominent
place.
Almost Immediately on assembling the old
veterans organized by eleCting Robert Reich
ard, Of Washington, President of the associa-
ton; Charles Walters, of New Haven. Secre-
tary, and Earnst Walters, of Labbadie, TTea-
surer.
On the motion Of Earnst Walters it was
resolved that Reunion OF the whole regiment
be held at Washington on the first Saturday
following the 10Th day Of October, 1892, and
that the Reunion DO advertised.
The veterans partO0k Of good, substantial
dinner, prepared by Mrs. Edmund krekel. and
then the fun began. Old army songs made
Liberty Hall ring, while "reminiscences Of cam
paigning days came thick and fast. Jokes
perpc.rated on each other, amusing accidents
aud cscapades, deeds Of bravery, long forgotten
In many instances came back 10 memories re-
freshed by association with old eompanions-in-
arms. Several were present who had not met
since they were mustered out, and the changes
in their personal appearance wero q constant
source Of remark.

serving ia the same division, aud part Of the
time in the same brigade, was called on, and

Mrs. Millions Ride.

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels forth In
state,
Her horses full OF fire and pride. go prancing by
the gate:
But all the beauties Of the day she views with Ian
quid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away her voice Is
but sigh.
For Mrs. Million Is in an advanced stage of
eatarrh. and all the luxuries that wealth can
buy fail to give her comfort. She enves her
rosy waiting-maid, and would give all her
blooming health. Now. if some true and dis
interested friend would advise Mrs. Million of
the wonderful merits Of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, she would learn that her case is not

faeturers for case of catarrh in the head which

On the evening previous We had hardly
noticed the wide panorama, but now we fully
enjoyed the grand and immense cXpause which
spread out before us. From our 10000 feet OF
altitude all minor mountains seemed but part
of the plain, while sea aud land were all a dead
level. The lakes and streams like silver threads
glistened in the light. Far away We could see

Here we found long incline completely de-
nuded Of snow where the avalanche had swept
down in the night. We fairly raced up this
open way aud at its top found that We had
reached what was known as 1.-The broken

crater, but the hole was SO snOw-coyered that
we could not tell.
From this point the path was steep, so much
