Hn rnoled GenernI Orant.

81 came very near being hanged for n
spy during the civil war" said Captain L.
C. LaAotte, member of the Little Hatchet
club, that was holding forth at the South
ern. 81 was on the losing side during
the rebellion, and was frequently detailed
for special duty. got into Grants camp
shortly before the battle of Shiloh, acquired
the information I was in quest of and was
ready to return, when the hero of Fort
Donels0n ordered me brought before him.
I was personating a deaf mute beggar, and
had given my place of residence as Cincin-
natl. As / entered the generals tent in
charge of a sergeant he removed his cigar
and looked me over critically. His gray
eyes seemed to look me through and
through. Then he turned to his adjutant
and said That fellow is a spy. Have him
searched and Imprisoned. rs ne spoke
the sergeant fired pistol directly back OF
my head. My nerves were well braced
and never flinched. The general stroked
his stubby beard, and I could see that his
conviction that l was spy was shaken
He took up a pad of paper, wrote on it rap
idlv a dozen questions about the city Of
Cincinnati and its leading people and
handed it to me.
II had spent three years in that city and
my answers were prompt and correct.
Pat him in the guardhOuse and report q.
said GTant-s,,s,; Jfe ordss was carried
out. That night when I was sleeping
heavily the sergeant entered the guard
house and fired pistol near my head. 1t
awakened me, but had presence of mind
enough not to open my eyes or stir. Then
he shook me roughly and told me the house
was on fire merely sat up and stared at
him vacantly. 'Quickl quick where are
your clothes?' he asked. fumbled about
and handed him my slate and pencil. He
left me, and the next morning 1 got per
mission to leave the camp. I had fooled
U. S. Grant, but he made mighty clos'
call for my scalp. st. Louis Globe-Demo

A Useful Mexican Tree.

A thread and needle tree sounds like a
fable, but the Mexican maguey tree fur
nishes not only needle and thread all
ready for use, but many other conven-
fences. Just outside the door Of a Mexican
home the beautiful tree stands, loaded
with "clustering pyramids Of flowers tow
erinR above dark coronals of leaves" and
at the tip Of each dark green leaf is slen-
der thorn needle that must be drawn care
fully from its sheath, at the same time
slowly unwinding the thread, a strong
smooth fiber attached to the needle and
capable Of being drawn out to great
length.
Among its other uses the roots of this
free, well prepared, are most savOry dish,
while with its leaves may be made a
thatching fit for a queen. And no prettier
sight can be met than the cottages Of Mex
lean peasants so exquisitely crowned. The
rich leaves also afford a material for paper,
and from the juices is distilled a favorite
beverage. From the heavier fibers the ma
tives manufacture strong cords and coarse
string cloth.-Harper's Young People.

Mrs. Harrison to Be Removed to Wash.
ington at Once.
Loon LAKE, Sept. 20.-A cold rain
began falling oyer Loon Lake shortly
after midnight and it continued steadily
until early morning. The sudden
change in temperature excited some ap-
prehension as to whether it would have
any affect on the condition of Mrs. Har-
rison but when DIR. Gardner came oyer
to the hotel from the presidents cottage
for his breakfast he reported that his
patient was better and stronger, having
passed comfortable and restful night.
According to the statements of those
about her there is little in Mrs. Harri-
sons present condition to excite serious
apprehension. With the non-appearance
of the dreaded watery accumulation in
the cavity of the pleura, hope has re-
viYed in the hearts of the patient and
members of her family and the sugges-
ton that she be moved from Loon Lake
to Washington will be carried out at
once. ....
A consultation was held between Drs.
Gardner and Trubeau and it was de-
cided to grant the wish of the president,
his family and Mrs. Harrison herself.
that she be taken to Washington. The
removal, it is now definitely stated, will
take place during the afternoon and the
train having the distinguished invalid
aboard will be due in Washington on
Wednesday morning.

Stevens County Auxiliary.


Tuesday, Sept. 18th, at 3 p m., the
Stevens County Auxiliary met in The
Morris hotel parlors, agreeable to adj
journment, Pres. Mrs. Nancy Judson
in the chair. We missed the presence
of thirty-seven members.
The president desired the Auxiliary
to take up the work of the county fair,
and was inspired with SO much feryor,
one and all were so enthusiastic, they
not only wanted to do something to
help in making the fair a success, but
think that possibly and probably they
will essay their best. Yes, ladies, we
hope visions of decorative art and de-
licious jellies, pickles, cake and bread
will creep into your dreams and arouse
you to a state of wakeful activity.
AS the prosperous farmers have had
Natures bounty, they should be gen
erous to the spirit of humanity. Let
them do all in their power to achieve
success, to have fair once we shall not
be ashamed of. Bring your engravings,
oil paintings, rare prints, your fine
needle work, and everything to adorn
and beautify, as well as the domestic,

A Washington Pi,ysicinn Says Mrs. Har-

WAsH;NGToN, Sept 15.-"The recov-
cry of Ails. harrison is impossible, " said
one of the Leading physicians of Wash
iugton.
"Of course. her physicians will not
acknowledge this fact without reserva-
tions, but the president and the people
should know the actual condition of the
wife of the president. can explain it
to you very simply. Mrs. Harrison had
tuberculosis of the right lung and sub
acute pleurisy, with rapid effu-
sion of water. Now, the
pleura is sereous membrane. It is
like double sack, and each separate
pleura encloses lung. In this case the
right pleura is filing with water 1t is
a sack of two thicknesses, and between
its serous walls there is an accumula-
tion of water. AS the pleura swells it
presses upward upon the lung and
causes suffocation. The right apex of
the lung is hardening. The apex of the
lung is under the collar bone.
1t is supplied with less blood
than the lower parts OF the lung,
and, consequently, less nutrition.
1t is the weakest point. The pressure of
fluid in the pleura prevents expansion of
the lung and frequently causes sudden
collapse of the lung. Tapping the pleura
releases the accumulated fluid, and re-
lieves the lung. But every tapping is a
traumatic or surgical snock to the pa
tient. The loss Of blood each time
weakens her, These tapping are only
made when it is certain that the patient
win die without such relief. The result
is only to prolong life few hours. The
unfortunate lady is now in such con-
dition that her recovery is absolutely

Why are so many Irish-Americans
found in the ranks of the free trade
party, which is fighting England's
battle today, and as Irishmen have
done for centuries in the British armys
Previous to the year 1900 Ireland en-
ioyed the advantages of protective
tariff, and Irish industry expanded
and hourished grandly. But after the
union with England, Ireland came
within the influence of the selfish sys-
tenn of Cobdenism, which sought the
advancement of British manufactur-
ers, even at the cost of the total de-
struction of the industries of Ireland.
England set to work to deliberately
ruin those of her sister island, and
this is how she did it: She levied a
higher tariff ON goods sent from Ire
land to her than Ireland was privil-
eyed to levy ON English goods enter
ing Irish ports, as can be shown by
statistics of that date.
In 1883 Lord Glare said of the con-
dition of Ireland: "There is not civ
ilized nation ON the face of the habit
able globe which has advanced in eul-
tivating, in agriculture and manufac-
lures with the same rapidity in the
same period as has Ireland"
This statement was made seventeen
years before England got possession
of Ireland. What is the Ireland of
today, after nearly a century of British
tariff legislation? She has not man
ufacturing industry worthy the name.
Her people, forced to depend solely
upon the soil for subsistence, and pc
riodically dependent upon the worlds
charity to keep them from starvation,
and her population reduced to half
what It was before she came under the
accursed system. -...-.
And again, what did Mr.. Parnell
say in regard to protection in and for
Ireland? He said: "This question of
protection of the industries of Ireland
is one of vital Importance for the ma
ton. We have to consider the inter-
est Of the artisans of the towns and
of the laborers in the country, and as
l have already stated, it is my firm
belief that it will be impossible for us
to keep this great portion of the labor
ing classes at home, and in comfort,
without protection to Irish industries.
The life of Ireland is dependent upon
the preservation of her bone and sinew
The population of Ireland has dimin-
ished at the rate of a million decade
during the past forty years. Its time
that that should be put stop to, and
that it should be possible for the la
borers, the artisans and the mechanics |
of Ireland to live at home, prosperous

vote for protection.
