THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
In the Burning Heat and Freezing
Cold He Sticks to His Post.

In the Burning Heat and Freezing
Cold He Sticks to His Post.
To know the American soldier we'll
you must toll with him over the des-
ert trail where the sun beats holly
down on the dry and verdureless earth,
and the dust rises in white clouds that
hide the column from view, and fills
the eyes, the mustaches, the ears, the
mouth, with profanity and vexation.
Here is where his songs and jokes pro-
claim the stuff he is made of.
Then, when you are sent out with
him in the dead of winter in over
twenty inches of snow, your equip
ments and supplies on bobsleds, he it
is that dismounts time and again
without a murmur, pushing to help
the mules uphill, and repacking the
overturned sled a dozen times a day;
then, after all, digging his hole in the
snow, and putting up his tent at
night, all the time joking with the
"bunkie," and ready as ever to steal
a wisp OF hay or a handful OF oats for
his shivering horse.
He it Is that jumped into a boiling
hot spring to save the life OF the
daughter Of a private citizen, who was
q rich man, proffered the astounding
sum OF SIS and the government a gold
medal of honor; he that took a flat
bottomed boat out in a heavy sea in
New York harbor to rescue a drown
ing boy; that lost his life for his fidel-
ity in attempting to swim an icy
stream with dispatches; who single
handed, served a field-gun through an
action with bullet in his leg to hold
a position; he that you believe incap-
able of anything but "bucking faro"
and drinking strong LIQUORS.

HUSBANDS WHO RAN AWAY:
Two Of Them Whose Experiences
Differ Slightly In Details,

TWO OF Them Whose Experiences
Differ Slightly in Details.
There was a prominent business
man in Washington whose disappear
ance was recorded several years ago.
He walked out of the house after
breakfast one morning and did not
return. The newspapers recorded his
disappearance and the family was
distracted. At first the usual report
OF financial troubles started, but the
New York World says, this was found
to be groundless. Two years passed
without any word from the absent
man and then one morning he arrived
in a western town to which his family
had moved and told the story OF his
absence. The morning that he left
Washington hehad gone to the depot,
driven by an uncomfortable impulse,
bought a ticket for New York, and
boarded the train. Arriving in the
metropolis hetooka Liverpool steam
er. In Liverpool he walked from the
steamers dock to another wharf and
took passage on a sailing vessel with
out any idea ofthe ships destination.
When his normal senses returned to
him, after an interval oftwo years, he
found himself engaged as bookkeeper
on a big sheep ranch in New South
Wales, Australia. Therapeutic drop
ped his new situation as suddenly as
he had taken it up and retraced his
ravels back to America.
Another Washingtonian took q
similar trip abroad for five months.
with the difference that he did not
lose his senses. He was engaged in a
social game of poker with a number
of friends late ono night, and some.
what under the influence of cheerful
spirits other than those superinduced
by the excitement of the game.
Suddenly the door opened, his wife
walked in, seized her lesser half by the
ear and walked him home. AS she
was q woman of determined nature
he concluded that it was best to SUBJ
nit for the time. The next morning,
however, he went to the bank and
withdrew his entire investment of
$4,000 took the cars for New York,
then sailed to Liverpool, took ship
for South America and brought up in
Montevideo. All the time he was
pouring down various brands ofdrink
which would require an eighteen-carat
gold cure to eradicate. Just five
months after leaving home the man
opened his door one morning with q
1O-cent piece in his pocket and &C.
costed his wife with: "Mell. whathave
you to say about it, a%nyhow?" The
wife had her say, and then they 70.
sumed the even tenor of their ways.

Montreal, Oct. 11.-Nicholas Smith,
the United States consul at Three Rivers,
is under police protection at his residence
and serious trouble is feared. MI.
Smith in his report referred to the SAM
tary condition Of Three Rivers in q nam
ner d%ispleasing to the citizens Of that
place. Among other things Nh. Smith

tute the average family. Soap is practic-
ally unknown, and 1 have ut times

Smith be recalled.

Luxury Now and Then.

Luxury Now and Then.
When history informs us that Ro-
man patricians gave away public
buildings the size of several OF the
Worlds Fair buildings put together,
and rich with walls Of onyx, marbles,
crystal and gold plate. in successive
stories, just as a millionaire gives
away a town library, it seems as i
our people do not yet know much
about luxury, liberality or great for
tunes. It is a very common compll-
ment to the American millionaire to
accuse him of outdoing the Roman
Emperors in luxury and extrava-
gance, but the truth ls he isn't in sight
ofthose eminent art amateurs in eth
or pursuit. In popular phrase ne
can't hold a candle to n side OF the
Cesar familyfor spending money.

Musical enthusiasts often worry
their neighbors considerably in warm

fine. "In a health-resort," states the

The best thing to do
is this when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti-
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, Or Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
permanently. Don't shock the sys-
tenn with the ordinary pills-get
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest, for one thing
(but that's a great thing }, and the
easiest to take.
They're the best, for they work
in Natures own way-mildly and
gently, but thoroughly and effec-
lively.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.
What more can you ask?
But don't get something that the
dealer says is "just as good" h
may be better for him, but it's
pretty certain. to be worse for you.
