HOW WOMEN SPOIL lT.
Your Brilliant Conversation Marred by
Their "Previousness."

Your Brilliant Conversation Marred by
Their nervousness"
One of the meauest of conversations
tricks is a favorite one with women. A
fellow has something real nice and clever
to say; he is rounding up nicely to it,
when some chit of a woman takes a
gasp and says; "Oh. yes! know what
you mean," and, by lingo, says it. Of
course she gets all the credit. do hate
a woman like that. She Is the kind of
woman who sayss "Ah, yes!" and then
goes off into a poetic illustration of the
fact you have ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
nice and dreamy that she never could
have said by herself. 1 hate that sort
of woman. making herself seem so
clever and bright and poetic and all
that from your brains.
She laughs before you have got your
funny story out, and says: Eyes, isn't
it funny?" 1t makes it so easy for you
to go on, that does. Actually, some
times she will finish it for you. That is
the kind of woman hate, too. She is
always coming in with a Yves, but"
and upsetting what you have said, or
else hauling out another side of it that
you didn't mean to have brought up.
hate women like that. say let wom-
en- learn to cook and sew frills, not
talk like idiots.
There is another woman I must not
forget to mention. She has genius for
just one thing. She will dislocate any
conversation by coming in with some
insane, irrelevant speech that leaves
you sprawling. Your ideas will be sail
ing beautifully and she will make re-
mark that settles dead calm. Every
body will be with you, gud in she will
put her word, and the whole thing is
gone to pieces. Oh, hate women like
that, and there are so many of them!-

The Wrong Hog.

A Rhode Island soldier while on
picket guard was rushed upon by a
party of confederate cavalry. He fire d
at the foremost of them and ran. Be-
fore him was an open field about fifty
rods across, bounded by an old log
fence, and beyond that a tbicket of
briers and underbrush. For this bushy
retreat the soldier started, half-dozen
horsemen after him. Fortunately for
the fugitive, the rains had softened the
soil, and the horses slumped through
the turf so badly that pursuit was slow.
A pistol ball passed Through the run
ner's hat, but he reached the fence, and
with one bound landed on the top, in
tending to give a long spring ahead !;
but the old fence crumbled beneath his
weight and down he went. But luck
favored him again, for hog had rooted
out gutter at this point, and at the
moment was lying in it. The soldier
fell plump into the hole, and the fright
ened hog uttered one squeal and
scampered into the underbrush, leaving
the newcomer in possession of the wal
low and buried underneath the debris
of the fence. A minute more and up
dashed the horsemen. Hearing the
rustic of the fleeing hog in the bushes,
they supposed it to be the picket, and
dashed through the gap in the fence
and fastened on. When they were all
out of sight, the fugitive crawled out of
the mud-hole and ran back to camp.
The following day one of the same
horsemen was taken prisoner. Our
hero recognized him at once. Il say"
he asked, "did you catch that hog
yesterday" "We did that" retorted
the prisoner, but it wasn't the one we
were after. y Youths Companion.

Not Instantly Killed.

AT Stone River l saw an infantryman
struck between the shoulders by solid
shot. He was flung forty feet or more
and reduced to a pulp, and yet he lay
gasping thirty seconds after being
struck. AT second Bull Run the man
next to me on the right was shot
through the center of the forehead
We were kneeling. He had the gun to
his face and had fired the shot, and
cried out, "My God, Pm hitl" before
he fell over on his side. While we
were forming in battle line in the
streets of Fredericksburg a rifed shell
exploded in the ranks about twenty
feet away. One man was blown to
fragments-so completely wiped off the
face OF the earth that not finger of
him was to be found. The shell prob
ably exploded just as it hit him. The
man on his right had leg and an arm
blown off and was flung ten feet away
yet he was living and trying to speak
half minute later. The one on his
left was cut in two above the hips and
one OF his arms blown over the heads
ofthe second line just forming. This
mans eyes did not close for twenty
seconds. AT Spottsylvania a sergeant
on my right was shot through the heart
as the lines were advancing, The body
was afterward examined by the sur
geon, and he said the bullet had passed
through the heart. The man advanced
at least four steps after being hit, and
then clutched at sapling and said:
" Keep right on; I've been hit" He
must have lived fully thirty seconds
after receiving the shot. In the Gem
etery at Gettysburg three of us were
lying down behind monument which
had toppled over, and were using it as a
breastwork. The man on the left was
struck by some missile, probably a
fragment of shell, which uncovered The
whole top of his head. He laid his gun
aside, stood up at full height, and then
shrieked out and fell AS we turned
to him he raised his right arm and his
lips moved as if he were trying to give
us some message.-Ne,o York Sun.

Sixth Corps Reunion.

A committee of the Sixth Army
Corps, appointed to arrange reunion
in Washington during the encampment
this month has recently sent out an ad-
dress to the members of the corps.
The committee consists of Alfred G..
Bliss of the Second Connecticut Heavy
Artillery, L. A. Grant of the Old Yer.
mont Brigade, and Benjamin F. Worrell
of the First New Jersey Infantry. Re-
unions of the different divisions and
brigades, as well as one of the corps, will
be held. The address says: "They will
be held in commodious tents on Grand
Army Place, situated immediately ada
cent to the White House, as well as un-
der the shadow of the Washington mon
ument, on the bank of the famed Po-
tomac, and in view of Arlington, where
repose more than 10000 of our compan.
ions in arms who fell in defence of lib.
erty. Our old commanders will be pre-
sent to address us, and here we will
grasp each other by the hand, and fight
our battles over. The committee which
we represent cordially invites every sur
v1vlng member of our dear old corps to
be present on that occasion, as being
the last opportunity that we will prob
ably have to meet large body of our
surviving comrades. The city of Wash
ington will on that occasion greet the
odd Sixth no less heartily than it did
on the memorable 18th day of July,
1864, when we saved the city from de-
spoliation by Early's troops. Wash
ington is no longer a city Of mud, dust
and magnificent distances, but a grand,
well paved city of stately public build
ings and fine private elifces, eminently
worthy to be the capital of proud ma
ton which was perpetuated through the
blood of the heroes of 1S61-'65. To
this beautiful capital of 65,0OO,00 of
free people, endeared to every Union
veterans heart by the associations of
the civil strife, we urge you to make a
pilgrimage in September, there to ex-
tend to, and receive from, our old COM
panlons hearty greeting and tender
farewell"

serted itself. But before the visitor
had time to enter, Miss Margaret softly
whispered: " Child, remember, be true,
true in word, true in deed, true in
thought"
With word of cordial greeting, Mar
garet RAYMOND prepared to leave the
room, as James Foster advanced toward
Maud, who met him with outstretched
hands, bowed head, and earnest voice,
saying: James, forgive me, it was
false. l told you a society fb."
What followed Miss Margaret did not
wait to hear. But later in the evening,
as she stood by the window in her
dressing-room, looking out at the sea
sparkling in the silvery moonlight, and
up into the calm blue of the star-lit sky,
a quick, light step crossed the room,
warm arms were impulsively thrown
around her, and Maud, with a face
shining with new light and Joy, ex-
claimed: 81 cannot bear to be so glad
when l think of you, dear ."-Rose
Porter, in NeW York Observer.

TAKE WARNING!
NEGLECT NOT THE SIGNALS OF
DANGER.
An Object Lesson Taught by
the Indians.
Let the Way Be Simple and the
Remedy Safe.

If you are ailing, not exactly sick, but not
feeling "jHst right" have drowsy, dull
feeling, bad taste in the mouth, variable APP
petite, occasional pains in the joints and
muscles, and other signs of impending sick
ness, why not do as the Indian does-drive
such symptoms out of the system by the jul
dicious use of their vegetable remedy?
Don't neglect such warnings
That pain in your shoulder may develop
into rheumatism, and months sickness
deprive you of the income of your toll.
That furry tongue denotes your liver is
out of order, and typhoid fever would easily
take root in your system.
What could you do then?
Think OF your business, your income, and
your family.
Seek safety as you would fly from cholera
or smallpox
You are in danger if you neglect these
warnings. They may pass off, but the
chances are against you, and even then the
poison is only latent in your system
DO not, however, put your trust in the
numerous so-called sarsaparillas " with
which the market is flooded. Sarsaparilla
bark is not medicine, it is a faUoring,
nothing more. The action OF many of these
decoctions comes from mineral poisons they
contain, such as mercury, arsenic, strych-
nine, bismuth, iodide of potassium, and the
tells you truly, that this is so.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and other Kick
apoo Indian medicines contain only the
product of the field and forest, natures own
vegetable growth of roots, barks and herbs
and of necessity are free from all mineral
poisons whatever, because the Indians have
no knowledge of them, depending wholly
upon natures laboratory for their resources
and upon their skill, born of centuries of
experience, in preparing them.
ktckapoo Indian Sagwa, made by the
indians from roots, bdrks and herbs of their

druggist al one dollar per bottle Sir bottles

Not waiting for a reply, Miss Mar
garet continued: "A blank comes
now, it was all beyond words. After
wards, long afterwards, 1 heard the
history of that day on Maryland
Heights. Years followed, the war
ended, they said peace reigned. But
there was no peace in my heart; l was
so slow in learning submission, l
seemed to spell the lesson backward;
seemed to forget that l never could
learn it, till faith and patience met,
and there is only one place where they
can meet, and that is within the shadow
of the cross. When / sought that
refuge l found life held some
thing better even than happiness,
dear and beautiful as it is, and since
then it has been blessedness.
Later there came a stranger to
Greenport. He was a soldier, the
empty coat-sleeve told that. He asked
for me, and was pointed to my home.
: have message he said;' he babe
me and l knew the stranger meant
by he, my Ralph bring this-I found
it in the bullet-pierced pocket of his
coat; it rested on his heart And the
stranger handed me-oh-it was moth
ing, just a powder-backened torn
thing, a picture of myself But it had
rested on Ralph Gordon's heart"

WHY SHE WENT INTO MOURNING

Not Her Husband, Nor Brother, Nor Father
That Died, but Her Poodle.
She sat half languid in black Victoria In
front of Broadway establishment for fash
ionable mourning goods in New York. She
was young and handsome and dressed in
deep mourning. The coachman and the
footman were also in solemn black and bore
the facial appearance of professional under
takers. The horses were black, as was also
every bit of harness. The poodle at the
lady's feet was as black as the luxurious
robe on which he reclined-so nearly like
the robe was it, indeed, that but for the
blinking eyes that nervously followed the
movement of the passing throng it would
not have been seen. To say the sable outfit
attracted attention is putting it mildly. The
head of the mourning goods establishment
was evidently keeping 1t there as long as
possible. A gentleman paused and passed
polite words Of coincidence with the lady in
the carriage, who caressed the black poodle
with her shapely foot
"Poor fellowP' she sighed. "He took it
very hard"
Indeed? Did he then suffer 50 much ?"
"Oh, not much, perhaps; but, you know,
1t must have been very disagreeable.
"Well, yes, rather" said the gentleman,
with touch of satire in his voice.
"He kicked dreadfully at the last"
"sKicked, did hep" mused the gentle
man, with half smile "Well, well, we'll!
didn't think Jack would kick at such q
little thing as dying!"
"'Jackp you horrible man! I'm talking
about Fido! 1 don't believe you've noticed
him since we had him dyedr' and she gath
cred the shivering poodle up in her arms
Indignantly. "Poor little fellow! Good
morning, sir!'
