THE TERRIBLE DOUGLAS.
An Interesting Incident of the Period OF
King Edward L., of England.

King Edward l., of England.
"Aunt Susie" in Atlanta constitutional
You will say what queer names
those are. Well, l suppose they do
sound SO to us, but in the olden
times it was very customary to give
expressive names to people of rank.
King Edward l., Of England, was
known as "Longshanks." He had
nearly conquered Scotland, but
death came little too soon, and on
his deathbed he called his son, Ed
ward H., and made him promise to
carry on the war.
He then ordered that after his
death his body should be boiled in
acauldron and thathis bonesshould
be wrapped up in a bulls hide and
carried at the head of the army
when they went to fight the Scotch.
OF course his son paid no attention
to this request, but had him buried
in Winchester Abbey, and then
spent so much of his time in foolish
dissipation that he allowed the
Scotch to recover Scotland after
his father had nearly conquered it.
James Lord Douglas was a very
wise and long-headed man. He
was the strongest foe the Edwards
had to contend with, and he proved
toopowerful for the second Edward.
He recovered castle after castle, but
there was one very great stronghold
and he knew it could only be taken
by surprise, for he had so often out
witted the English that they were
constantly on the lookout.
This castle was the tall Scotch
castle Roxburgh, just on the bord-
er. Now Black Douglas wondered
how it could be done. Very near
the castle was a gloomy old forest
and in it early one spring he con-
cealed sixty picked men.
One night there was to be a great
merry-making in the castle; it was
Fasten's eve, just before the great
church festival Of Lent, and the
whole garrison had leave to cele-
brate the occasion in the big hall
to drink and be merry. The SUI
had gone down and the long, deeI
shadows began to fall on the forest
One of the officers wives wanting
to quiet her little child and put i
to sleep, retired from the noise anG
confusion of the hall, and went way
up on the top, or battlements, of thu
castle, where one could sit there anC
see all over the country for miles.
There she sat and sang to he,
baby a little song that was very com
mon. The name Of Black Douglas
had become so terrible to the En-
glish that itproved bugbear to tho
children, for when they were baC
they were told that Black Dougla
would get them, so this was the son!
she sang:
"Hush We, hush We, little pet hush We.
Hush We, do not fret We; the Black Douglas sha
not get ye."
Suddenly she thought she say
some strange objects moving acros
the level space that separated tn
castle from the forest-they diC
not look like animals, and yet the,
seemed to have four legs. She ask
edasentinel, who was walking neal
what those queer-looking thing
werc. He strained his eyes to see
and carelessly replied they wer
some farmers cattle that he had fol
gotten to put up, and SO sure was h
that they were cattle, that he cease
towatch them. To the woman, how
ever, they seemed to disappear un
der the outer works of the castle
ndsheresumed hersinging. Lou
ard clear her voice rang out on tn
evening air:

RANDOLPH ROGERS.

Death of the Eminent American Sculptor
In Rome-A Victim of the Epidemic
Some of the Notable Works He Pro-
<duccd.
RoNE, Jan. 16.-Randolph Rogers,
the distinguished American sculptor,
died of pneumonia.
Randolph Rogers was born in the state Of
New York in 1925. The earlier portion of his
lie was passed in mercantile pursuits, but he
eventually came to this country and became a
sc1lpter. After few years of study and work
here he returned to New York with the statues
Of ~Nydia- "A Boy and Dog" and others. In 1853
Mr. Rogers designed and modelled the bronze
i3ccrs- representing scenes in the life of Column
BUS, for the eastern entrance to the capitol at
Washington Later he worked several years in
finishing the designs for the Washington monu-
zzae.lt at Richmond, Va, including statues of
Mason, Nelson and the two Marshalls and he
also executed statue of John Adams.

the late Mr.. Rogers other notable
wurks are 1.-The Angel of the Resurrection

8 colossal soldiers memorial monument for the
state OF Rhode Island, erected at Providence in

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
Etkins' Company Obtains Important
Concessions.

Concessions.
There is much suggestiveness in the
fact that in the letting of the sealsl<in
monopoly the company which let Mr..
Steven b. Ellzins in on the ground floor
got the contract over the company with
Blocks of-Five Dudley on the ground
floor, though the Indiana people offered
two million dollars for the contract
over and above the other bid. There is
no reason to doubt that this was due to
the influence of Ellxins with the secre-
tary of the treasury. with whom he
was closeted at the time.
1t will be remen bered that the con-
nection of Ellzins with the successful
bidders was kept secret. and that it
only came out after Ell1ins had visited
Blaine and had attempted to prevent
an arrangement with England for stop
ping the killing of seals. The Repub-
lies Washington correspondent is in
formed that Gen. A. Is. Nettleton, now
assistant secretary of the treasury,
offered to guarantee the contract to the
Indiana bidders, provided they would
set apart one million dollars of their
stock for person not to be named or
known" 1t appears that the offer was
not received with sufficient warmth.
At any rate. the contract went to the
lower and worse bidder, the North
American Company" of which Mr..
Elkins is the private and confidential
agent on ground-foor terms.
Like his friend in the state depart
ment. the secretary of war finds it per
fectiy natural to make all he fairly can
when his political influence gives him
the entrance to the ground floor of any
enterprise. 1t is altogether probable
that he is on more ground floors than
any other man in American politics.
At all times, he is very interesting
person. and later on he is likely to grow
more interesting than ever.-St- Louis
Republic.

LA GRIPPE.

The grippe is raging in the west not
to such an extent as in the east, but
still the mortality in this section is great
enough in all conscience. The best
medical authorities unite in saying that
the proper treatment for it is a stimu-
liant. In Europe they prescribe brandy.
Some physicians here give whisky and
quinine, and some anti-pyrine. Whis-
ky and quinine will result in deafness,
and ultimately in insanity. Anti
pyrine is liable to affect the heart dam
gerously, and should therefore be used
with great caution. The best remedy
for this malady is REDS GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t
does not affect the brain iniuriously,
nor the heart, but it will assist the
stomach in maintaining its normal
tone, and it will extcrminate all mi
crobes. 1t soothes the lungs, and ex-
cites the kidneys to action. If taken
when the grippe makes its first appear
ance it will absolutely stop it. 1t has
been tried in thousands of cases and
has never failed. Get it of any dealer.

PENSION REFORM.

The Society of Loyal Volunteers Will At
tack the Present Pension System from
the Standpoint of Loyalty and Patriotism
The Society's Creed-Men Who Are
Able to Earn Living Should Not he
the Recipients of the Nations Bounty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-An attack is
to be made in the present congress up
on the pension laws with the hope of
reducing the annual expenditures in
this direction from S1*3. 600, 900 to S53,
900. 900 or, at most $4,000, 900. The
movement will be inaugurated by the
members of congress-, but will be the
work of an organized body of loyal
soldiers who believe that reform is nee
cessary and that millions are being
expended annually for pensions to
men who have no right to the
money. The cardinal principal
of this organization is a competency to
those permanently disabled or unable
to earn living. and nothing to the
men who can, either by their hands or
their brains, support themselves and
their families. The organization which
proposes this resolution in pension mat
tiers had it's inception in Washington,
where it has been working for some time,
quietly but effectively. 1t is known as
the Society Of Loyal Volunteers. The
association believes in teaching and
maintaining, among other things, these
lessons:
THAT the war was for the preserva-
ton of the union and not for conquest
or revenge; that the volunteer armies
were inspired by no hope of individual
gain or glory; that many per-
sons as loyal and brave rs those
who entered the service were
prevented from doing SO by circum
stances that did not hinder their COM
panions; that victories were gained by
the loyalty, courage. endurance and
loyal inspiration of the whole people;
that armies were recruited from
all classes and vocations; that
the vast majority of the volun-
teers were men of good character,
but some were bad. and that this class
of men do not hesitate to live on the
generous gratitude of the people
through payments made on pensions
obtained by fraud or at the expense of
the poor; that men who had the intelli-
gence, and persistent energy to win
battles by virtue of these same quail
ties of character are able to compete
| successfully for the rewards of civil
| life with those who did not enter the
service; that many who sustained Sc
we're wounds and almost all who re-
| tanned their health. suffered no impair
ment of their ability to care for the
support of themselves and their fami-
| lies"

manner in which it got there is thus
explained: Buddha, the great deity.
while hermit on the earth. got lost in
the forest one day. In great anxiety
he wandered about until he met

your left hand path, and it will lead
you out of the Forest
ST am greatly obliged to you," said
Buddha, but unfortunately am very
poor and very hungry, and have moth

kindness"
'.If you are hungry. returned the
hare. II am again at your service.
Make fire, kill me, roast me and eat
me-"
Buddha built q fire, and the hare
jumped into it, but instead of eating it,
he prayed that the generous animal
might be placed in the moon, and
there 1t has remained ever since.
The North American Indians have
many pretty traditions regarding the
people who live in the moon. Among
the Mandans the moon was regarded
as the residence of ''the old woman
that never dies" the goddess of maize
and of fruits, she who wears a
white band from the front to the
back of her head" She is said to have
six children, three sons and three
daughters. The eldest son is the day,
the second is the sun, and the third is
the night. The eldest daughter is the

Bird. She was the daughter of a chief.
and all the young braves wanted to
marry her. but she had no love only
for her father, and would not listen to
their addresses. At last her father
died, and Ne-she-kay- be-nais felt
all alone in the world. Then she
looked up to the full moon, and cried:
Would that l had such as thee to love,

The BLAINE MYSTERY.
1t Seems Likely That the Secretary VIII
Not Be a Candidate.

1t Seems Likely That the Secretary VIII
Not Be Candidate.
Mr.. Blaine is not reaching vigorous
old age, frosty but kindly. Recurrent
illnesses sap his physical strength and
confirm the hypochondriac tendency of
his mind. The buoyancy and audacity
of his earlier years are lacking, and
since 1884, as was discovered in his
Florence letter concerning the nomina-
ton of 1888, he breads trying ordeal,
of which there can be none greater to
high-strung organization than per-
sonal candidacy for the Office of presi-
dent 1t is not surprising, therefore,
to see in n pronouncedly Blaine organ
a statement from Washington that
1.-The belief tonight is that the under
standing that Mr.. Blaine would not &C
cept the unanimous nomination for the
presidency will be confirmed. 1t will
not be by any letter or by public
declaration. Those who are in his con-
6dence say there is no occasion for
anything of this kind. They simply
think 1t enough to have it known that
he does not consider favorably the idea
of risking his health by undergoing the
fatigues and irritations of a presiden-
tial contest. They realize that the re-
publican party OF the whole country
would prefer Mr.. Blaine to be its
candidate, and that this preference has
right to find expression. But they
say this does not necessarily mean a
nomination. 1t leaves the Blaine sup
porters in every section of the country
free to judge for themselves what is
best"
1t is entirely possible that Mr.. Harri-
son has long understood this situation
and will ultimately benefit by the
studied silence of the secretary regard
ing nomination which, not unnatur-
ally, Harrison hopes may fall to him
self. Mr.. Blaine IN this need has
served as stop-gap for his chief, keep
ing host of aspirants from field into
which no doubt they would gladly
crowd. Reed. of Maine, would like to
regard himself as a possibility. Gull
lom, of Illinois, is not without aspira
ton. Allison. of Iowa, has long had
hopes. Sherman, of Ohio. will not dis
miss belief that the republican party
will yet turn to him, while Mckinley
may rightly regard himself as in one
respect the true exponent of the re-
publican party. All have been COM
PEELED to retreat before the greater
popularity of Blaine, whose real plan
may be to aid Harrison.
If his ambition was personal Blaine
could hardly continue in the Harrison
