l;ctating Is his adjutant general Ads

debating to his adjutant general Ai6a
and clerks were all busy, when sudden
" an apparition appeared before them.
It was evidently soldier. but bare
headed, his hair and face begrimed
with powder and so covered with thick
dust that, saturated with rocking per-
spiration, it ran into mud and gave
him the appearance Of wild Indian.
The hue of his clothing had evidently
once been blue, but it was covered
with dirt and to all appearances fresh
ly torn into shreds His audacity in
appearing in such a plight before the
general and his staff without even ask
ing permission was the first wonder,
but when he did so with the exclama-
ton: 81 am no coward, general!' sur
prise gave way to the indulgent im-
preston, another poor fellow gone
daft, perhaps affected by the heat.
"Well, who said You were? What do
you want here? See to him, adjutant. "
quickly spoke the general and again
turned to his work.
What is the matter, sir? Don't you
know better than to intrude yourself
this way in the presence of the gen
eral?" asked the aid. Speak up at
once, sir.
II am no coward, don't want to be
shot for coward, the poor fellow con-
tinued pleadingly. What am I to do?"
he asked, wiping the trucking CRIME
and mud from his face and forehead
with the remnants Of the sleeve Of his
old wooden shirt Then, more compos-
eddy, he related how he was being tried
for cowardice by q court-martial down
the gnlch over there" how tremen-
dous mortar shell had dropped, explod-
ing and interrupting the proceedings.
knocking him over, tearing his cloth-
ing, mutilating his body to some extent,
and had left him half dead and half
buried; how he had come to, and, look
ing about, could see no one Of the offi-
GERS before whom he was ut the
time being tried for his life: and
SO he had come to the general to ask
what he should do and to tell
him he was no coward. A hurried IN
vestigation proved the truth of the poor
fellows story. The shell had exploded
in close proximity to the court, but the
accused was the only one who had suf-
fered other inconvenience than des-
perate shock of the nerves. Every mem
Der of the court had excitedly taken
himself to more secure place and be-
fore they had recovered their compla-
cency sufficiently to remember that they
had left the prisoner on the ground, tho
latter had reported to the general by
whose order he was being tried. 1t was
q lucky fall for the soldier. The COM
mander thought he had shown more in
trepidity than the officers who were try
ing him. He ordered him to report to
the captain of his company for duty.
The hour that, had it not been for the
interposition of the enemy, might have
marked his death as craven saw him
restored to the confidence of his COM
RACES. A few days afterwards he gave
proof that this confidence had not been
misplaced. He fell with his face to the
foe, in the assault that followed the
famous mine explosion, q hero.-Omahs

SOARING TRAVELLERS AWAY.

Extortionate Hotel Charges In Holland
Keep Strangers at . Distance.
Considering how near Holland is to
England, comparatively few tourists
visit the former country. This may be
explained by the fact that life is alb
surdly, unjustifiably dear. The hotel
accommodation is not particularly
good, and the charges are double those
made in Belgium. This is the more
extraordinary as the cost of materials
for living is cheaper in Holland than
in Belgium. The proprietor of one
hotel at Brussels has been chef at one
of the principal hotels at The Hague
for several years. He therefore knew
exactly the cost of living in both
towns. Holland, having vast colonies,
has sugar, spice, coffee, tea and many
other articles cheaper than Belgium.
Meats and butter are also cheaper.
Nevertheless, where in Belgium the
traveller will pay at q restaurant a
franc for dish, he will be charged
form in Holland, and this is just
double as much. Instead of two, three
or four francs for room in hotel, it

WOMEN SHOULD KEEP BOOKS.

It Encourages Habits of Economy and
Good Judgment.
Whether woman is poor or rich it
behooves her to acquire methodical
business habits, keeping her little ac-
counts accurately and knowing to a
cent just what she does with her money,
whether she has ten cents or ten dol
lars to expend on her own little per-
sonal wants. An allowance is the first
step toward this end, if at the same
time it is impressed upon her that every
sum spent should be set down with un-
failing regularity. In black and white
one notes how much more easily the
money can be spent, how quickly it
goes and just what foolish little Moth
ings have lured it from our pockets.
Without setting down each item it is
ten chances to one that you will con-
clude that you must have lost some
money when you can not see how that
ten-dollar bill went when you only
bought such few things The neat
little figures are genuine restraint,

economy is a necessity, and the dollar
has to be forced into doing duty for

Unless the accounts are kept ac-
curately, and cash made to balance

ShOd methods are worse than none and
only confuse everything rather than
help matters. If anything is worth do
ing at all, it is worth doing well, and
there is nothing so productive of future
good as the habit of looking carefully
out for the pennies when school days are
the only trials, and the allowance of
fifty cents a week goes for candy and
pickles. If this plan is once established
in childhood, the girl will grow to wom-

Farming Ont Of Railroad Damage Suits.
"A new enterprise of some account is

railroad damage suits. Three years

Fighting Flickers.


On a Pennsylvania farm pair OF
saickers had nest in hole in the
trunk of dead elm tree A large
hawk had the habit of alighting on a
stub of the tree to eat its prey, and,
once it did so, the fickers came piping
put of their domicile, darted viciously
at the hawk and drove it from it's
perch. The hawk soon forgot the de-
feat, for next day itsettled there again,
and once more the hickers gave battl
and made it take to fight. Butthe hawk
was persistent, and would return in
spite of repeated thrashings. So one
day the farmer hid in some bushes and
shot it with q rifle. The big bird
lodged in crotch, forty feet from the
ground, and the hickers darted at it
from side to side, and. kept constantly
squalling, until the farmer sent his
hired man to throw it down The
hawk was alive, but both Of it's eyes
hadsbeen put out by the angry flickers
while it lay futtering in the crotch.

A dish of peaches is better than

difference of opinion as to whether or
not the fuzz on the skin is injurious,
but the doctors agree that the ripe
peaches rank with the best of summer
foods. Seed fruits, particularly figs,
Strawberries, blacl1berries and cram
berries, aid degestion; grapes, grape
fruit lines and oranges are prime
apperients; apples, dates, melons, cher
ries and plums are nourishing and re-
freshing, but peaches are a tonic, an
or, to put it briefly, they are meat and
medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches, with sugar and cream, bread
and butter, and, considering the un-
wholesome character of the water sup
ply just now it is a lunch for man and
child. After a repast of this sort the
individual will feel more like attend
ing to the duties of the afternoon. than
if he or she INDUCED in heavy food.
Peaches are good before breakfast and
after dinner; they are good for the di-
gestion, good for the blood and good
for the complexion. Some people eat
them without cream or sugar, and with
good result. The fruit is so rich in SUI
gar and acid that it preserves its flavor
long while, but to get the full benefit
it should be eaten as soon as it is cut.
Richness of the nose, due to conges.

and bilious tedcncies are said to be ma

fruits are always advisable, but the
peach in season, used as an alternate
with plums cherries, melons and Der.

complexion. This is a peach year. The
