A Joke on the Chaplain.

On one occasion, while executing change
of base, our mail facilities became demon
allied, and for some days we did not get
letter. At every opportunity the boys, who
had become quite nervous over the pro
longed delay, would appeal to the good
chaplain for letter from home. Failing
to get one, they invariably began to fire
questions as to the cause Of the failure or
endeavor to get some explanation. tt was
of course Fart of the business of the chap
lain to comfort Or encourage the men. He
did all he could in this direction, but in tin
army patience soon ceases to be a virtue,
even with preachers.
The chaplain became tired of answering
81 many questions. The same stereotyped
reply, day after day, II do not know any
thing about the nails" finally irritated
HIN SO that he shut himself up in his tent
ard refused to see any one. He was adj
vised to place printed notice on his quar-
tiers to the same effect, so that all anxious
inquirers could sec for themselves and not
annoy him. He finally procured the top
board of cracker box and with piece of
charcoal from his campfire wrote in plain
letters the following notice and nailed it to
a tree i'll conspicuous place: 1.-THE chaplain
don't know anything about the mails"
A wag coming along, observing the sign
and also the charcoal, dryly added under
the chaplaiD's words, 'And don't care
d." .-On the Warpath.

The wounded man had lifted himself by
an almost superhuman effort, and his
great dark eyes showed plainly in the midst
of his pallid face The false friend could
not look into those eyes, and he turned his
head away. the gathering darkness hiding
his face.

Passed Quietly Awar.

DIED-At her home In Great Bend,
Monday. April II, 1898, of dropsy,
MRS. E. c. RANKIN, aged 81 years,
S months and Ie days.
Mrs. Rankin had been a sufferer
with dropsy for several months past,
and despite of all that medical aid
could do finally Iassed to the world
beyond. She was among the oldest
settlers in this city, having come here
from Lucas county, Iowa, in the
seventies, and making this her home
since that time. She was kind and
loving mother and faithful christian
woman. She buried her husband in
November, 1892. Four daughters
and three sons, all full grown, deeply
mourn the loss of that best of friends,
a mother.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church at 2 p. M, April
18th, and the last sad rites attended
by large number of people.
The knock of death at last was heard
And the gate Of life was opened wide;
The looked for summons by solemn word,
Came rolling in like the quiet tide
That washed away the useful life
Whose shining light, like FURNISHED gold,
Shone brightly DER her days of strife,
And of His love sweetly told.

starving to death, every individual
potato slyly winks its eye, every cab
bage mods its head, every beet gets red
in the face, eveay squash crooks its
neck, every fruit tree groans under
its load, every field of wheat is shocked,
the rye strokes its beard, every cora
aches and every foot of land kicks.
