THE NHI~TLING FIEND.

The fat man. the man on the wood box,
the nervous passenger, the precocious
child. the gullible granger, the woman
with the handbook and the parrot cage
have all been written up, time aud time
again; hut it is safe to say the passengers
never suffered so much from comblnH-
ton of these necessary evils as dId the
patrons of Topeka avenue car yesterday
by the idiosyncracies OF young man that
was bound TO whistle. Thst IL what he
was born for. His mouth puckered Tor
that one purpose, and he whlstled. The
beautiful afternoon sunshine had no
charm for him; the elegant residences
along the line only attracted his attention
for second, without breaking that
whistle; and the bevy OF young ladies that
got On The car at Oak street and began to
talk about music soon gave it up. Bee
thovep, Gouuod, Mendelsohnn, even Wag-
uer never could have survived against that
horrible whistle. The young man was OF
the genus dude and as he wbistied he
sought positions in the car-of course he
stood up-where he could see from the
shadows of the window glass that
his coat was butJoned to the proper height;
that his hat was correctly crushed; that
there were no wrinkles III his gloves; that
no speck OF stock yards dust marred the
immaculate shine on his shoes; that the
pin was still in his scarf; that his lips
were artistically puckered; that every
young lady in the car looked at him, and
be whistled. Yes, he whlstled, long and
loud. Only a few bars OF each air, but the
passengers suffered from crooked notes oil

Boom-de.ay," "Rocka-bye- Baby" Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" Goodbye, My Love,

They suffered, and, through better man
ners than he had ever been taught, they
had to- That was all there was of IL.

VETERANS PASSING AWAY.
In Forty Years There VIII BE Few Sur
yiyors of the Civil War.

vivors of the Civil War.
Interesting in connection with the de-
partment encampment is the report of
the medical director, DR.. j. r. Hayes.
in part as follows, says the Washington
Post:
''Our annual death rate equals 2.75
per cent. of the whole number in the
Grand Army Republic in this depart
ment. This is equivalent to death rate
of twenty-seven in thousand, larger
death rate than usually pertains to any
given number of people. Our band of
nearly 1000 is being rapidly mustered
out, and if we apply the simple rules of
arithmetic, and provided that we re-
cruit no more, in the year 1880 not one
of our 4, 900 would be alive to tell the
story of the past.
I'VE are dying faster than any other
class of our population, because out of
the 1000 in our organization more than
one-half are daily suffering from loss of
limbs, from wounds, injuries and disa-
bilities contracted during the war. Re-
suits of prison-life and the exposure and
deprivation incident thereto now cause
more suffering than the bullet. Loss of
a limb shortens the life, but the rheu-
matism and scurvy contracted in prison
also yearly call for their premature VIC
TINS. Premature aging of all the or
gans, diminished vital resistance to all
disturbing causes, and more especially
diseases of the heart, now SO alarming
ly present with many surviving com
rades, are mainly due to the rheuma-
tism and scurvy of prison life.
81 have never seen survivor from
the prison at Andersonville, Ga, that
did not have disease of heart in some
form or other. So, taking our little
band of 1000 to-day, in about forty
years all who have lost limbs or been
seriously wounded or suffered the hard
ships and horrors of prison life will
have passed away"

Notice to Band BOYS.

A committee from the Heller brass
band has called meeting to be held
in the DEMOCRAT Office, on Saturday,
July %, for the purpose of organizing
Barton County Band Reunion, !"
and urge upon every band in the
county to have representation at that
meeting. The idea is good one, and
our band boys in all parts of the
county should attend the meeting or
send representative. They can fix a
time and place to get together in some
pleasant grove, and have a jolly time,
as well as exchange experiences, form
acquaintance. etc.

HIS MOTHERS BIBLE.
The Book on Which President Cleveland
Took the Oath of Office.

Took the Oath of ONCE.
Among the relics stored away in the
clerks Office of the supreme court of the
United States, writes Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Times,
is a handsome morocco-covered Bible of
large octave size. 1t is the Bible that
was purchased eight years ago to adj
minister the oath of Office to President
Cleveland at his Inauguration on March
4. 1t had been the invariable custom
before the Inauguration of Mr.. Cleve-
land to purchase a Bible for use at the
inauguration ceremony and to present
this interesting memento afterward to
some member of the presidents family.
Following this custom, the clerk pur-
chased Bible to use in the Inaugural
ton of President Cleveland, but Mr..
Cleveland notified the committee Of ar
engagements of the senate that he wished
to take the oath on the Bible given to
him by his mother when. as young
man, he started out in the world to
make his fortune. The committee nat
urally respected this sentiment Of the
president-elect and so Mr.. Cleveland
took the oath on his mothers Bible. 1t
was small book, morocco bound and
gilt-edged. So far as is known here,
Mr. Cleveland still has the book, and in
the belief that it viii be used at the
coming ceremony the clerk of the SUI
preme court has not purchased a
Bible to be used on that occasion. 1t
was planned four years ago to use the
Bible purchased in 1885 at the ceremony
of 1889; but after considering the mat
ter the clerk determined to purchase
another Bible for Mr.. Harrison.

ALLIGATOR SHOOTING.
an Exciting Sport Which Is Pursued I

Exciting Sport Which Is Pursued In
Darkness.
Mr.. Kirk Munroe describes in the
Cosmopolitan canoe trip in company
with two young Seminole Indians, Mic
cochee and Kowika, who We're engaged
in their regular occupation Of hunting
alligators for their hides. The canoe
was dugout, made by Miccochee him
self out of huge cyprus log. The trio
made camp late in the afternoon, and
after awhile Mr.. Munroe discovered
what he had not before uspected-that
the hunting was to be done at night.
Darkness had hardly fallen before
the believing of a1ligators was heard
sound much like the roar of an angry
bull. Miccochee listened with evident
satisfaction. "A1lapatta plenty. Me
catch 'em, Uncah!''
We had killed five OF the monsters
when we turned our prov up stream.
Miccochee welded his push pole from
the stern, Kowika sat IN the middle of
the canoe, while 1, with jack light on
my head and rifle in hand, occupied the
position of honor in the bow.
The alligators had ceased their NUT
terings and had begun to think that
we had killed or frightened them al.
Just then I was startled by slight
motion on the bank but few yards
away. At the same instant two Goals
of fire cleaned through the blackneSS.
What could they be? 1 was about to
speak, when a sharp 'hist'' from be-
hind told me that the moment for
action had come. Taking hasty aim
at one of the lurid Goals, 1 fired.
The report of the rifle was followed
by such a wild rush into the water, such
whirling and splashing, such showers
of spray and bloody foam that it was
as if small cyclone had been dropped
from the heavens into that quiet spot.
Little ,Kowika screamed in his excite
ment, but Miccochee only expressed his
! displeasure at my bad shot by mutter-
| ing: "Ho-le-wa-gus! Heap bad!''

Engineering skill.

Speaking of the remarkable feats of
marine engineers, the Marine Journal
recalls the achievement of Richard
Peck, who at one time had charge Of
the single engine of the old City of Vera
Cruz coming up from Havana South
of Hatteras the piston rod went to
smash, breaking into three pieces But
Peck, after twenty-four hours of con-
tinuous labor. actually mended that
piston so that it was strong and true
enough to do its part with the rest of
the machinery, and he brought his ship
into New York harbor steaming six
knots This was a deed which, in the
opinion of the Boston Journal, quite
eclipses even the recent notable per-
