ON HIS POST
The Veteran Entertafns His Comrades
With story.

Sometimes" remarked the veteran as
the members of the Old Soldiers Club
pulled themselves together, sometimes
4 soldier may be caught asleep on his
post in dangerous place and not be shot
for it, but it isn't safe to take any risks.
l remember one night what happened
down in Georgia. We had been on a
weeks hard march over dreadful rough
country, getting mighty little sleep and
peStered by the Johnnie scouts at every
ford, and whenever they could get close
to US in the bills. ana it was about as
much as We could do 10 get along at all.
One night we went into camp in the
neighborhood of the enemy and our sen-
tineIs were cautioned to be extra care
ful. We had with us young fellow of
II, who wasn't afraid OF anything, and in
a dozen fights he had done wonders, but
this marching had about tuckered him
out and he was q wreck. He was still
nervy though and when he was detailed
as a sentry he never said a word, but
braced up and went to his post. | was
to relieve him, and when the time came
our squad started out with the Cor
pOral for the posts. His was in the tick
liShest place near ford, and as we came
toward him, we could see him marching
up and down as steady as clOckwork. and
| felt good for | was half afraid the boy
couldn't stand it. AS we came closer he
kept right on, paying no attention to us,
which seemed to me to be queer. He
didn't even respond when the Corporal
spoke, and we waited for him right across
his beat. He come straight ahead then,
paying no attention, and mighty near
knocked the Corporal down, but he got
out OF the way ana let him go by, motion
ing the rest Of us TO keep still. Twice he
passed up and down the beat, and the
third time the Corporal took him by the
arm and gave him shake, when he
jumped back, sorter groaned and dropped
10 The ground as il he had been shot.
Asleep, by thundern growIed the
Corporal, and the Corporal was right.
The young fellow was asleep, but the
courage in him wasn't, and there he was,
still a-marching right against nature and
doing the best he could. The detail had
to carry him into camp and he didn't get
his senses back for d week, but the men
kept still about it and the Colonel did not
hear Of it till the young fellow had on a
Lieutenant's shoulder-straps, and he
wanted 10 promote him to Captaincy on
the pot."-Detroit Free Press.

ON THE CARDS.

His knowledge of the Game Was Too
Limited for His Friend.
Two young fellows walked up Main
street last Saturday night. They had
been talking about skill at games OF
cards. One of them allowed that he could
plav any game of which the late Mr..
HoyIe was cognizant The other was
equally sure of his mastery of the paste
boards.
II will play you any game you choose
for money, marbles or chalk," said the
short one.
-"Wen, we'll go up here and play a
game of pedro"
mo. l amt very good at pedro"
Lets have game of casino, them"
81 never did like that game"
"Ill play you poker"
"That's game l never play"
"Pinocle?"
The counting is too much bother"
''Cribbage?"
Don't know that game"
"Hearts?'
Hearts is no good"
By this time the short one was dis
gustei. He stopped and said:
"Well, you chump, what will you play
after all your bluffing?"
The tall one hesitated for a minute.
Then he said:
II will match pennies with you."-

GROWING OLD.

The faireSt lilies droOp at eVentlde,
The sweetest roses fall from Off the stem,
The rarest things on earth cannot abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them.
We're growing old.
We had our dreams, those rosy dreams OF
youth,
They faded, and twas well. Their after
prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes. and yet, for
sooth,
We drop tear now in this later time
To think we're old.
We smile at these poor tancleS OF the past
A saddened smile almost akin to pain.
Those high desires, those purposes so vast,
An, our poor hearts, they cannot come
again!
We're growing old.
Old? Well the heavens are old; this earth is,
tOo
Old wine is best, maturest fruit most sweet
Much have we lost, more gained, although It's
true
We tread Iifes way with most uncertain
feet.
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter as we pace
Soft graces, tender hopes on every hand.
AT last, with gray streaked hair and hollow
face,
We step across the boundary of the land
Where rome is old.

DANGER JUST AHEAD.

A Prominent Professor Speaks About
the Threatening Things Abroad ae
This Time of the Year.
sit is surprising how many people are SUI
fering to-day from so-called coughs, colds and
influenza"
The remark was made by a very prominent
Professor, connected with of the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
sit is not these things that are troubling
people, but it is an advanced form of our old
enemy the grip. People feel out of Sorts
SneeZe, have pains in the muscles and bones
have no appetite, lose all interest in the world
and wonder what is the matter IL is the
grip. nothing else.
''NoW, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be met
ana repelled at once, or II is certain to run
INTO something serious. | know OF but one
way TO certainly avoid these troubles which
are now so common, ana that is, to immedi-
ateiy counteract them by using good, pure
strong Stimulant. Nothing of the ordinary
kind, but something pure and scientific. For
this purpose nothing has ever eQualed Duhy'5
Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged
be the only pure medicinal malt whisky upon
the market"
The words of the Professor are true and they
carry q wonderful meaning to many men and
women who are suffering with tue first Symp-
toms of grip. or else grip in lis advanced
stages. For all such people we offer word of
advice, which is TO take the best means to
overcome these troubles and do not permit
any dealer to SWerve you from your purpose

rant my putting forth the theory that the
cause OF it is the explosion of the oxygen
produced by the action of the electricity
upon the air. One of the arguments in
favor OF this theory is the great amount of
ozone to be found in the atmosphere after
a thunderstorm. Then, if it was con-
cussion of the air rushing into the vacu-
um that caused the noise, heat would bs
produced, whereas, after every peal OF
thunder, you will notice sheet of rain
falls, showing that instead of heat being
produced the atmosphere must get colder
to produce the great condensation. l
cannot conceive how electricity passing
through the atmosphere could create q
vacuum great enough to make a noise
like thunder. This theory came to me
many years ago, before electricity was so
generally used. Now, the fact of being
able to transmit electricity through a
solid iron without even heating it seems
to justify my theory regarding the
formation of vacuum. ."-Pittsburg Dis

What Causes Thunders

"The generally accepted theory of the

mot having any sympathy with those
who spiritualiZe the second coming of
Christ, and believing that He will appear
at some time in some personal sense. we
regard the calculations OF Totten and
those like him as being on the same
plane with Ignatius Donnelly's attempt
to prove Lord Bacon the author of Shake
speare's works." observes the New York
Christian AdVocote (Meth.). "a pro-
found lack of common sense is the
trouble with them, mingled in many
cases with an egregious vanity which
leads them to desire to be prophets. For
1900 years they come upon the scene and
liked their times, all things remaining
as they were from the beginning, and ST.
Peters words give us the only key to the
seeming contradiction. These same
words are sufficient to overthrow the
SANDER upon the Gospel in which these
people generally indulge, to the effect
chat the world as whole is growing
worse; that the church is falling in the

ODD THINGS ABOUT CENTS.
Among Other Things They are
Quite Extensively Counterfeited.


Quite Extensively Counterfeited.
New York Herald:
From time to time one sees ref
erences in the daily papers, refer
ring to the difficulty experienced
by the ferry companies, car lines,
etc, in disposing of enormous ac-
cumulations of ordinary copper
cents. The reader is very apt to re-
member this, particularly if i'll eX-
change for a dollar bill he is re-
turned ninety-five one cent pieces
by the conductor.
AS a matter of fact, there is no
excuse for the item, much less for
a car conductor or change taker
in unloading its weight of copper
upon the always more or less
abused passenger. The Unit
ed States sub-treasury, at
Wall and Nassau streets, makes,
and has made it a practice for
years, of exchanging minor coin
for United States money of large
denomination, and it has many
regular customers who are so
served.
There are a number of curious
things about cents as they come
to the sub-treasury. In the first
place, they are quite extensively
counterfeited. This may seem
strange, as the profit in a counter
felt cent is necessarily small. 1t
if true, however, nevertheless, and
is supposed to be the work of Ital-
ians, who, more largely than any
other nationality, seem to favor
the imitation of our minor and
subsidiary coin.
The Brooklyn and New Jersey
ferry companies, the elevated rail-
roads Of both New York and Brook
Ign and the various slot machine
companies are regular customers
for the exchange Of cents for other
money at the sub-treasury. AT
times they turn in enormous guam
titles, the slot companies alone
ranging between 1926 and 500 a
day.
AS might be expected, all sorts
Os oddities in the way of coin come
in with the quantity taken in the
machines. In addition to the
counterfeits are scores of "not
one cents of war times
metal discs and foreign copper
Austrian money predominating.
AS the copper cent is simply a
token, no matter what its Condi.
ton is, it is redeemed at par if il
can be Identified as United States
money.
The popularity of the slot ma
chimes a year or so ago brought
about curious condition of affairs
in the country. This was nothing
short Of a Gent famine" The
headquarters Of the company is il
New York, and all agents sent
their cents here for redemption
which drained the country Of il.
