The following is story of Abraham
Lincoln which, if it is not true-as it
probably is not-is at least entitled to Il
place in legendary literature: Lincoln
was once riding along lonely road
when an i'll looking man, who held a
cooked revolver, suddenly faced him.
"What do you want, my friend?"
Lincoln asked.
81 am going to shoot you," answered
the man.
"Well," said Lincoln, "I don't mind
being killed, but should like to know
your reasons.
II once vowed" said the man, "that
if ever met man homelier than I am
I would shoot him"
Lincoln looked critically at his assail-
ant for minute, and then said:
"Well, if am any homelier than you
are, then for PHYS sake shootr'

Tho RiGdln of the Cid.

A medieval condcttier in the service
Of the Moslem, when he was fighting to
fill his OWL Golfers with perfect impair
tiality against Moor or Christian, BAN
ished as a traitor by his Castilian sover-
eign, and constantly leading tie forces
of the infidol against Aragon, against
Catalonia, and even against Castillo, he
has become the national hero of Spain.
Warning against the Moslem of Va
lencia, whom he pitilessly despo!led with
the aid of the Moslem Of Sarugossa,
whose cause he cynically betrayed, while
he yet owned nominal allegiance to
Alfonso Of CASTLE, whose territories he
was pitilessly ravaging, retaining con-
quered Valencia for his personal and
private advantage, in despite of Moslem
and Christian kings, he has become the
type Of Christian loyalty and Christian
chivalry in Europe. Avaricious, faith
less, cruel and bold, II true soldier Of
fortune, the Cid still maintains repr-
tation which is one of the enignas Of
history. -" History of Spain" U. r..

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General Jncisson's Cotton Baio
Breastworlis n Pleasing Fiction.

The Story OF General JncksOnS CottOu Enio
Breastworlis n Pleasing Fiction.
There are few of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent who do not remember being taught
that General jackson won tho battle Of
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
A dramatic account of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty of the affair appealed
vividly to the imagination. The cold
facts of later history prove It's all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history of Madison S admins alton, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to tho story
in note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they were either set on fire or
knocked out at once.
Jacllson's line of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary
ing height along its length The trained
sharpshooters Of the west did great work
as marksmen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbook story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded. McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, it seems, were not all repulsed ac-
cording to the popular story. The right
line of the American troops was driven
in, and the British left advanced mile
in the rear of Jackson on the way to
New Orleans.
He was really fianked by this success,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted mp
on the British in the center, involving
the death of the first and second generals
in command, completely dispirited them
and induced the return of that wing of
their army that was OH the way to the
city.-Boston Herald.

An English author says that man OF
middle age with whom he is acquainted
found one of his eyes affected, as he
thought, by reading small print at night
and applied to famous oculist for ad-

carefully and presently inquired whetl-
er he had ever suffered any inconven-
fence from the other eye, the right one.
"None whatever" was the reply.

MAGNETISM
Magnetism IS a Curative in
Chronic Diseases.

1t II no longer a doubt. but a demon
strated fact. that the power of magnetism
and electricity as used In the cure OF
chronic diseases is the greatest aux
iliary to medicine that Is known to science
at the present day, and some of the most
wonderful cures have been performed by
the proper use of the above mentioned
powers. DR.. +. Il. Smith and stan have
employed those powers In the cure of
chronic diseases for many years with the
most remarkable good results, as the fol-
lowing case will show: Mrs. GrOate. n
lady about so years old came to DIR. Smith
and stan. She was suffering with strict
ure or the throat for about eight years.
For over six years she had not swallowed
mouthful Of solid food. She had been
compelled to live on tea. coffee, milk ana
the thinest kind Of soups. She had been
doctoring for years. but found no relief.
She was told by several doctirs that there
was no cure, that all she could hope for
was death, which would come by degrees,
or. In other words. that the passage to he's
stomach would close and she would star, @
to death. Living in utter despair friend
called her attention to an advertisement
In the paper of the cures made by Dr..
Smith and stan. and contrary to the ad-
vice Of the family physician she CON-
menced taking magnetic treatments. She
was told that she had simply thrown her
money away, that no doctor could cure
her, but despite Of all those protestations
she Is today a living testimonial to the
healing virtues Of magnetism, for she was
absolutely and permanently cured of her
affction by DR.. Smith and staff. II you
are suffering with any complaint call or
those doctirs at sos Linden street, opposite
the court house, and be cured. Consulta.

Happenings Of Interest to the Staple
Trades and Particularly to the Trade
In Iron, Stcol aud Anthracite Coal.

Preparations are being made to start
the Montour Iron and Steel cOmpany's
plant, at Danville, Pa. 1t will be ope-
rated by the Reading Iron company.
The plant Of the Pennsylvania Tin
plate company at New Kinsington, Pa,
Pittsburg district, Is now In full opera
tion. The company Is putting In new
bar mill, suitable for rolling tinplate
bars.
The new machine shop at the Home
stead Steel work Of the Carnegie Steel
company, limited, has started with 200
wOrkmen. 1t Is one Of the most COM
plete mill machine shops in the country.
Electrical appliances are provided.
The Catasauqua (Pa.) Manufacturing
company is now operating It's plant to
full capacity In all departments. The
company recently started one Of its
Fullerton mills, and Is giving employ
ment at both plants to 500 men. A
short time ago an advance In wages Of
ten per cent. was made.
There is no question: that the iron
trade Of San Francisco Is partaking Of
the boom In the east, though not to the
same extent. Most of the foundries
seem busy. There vs. quite a good de-
mand also for mining machinery. There
has been some falling off In the matter
of iron shipbuilding, but the yards are
not idle.
A modified agreement has been made
between the promoters of the WASH
ingtOn (Pa.) Industrial company and
the lot owners, by which work will be
begun on the erection of the big tin
plate mill this month. The new works
will give employment to about 300 men,
The Improvement company Is making
efforts to locate other industries at
Washington.
A French engineer has suggested a
new method OF roughly estimating car
bon In steel by preparing two porcelain
tablets, together with six steel pencils,
having each different. but known, per-
centage of carbon. The piece Of metal
to be examined Is then drawn over one
of the porcelain tablets. and the same
thing Is done with each OF the steel

1t Is estimated by a railroad official
who has investigated the subject that
recent contracts and pending orders
for freight equipment amount to at
