GAINESVILLE, Wis.
Some four years ago last June, Mr..
John Littlejohn complained to me of
peculiar sensation in his head and neck,

told him he had a blood clot at the base

diagnosis was the same as my own, al
though we had neither of us known any
thing about the others diagnosis.
There was some unsteady twitching OF
the facial muscles on the right side, and
especially OF the right eye.
"Mr. Littlejohn seemed to be COM
pletely unbalanced and 'jerky,' and
quite unsteady. This is truthful state
ment of Mr.. Littlejohn's condition. He
tried every conceivable remedy, by the
recommendation of some eight or ten
physicians in GAINESVILLE, Chicago, Mil

''He tried it, and by a steady, persis-

Mr.. Littlejohn himself writes:

DUTIES OF A FRIENDLY POWER.

American sympathizers with the
Cuban revolutionists and the fiji.
clustering expeditions that are I'M
doubtedly fitting out along the
Eastern coast of the United States
are in a way to bring about, in one
way or another, decided under
standing between Spain and the
United States as TO the amount of
police power over shipping which
these countries may exercise and
still remain friendly nations.
II the United States desires its
shipping to be free from search and
possible seizure by Spanish gun
boats, it must exercise a police
power over its southern Atlantic
coast that will prevent filibustering
parties setting out from American
shores. Cuba is in the path of
American shipping, and can cause
vast amount of trouble by delay
ing and overhauling American
merchantmen. While the United
States is watchful of its shipping,
Spain has territorial interest
quite as important. With the
knowledge of sympathy with the
revolutionists existing among the
American people as voiced by
leading papers alone, Spain
has very good reason to
look upon vessels flying the Ameri-
can flag with suspicion. The
United States must do TO Spain as
she demands that Spain should do |
unto her.
Though many cases have arisen
in which the duties of a friendly |
power have been put to test, there
are points yet to be settled to the
satisfaction of Washington lawyers.

Mr.. Ashford was long enough

Some time ago, we pur-
chased a lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some pal.les circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard of the -Aas-
eyicaa product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
276o pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have it tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength of 7o8 pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell you
that this American wire will
not be sold by us. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire
with the steel stays and gal
washers comprise the
material necessary to use in
making the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper or better
fence was ever made.

WHAT GUERILLA WARFARE IS.
The Cuban RevoIutiOnists Following
Old Spanish Methods.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
One of the strongest and most graphic
of the celebrated novels upon national
themes written by the great Spanish au-
thor 3. Perez Galdos, is Juan Martin
Ell Empecinado." To thin thread Of plot
it binds a series of vivid realistic pic
lures of Incidents and scenes in the
memorable year 1911. when Spain was
resisting the Napoleonic invasion, dealing
not with the movements of armies and
the intrigues of diplomats. but with the
infinitely more intense and even ferO-
cfous strife of the people with the invad-
ers. The author sounded it's keynote,
when, in the first chapter. he wrote:
Now, l am going to speak of guerilla
war, which is the true national war, of the
rising of the people in the fields. of those
spontaneous armies springing from the
soil like native plants whose mysterious
seeds are not sown by the hand of man
l am going to speak of that military or
ganization, made by miraculous instinct,
behind the state, of that regulated anarchy
which reproduced primitive times
The following extract descriptive of
guerrilla warfare in Spain at that time
may perhaps be found a pretty accurate
picture of what it is in Cuba to-day, the
fact being borne in mind that Spanish
neutrality-suspicious. in the veins of the
defenders Of Cuba Libre," and their
methods of combat are those sanctioned
by the traditions of their race.
The acumen of great military captains
is wont to be compared to the sight OF the
eagle who. soaring In fun sunlight TO an
immense hight, sees a thousand secrets
hidden from the common gaze. The pene-
tration of great guerilla chiefs may be
compared TO the vigilant nocturnal am
buscade of those fierce carniVorouS birds
that from the roofs. the spires towers,
ruins and forest watch the needless and
tranquil victim in order TO fall upon it.
In guerilla warefare there are no true
battles-that is to say, there are not those
duels, foreseen and deliberate, between
armies, IN which each seeks the other in
encounter, select the ground and fight to-
gether. The combats of the guerilias are
surprises, and in order that there shall
be collision 1t is necessary that one of
the two parties is ignorant of the prox-
unity of the other. The first quality OF
the guerillas, even more important than
valor is a good gait, because nearly al
ways they win their victories while run
ming. The guerillas do not retire; they
fly, and flight is not shameful for them.
The base of their strategy is the art of
uniting and dispensing themselves. They
condense together to fall like the rain,
and scatter to escape pursuit, in such man.

Mrs. Callias declined to talk about the
marriage last evening But her compan-

confirmed the report Of the wedding. Miss
Leigh said that Mrs. Callias did not wish
TO make any statement regarding her
marriage, although she, consented TO the
simple announcement of the fact.
Callias Bey and his bride are at the Plaza
hotel.
About 10 o'clock last night Callias Bey

Mr.. Barnum met the woman who yes

manner. She was the daughter of a Ian

to tell him that his success in life was
due to his reading Of Mr.. Barnum's auto

The marriage was a happy one. Mr.
Barnum' children by his first wife became
devoted to their stepmother. A new and
elegant residence was built at Bridge

called Marina. In the planning and fur

LIVING LIGHTNING ROD.
A Jersey Farmer Alive After Being
Struck Six Times

ENAA Ch f7AA
HJ From the baltimore American.
Dutch Neck, N. j.. July 2S.-CharIes
Hines, a farmer, living near here, enjoys
the honor of having been struck an even
half-dozen times by lightning, and he is
still on earth and able to tell the story.
The latest attack of lightning that Hines
had was one day last week, when he was
coming home from Hightstown on horse
back. He had purchased pork ham and
watermelon. He put these into bag, and
hbng it over the horses back in such a
way that the load wluld be evenly, d.
Yided. Rain was falling when he left
Hightstown, and he hurried along, in the
hope of getting home before the storm
got TO be wild. About two miles from
town there was a large chestnut tree by
the side of the road. Hines had reached
this tree and was passing under it, when
there was a vivid flash of lightning, and
that same instant Hines found himself
lying in the gutter, with no clothes on
besides his trousers and shoes. The
tricky fluid had stripped off his shirt,
coat and hat. The horse that Hines was
on when the lightning made connection
with him lay on the opposite side of the
road; TO all appearances, IL was dead.
What became of his missing clothes
Hines never found out, but he found the
watermelon and the pork ham. The pork
ham was lodged in the tree as good as
when ii left the ismokehpuse. and the
melon he found lying on the ground
ABOUT ten yards away, on the opposite
Side sof' a stone wall, and4 barring a small

ebAaition. Not thread of the bag that
had held the melon was to be found.
Sf4ines was a little dizzy but he got on
/ his feet and pulled himself together suf-
| iciently TO get over TO where his horse
lay. The animal wasn't dead. and Hines
soon had it on it's feet. The bride had
been torn off the horses head and no
trace of it could be found. With the
melon under one arm and the ham I'M
der the other Hines walked home, driving
bis horse before him.

The girl looked to be about 16 years old.
She and the elderly man, evidently her

typical immigrants from Italy. They had

man carried a big plaid carpet bag under
