It appeared that there was a politician
of some standing-I think he was an al
derman from Boston or somewhere-who
had been in camp for some days looking
for the remains of his brother, who had
been killed some time before, and he had
found them Christmas morning. The body
had been disinterred and put in hand
some coffin that the alderman had brought
from home and the coffin had been put In
the storehouse over night.
OF course we didn't know it was there.
Perhaps it might have made difference
to Mason and me if we had known. I
don't know as care about expressing an
opinion on such delicate question. At
all events we didn't know and naturally
We couldn't be expected to bore holes
through the floor in as many places as we
did bore them without hitting the coffin,
and as matter of fact we had bored three
or four holes in it. 1t hadn't really spoiled
the coffin for actual service, but it had Ger
tainly damaged it to some extent
Well, the politician made a row, and the
commanding officer ordered general
search of the camp, to SEQ If any trace
could be found of the miscreants-mean-

knew the people at home would not forget
us, but no boxes came We learned after
ward that they were only three or four
miles away, but that didn't help us then,
and we didn't get them for several days.
It was bitter cold. Only two days after
Christmas three or four men were frozen
to death on picket, and it was almost as
cold then, but even worse than the wealth.
or was the notion of feeding on hard tack
and salt horse. which was about all we
had, while the people at home had turkey
and plum pudding. In the morning,
though, there seemed to be no help for 1t,
and while We didn't grin We thought we
had to bear it.
At noon, however, there came q little
alienation. One Of the men-1 remember
his name was Hagenan-came in from
picket duty with the bones Of q sheep that
he had kicked up In the snow. Some guer-
rillas had been along there and had killed
and eaten the poor brute and left the
bones. They had mighty little meat on
them, but they were full of marrow, and
we boiled them up. There WAS Dutch
sergeant in the company who had a potato,
and somebody managed to steal two onions
from the quarternaster; so we had some
soup.
It was a change and 80 it was welcome.
don't remember to have enjoyed any
soup since then quite as much as did
that, but somehow it didn't seem to fill
the bill Of fare very we'll for Christmas,
and we were ready to take almost any kind
Of chance for something good.
My brother was in the same company
with me, and he was On guard at brigade
headquarters that day. We all knew that
there were some provisions in the store
house there, but the question was how to
get at them. It meant running the risk OF
being shot by some sentinel, besides the
certainty of severe punishment In case we
should get caught trying to steal any
thing yet there were some Of US willing to
take the chance.
When my brother came in after being
relieved, he came to my tent In great glee.
"I've got it!'' he said after making sure
that nobody was looking or listening.
"What have you gotp" asked. Sugar"
he exclaimed. "Where is itf' said I.
Here" said he, showing me his musket.
He had managed to get into the storehouse
long enough to pack the barrel OF his gun
full of sugar, but didn't get anything else.
"sugar Is good" said /, "but If there
is sugar in the storehouse there ought to
be some whisky there too" And made
up my mind to get some Of that whisky
that night If it was possible thing.
There was q corporal named Mason In
the company, who was always ready to
take chances II there was anything to be
Rained by It, and he wanted some Of that
whisky as much as I did. 1t was cold

Sugar. Some Molasses and Csnteen Of
Yeast to tho Christmas Mess-On Short
My recollections of Christmas expert
ences in the army are mostly connected
with the matter of grub, and suppose ev-
cry other old soldier, if he is frank enough,
will admit the same thing. AS rule we
always looked for boxes from home on
Christmas day, and those boxes were toler-
ably certain to have something in them
that made a delightful change from the
ordinary rations. When wo got those
boxes, we celebrated Christmas. When we
didn't we didn't celebrate. Christmas
was pretty much the same as any other day
under those circumstances.
The particular Christmas that stands up
above all others in my memory was that of
1869. We had gone into camp after Fred
.ericksburg, at a place called White Oak
church, about six miles from Falmouth,
Va, and lay there when Christmas came.
We looked for our boxes, of course, for we

Skeleton of . Lay Sermon For Christmas.
First.-Young women who are thinking
of giving Christmas remembrances to their
pastors should remember that the straight
and narrow path Is not an easy road to
travel at all times and therefore stout
walking shoes may be more appropriate
than embroidered slippers
Seoond.-Measure the value Of the gifts
you receive by the motives of the gtvers
and not by their intrinsic value. Often
times when the proper standard Is used the
humblest gift, costing but a few cents, is
found to be of more real worth than the
Richest most expensive present.

cause you think yon nre going to receive
one from that quarter, you would better
abandon tho idea altogether. Christmas
gifts prompted by anything but desire
to confer real pleasure upon the recipient
had best go ungiven.
Fourth. good thing to cot the old
time Christmas dainties at Christmas time
the rich black plum pudding, tho boars
head and the juicy baked goose-just the
same as our forbears did. But If you have
indigestion the next morning do not
grumble. Go out into tho sunshine and
walk five miles, or, better yet, hunt up
an ak and log Of wood and make the
chips fly for an hour or two. It Is law
Of nature that whose will not physically
labor shall not overeat with impunity.
Fifth.-It's a good thing to remember
that the recording angel is likely to make
q bigger entry to your credit on his books
because Of the gift of half worn overcoat
to shivering fellow man or dinner to
half starved and possibly grimy urchin
than because Of costly jewel given to
favorite of fortune.
Sixth.-Christmas Is the day Of all the
year on which the unlovely traits of your
character should be slnothered, and it
would be great thing for you if you were
to manage in some way this year to get
rid of those traits altogether.

He is, like most Of the company,
All Australian by birth, Of Ger

many years he has followed cir
Gus life as actor, manager and
proprietor.

for twenty-seven years, starting
in at fifteen years of age as an
acrobat. A serious injury COM
PEELED him to quit that branch of
the business and since his twenty
first year he has either owned or
managed other shows.
The duties of manager are ex-

of superintendent devolve on
him, and after making new
stand. the advertising, buying Of

tions for giving performance,
the propertiys and the entire
financial rangements he must
look after personally.

of twenty-siX years.of active cir
Gus life as trainer, rider and all

Timely Topics

THE FREE AID" AND THE
SUPERIORITY OF THE
TRIBUNE WHEELS
OVER THE
STEARNS.

In our last advertisement in
this column we called atten-
ton of the public to the
StearnS wheels which are now
being sold in this city. We
stated without fear of contra
diction that they were back
numbers, manufactured in 1894
and shipped to the Pacific
Coast as up to date wheels
when they are not. We rel
terate that assertion more for
chilly in this ad. 1t has not
been denied and cannot be,
and we again caution buyers
not to be deceived with anti
quated machines which are
represented as containing all
the latest Improvements.
An ad of the Stearns agency
in an afternoon paper, praising
the Tribune wheel and giving
it a good Send-otf, refers to a
letter written by H. F. Terrill,
the well-known Scorcher, con-
corning the Tribune wheel.
In spite of their assertion to
the contrary, we deny that the
agents of the StearnS wheel
have seen or read the private
letter of Harry F. Terrill to the
Tribune rider here (meaning
Tommy King but as there is
nothing secret about it we
print the whole Of it relating
to bicycles below. If the
Stearns agents can get any
satisfaction out of it they are
more than welcome. Mr.. Ter
rill says: 81 am riding a
Stearn, 16 lbs. Say, Tom, the
Tribune wheel has an awful
good reputation through the
East. did not think much
of it before | came East.
1t is considered one of the best
mechanically constructed
wheels in the world"
The balance of the letter
refers to private matters but
the StearnS agents may peruse
the whole of it at any time.
The. explanation of Terrilps
riding a Stearns wheel lies in
the fact that he is under con-
tract with the manufacturers
to do so, consequently he can
not ride a Tribune although it
is evident he would if he had
the choice.
In our last advertisement we
asked any intending pur-
chaser to take one of the
Stearns wheels to any first class
mechanic and have him take it
apart and compare it with the
corresponding features of the
! Tribune wheel. We knew that
an honest opinion would be
that the Tribune is by far the
better wheel and hence made
the challenge. We renew that
challenge and intend to keep it
before the public. 1t has not
been accepted and it will not
be.
We expect those Tribune
TandemS on the Australia and
if they arrive they will probab-
ly be seen in the New Years
races.
Don't purchase a bicycle OF
any kind without first examin-
ing the Tribune.

and was armed with two nose
horns, the shortest of which was
three feet and two inches in
length. The animal doubtless be-
longed to an antediluvian species

size gives some idea Of the enor-

A Widening Gulf.

Every school boy or girl who has
read little of Greek history knows
how important part the Eub9an gulf
or channel, between the island of Eu-
bea and the mainland of Greece, has
played in that history, but the gulf
itself has history as wonderful and in
teresting in its way as that of the peo-
pie dwelling along its shores. Accord.
ing to the belief of some biologists, it
has been created by earthquakes, and
it is gradually growing wider. 1t be-
gan, long before recorded hum an his
tory, as a surface crack in the earth's
crust, which be .ame filed with water
from the Mediterranean Sea. In the
course of time the gulf was widened by
the breaking and settling of the rocks,
each important step in the process be-
ing accompanied, probably, by severe
earthquakes. The latest occurrence of
this kind was in the spring of 1894,
when, during the earthquake that shook
Athens and destroyed three villages in
eastern Greece, huge assure, thirty
four miles long and varying from few
inches to ten feet in width, was opened
near the Grecian shore of the gulf.
Along part of the course of this fis-
sure the ground sank 80 much that sew
eral yards were added to the width of
the gulf. Youths Companion.
