ANDY JOHNSON.
The Milking of Cows, it is Said, Made
Him President.

Milking cows, it is said, made Andy
johnson President of the United States.
In the early days of Tennessee Merid-
ith P. Gentry and Andy johnson were
candidates for Governor of Tennessee.
Railroads were scarce in those DAYS.
most of the travelling being done in
ouggies and on horseback. Gentry and
johnson, although opponents for the
highest office in the gift of the people
in their State, were always the best of
friends. During their campaign they
rode together in the same buggy and
usually slept in the same bed. In those
lines, in hamlets and villages, there
was usually Squire who was lord of
his section, and who controlled the votes
of his neighborhood, and on this &C.
count he was naturally sought after by
the candidates. 1t was at one of these
Squire's farms that, it is said, John.
son milked the COW that made him
President.
Bright and early in the morning COL
Gentry slipped out of bed, went to the
kitchen, picked up two buckets, went
to the well and filled them. He thought
that the proper way to get votes was
first to win the friendship of the wo.
men. AS he was returning from the
well he met the 'Squire's wife. This
tickled him very much. He thought
that luck was surely with Lin this
time and that he would keep Andy
johnson from getting the votes in that
neighborhood at least. He was giving
the 'Squire's wife much taffy, when
she said: "Yes, think that Mr.. John.
son is very nice man, too he is over
the fence milking the cows"
After the election it was found that
Andy Johnson ives elected by a very
small majority, which Col. Gentry re.
marked came from milking the COWS.
Col. Gentry was one of the smartest
men in the South, considerably John
sons superior. From Governor of Ten.
nessee Johnson became President of the
United States, which great honor was
achieved by milking cows.-Philadel.

Twain'S Generosity,

In his article on Mark Twain in the
May Harper, the Rev. Joseph H. Twit-
chell recalls an amusing story of Mr..
Clemens marriage. His brides father
bought and furnished handsome
house for the young pair, and Mark
knew nothing of it until after the we'd
ding, when it was made known to him
in all its completeness by a party of his
wlfes relation, and, of course his wife,
who at length broke out: Its our
house yours and mine, present from
father" Everybody came to hear what
he would say. He choked up. and with
tears in his eyes, stammered out to his
father in law: "Mr Langdon, whenever
you are in Buffalo. if it's twice year,
come right up here and bring your bag
with you. You may stay over night, if
you want to. 1t shan't cost you a
cent?"

THE MAN WHO SHOT HIM.
veterans Meet Thirty Years Afterward
and Identify Themselves.

j. II. Wyman, of Chicago, went to
Newport News recently, and while
waiting for a ferryboat a stranger, a
man about Wyman's age, came up
and shared his seat. They were wait.
ing for the same boat.
You we're in the Union army. - said
the stranger, glancing at a button on
Wyman's lapel. "Where did Won

HypnOtised and Buried.

Morbid sentiment has apparently
reached its height in England in re-
cent hypnotic exhibition at the Royal
aquarium, at which the subject was
literally buried alive and allowed to
remain so for six days, declares the
New York World. The hypnotized m an
was sealed up in stout casket, and, in
the presence of the spectators, lowered
into grave nine feet deep.
The lid of the casket was furnished
with an aperture, and this connected
with the shaft which led to the sur.
face, making respiration possible, and
also enabling spectators to view the
face of the buried man.
AT least seven feet of earth were
shoveled on top of the coffin, and for
the period of six days it was not dis
turbed.
On the seventh day the casket was
dug up in the presence of large crowd.
The man when awakened was appar-
emily none the worse for his experience.
The London Lancet, which prints
the account of the distressing specta-
Gle, comments on it, saying;
ut is difficult to imagine a more re.
Voting experiment than this. Even
granting that these frances have any
use whatever-which we ourselves fail
to admit-lhere can be no possible ex-
cuse for making them more horrible
than they already are by burying the
man.
ANY experiment it was desired to
perform could have been done equally
well by sealing the man up in the box
without going through the details of
burying him and digging him up again.
Moreover, under such circumstances,
it is impossible to give him aid quickly
should he need it, and although acci-
dents may be rare in hypnotism, their
possibility is by no means to be neg
lected."

A Marvellous Memory,

The marvellous memory, or rather

called, of Sir Edwin Arnold, has excit-
ed frequent comment. Major j. b.

few days ago. Speaking of a visit
which he made with Sir Edwin Arnold

man s death, Major Pond said 1--WE

The End Of War in Cuba is Annexa.
tiOn.

can see no chance for speedy close
Of the war. There is desperate obsti-
macy and deadly animosity on both
sides. The insurgents are horsemen
and know the country and can live on
it and glide through it, eluding strong
columns and fighting weak ones. They
have faith that time is with them.
They can not be forced to risk decisive
engagements. They have no artillery
and must dodge and skirmish-their
capacity is in celerity.
1t is we'll that the approaching con-
ditions in Cuba did not come to pass
while slavery existed in America, or
before the people of the United States
understood themselves as the great
power of this hemisphere, with cores
ponding duties. We, the people of the
United States and the people of Cuba,
would form natural union by the
island coupling her destiny with ours
as one of our States, and she is worth
more than all the rest of the West
Indies or all the archipelagoes in the
Pacific Ocean.
The annexation that is clearly COM
ing will not be due to any immediate
action of Spain or the United States.
1t will be accepted by all concerned as
the only way for the order and the
energy that in established peace would
command enduring prosperity; and the
addition of the marvellous island would
round out the proportions of the Re.
public, and swell her commerce with
the productions of all the zones north
OF the Equator.
Columbus first saw the blue noun
tains of Cuba rise from the sea on Oc-
tober 2S, 1902, the first great land that
he discovered, and he was in doubt
whether it was Japan or Asia, but his
mind was settled that he was sailing
in the Indias-and he was-but the
lndias of his dreams were on the other
side of the earth. The gentle natives
became friends, and then slaves of the
Spaniards, and perished. The slave
trade followed, and a harder race
served the naughty masters of the land
of the palm and orange-falrer than
that of which Gothic sang. The sorrows
of races and the logic of histories say
the day dawns when once more the
natives of Cuba-the name the Indians
gave it, and that has clung through
all fortunes-shall regain their long
lost Paradise, and the lonesome South.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. the
course of treatment for such condi-
ton is plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so that the nervous sys,
tenn, and in fact all the organs will be
fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hood g
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hood 'sSarsaparilla is persistently taken
in word, health and happiness follow
after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

| Iittie Chick Matched tn a IIss.t af .
 Mining Camp From Natural fieat.
 r. D. Barubart, who returned to- day from his mining camp. on the Colorado river, in Mohaye county, north of Blackberry, tells somewhat remarkable, but as he alleges. true story of the result of the heat there. Mir. Barnhart is practical man not a joker, and he says any one doubt ing his story can varif, 1t by either visiting his camp ur writing io par ties there. He states that the sum mer has been uuiformerly warm and that a closet in the coolest part uf of he boarding was selected to keep their me. ts and other articles of food. About five weeks ago, among other thing placed in this closet Nas a lot of nice fresh eggs. All of them were Tn due time, as supposed, cooked and eaten. but about two weeks ago the cook, one morning heard a noise in the closet and supposed that it was caused bv a mouse, but on opening the door, prepared to kill the intruder. was surprised to find. instead of a mouse. a little chick. the she'll from which it had been hatched lying back in one corner of the closet. It trans pired that this one single egg had been overlooked. MT. Barnhart says the little chick has been carefully attended to, and 1t IS lively and healthy, being now over two weeks old. He states that he has taken great interest in It from a scientific stand point, as there Is not another chicken or domestic fowl m the camp or within several miles of it, and the particular interest taken by him has been to watch the development of its natural instincts without any of its species to teach or direct 1t. Two days ago, be says, it manifested the instincts of its species by com mencing to scratch in the dirt and about sun down it was discovered trying to get on projecting piece of wood a few inches above the floor in the room, apparently for the purpose of going to roost. He assisted it up, when it clamPed its feet around the piece of wood, and settled down for the night as nstur- ally as an old chicken.
 Mir. Barnhart states that the shell from which 1t was hatched in the closet has been carefully preserved, and he intends taking it east with him to exhibit as 8 scientific curiosity.
