by applying for a charter. There are
nearly two hundred in the company,
and the best families of the State are
represented.
The company was formed to take
part III an entertainment fer charity,
and United States officers in Fort Nc
'herson acted as drill masters. The
young women, dressed in white duck
uniforms, handled real muskets and
behaved themselves so well that after
the entertainment they decided to keep
up their organization. Since then they
have had regular rills, including long
marches and targo practice, and have
become the most enthusiastic soldiers
that ever paraded for war.
The company is organized on exact
military lines, md it is impossible to
eXaggerate the interest which the in
dividual members feel in it. Miss Butt,
of Atlanta, has been appointed lieu
tenant colonel on Governor Atkinson's
staff, and the young women are serious
in their desire to become a part of the
National Guard of the State. They call
themselves the Foster Light Infantry.

THE oLD.FAsHloNED GAMES.

The wheel is apparently coming to stay,
For lassies as well as for laddies-
But sorry we are for it's taking away
The old-fashioned games Of our daddes.
The children have wcarcd of flying their
kites,
The shooting of marbles is over;
Gay ''leap-frog' will never give any de-
lights
And par is no longer in clover.
On stills little fellows won't think they
are tall,
4 nd tops they will never be spinning.
AnC as for the amateur game of baseball,
No more Will it give us an inning.
The round iron Quoits will no longer be
tossed,
And tag, dear old tag, has been ban
ished,
While ''ducls On the rock is an art that is
lost
And ''ridiug duck" also, has vanished.
Forgotten, alas! is old "ball in the hole;
"HOp-scotch" is all out of the fashion;
The hoople we never will gracefully roll,
And ''cat'' is no longer Il passion.
Hide and seek" doesn't enter in anyone 5
mind,
Fer 'cricket" nobody is wishing;
Snap tile whip" has departed, and soon
we will find
No pleasure in going a-fshing.
Copenhagen in spite Of its kissing, is
done.
"Mumblepeg" is not worthy of notice,
And bold ''stunting master" the little
ones shun
As much rs hot mustard poultice.
81 spy" "wolf'' and follow your leader
have passed,
"Hare and hounds" is as fiat rs the
ceiling,
And rowing and sailing are leaving as
fast.
For nothing is thought of but wheeling.
The only old sports that may linser
around
Are shedding and snow forts and skat-
ing,
For when it is cold and there's snow on
the ground
The wheel is way off in its rating.
The cycle has come and is likely to stay,
For lassies as well as for laddies.
And sorry we are. for they never will play

Being ''trusty," the man in the

not accorded other prisoners, by reason
of which the Washington Star" re,

A Sensation,

That the world is coming TO an end
suddenly at given time is not what
Is here referred to. There are different
kinds of sensations, as very many peo-
pie know who feel sharp twinges of
pain in the big nerve of the thigh. Sci
atica is a very painful sensation. and
The torment of it makes one think some
thing is come TO an end. But just at
the first sensation or twinge is the best
time to use st. Jacobs Oil. The less
pain the more easily it is cured. and
the Oil prevents its development by
soothing the nerve. At any stage it will

A tiger with a glass eye is at present
in the menagerie at Stuttgart. A Sc
rious affection of the muscles caused
the beast to lose the sight of one eye.
AS the public didn't appreciate a one
eyed tiger, the beast was put under
cocaine. and the useless optic removed.
He was measured for new eye, which
had to be made with special degree
of ferocity. For the first week he tried
to rub it out, but he now rests con-

A War Memory.

\ veteran of the late war who lives
in Omaha says he is not much of Il
judge of good songs. but he has vivid
recollection of hearing one once. and to
his mind it is the sweetest song ever
written and set to the sweetest tune
ever composed. He insists that this
song be placed in all lists of the world S
best songs, says tne Omaha World
Herald
1T was one night just after little
soiree with the Johnny Rebs in North
ern Georgia that heard the song" d"
said the veteran. Il heard it before,
but never before did it come to me in
just the way il did that night.
we had had skirmish with the
Johnnies during the day and when
we rested on our arms that night it was
with the certainty that on the morrow
we were to have a lively battle. About
8 o'clock our regimental band struck
up Star Spangled Banner, and it made
us feel mighty good. Just as the
echoes of the grand old air died away
a baad inside the rebel lines struck ZIP
Dixie and at the close we heard the
familiar rebel YELL Say. we fellows
got pretty well acquainted with that
yell before we came back North.
well, of course, our band had to
come again. so it played Hail Colum-
bia,' and Johnny Reb came back to us
with Maryland, My Maryland with
that yell for refrain. Then our boys
took fresh Fuckers in their lips and
blew Yankee Doodle into the evening
atmosphere, and the other fellows
came back with The Bonnie Blue
Flag
Say, it was getting interesting. Both
bands We're first-class and the even
ing's program was entertaining about
10000 soldiers. The Bonnie Blue Flag
died out in echoes frcm the surround
ing hills, our band played the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" and the blue
coated fellows shouted their approval.
1T was quite little while before
the Johnny Reb band came into eyi-
dence again, but when it did 1t brought
every soldier inside our lines to his
feet Softly through the night came
the beautiful strains of Home, Sweet
Home and before the first bar was
ended our band joined in. The two
bands. cemented together for the time
by the sacred ties of home, played that
grand tune ,and when the chorus was
reached the voices of Federal and Con-
federate Joined in singing it:
Home home, sweet, sweet home;
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home.
"That ended the evenings concert
I've heard some magnificent music
since then, and l have seen people
grow enthusiastic over songs. But that
night in Northern Georgia, when two
armies ready to spring at each other
forgot for few minutes the horrors of
war and joined in singing about the
dearest spot on earth, showed me the
best song ever written.
you people can make up your lists
of the ten best songs but if Home,
Sweet Home does not head the list it
will be because the makers don't know
what do about It,"

Lifting a Mortgage.

At Dutfield Station, ON the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, in the last months
of the war 100 of Mosby's guerrillas
captured two Yankee pdymasters with
$225, ,000 in Federal seven-th thirty notes.
John Puryear's share was S2,250. He
visited his home shortly after and gave
$500 note to his father, a simple
minded, honest, prayerful farmer. The
old gentleman, who was constant
reader of the Bible. used the piece of
green paper as a bOokmark for eight or
ten years. The thought that it pos
sessed value had never occurred to
him. He got into deep water, and the
farm was mortgaged up to the hilt.
John was sent for to help and advise.
In the early morning all knelt around
the family hearth in solemn prayer As
the farmer opened his Bible something
fell on the floor at his sons feet. 1t
was the bookmark. John picked it up.
The prayers were forgotten. why,
dad, the mortgages lifted" he said.
Here's nearly $1,000, and you need
only S600."-New York Press.

KEITH'S OPERA HOUSE.

Preparations for the opening program at
Keith's Opera House are progressing rapidly
and the initial bill for Labor day, September
o, will be the best that has ever been given, IN
the way OF vaudeville. in this city, or IN
any other. for that matter. There isn't foa'
ture in the prog ram that will open the season
at Keiths but would be considered big enough
20 be the star OF any other vaudeville show
Ana so, instead of one star, the opening star
at Keiths Opera House calls for all stars ot
the very highest type. The list of the attrac-
tions tells its own story: Henry 4. Dixey has
been specially engaged, after great effort TO
induce him TO plunge into vaudeville. and IL
is said he will receive the biggest salary ever
paid any performer in the vaudeville profes'
sion. Williams and Walker. known as the
hottest coons" in the business, are another
big feature. williams and Walker are un-
doubtedly the greatest real ''coon' artists on
tho boards, and thcy will make n sure hit at
Keiths. Some of the others are: Arthur
Dunn, the "little" comedian, and his sister
Jennie; Partice, the beautiful young comedi'
ennc; Charles II. Sweet, the burglar" mu-
sician: Herr Grais and his wonderfully
trained baboons and donkeys; the Panther
Bros. famous head to head balancers; the
Quigley Bros. and A,burtus and Bartram
the college boys" and many others.
