THEBALLAD OF MAJOR MALONE.

Major Malone was as gallant a man
AS ever looked into gun;
They say he was one of the last to re-
treat
When things went wrong at Bull Run.
He fought and he bled in the wilderness,
He waded the Rapidan;
Whenever a rebel saw Major Malone
He threw down his musket and ran.
High up at window a maiden once
stood,
The flames and the smoke swept around
Despair filled her breast as she gazeo at
the crowd
Twas seventy feet to the ground;
A hero rushed up through the flery mass
The death demon howled for his own,
But the fear-stricken maiden was snatch
ed from his teeth
By the valorous Major Malone.
With the heart of a lion all the dangers
he met;
He knew not the meaning of fear:
In peace and in war he was dauntiess-
and yet
We must shatter the idol right here;
The man who had rushed into ruins en-
brace,
Who had bled on the bullet-swept heio'
When the dentists cold forceps were
thrust in his face,
Forgot all his valor and "squeaieo.

Paralyzed fol. Years.
A CARPENTER SPENDS MANY
MONTHS IN NBED-PHYSiCiANS'
DO HIM LITTLE GOOD.

PARALYSIS CAME FROM A FALL.
From the Express, Los Angeles, California.
Just think of busy, hardworking
man paralyzed in the midst of his ca
reer, and rendered useless.
That was the misfortune that befell
James A. Jones, of 1909 Alpine street,
Los Angeles, Cal, in September, 1891.
Mr.. Jones was born in the state where
many of the presidents come from
Ohio, but spent the greater part of his
life during his younger years in Iowa,
from which place he went to Colorado,
and in 1882 came to Los Angeles. 1t
was small place then, before the
boom came along and pushed us for
ward century in the road of progress,
and Mr.. Jones followed his occupation
of carpenter and builder. While at
work in September, 1891, he received a
fall which Jared him considerably and
he became confined to his bed. Shortly
after he lost the use of the lower part
of his body entirely, and his legs be-
came dead weight. A plaster cast
was put upon him by the doctors and
they worked over him and did all
things possible to assist his recovery.
But he remained in the same condition.
In April, 1898, he began to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The following June he noticed that he
could move his toes, and July A, 1893,
he got up out of bed and later in the
month was able to walk without
crutches. Shortly after, still continu-
ing the pills he went to work at his
trade at Whittier's, where he sustained
fall and again injured himself and
had to 90 to bed and the dread paraly-
sis came on again. Again the doctors
worked with him but without relief,
and he once more began to take DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. The doctors had
given him bromides and iodides; but
without effect. Again the pills drove
the paralysis into the background. He
said 81 took them in accordance with
directions, and in connection with the
use of cold sponge baths, found they
were exceedingly beneficial.
Mr.. Jones is now able to walk again,
and he feels that the pills are the only
/ thing that has done him any good. In
this connection he said: "The doctors

thing in their power, but without
effect, and it does seem marvellous that
paralysis should be overcome by these
little pills. But that has been my ex-
perience If anyone doubts it let him
write to me or come and see me and !
will tell them the story"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in
condensed form, all the elements nee
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal.

RATIFIED.

To make mad dog to order, tie tin pan
TO his tail. A man made mad is one who,
after suffering 10, 15 or 20 years with rheu-
matism, finds that by the use of bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil he is cured. He feels the
waste of his life in pain, with the loss of
time, place and money. and then rejects
that for the expense of Soc. he could have
saved all this and lived free of pain; it is
enough to make him mad. Most of our suf-
ferings are intensified by delay in seeking
relief, and there is much worth knowing as
regards the cure of pain that we find out at
last only by the use of the best cure. It is
worth knowing that for the cure of rheu-
matism there is special virtue in The
Great Remedy for Pain, St. Jacobs Oil, and
as SO much can be saved by its use, the cost
is really nothing.

The First American Flag.

A wel1-knOwn authority on American
curios says: '"The first resemblance
to a flag was the work of Benjamin
Franklin and Messrs. Harrison and
Lynch. They were chosen as a COM
mittee to create a national flag, and
adopted the Kings colors as union,
reunited with thirteen stripes alternate
red and white; showing that, although
the colonies united for defense against
England's tyranny, they still acknowl-
edged her sovereignty" On Tuesday,
Jan. 2, 1776, this flag was hoisted in
camp at Cambridge, Mass, now Somer-
vile, receiving a salute of thirteen
guns and thirteen cheers. The first
American-made flag was hoisted over
the capitol at Washington Feb. "a,
1866, all previous flags having been
manufactured from English bunting.

E,eotr,c Return Currents.

The theory. of the earth as conduc.
tor is discussed in a recent issue of the
American Electrician by DR.. Bell, and
the conclusion arrived at that the con.
ductivity of the earth is SO meager that,
except in the case of very high voltages
or very minute currents, it is quite in
significant in practical affairs; in rail-
way return circuits the earth return
does much more harm than good; for
power service the earth is useless as a
return, and in telegraphy alone does il
appear likely to serve permanently
useful purpose. This is in marked com.
parison with the idea formerly preva.
lent and used in the calculation OF
ground return circuits that the conduc-
tiyity of the earth is infinite.

The Watervleit arsenal, near Troy,
has begun work preliminary to the
casting of the largest gun in the Uni
ted States. 1t is to be Of siXteen-inch
bore. The United States has built
two of the larger caliber for coast de-
fenses, but they were old-fashioned

to the new gun in size, weight or any,

twenty-inch guns, one of which is
mounted at Fort Hamilton, and one of
which lies on the ordnance dock at
Governors island. These guns were
not startling successes. The one at
Fort Hamilton has been fired few
times, and each time its recoil has
raised the very dickens with it's car

The new gun will be nearly fifty feet
long (te be accurate, 49.67 feeD, will
have a range of sixteen miles and be
able to penetrate twenty-seven and one
half inches of the best steel armor at
a distance of two miles. The gun will
weigh 125 tons and it will throw a
solid armor-piercing projectiie weigh

leaves the muzzle of the gun it will be
travelling at the rate of 1000 feet a

eight. Italy has twenty-five guns of

upon which has now begun at Water

however, to the Italian guns, although
they do have one inch more caliber.
The maximum diameter of the breech

A PRESIDENTS RECEPTION
An Incident of a Trip to Washington
Years Ago.

An incident OF 10 w soA
Years Ago.
An old-timer was in q reminiscent
mood after reading of McKinley's trip
to Washington, and among other
things recited the following incident:
"An incident which could possibly oc-
cur in no other country on the globe
and which seems to show the fervor
of most fervid race, and gives an In
sight into President Andrew Johnson's
character as a man, such as could not
be found in a dozen histories OF the
man who held every elective office In
the power Of our sovereign people,
from constable of Columbia, Tenn, to
President Of the United States.
"It was just following the impeach-
ment trial." said the narrator, when
Mr.. johnson was making his grand
tour of the country. His party put up
at the Spencer House, which was then
a swell hotel. When the Presidential
party were leaving the Spencer tbs
carriages were driven from the hotel
entrance across the east side of Broad
way, and it CHANGED that the one in
which Mr.. johnson and Secretary STAN
ton were seated pulled up in front Of
genial Ed Quinton's railroad hotel, then
at Front and Broadway, but now, like
poor Ed, no more.
"At that time an old Irishman named
Kennedy, nicknamed The Democrat
was employed as houseman at Quin-
toms, and chanced to be standing at
| the front door with the youth who was
at once clerk and bookkeeper of the
Railroad.
| "sWurra, who's the little fat fellow

reply.

handkerchief, with which he mopped
his face and wiped his hands, he ap-

| which was an open one. When there
he placed his hat firmly between his
knees, spat on his hands, extended the
| right, and exclaimed:
"sWisha, how are We, Andy, my de,

the old Irishman were reflected on the
Presidents as he grasped the honest
hand.
