Lieutenant Kupp, of the Eighty
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, was
captured. with many of his regiment,
at Gettysburg. He was known as a
Pennsylvania Dutcnman,' and came
from Berks county, in the State,
where German colonlsts settled nearly
two centuries ago, and where their
descendants cling to the old customs
and the mother tongue even unto this
day.
When I, with a number Of other
unfortunates, was taken on to Libby
Prison after the fierce fighting at
Lookout and Missionary Ridge, one
of the first men to attract my atten-
ton among the ragged, pale faced
mass of 1900 officers in the building
was Lieutenant Kupp,
As il was summer at the time Of
Gettysburg, the men captured in that
battle were in light attire, and the
long march down to Richmond, and
the wear and tear on their thin
blouses since then had reduced them
to rags, and this Pennsylvania Lieu
tenant seemed to me to be the most
ragged Of all.
Kupp was considerably over Six

inclined TO be round shouldered. He
was about "a years of age, anu th,

CHICAGO, March 29.-Over the sig

to the press and public of America
for sympathy and cooperation, moral

care for anything
But presisted the other, come in

Perry, 4 am anxious to be sociable,
but l can't drink with you.'
All right, growled the friend. If
you don't want to be sociable, I'll 90

The two men walked silently along
for a minute or two, the sociable man
in state of great irritation, until
Perry suddenly halted in front of a
drug store.

I'll go in here and get a dose OF

"Going into decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What
does it mean? 1t means the people
are losing flesh, growing thin, vast
ing. ,...
The way to correct this condition
is to improve the digestion. The con-
dition arises from an inability to eat
and digest food. In fact food does
more harm than good because it fer
ments and putrefies in the stomach,
developing poisonous substances
which when absorbed cause various
disorders.
WHAT'S required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The

Our OBLIGATIONS.

This is good time for such as pro-
fess to know the way, the truth and
the life, to consider how great is their
responsibility toward those who are
ignorant.
We dare not say 'it is nothing to
u.s. if that man or this woman goes
astray for want of the help we might
give them; for the kind word or the
''cup Of cold water that we can all
give. If we possess these helps, be
they great or small, they are only
ours to share, not to hoard.
Do you say, it is of no use, these
people are, many of them ungrateful
will not appreciate our efforts-nay
will even turn against us at times?
True, and yet there was one who
said: IL wept for the sorrows and pain
of men. [ healed them, and helped
them, and loved them, but then
They shouted against me-Crucify,
crucify!'
And however we may speak with
our mouths, we know in our hearts
that our progress toward better life
depends upon how we fulfill in thl:
life our obligations to our brother.
