Personated the Queen.

There Is an old Lady lying in the
Pennsylvania hospital at Philadelphia
with broken leg who once sat as the
figure of a life-size painting of Queen
Victoria. She is Miss Blanche Sully,
and her father was Thomas Sully, in
his time famous painter of portraits.
In 1887 he went to England with COM
mission from the St. George society to
paint the portrait of young Queen Vic
toria. He took his daughter with him,
and as she was very nearly of the same
stature as the queen she sat for the
figure in her fathers picture of Vic
toria, thus saving the latter the an
noyance of long sittings. During the
sittings Miss Sully became quite init
mate with her majesty, and brought
back with her to this country many de-
!ightful memoirs Of her royal friend.

he warns children against playing with
them, for many reasons. "While cats
are useful as rat catchers, they may
be dangerous as pets" There is no
doubt that they carry germs in their
fur, hence they should always be ex-
cluded from sick room. When a cat
returns from a walk he may bring poi
soned claws. Mice are afflicted with the
irritating skin and scalp disease called
favus. The mouser is therefore likely
to communicate this most unpleasant
disease by slight scratch, and cats
are known to have introduced ring
worm into families. They are not de-
sirable playmates for children.

ough, South Mountain, Antietam and
the subsequent pursuit, engaged the
enemy frequently at fredericksburg
and stayed the further advance of the
confederates at Charlottesville.
May 2, when Jackson's confederate
corps was coming down upon the right
flank of Hooker's corps, Gen. PleaSan-
ton, by his quick and skillful action,
saved the army from a serious disaster.
Ordering the Eighth Pennsylvania to
charge boldly into the woods in the face
of the advancing host, he delayed Jack
sons progress few minutes-just long
enough to throw into position all the
artillery that was in reach. He ordered
the guns loaded with grape and cannis-
ter, and depressed enough to make the
shot strike the ground halfway between
their lines and the edge of the woods.
When the confederate column emerged
it met such storm of iron as no troops
could pass through. About this time
Jackson fell, and before any new ma
neuvers could be undertaken darkness
put an end to the days work.
In 1862 Gen. Pleasanton received the
brevet of lieutenant colonel, and was
promoted to major general of volun-
teers in June, 1863. He participated in
the numerous actions that preceded the
battle of Gettysburg and was COM
mander in chief of cavalry in that &C
ton. Transferred to Missouri in 1864,
and drove the forces of Gen. Sterling
Price from the state, and in March, the
year following, was breveted brigadier
general of the United States army for
his gallant service in that campaign.
He resigned in 1868 and was United
States collector of revenue for several
years, and finally president of the Terre
Haute G. Cincinnati railFoad. In May,
1888, he was placed on the retired list,
with the rank of colonel, and since then
had resided in Washington, his only
means of livelihood being his pension.
His military record was untarnished
from the beginning to the close of his
career. His elder brother, Gen. August
James Pleasanton, was the author of
the famous "blue glass theory" b.

Remarkable Rescue of n Boy and Girl

Remarkable Rescue of n Boy and Girl
Skater Near baltimore.
William Frasher is brakeman on the
p, w. & B. railroad, which runs from
Philadelphia to Washington. Bush
river is stream IL miles from Balti-
more, and the railroad crosses it on a,
low bridge. In early January the stream
was frozen over, but the ice was thin
and dangerous near the bridge. A sign
to this effect was plainly visible, but
the boys and girls who were skating on
the river were inclined to take chances,
as young skaters will do. One boy was
especially daring, and skated within ten
yards of the bridge. AS nothing hap
pened, he made another venture, this
time with his little sister, and the con-
sequence was that the ice gave way,
and the two children were struggling
in 20 feet of water. Neither could swim,
and If the boy had not caught hold of
the pier, they would have been drowned
at once. Just then freight train came
on the bridge, and Frasher, on the ca
boose, saw the boy and girl in the water.
He signaled the train TO stop, but with
out waiting for it, he plunged into the
river and made his way to the children,
whom he soon had in a. position of
safety. The children were wrapped in
warm robes and sent home, none the
worse for their wetting, while the brave
brakeman secured change of clothing
end went on his way as if nothing had
happened.

DRINKS SPIRITS OF INTER-.
indian Changes Druggists and Must
Now Change Beverages.

NOW ChanSe beverages.
Undiluted alcohol, hard cider, Jamai-
ca ginger, bay rum, lemon extract and
perfumery are only few among the
many beverages on which the Indians
from the neighboring Omaha and Win
nebago reservations are in the habit of
celebrating their occasional visits to
Sioux City. So far as known, how
ever, Jim Humphry, thin, cadaverous
red man of the Winnebago tribe, is
the only one who goes on sweet spirits
of inter DRINKS. The pharmacist from
whom Jim obtained the drug had no
idea of the purpose to which his GUS
toner put it, and the Indian might
have gone on indefinitely had the whim
not struck him to change to another
druggist. The latter didn't understand,
when Humphrey asked for "piter Mites"
and the investigation which followed
brought out the actual facts in the case.
Jim was speedily returned to the reser-
vation minus the usual supply of his
favorite poison. No attempt will be
made to punish the druggist from
whom he obtained the drug, as the lat
ter was ignorant of the use to which
Ii was put.
