"

Lambert's nerves were tingliug
trifle and his thoughts were not the
most cheerful as he went away. That
he should find his company commander
miser, a recluse, and something of
mystery, had all been foreshadowed.
But that discipline should have been
abandoned in sc" company was quite
another thing. Farnham, the captain
proper. was an officer who had held
high command in the volunteers-too
high, indeed. to serve with equanimity
under the field officer now at the mead of
the regiment, who had had no war serv-
ice whatever Farnham was within 4
few files of promotion to majority, and
therefore despised company duty. So
long as his company had been stationed
in the city, furnishing guards and or
derlies for the various officers then
guartered there, he remained with it.
and occasionally saw a portion of it
on Sunday morning. Then, after two
years of this demoralizing service, came
the months of detachment duty up in
the interior, and Farnham's friends in
court were glad to get him out of such
a mire as that. Ever since June, there
fore, Close had been alone with the men
and they with him. and no one in au-
thority had the faintest idea how things
were going. Inspectors were also I'M
known in those days. and SO long as re-
ports and returns were regularly re-
ceived at headquarters, and no COM
Ilaints came in from the civil author
tiles of negligence or Indifference on
the part of their military hackers, all
went smoothly. Now, there had not
been a few instances where civil and
military officials had clasbed, but Capt.
Close and his splendid company had
teen the theme of more than one laud-
atory report from the marshal on the
score of what he heard from his depu-
ties. The general commanding, indeed,
had been much elated by high COM
mendation from the highest power in
Washington, all due to services rem
dered in running down hu klux and
breaking up moonshiners by Capt.
Close, OF company G. -th infantry.
Its just exactly what tie old buffers
cut out ior," said the adjutant general
of the department; ''but I'm sorry to
have to see young Lambert sent into
such exile"
He could hardly have been sorrier
than Lambert was himself, as that
young officer went briskly up the des-
olate road along the branch" He had
never seen a landscape SD dismal in all
his life. How on earth was he to en-
ploy his time? No drills. no roll calls,
no duties except the sending forth of
detachmcnts at the call of this fellow
Parmelee; no books except the few in
his trunk; no companions except this
heavy, illiterate, money grabbing lout
who did not know enough to offer him .

''SHALL Memorial day be relegated
into obscurity, becoming itself only a
memory?" is a matter that has been
under consideration in various states
for some time past, the ground being
taken that the day set apart for honor
ing the memory of dead heroes is made
more of time for jollification than for
paying tribute to those who fell in de-
Tense of freedom. 1t is suggested that
a Memorial day be observed on the last
Sunday in May, when services can be
held in the various churches and the
tributes from the living to the dead
placed on green mounds in the differ.

In September 1900 Cherokees will
begin a land march to the old battle
field near Russellville, KY, where
Chief Watchpa was said to have been
killed in 1894 In a battle with the
Shawnees. They will carry with
them all the carved legends and war
souvenirs of Watchna and will deposit
them on his grave. This deposit of
tribal relics is due to belief recently
taught by an old medicine man that
the tribe is doomed to complete ex-
finction in a few wears.

tobacco and drinks water, but says he
will quit both at the end of 80 days

he had no craving for nourishment

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too ire
qient desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages.
1t corrects inability 10 hold urine and
scaidlng pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following use Of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
