had been trumpeted at that particular
spot every day for nearly two months.
1t was the command that brought the
regiment in column formation through
the wide gateway into the upper drill
grounds. The effect of this familiar
bugle call was instantly discernible.
There was a sudden checking up, a
shifting, rearing and plunging into
one another among the horses. Many
of the animals were too wildly excited
either to hear or obey the bugle call {,
but 500 free, riderless, stampeding
horses checked up and fought their
way out of the demoralized cavalcade
and as implicitly obeyed the command
as if sadded and mounted.
First there came dozen or so shy
leaders, trotting through the gateway,
followed by frequent lunches of from
40 to so each, until 500 cavalry horses
were running at large over the parade
ground.
Three hundred of the animals, how
ever, madly rushed past the gate and
the bugler. A cloud of dust which
hung long in their wake marked the
route that the animals took. AS the
stamped reached the more densely
populated section of the city, it divid-

How Capt. Self Cures 1t, Sound and Bright
Without Losing Leaves.
The value of peavine hay is recog.
nized everywhere, but the difficulty
heretofore encountered in curing il
has somewhat limited the production.
One of the finest farmers in the state
is Captain I. R. Self, of this county,
who has demonstrated the fact that
peavine hay can be harvested and
cured with less trouble than any other.
His success in curing it has become
known and he is constantly in receipt
of inquiries as to his method. For the
benefit of his brother farmers, Captain
Self, on Monday, kindly gave The
Journal his experiences in curing pea
vine hay. .
Two years ago he tried the method
as an experiment. He moved the
vines in the morning and let them lie
until the afternoon of the next day,
when, if no rain had fallen, he raked
the hay into cocks. The next morn.
ing. as soon as the dew had dried off,
he hauled the cocks to his barn lot
and packed the vines into rail pens
ten feet square, having heavy man
to tramp them in, putting seven two
horse loads to pen.
On the third morning after the vines
had been packed into the pens, smoke
was seen issuing from every crevice
and the vines were found so hot one

INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY UPON MEN.

INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY UPON MEN.
A French lady once remarked to
another lady within the hearing of
the writer: "You do not care SO much
now about your looks, my dear, that
you are married."
There was something very incon-
grous in this remark coming from the
lips of lady of France, since all
French women, as u rule, bear up
their reputation for skill aud tact in
preserving their personal seductive.
ness, destinations and charms even
unto old age, thus showing their very
great sense and, one might say, abso-
lutte wisdom.
The very time when woman does
need 70 care about her good looks is
after she has won the heart of the one
man in the world she cared about
winning.
For her own sake and her husbands
she should care.
No man wants his wife to seem
lacking in charm. And once he loses
his pride in her, he very fast loses his
respect for her, and, where there is no
respect, talk as you will, there can he
no genuine, high-souled love.
A woman should make the most of
herself in her husbands eyes. She
should endeavor to appear the fairest,
daintiest, and the noblest woman of
her sex. In word and deed, in her
every mannerism, as we'll as in per-
sonal appearance, she should try her
uttermost to inspire her husband with
respect for her, and to keep and hold
him enchanted and enthralled by
means of those heart and mind quail
ties and personal seductions that first
won him.
A woman who is wise in this way
need have no fear of cause for jeal-
ously.
Jealously, by the way, my dear
sisters, is nothing in the world but
personal acknowledgement that you
regard yourself beneath some other
woman or women in some respect. 1t
is tacit confession of your own in
feriority Did you ever think of that?
Another thing; to be jealous is to
acknowledge your husbands unworth-
mess. No gentleman ever gives his
wife cause for unfaith in him. If she
be such that he cannot live with her,
then he must leave her, but no man
with drop of good blood in his veins
insults the woman to whom he has
pledged his sacred marriage vows,
whether ever suspected of such cow
ardice or not.
1t is mistake to regard marriage
as detrimental to woman's welfare
from any point of view, as sometimes
it seems to be regarded, judging from
such remarks as quoted; on the con-
trary it broadens instead of narrowing
woman's sphere, as when she marries
her real life only begins Then, and
then only, does the supreme glorifica-
ton of her sex begin to dawn.

sallow people should wrap themselves
thoroughly if the weather is cool, step
out upon an open porch or stand at an
open window, and fill the lungs mod
erately full, breathing precisely as one
does for the most violent exercise
that is, in short, quick, deep inspira-
tions, each one occupying not over two
seconds.
Use the muscles TO expand the lungs
and chest, and inhale all the air posi-
ble. If the exercise causes pain or
giddiness, stop at once. This is the
natural consequence of the action and
does no harm, provided it is not con-
tinued. After a few minutes, when
all unpleasant feeling has passed away,
repeat the effort. This may be done
two or three times within AL hour or
so, and should be followed up day af-
ter day at intervals of from one to
several hours. If the patient is
very delicate, three times a day is
enough for beginning. In very
short time marked Improvement will
be perceived.
Another exercise with the lungs is
to expand the chest with the muscles
to its fullest extent, then fill the lungs
and hold the breath as long as possible.
This causes heavy pressure of air on
undeveloped and defective lung sells,
and after time will open all of the
passages of the lungs, and create
condition of health to which great
many people are entire strangers.

A FAMOUS RUNNER.

Fifty years ago the renown of Ernest
Mensen spread all over Europe. His
exploits make the pedestrian feats of
the present day look Insignificant.
He was a runner who first came into
notice by running from Paris to Mos
COW, a distance of 1,760 miles, in l3
days and 1S hours. In 1886 he ran
through Central Asia from Calcutta to
Conslunlinople, bearing dispatches for
the East Iudia company. The distance
is 5,615 miles, and he accomplished it
in SO days, one-third of the time taken
by the swiftest caravan.
A favorite employment for him was
as the messenger-extraordinary OF SOW
ereigns. He ran from country to
country bearing letters and dispatches
of the highest import, and always
beat mounted couriers when matched
against them. He never walked, but
always ran.
Invariably he took the direct route
to his destination, climbing mountains,
swimming rivers, and guiding himself
through forests in way known only
to himself His food was a small
quantity of biscuit and raspberry
syrup. His rests he took twice in "a
hours, when he usually leaned against
some support, covered his face with
handkerchief, and slept. If he was
compelled to remain quiet any length
of time, he complained of giddiness
and rush of blood to the head.
In 1912 he was employed to discover
the source of the Nile. Starting from
Silesia in May, ls4S, he ran to Jerusa-
lem, then to Cairo, and up the banks
of the Nile into Egypt. Just outside
the village of Lyapg he was seen to
stop and rest, leaning against palm
tree, his face covered as was his wont.
He rested so long that some persons
tried to wake him. They tried IN
vain, for he was dead.

this they charged, until in few min

mass of confused, loose cavalry horses.
1t is distance of three blocks from
the corral to the adjutant's head
quarters, and in this direction the
stampeded cavalcade surged. At the
first alarm Capt. John Green, of Troop
I, and two men mounted their horses,
and at one bound, cleared the iron
fence around the headquarters for a
short cut to the corral. Riding before
the stampede, the three men wildly
shook their hats in the faces of the
leaders of the heard, and sought after
the leading cowboy mode to yell and
whoop the wild cavalcade into con-
troll. But their mounts were borne
and driven forward by the irresistible
surge of the 800 stampeding horses.
At this juncture Bugler Mc1lhenny,
of K Troop, with splendid presence of
mind, rushed to the gate and sounded

The house is quite still, every one
has retired to rest, and | am sitting
alone in my boudoir, trying to piece to-
gether the terrible experiences of the
last few days and to write them down.
Even now they scarcely seem real.
They rather seem like those flashes
which haunt us when we are suddenly
awakened from strange dreams. Lest
they should fade altogether, as cream
memories do, am going to recall them

fication.
Before l proceed to my narrative,
h,wever. let me frankly own to myself
and to any one who may hereafter read
these words that have been justly
punished for my own frivolousness and
folly Like many another thoughtless
woman, played with fire, little think
ing that it might some day imperil my
life and honor. A young girl, alone in
the world, and with no guide but her
own caprice, cannot be too circumspect
in her relations with the opposite sex.
!, so far from being circumspect, was
foolhardy Treated like spoiled child,
idolized and tiattered on every hand, l
craved only for sympathy and adora-
ton, and | was careless in awakening
feelings to which l never intended seri-
ously to respond Although not at heart
q coquette, I certainly behaved Like
one, and have paid the penalty.
All that 1 can urge in my own de-
Tense is that my position was peculiar
one, and that had little or no expert
ence Brought up in England, where
people were so much more sophisticated
and commonplace, l was placed under
extraordinary circumstances in the
midst of society which was to great
extent unconventional. My suitors, gen.
tlemen in external appearance, had all
the strong passions and prejudices of
the half civilized. They could not un-
derstand mere friendship. They mistook
frankness for cordiality and camara-
derie for love. A kind word, gentle
look, a pressure of the hand, was inter-
preted instantly into the warmest of
sentiments
